Are you natural?
Do you do it to make gains or just keep in shape?
Nature! 
As a natural lifter myself i find splits to be less benificial than just doing full body everytime.
You drop out whatever area is maxed out and aching each day, you train by feeling rather than train by program.
Programs work for some but there is alwaytimes when a program will hit you with a excerise when you body is already totaled and you get little benefit from it.
I do the full body method and make gains every week.
I used to do it so that I throw 7 days concept out of window and did something after one or two days rest periods and never thought more about concept of 7 days week. But I look any program online and theyre like monday, tuesday, wednsday, thursday⌠and thats great but unnessecary if can just listen own body and think that if today I go do bench and squat i need 2 days to rest and then run and after run i can have 1 day rest and go do chin ups and rows. Then theres the weight training programs if one wants to start hifi with it but that can also be just thought with sense and by listen own body and progress without have anything on paper or schedule. I was happy for my progress for 20 years without follow any program, I was too lazy to make one too.
It depends how fast you want changes.
If you want to put the muscle on quickly persistence i found is key.
I do personally 4 days in a row, then rest 4 days while working.
Sometimes i throw in a 5th day on my third day of work just to keep the pump flowing.
If you deflate the pump i found you get less benefit from the first returning workout.
Its about maintaining the pump which also recovering.
Recovery and eating would be most important and hardest I think, easyest is just train especially if like it 
Yea i eat pretty health but i could eat better still.
The downside to being a natural lifter is if you lose that pump you look like you dont lift lol.
If you been training consustently for over a year though, soon as you got that pump you look like your about to compete in mr.olympia.
When i was resting i genuinely had people come up to asking if i was alright because they thought i was ill as it looked like i suddenly dropped alot of mass.
But truth was i just lost the pump.
Idk, it would be easy for me to say to try think of it less when have stopped care self but when one does train regularly then obviously it matters to them. Training is as much hobby as anything and important to them. It is true but could think of strength progress and care less of how look outside to others. Some olympic lifters are pretty light and they lift incredible amounts of weight. Some 70kg dude lifts 200kg on barbell from ground to his chest which then pushes into air from squat is impressive no matter what the guy looks walking in stores, they dont look big but they are strong 
Iâve been doing muscle building lifting my tv remote up and down while watching netflx.

Gotta switch arms occasionally, I get abs workout when I have to get up and go click space from pc when netflix gives that âyou have been watching too long, are you still watching, do you still want to proceed watchingâ

That makes sense, thank you.
Iâm guessing x-rays wouldnât show anything - perhaps a scan?
And 12 weeks before you see a doctor? That seems a very long time when you could inadvertently do something that makes it worse âŚ
You should also contact her (or her secretary or whatever) again and ask for the exercises.

Takes 3 weeks just to get a phonecall with a doctor here.
So many eldery people and people claiming benefits which arent ill clogging up the system.
Or elderly people going to the docs with a cold.
As for a scan i wouldnt know if it would help purhaps if its tendon damage.
But a doctor would know better in that case.
There is a injection they can give me too which relaxes the muscles of the affected area if it is a trapped nerve but a basic physio generally isnt trained to administer them
Was in a crazy amount of pain last night.
It seems to be at its worse after working for 12 hours.
I can go to the gym 3 hours a day train heavy and come out feeling relatively fine.
But i go to work for 1 12 hour day and its unbearable pain untill i sleep it off.
If it persists for say 2 more months i may look into reducing my work hours to 8 hours a day temporarily.
I would do that now but its the summer months so all the management arent at work they are on their yatchs spending their bonuses.
In other news today marks 1 year since i was exiled from my old department and moved to my current one.
Management last thing they said to me " we wont forget you"
Here i am 1 year later and largely forgotton lol.
When have prolonged or chronic pain sayings like no pain no gain start sound kinda silly
Met the devil at the crossroads on the way to work today.
Someguy was just standing in the middle of a roundabout 3am in the morning just walking in circles.
He approached me as i walked past and i calmly(not so calmly) kindly(pretty aggressively) told him to remove himself from my presence. He was very obviously under the effects of heavy substance abuse.
Last thing you want at 3am is to be approached my a dodgy lookin geezer.
When no one else is about.
âDude where is my car?â
Best say something that youre late for work, everyone kinda respect that
Thatâs not very fair ⌠I come under the elderly category and hardly ever see my doctor. (I do see hospital specialists a lot for an on-going illness, but thatâs not the same). The last contact with my doctor was when he phoned me to see how I was as he hadnât seen me for a long time which I found very odd indeed. Also they screen calls at my surgery so you wouldnât get to see a doctor unless it was necessary.
I donât know what injection youâre being offered, but I would persevere and get an appointment.
