    Now started training upper and lower days instead of muscle group splits.

    Anyone else done this before?

    Yeah. I've done PHUL which is upper and lower, two power days and two strength days. I run a DUP style training now so I don't have muscle group days. Some days I bench, deadlift, and squat in the same day. Sometimes just bench and squat, etc. Two days I add accessories and I split them by upper and lower.

    Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I shredded my back pulling a PR on deadlifts Wednesday so I took yesterday off for an extra recovery day. I did triceps today/upper back today. I really enjoyed going to the gym on Saturday morning.. Very quiet and I was super rested from two days off!!

    I run Wendlers 531 program and it's a fundamentally upper lower split.
    On the 11th cycle for this past year.

    I'm quite surprised how intense it is training this way. Haven't had doms like this for a long time!

    Getting ready to go for a hot, nasty ride...I was going to go this morning while it was cool out, but I had to fix the A/C before it heated up today...A/C is working, but now it's 105* and I need to get my ride in. I'd skip it, but I'm two weeks out from my TT and have already missed some significant training time this summer nursing some nagging injuries.
