I have a lot of questions, since I was a swimmer and just now am entering this world of body building.
1 - As far as frequency, I really would like to train 6 times a week because I enjoy training. How bad would it be if I split the practice in upper and lower body and do it i two days?
2 - Since I am spliting the practice, is it ok if I increase the number of sets to 3-5 per muscle group?
3 - Since I am a begginer, I am very far from my plateau. So, I am thinking how necessary it would be for me to do strategic deconditioning very often.
4- The fourth and last question is about periodization. I am wondering what would be the best advice for someone like me who will be training HST for a year. Would it be better to train one 8 weeks cycle after another... or would it be better for me to make the cycles longer... like 12 weeks or so?
