BRO SPLIT OR PPL?

[yaboybreadcrumb]

No matter what way you go, as long as you workout, it’s better than nothing, and you will grow

[nulla]

Consistency is most important. If your consistent for months/years while working out hard and not gaining any muscle, you're either not consistent or not working hard enough.
Muscle isn't gonna say "oh, this isn't the optimal way, I'm not gonna grow now".
What I do which has proven for myself to work is doing PPL rest (so blocks of 4 days, which makes going to the gym 5-6 a week, never miss a day) and for the training itself I progressively overload. I don't do any fancy exercises, if I'm in a period where I'm really enjoying bench press, I PO in that, it doesn't make a huge difference that it isn't optimal

Thinking about going back to bro splits. Haven't done the split in 5 years. Been doing ppl or full body, ive had decent gains on the splits, but im starting to think i cant hit muscles hard enough on full body. And ppl i dont seem to crush arms which is the biggest reason i want to try bro splits again. I miss having a ruthless arm day where i feel like theyre gonna pop from the pump!

We over complicate and over rationalize way too much in the “fitness” industry I’ve done PPL, Full body, upper lower and bro splits and they’re ALL highly effective if programmed correctly. In the end the best routine is the one you can adhere to!!!

Who all believes in BRO DAY SPLIT sueprmacy🔥🔥🔥

[Jan-ielc]

I think people dont realize that the bro split gives every body part so much rest that you can just blast it without rest days because you give every part 4 recovery days and then you can fully blast them again.

Bro spilts are great if you can dedicate 5-6 days a week. If you can’t then full body, upper/lower or push-pull-legs and all the other splits. It really about what works for your lifestyle.

[gergsergser]

i think ppl is more effective for peaple who uses suppliments because they can recover faster.

[nofilter]

Keep in mind that Chris can hit 20+ sets of chest or legs etc. And recover quickly due to the…. Lower volume and more frequency with high intensity works best for natties

[TrapKingz.]

Ive always trained with the bro split, the fact of training multiple muscle groups in one session is insane to me just like Chris says plus I truly love destroying a muscle in one session it feels great and it feels like I put all my effort into that one muscle whereas otherwise I would have gave it a 70-80% effort on that session.

Bro the title is wrong! CBUM is talking about conventional sets or super sets, where is that relared with splits???

[jrwwp]

I learned that there’s truly no wrong way to do it. A good split may be slightly better, but it’s not an extreme difference at all. Just do what you like to do.

[MrObasiah]

Workout intensity matters way more than your split.

[NS-ield]

Do what works for you. Consistency is the most important thing followed by gradual gains while listening to your body. Personally I get prefer/ enjoy moving from a set of one exercises to another. Get all an round good workout and be fresh enough to do the same again the next day with a different set of exercises

[tanhuulusoy]

fine bro but we are natural, 1 time per week are not as effective as 2-3

[hernandizzle]

If your goal is bodybuilding then do a bro split. If your goal is strength then doing upper/lower twice a week (or full body workouts a few times a week) will give you faster strength results

[GDoggy-emxc]

I’m with you! I like to just do one body part per day. I have strayed away from that and you know what? I’m miserable. I think I’ll go back to it starting tomorrow.

[thechosenone]

I’ll be honest. Im going back to bro splits. I notice when I do bro splits my muscles had a much more full look. My biggest drawback doing a muscle 2x a week was that other body parts grew much faster than others and threw my proportions off. Plus doing a bro split I don’t have to hold anything back during that session. I always find with other splits my shoulders and arms get little attention. Bro splits done correctly can reap huge benefits even as a natural athlete.

[midnytevega]

Been doing a bro split for years now..often times conventional split workouts tend to allow us to over compensate while working 2 muscle groups at a time. No hate. To each their own

[jacobboeser]

no matter what split you do, consistency is what matters. Tons of people do bro splits, PPLs, full body etc., as long as you're consistent with it, you will be successful. A lot of people shy away from supersets, yet Arnold supersetted almost all of his workouts together. Do whatever it is you want to do, just be consistent with it.
