Is this a good split for bulking

[Theguns]

OKay i have been lifting alot but took a week break....once schools out in a few days im gonna ditch my home gym and join a real one.....going to start bulk dieting soon and was wondering if this was a good spilt for bulking

Sun- Off
Mon-Chest/biceps/4arms/
tues-Back/triceps/abs
Wed-off
Thrus- Shoulders/bieps/4 arms
Fri--Legs/Legs/Legs/Legs/abs
Sat-off

The reason i work bis/tris/4 arms more often is because i read that those a re much smaller groups in comparision to chest/ legs and they take less time to reover therefor can be worked more often

If you disagree with me please give me a solid 4 or 5 day a week routine...i could do six if you think so ( and arent a newb)

Theres really no point in hitting arms twice a week, ex. your bis get hit indirectly when doing back and same with tris and chest. I would recommend a pull(back/bi)/push(chest/shoulder/tris)/ and leg split.

I like the low volume high intensity scheme, member your body grows when you rest so more doesnt mean better..

Not just that, but for size, you want your back to be absolutely ready to blast when you work it. Doing biceps the day before isn't going to have you 100% ready for a heavy ass pulling session...

Keep it simple baby.

also bulking has more to do with your eating

correct me if im wrong boyd (or any1)...but i dont see why u would change your routine (other then cardio) if your bulking or cutting...bulking basically just comes down to more carbs then when u cut. until i hit like 230 lbs (natural) with a pretty low body fat, im not cutting...and when i do cut i highly doubt ill change my routine to a "cutting routine" ill still focus on heavy ass weight on the compounds etc, ill just eat less carbs, and more cardio

so for u, just focus on a solid routine, push the heaviest weights u can lift, and just fVckin eat eat eat eat (good foods)...EAT

this is a 4 day split i find to be VERY good for me

mon: back width (lat's etc)\bi's
tue:
wen: Chest\tri's
thur:
fri: Legs
sat:
sun: Shoulders\ Back thickness (deads etc)

and throw in the abs where ever u want

i loved this routine, made big gains on it

To "bulk" you need to do the following:

1. overload your muscles - give a reason for your muscles to respond with growth.

2. consume more calories than you use - divide your calories into 5-6 even meals a day while making sure you are getting plenty of good carbs, proteins and fats.

3. Rest - Your muscles grow when you rest, they breakdown when you lift. Therefore, create a split that allows your muscles to heal properly. For example, hitting your triceps the day after you hit your chest is counterproductive when wanting your muscles to grow effectively.

Mon: legs
Tue: off
Wed: push
thur: off
Fri: pull

create your routine around the big 3 and do big compound movements to involve as many muscle fibers as possible.

Is 3 days a week enough though? or should i try to push for 4?

If I want to cut is it ok if I do the 1 and 3 but consume less calories than I use?
Thanks

yes, but make sure your calories arent being cut by reducing protein, while cutting u need make sure your protein intake stays high
