lifting routine

i wanted to know which training split you ladies like the best or felt you got the best results from

I think that, of those that you listed above, I prefer a 3 day split. Recently I have been doing 30 mins of cardio and 30 minutes of one body part each day, and I really like that as well.

i did upper and lower split b/c its easier for me to add in cardio(mostly either step or kickboxing)along with longer ab routines and i am able to fit in a balanced week for myself. although i do switch it up with full body workouts. i rarely do 3-4 day splits but i do give them a shot once in while just to change it up.

I didn't vote in the poll because I had my best results with Cathes 4DS. However, I'm SO EXCITED ABOUT STS!!! I'm expecting GREAT results from it and I can hardly wait to get it!!

I tend to change it up. Sometimes I feel like total body and then one week I'll decide to do a split. I think variety is good!

I enjoy full body circuit style / superset-style training best. But my body responds best to a 3 day split. Doing multiple sets for a single muscle group in a single session somehow works better for me for both fat loss and toning.

I tend to change it up as well. I've done it all and love them all for different reasons. Currently I am doing a 4DS rotation. First time. I did it for a couple of weeks when it first came out but that's it. I'm excited to see what it does for me.

So far though, the best results I've gotten are with the 3 day split when I committed to a full rotation of the X last year!

I've been doing full body workouts all summer with great success.
I will switch to a split routine for the winter months when my STS program arrives

I thought some of you might find this article very interesting. It is written by a well respected trainer on T-nation. He makes a strong case for full body workouts.

I do a 3 day split right now, but my preference (which is not listed) is a 6 day split, one bodypart per day. I don't have time for it right now, but it's definitely what gave me the best results b/c I could really focus & hit the individual muscles hard.

I used to do one upper, one lower and one full body each week. That's still my main plan, but I change it up every week and am having a blast. I think I'm in the "shock your body" phase and am really liking the results. Not so much in appearance, but in actual strength. Some weeks I'll do the above, others a three-day split, others a four-day split. Some days I'll go as heavy as possible, others I'll lighten up.
