In Option B, your “Push” day consists of training your chest, shoulders, triceps, and calves, in that order. Your final day consists of 9 sets for legs and 6 to 9 sets for shoulders (yes, this is hard). In Option A, your first and second days consist of 9 working sets for your major muscle groups (chest and back, respectively) and 6 for your minor groups (triceps and biceps). Neither of these templates is necessarily better than the other. If you’re going to train three days per week, you have two templates to choose from. I have the book & he spells it all out for you?
