Strength Training

5 day training splits are a great progression from a training program that groups muscles together for a couple of days per week, like a total body workout for example, beacuse you are able to add more exercises or sets to a muscle group which will lead to greater hypertrophy. The workouts in a 5 day training split are usually more intense per muscle area while providing maximum recovery before having to hit the same muscles again.

4 day training splits are a great progression from a 3 day training split. The muscles are still grouped together, however now you have the option to group different muscles together or have your arm workouts on a designated day, which is the most common practice.

3 day push pull leg workouts are fantastic for building volume within a workout while allowing ample recovery time between sessions. Training only 3 days per week gives you greater options on when you want to train without the stress of having to make up missed days like on a 5 or 6 day per week program. Utilising machines only can help you learn proper technique patterns and build muscle endurance without your stabiliser muscle being the limiting factor.

3 day push pull leg workouts are fantastic for building muscle foundations without over fatiguing a muscle group within a workout as there are fewer exercises per body part and allowing ample recovery time between session limits systemic fatigue. Training only 3 days per week gives you greater options on when you want to train and starting out on this program is ideal for people who are pushed for time and are looking to build muscle and strength more efficiently.
