    Creating the Perfect Workout Split- Part 2

    When creating the perfect workout splits, it's essential to determine the volume and intensity of your training. Aim for 3-5 sets of 6-12 reps to promote hypertrophy, or muscle growth, and adjust your rep range according to your specific goals, such as using lower reps for strength training. Additionally, allow for 60-90 seconds of rest between sets for hypertrophy, while extending rest periods to 2-3 minutes for strength-focused workouts. Incorporating both compound and isolation exercises is also crucial. Prioritize compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows, as these engage multiple muscle groups and enhance overall strength. Complement these with isolation exercises such as bicep curls, tricep extensions, and lateral raises to target specific muscles effectively. Lastly, ensure that you maintain balance among all muscle groups to prevent imbalances and injuries. A well-rounded approach could include a workout split where Day 1 focuses on Chest and Triceps, Day 2 on Back and Biceps, Day 3 on Legs, and Day 4 on Shoulders and Abs. Tune in for part three on more tips for optimizing your workout splits and achieving your fitness goals!

    Creating the Perfect Workout Split- Part 1

    For this week’s podcast episode, I discuss the first few steps to creating the perfect workout split. Creating the perfect workout split for bodybuilding can significantly enhance your results. Here are detailed tips discussed on today’s episode: 1. Understand Your Goals Muscle Gain: If your main goal is to build muscle, focus on resistance training with a mix of compound and isolation exercises. Fat Loss: If fat loss is a priority, incorporate higher-intensity workouts and consider a caloric deficit while maintaining protein intake. 2. Frequency of Training Beginner: 3-4 days a week, focusing on full-body workouts initially. Intermediate/Advanced: 4-6 days a week, allowing for splits that target specific muscle groups. 3. Choose a Split Routine Upper/Lower Split: Alternate between upper body and lower body workouts. This is effective for 4 days a week (e.g., Upper on Mon/Thurs, Lower on Tue/Fri). Push/Pull/Legs Split: Focus on push (chest, shoulders, triceps), pull (back, biceps), and legs. This can be done 5-6 days a week. Body Part Split: Target specific muscle groups on different days (e.g., chest on Monday, back on Tuesday, etc.). This allows for focused work on each muscle group.
