    Default choosing between a H-L Split and HLM

    Assuming a person can fully follow a properly designed program and meet all recovery factors, do you guys feel that HLM has any advantage over a 4-day H-L Split in terms of speed of progress for an intermediate trainee? I have always felt like the Split is a further compromise away from aggressive training, but perhaps I shouldn't view it that way.

    Thanks!

    I would argue that the split potentially allows you to do more work in a given week, although given that the two schemes have a lot of variability, that is not a hard and fast rule. Both of the programs are set up to progress weekly. Both programs have their applications. I don't know that one is universally better or harder than the other. Enough of a non-answer for you?
