What is the BEST Training Split?

what is the best training split this is the question that I get asked literally every single day and I don't blame you for asking because you hear so many people say stuff like oh no don't do this split oh you want to do this split well say goodbye to making gains but I'm here today to set the record straight so that you can choose the type of chaining split that will give you the best results and that you will also enjoy what is absolutely essential for you to know is that there is no perfect split

or one best split that is just nonsense it can feel like the best split for for you and that's what we are trying to find but this will never be the same for all people each split has its pros and cons that you need to consider that's what it all comes down to you can imagine it like this every individual has a certain amount of blocks that they can use to build their routine these blocks represent all the important parts of your routine like your exercise selection distribution of the rest days and overall volume and

frequency it basically all boils down to if you are hitting each body part from all the necessary angles and that you are training each body part twice per week these are the things that matter the most if you have all of these blocks at your disposal it's up to you what you want to build with them one person might want to build a square and the other one wants to build a triangle does this mean that one person is wrong no of course it doesn't everyone can build whatever fits them the best and the result

will always be good because both of them use the blocks that contain the fundamentals so let's go over all the popular types of training splits to see their strengths but also their weaknesses first split that we will go over is the push pull like split the reason reason why the bush pull xplit is great is because it allows you to focus on just one type of movement pattern in each workout so that you are either only pushing only pulling or only training legs this type of Assortment will give each body part enough time to recover

between workouts Push Pull legs is also really time efficient because we are focusing on just a relatively small group of exercises in each workout where the push pull X spit shines the most is in a six days per week schedule because you can fit two cycles of push pxs into one week together with one rest day either in the middle or at the end of the week which makes it a brilliant choice if you want to train six times per week Push Pull XS will also work in a setup with less than six days per

week but it requires some additional customization like I have done in my trading plans which you can get at bodybuilding simplify outcom incredible I know but now we need to take a look at the cons of the pushpull X split because each training split has its cons while I was saying that Push Pull X is great for six workouts per week schedule it's also the reason why you might end up struggling with it because if you are someone who is not ready to take up this many workouts you might end up just burning out and

plateauing so it's very much a double-edged sword now let's talk about the full body split hands down the biggest Pro of the full body split is the amount of flexibility that you get because you are always training your whole body so it's super easy to move your workout days around without having to worry about any overl issues the full body split is also the best training split if you want to train just twice per week because as I mentioned at the start one of the fundamental is that you should train each body part twice per

week and because you are training your whole body you can get away with going to the gym literally just two times per week which is appealing to a lot of people who are short on time but still want to get their workout done the only problem with this is that those workouts will take a long time to complete which makes sense when you realize that you are packing the whole week into just a couple of workouts but if you do full body for example five times per week the workouts will not be as long as

if you did only two or three workouts per week what also might be offputting to some people is the lack of specificity because you can really focus on a certain body part because you are just doing everything at once every time but every problem has its solution what I do in my training plans for example is play around with the order of the exercises meaning that some days might be starting with chest and the other one with shoulders and so on because as you might already suspect when you are fresh at the start of the

workout you will be able to perform way better and also focus on the muscle that you are working way more than if you did it last in the workout which combats the problem with lack of specificity in the full body training split at least a little bit and finally let's take a look at the upper lower training split the upper lower training split shines in its Simplicity you just read the name of the split and you already know what's about to go down it's a great fit if you are looking to work out four times

per week as you can easily do two upper body sessions and two lower body sessions per week does hitting every single body part two times per week but the biggest issue with the upper lower training split is that the upper days can take a long time in contrast to the lower body days and that's that's because there is way more body parts on the upper half of your body than on the lower half so it creates this time imbalance but when you think about it more the shortness of the lower days kind of makes up

for how long the upper days are so when it's all said and done it will not be that big of an issue next we have the Arnold split the biggest Pro of the arold split in my opinion is that you don't have to train your chest and shoulders on the same day which will increase your performance for each one of those body parts in their respective days the kind of this split is that it's almost a must to go to the gym six times per week otherwise you will not be able to hit each body

part twice per week which makes it dysfunctional this could be rectified by just cutting one of the leg days and making it into a 5-day split or just cutting both of the leg days all together and making it into a 4-day split but then you got to live with that chicken aesthetic and you probably don't want that and lastly we have the classic bro split which was a very popular split in the past but over time we realize that we can do much better as you can probably guess when using the Bro split you are

hitting each body just once per week which is the biggest issue of the Bro split however what is great about the Bro split is how much you can focus on a single body part in each workout imagine coming to the gym just to smash your biceps that sounds amazing right and it kind of is too bad the whole split isn't you could modify the Bro split to make it into a usable split but when you start doing that it's basically not a bro split anymore so I'm sorry to say but this is the only training

split that I would just not recommend and that's it I hope this helps you decide what type of ch training split you want to do just keep in mind that no matter which training split you choose as long as you take the fundamentals into account the results will come maybe except the Bro split so go with the training split that fits your schedule the best that fits your style of training and most importantly the one that you will enjoy the most and that you will be able to stick to
