Days off and rest

[Pastor]

For the longest time i trained 1 body part Monday thru Friday and rest Saturdays and Sundays; my biggest concern was size and i kept my body fat under control by eating clean. Recently i changed to 5 days cycle: 4 days to train the whole body and a fifth day of rest, well that day of rest is gone cause am doing cardio 7 days a week, also the training has changed to more sets up to even circuit training; all this cause i realized that certainly leaning out has become harder to me…am 54 and right now as i just woke up and get ready to go to the gym am thinking to train back to back without a day of rest to give this cutting cycle my best. After that as i go into TRT will take a few days off the gym and after i will be getting ready for that show.
What and how are your days off and rest right now?

Right now I’m on 6 days and off one and hitting chest/back/arms twice a week. I also just started splitting my legs.

I train chest and delts on monday, back and calves tuesday, weds off, delts and traps thursday, arms friday, and legs and calves saturday

 

[Pastor]

So you split your delts or you train them twice

The day i train them with chest is more of hardcore lifting the second session is more supersets and pumping type workout less rest faster pace. I feel since i naturally have a wider waist 32-33” in contest shape i cant have big enough delts and lats to create the x frame

 

[Pastor]

Okay, I might try that, my waist is small (28) but my shoulders are not my best body part and men’s physique is all about shoulders with
