    Popular training splits

    Full-body routines train everything three times a week and suit beginners and busy people. Upper/lower splits alternate upper and lower days, usually four times per week. Push/pull/legs groups pressing, pulling and leg muscles and works well on three or six days.

    Body-part or "bro" splits give each muscle one big day per week. They can work with enough volume, but most lifters progress faster when each muscle is hit twice a week.

    Full body

    3 days, each muscle 3 times per week.

    Upper / Lower

    4 days, each muscle twice per week.

    Push / Pull / Legs

    3 or 6 days, once or twice per week.

    Muscle split FAQ

    Which split is best?

    The one you can do consistently. Research suggests training each muscle about twice a week with 10 to 20 weekly sets works well for most people, which full body, upper/lower and push/pull/legs all allow.

    What does the back-to-back warning mean?

    A muscle trained on two consecutive days gets less than 48 hours to recover. That is fine for small muscles or light work, but it is worth checking for heavy compound lifts.

    How are weekly sets calculated?

    Sessions per week for a muscle multiplied by the hard sets per muscle per session you enter.

    Can I make a custom split?

    Yes. Choose any template, then click muscle chips to add or remove them, rename days, or switch days between training and rest.

    Does the week wrap around?

    Yes. Sunday and Monday count as consecutive days for the recovery check.
