Know Your Workout Splits
Hey folks! Today, we are going to break down the different types of workout splits. These are the ways in which you plan out your week of exercise. Let’s dive right in!
Full-Body Workout Splits
A full-body workout split involves targeting all of your major muscle groups every time you hit the gym. It’s like painting an entire canvas every day – you cover everything! This method is great for beginners or those short on time.
Upper / Lower Splits
Next up, upper/lower splits. This means one day you focus only on upper-body strength, and the next day is all about your lower body. It allows for more concentrated effort and extra recovery time.
Push / Pull Splits
In push/pull splits, ‘push’ exercises involve you pushing away from your body (think bench presses or squats), while ‘pull’ exercises involve pulling towards your body (like rows or curls). Alternate between these movements to hit all areas of fitness.
Bro Splits
Lastly, let’s talk about ‘bro splits’. An example of a bro split might set Monday as ‘Chest Day’, Tuesday as ‘Back Day’ and so on. Each day is devoted to one specific muscle group.
That’s a quick and easy rundown of different workout splits. Remember, everyone is different and what works for one person might not work for another. Figure out what you like, what your goals are, and work from there. And as always, consistency is key!
