Ep. #1095: The Complete Guide to the Best Upper Lower Splits


Listen Later

Upper lower split routines are a go-to for many fitness enthusiasts due to their simplicity, flexibility, and effectiveness. 

By separating workouts into two types - upper-body and lower-body, these routines allow for a comprehensive, efficient training regimen.

However, these routines need to be programmed correctly, focusing on the right exercises, sets, and reps to prevent overtraining or injuries.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of upper lower split routines. You’ll learn what they are, why they're beneficial, and how they make it easy to train all muscle groups twice per week without overextending yourself.

Additionally, I’ll walk you through the best 3-, 4-, and 5-day upper lower split routines for gaining muscle and strength. 

If you’re looking to enhance your workout and see more results, this episode is a must-listen!
