Burleigh heads personal training - An exercise split is basically what you train or which training you do on any day of the week. For instance should you train your legs on Monday, back on Wednesday and chest on Friday, that you will find an example of a training split. In the never-ending mission for enhance our training results, athletes, fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders have attempted a number of different training splits - some good, others terrible. Here are some of the most popular splits I use for athletic training, fat reduction and rehabilitation that you are greater than welcome to take or adapt on your own purposes.

Before I go further, there a few elementary rules I have that you should know before designing an exercise split.

The first is that simple things perform most optimally so don’t make it anymore complicated than necessary.

The second (and this one relates especially to athletes) is you should always train speed before strength and strength before endurance throughout the week.

The third is that the upper body can usually handle more load compared to the legs because the muscle groups aren’t as large and definately will recover quicker. This means you are able to train them more often with your training split.

The fourth rule is always that I do not to regularly pair two big compound movements in one session e.g. a bench press with a pull up. By avoiding this, it allows the trainee to concentrate more on the dominant exercise in the session. NB: Check out Bodybuiliding Split #1 to view how I have done this.

The 5th is that you want to train antagonistic muscles in your sessions 60-80% of the time e.g. in the event you train the biceps, you additionally train the triceps or maybe if you train the quads, additionally you train the hamstrings in the same session. By doing this, you get more overall work completed in the session and you will get stronger at a faster rate due to a neat nervous system function called reciprocal inhibition. However you can’t try this all the time especially if you start using the Olympic lifts and you can see how I have slightly modified the splits in Bodybuilder Split #2 and Weight-loss #3 to reflect this.

The sixth is that you simply should design your split around a 7 day cycle since this is what most people will naturally manage to fit their schedule into the easiest. I am not a big fan of shorter training splits (e.g. 5 days) because most people (even elite athletes who do not have to work) are simply preprogrammed being working on 7 day cycles.

Unlike training the splits, training splits allow you to organize your training
