The whole push pull, or upper lower splits never really did it for me. I'm 200lbs and 10-12% year round. Just want to look good in my birthday suit.
I'll do heavy compound either at the start or the end depending on the routine. Always watching for new or improved things to do. Seems like there is a finite number of combinations.
No matter the routine, split, stack, ect.. Gains / maintenance seems more dependent on sleep, diet, sex and overall health (stress) to me. Its as though the stimulus (training) is only a small component of the overall.
Throw booze into the mix is like a handful of sand into the machine. Sobriety and family man life has seen more progression / easier maintenance than when I was juciey AF and training like a psycho.
