I mean, is a leg workout really going to interfere with an upper body workout?
no, but both those seem like they'd take a fucklong time, so it's probably so you're not at the gym for 3 and half hours

Monday: Upper body Tuesday: Lower Body Wednesday: Off Thursday: Upper Body Friday: Lower Body Weekend: Off

I think if I followed your schedule, I would be way too sore. What do you think?
