You need more frequency per lift. Generally why i don'r recommend splits for anyone unless you're over 2x bodyweight on core lifts and/or play a sport(s).
Are you doing each lift once a week? Not going to make much progress 1x a week after you hit a certain point.
Reason why SS is good is becauase you're squatting 3x a week + getting bench + press combo 3x a week (avg 1.5x each week).

Don't worry about it, eat your whole eggs and enjoy them
EDIT:
Today's workout:
BB Squat: 70kg x 8, 80kg x 5 and 90kg x 10 (Squats coming along quite nicely)
Leg Press: 5 sets of 200kg x 10 (5 reps less than last time but +30kg!)
More dragonflag practicing, keep breaking at the hips on those

Even in "large" quantities, say, 3 eggs a day?

Finally did 3x5 195 lb bench yesterday, was supposed to hit that about a month ago.

I and many others I know eat at least 5-6 per day. Couple people I know do 8-12+

really? that's interesting, I thought if you increased frequency you would just screw yourself over cause you need more time to rest once you pass a certain point.
bench and squats are on the same workout day, chinups and some others on workout day, and deadlift/ab work on the third. since they are once every 5 days it equates to 4.5 workouts a week, so some lifts can be said to be done twice in the same week while others will not

Increase freq is only a problem if there's increased workload.
Soemthing like SS where you're 3x a week with only 3-4 exercises per workout is fairly easy to recover from.
4-5x a week full body is less likely to recover from unelss you have good conditioning level.
Again, I have no clue what you're actually doing so its hard to say. If you're on some sort of split would say just to drop it and go with a full body routine 3x a week.

If you're new you should be doing full body work.
SS or any variant on that is fine. SS tends to get better results compared to most other beginner programs so that's why I recommend it.

If you're not eating pastured eggs you will probably need to supplement with fish oil/cod liver oil to balance the omega 6's with 3's in the eggs. Unless you're getting it from another source such as wild caught fish or grass fed beef/pasture meat. From what I remember eggs should have about 600 mg of omega 3 fatty acids to balance with the 6's in it. Cholesterol is not the problem with eggs.

On the leg / shoulder day: I'd do the leg press before leg curls and leg extensions
On the chest / tri day: I'd drop the skull crushers and tri-extensions and do dips and close grip bench press.
On the back / bi day: I'd do deadlifts to start the session off followed by pullups and bb rows. Finishing up with db rows. Then you can curl
Edit: or you could do SS and save yourself a whole lot of trouble

On a side note: how many of you do specific work for the rotator cuff?

lately ive been getting cramps in my jaw
like for the last few months, every once in a while
they generally stick around for maybe an hour, and hit suddenly for a few seconds at a time
often times if they are happening and i try to eat something my jaw will go absolutely crazy with pain
it's on the back/bottom of my jaw only on the left side
they are incredibly painful
wtf is the deal!
tl speculative diagnosis team go!
it's happening right now i have food on a plate on my lap and i can't fucking eat it
i just tried to take a real tiny bite and it hurt so bad i had to just slack my jaw and let the food drop out of my mouth lol
|
u know the weirdest thing is that i can just act like im chewing food and it won't necessarily cramp up
but as soon as i even fucking take a tiny bit of real food it cramps up immediately
well, maybe it's passed now. *tries to eat his food*
edit: no it hasn't. i just picked up my plate of food and fucking LOOKED AT IT and my jaw started cramping
wtf is going on?? this is the weirdest shit in the world
