Now, of course the volumes will come down per muscle group, but if you don't like to do that and you actually don't look forward to your workout because you're dreading having to do everything and feeling maybe

too fatigued by the time your workout's over, or the fact that those generally do take a little bit longer and don't fit into your schedule, I don't care how effective the split is.

A split not done is not effective.

So you need to find one that fits.

So maybe you go into an alternative option like a push-pull legs, like you mentioned.

That could be done either one cycle through the week on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday split, or it could be twice in a week.

So you're actually training six times where you repeat it, pull, push, legs, pull, push, legs, or however you want to do it with either a day off in between the three days or at the end of the six days

And again, that actually impacts your schedule.

I've broken that down before where it's, you know, if you put it in between the three days, it's good because you're giving yourself an extra rest day in between, but it starts to shift that day off every week as we wrap around.

So for those guys that were choosing that seven day schedule out of convenience in our heads, you know, it starts to mess with that off day.

So others like to just keep it predictably, let's say on a Sunday and train six days in a row.

But that's a better way to maybe group similar muscle actions together, which I think I definitely prefer that because if I'm going to be training pulling movements, at least there's a synergy between them.

And I feel like I'm...

looking to achieve one goal that day.

Um, and then, I mean, quite honestly, you can go back to the bro split days and those still work effectively.

There's a reason why they worked in the past.

Like, I think that science shows that there's smarter ways to do them these days.

Like you can, you can come back and hit a related muscle.

So you could do, let's say biceps on one day and then come back two days later and do back realizing again, synergy between the

the exercises there, your biceps are going to get re-stimulated again.
