The Best Training Split

HOW should you divide your body parts across the week? That's the question!

Back/Bi's

Chest/Tri's

Legs

Shoulders/Calves
Why?

1. Back & legs are your two biggest muscle groups, therefore this would attack your CNS (Central Nervous System). They also BOTH have the potential to place great stress on your lower back. So keeping them at opposite ends of the week makes sense.

2. Chest/Triceps & shoulders are both pressing workouts, therefore the shoulder joints will come under stress. You need to allow them to recover. Also consider the cross-over between chest & shoulder training and the muscle fibers within the shoulders being hit twice. By spreading these training day rather than being on "back to back" days I feel you'll get a better response.

Choosing a split which works for you, allows you to push hard, stay injury free and grow is the KEY here.
