Upper/Lower strength training Split

[WarBringer]

Hey guys,

 

been talking to a trainer online, who reckons I should do this upper lower strength training routine. To me it looks like there’s not enough of each muscle group to be beneficial. The way I’m ment to do it is. Monday- Upper Tuesday-Lower Weds-Off Thursday-Upper (again) Thursday-Lower 2 and on weekend I can do optional day. What’s your thoughts on this.

3x8 close grip bench
3x8 overhead press
3x10 lat pulldowns

3x10 pullups (assisted, body weight, or weighted as needed)

Lower 1

It’ll work great if you know how to lift properly and progressively get stronger on those movements every week
