I would do pushing upper body in the morning and pulling upper body in the evening. The next day in the morning I would do pushing lower body power lifts and in the evening do individual leg muscles. then i would start again the next day. Why did this give way better results? And why have you guys been saying that with you need rest to gain muscle? Why have you guys been saying that more gym time does not necessarily bring greater results?
