Hi guys!
I'm currently on my third bulking HST cycle. My routine is shown below:
A / B
bench press / incline bench press
barbell row / pull down
barbell press / dumbbell press
leg press / squat
barbell shurgs (forward / backward)
close-grip bench / triceps extension
barbell curl / dumbbell curl
calf raise / calf raise
I am finishing the stage 15's and I will keep a constant volume (30 reps per muscle group). Thus:
15's: 2 sets
10's: 3 sets
5's: 6 sets
pos-5's, 6 sets + optimization
During stage 5's and post-5's I plan to train twice a day (AM / PM). My question is: should I divide the total volume in each training session, ie 3X5 AM and 3X5 PM, OR then slightly increase the volume, making 4X5 AM and 4X5 PM? I read in some e-books that one of the greatest advantages of training twice a day is just an opportunity to increase the volume of training. Is it worth increasing volume in this case?
