Training Split

"How muscle groups are distributed across the week's workouts."

Definition

The full breakdown. What it is, why it matters, how to use it.

A training split is how you divide muscle groups across training days. Popular splits include full-body (3x/week), upper/lower (4x/week), push/pull/legs (6x/week), and bro splits (one muscle per day). The best split is the one you'll do consistently and that hits each muscle 2x per week for hypertrophy.

Question 01

What's the best split for muscle growth?

Upper/lower (4 days) or push/pull/legs (6 days) both train each muscle 2x per week — the proven sweet spot for hypertrophy.

Question 02

How many days a week should I lift?

3 days minimum for progress, 4–5 days for most physique goals. More than 6 rarely helps and often hurts recovery.
