Upper body vs. lower body splits

[waxnei32]

I'm looking to condense my workouts into possibly four to five day a week weight training. I would like to switch over to split routines that focus on upper and lower body
can you give me some tips on what you would recommend me to do. should I be splitting it two days upper body and two days lower body or should I just focus on one day a week heavyset lower body and then do the rest of the week upper body?

most pros do 4-5 day splits man. you are making this way too complicated here. just split up your body parts into 4 or 5 days and hit them those days.

I do upper body 2-3 days per week and lower body 2 days per week that is mainly my split.

seperate out your groups..''

back/bis
legs/shoulders and abs

or how you see fit

I prefer training full body personally.

Just experiment with different routines and see what you like more. And also what is more effective for you.
