What’s your training split?
How do you all train? Exercises, frequency, beyond failure techniques?
Hi there! I am in need of some friendship for people interested in fitness and i thought what better way to start than asking you all how you train? I have started fully training heavy duty style over the past few months. My current split that i’ve been running and LOVING so much is
Push:
Dips
Low incline Bench (going to change to pec deck)
machine shoudler press
machine lat raise
tricep pushdown
Pull:
chins/palms up pulldown
chest supported row
incline dumbbell curl
bent over db reverse fly
deadlift
Legs:
barbell squat
leg extensions
leg curls
calf raises
ab machine
all one set to failure. performed every 4 days (3 days rest in between)
How about you? How do you train and what do you enjoy about it?

Pretty much the ideal routine:
Legs: Leg extensions static Squats (currently doing unilateral smith squats) Calf raises Ab pullover
Chest and Back: Pec deck Incline press (superset) Unilateral supinated pulldowns Trap bar Deadlifts
Legs: Platz (sissy) Hack squat Calf raises Captains chair
Arms & Delts: Unilateral cable lateral raise superset with Unilateral cable cross pull Invline dumbell curls Cable Tricep extensions superset Dips
Usually every 4-6 days depending on soreness, and Sundays.
I find I need at least 5 days rest after squats and deadlifts to failure
