As stated in title, recently started with SQ/OHP/DL twice a week. Did a bunch of searching on the board and it seems like most posts commenting on 2-day templates lean towards a A/B split alternating the squat and deadlift/clean as well as OHP/BP; or some variation of that theme. It has been my understanding that hitting an exercise one a week (Say: DL on Tues, Squat on Fri) is not frequent enough stress to cause an an adaptation; but with the movement patterns be similar between the barbell lifts, perhaps that does not apply (I also could, of course, be completely wrong regarding what I think to be true regarding frequency/adaptation).
So, in short my question would be: Would my basic "big 3" twice week be just fine for beginning to build some basic strength back considering, my schedule limitations, or would an A/B split of some variety be a better use of available training time?
Thanks
