What is a GOOD Training Split?

I love how Serious dr Mike gets when it's about his craft no sex jokes no nothing

Dr mike looks like he balances at 45lb plate on his head all day

One of my favorite people to get knowledge from... Intelligence, critique and comedy all wrapped up in one

If you didn't shit your pants during squats, did you really try your hardest??

I thought I had bad shoulders, but like I started dumbell pressing first thing in the workout and it feels amazing.

I’m not prioritizing legs this training block so I’m ending my push workouts with hamstring work and my pull workouts with quad work. My legs aren’t being trained as intensely as a result of the fatigue, but they are at the very least at their maintenance volume

I do jackhammering/demolition on mondays, trenching on tuesdays, plumbing on Wednesday, concrete on Thursday and then framing friday and sheetrock Saturday. I always monitor my macros (nicotine, caffeine and methamphetamine). Never felt better and i look great! Stay up, kings!

Really like this response. I started a new split this week while I cut down to 185 (currently 210) that goes Chest/Back (Monday), Legs (alternating quad and glute focused, next cycle is hamstrings and lower back focused), arms and shoulders, rest and repeat. I have been loving it so far, and it’s working for me.

These quick videos have helped me get so much more out of my exercise. It’s crazy

[thoreaurug]

Anyone who comments blah blah blah keeping you big as hell for every RP video should be an astronaut because all they do is take up space.

i was literally tryna come up with a new split and thank fuck this vid came out

[tylerscott]

I saw a split once where the legs and back were the only groups of muscles in the split that had their own dedicated day, and every thing else was coupling muscles together. That makes sense just because of the sheer mass they both respectively have.

I'm currently doing a 5 x 5 training program. It is incredibly taxing and Dr. Mike is not wrong about training legs first you've got to train legs first during this program.

Chest and Back (Chest emphasis)
Shoulders and Arms (Shoulder emphasis)
Legs (Emphases on squat movements)
Back and Chest (Back emphasis)
Arms and Shoulders (Arm emphasis)
Legs (Emphases on Hinge Movements)

The first 2 exercises of the day I tend to focus more on strenght.

[Dreamer-]

I found squatting before bench has removed all the weird feelings in the shoulder that i had when just starting with bench press.

[laksithasamarakoon]

Thts exactly I am doing. Biceps and Legs. Works perfectly fine. Gd job Dr. Mike.

Well said. To add on, it’s fine to lift 3 or 4 times a week you will see noticeable gains. I don’t understand the people who lift like 5-6 days a week… your body needs time to recover between days. Unless you’re just not doing enough in those days I don’t see how 5-6 days is possible? I could be wrong but just my thoughts.

I really like splitting the upperbody by movement plane. So if you do a Push and a Pull movement then do them in either the horizontal or vertical. So OHP, do Pull Downs. Rows, do Bench. And do those on different days, because they hit all the same muscle groups, just with different intensities.

The better you understand the science, the better artist you can be. That's why Dr. Mike has some of the most creative workout combinations I've seen
