Is going to the gym 6 times a week less superior than 3 days a week?

I read some scientific papers and it says 3 times a week full body is better than 6 times a week unless u are on geer. So just do SL 5x5

Better? Not necessarily.

Look, let´s take three geniuses that we know and make an analogy. Von Neumann liked to think and calculate while standing up and surrounded by noise. He liked to work in the living room while his wife watched TV loudly. Wolfgang Pauli partied hard with bitches and booze every single night in Vienna, woke up at 4pm and only then started working. Einstein needed peace and quiet to work, and did a lot of his thinking in his long quiet walks around Princeton.

Point is: some guys grow best with 3 workouts a week. Some do 3 full bodies, some do ABA or ABC. Some do 6. Some do ABCDEx. Serge Nubret did around 50-80 sets per workout, only light weights and with 30 seconds of rest. Arnold did ABABABx, tranining twice a day, 1.5 hours each workout. Others train for half an hour a day.

You gotta go and test it all until you find out what works for you. The answer isn´t here its in the gym, over time.

Just don't be me.

>tight ass with money
>feel like im wasting money unless im using my gym membership at least 5-6 times a week
>try doing 3 day novice routine as novice
>feel like im wasting money only going 3 times a week
>end up fucking around on a split going 6 days a week to ensure im getting the most out of my membership
>spin wheels forever

I just bought a home gym power rack and started a novice routine again after wasting the last 2 years fucking around at the gym.

Think of it this way, if you do arm day, chest day, back day, you're only training those muscles once a week and you're not giving yourself time to recover. With full body workouts and a rest day inbetween, you train all your muscle groups 3-4 times a week.
Just don't do 5x5 unless you want to look like this

PPL is perf IMO.
and you can easily do it in 5 days a week too by doing push+legs on the last day as well, boom 2 rest days in a row, baller.

Individually resting muscle groups 2 days, and then in addition you get 1-2 full rest days.

Sounds good to me.

>what is PPL
fuck off fatty

PPL is ridicuulous
it's just a bodypart split with a scientific name
the real push-pull is great though

Im not OP, but PPL is too much IMHO.

I can only do the big compound movements once every 7-10 days. They're too hard on my body. Im too strong to do them often.

I guess I could do PPL with a ton of fluff work, but I would not be doing big compounds.

>I can only do the big compound movements once every 7-10 days.
>Im too strong
lol

>PPL „scientific name“
It‘s literally Push Pull Legs you massive fucking degenerate faggot
