Each
body part should be trained ONCE a week — this gives plenty of time to recover before the next training session — and I recommend training the full -
body, regardless if using the two or three
day split, because
working the full
body produces more anabolic hormone than just doing the
upper or lower
body alone, recruits more motor units than
working the
upper or lower
body alone, and the more motor units recruited per session, the greater the increase in neural activity, which will train the
body to
work more effectively as a whole, and therefore aid in better fat loss.
