Bro Split
A training split dedicating one day to each muscle group, training each muscle once per week.
The bro split assigns one day per week to each muscle group: chest day, back day, leg day, shoulder day, arm day. While popular in bodybuilding culture, research suggests training muscles twice per week may be more effective for growth. However, the bro split can work well for advanced lifters with high training volumes.
Examples
- Monday: Chest, Tuesday: Back, Wednesday: Shoulders
- Each muscle trained once per week
- High volume per session, low frequency
