Been lifting for ~1.5 years, want to change program, help me bros

newbies first time posting on IST. So I started out doing boring ole PPL, 6 days a week 1 day rest, noticed I wasn't growing so I started incorporating more rest days. Moved to 1 day full body 2 hours in the gym, 2 days rest, repeat. Found that that worked super well for me.

Been doing that for the last 6 months, have made decent gains. Got my bench to 235, shoulder press to 75 dbs, etc. Uni is getting hectic so I dont have time to go to the gym for 2.5 hours anymore, thinking of trying a different program so I can spend less time there in one sesh.

So anons, any suggestions? I checked /t/ some time back for any programs and found none.

    I am an advocate of the bro split, if you’re training for mostly aesthetics (although I’ve made great strength gainz as well, nothing wrong with that). Here’s my routine

    1. Chest
    2. Legs (quad focus)
    3. Back
    4. Shoulders
    5. Arms
    6. Legs (glute/hamstring focus)

    Although if you wanna do a 5 day routine, you could just combine your leg days, or shoulders and chest into one day. I like this split because you get to hit one of the major lifts each day (except for arms), plus accessories. And you can change up your workouts if you get tired of the same thing, while not really changing the overall routine.

            10X10 IS NOT ADVISED,
            GRANTED SQUATTING 100KG FOR 100 REPS WITH 9 MINUTES REST TESTS THE WORK CAPACITY,
            IVE NEVER FELT PAIN LIKE IT IN MY LEGS,
            I DIDNT DO CLEANS OR SNATCHES,
            BENCHED 60KG FOR 100
            SQUATTED 100KG FOR 100
            PRESSED 35KG FOR 100
            NO DEADLIFTS, THEY ARE DONE HEAVY AND LOW VOLUME,
            YOU WILL INJURE YOURSELF DOING 60% OR 100 REPS

    Sorry for the cringe post before mine (all of them). Do an UPPER/LOWER body split 4 days a week focused on compound movements with your first days being focused on strength and the other focused on volume. I also advise you to have an arm + abs days

      Oh, if you are a natty, you can get away with just squats + (one of the two a day: deadlifts + variation like RDL) for legs. Look at any natty guy who squats heavy, they sure as hell should even focus on decreasing their fricking legs. So you can use this in other to put more upper body on your lower body days

    Upper/lower split is best, I do
    >Upper 1 - chest/back/arms/neck
    >rest
    >Lower 1 - legs/shoulders (I prefer to do them separately from chest/tri day)/abs
    >rest
    >Upper 2 - same as 1, but different lifts, more vertical pulling for back whereas day 1 is more horizontal pulling
    >rest
    >Lower 2 - deadlifts/shoulders/abs

    Has worked well for the past few years, I just rotate programs every 3-4 months and it keeps me moving forward
