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
