What is a bro split?
It's your typical routine that you see in magazines and that most guys in gym follow. Example
monday:chest
Tuesday: back
Etc etc essentially training each body part once a week.
Why is this bad?
Because by only training once a week you are drastically limiting growth potential and may even be losing size. Research shows muscles grow for 2 to 3 days after training. For smaller muscles like front and rear delts, biceps, forearms, this is even worse as these muscles can be trained up to 4 times a week.
The classic once a week bro split is just plain not optimal.
So what should you be doing?
We don't wanna increase volume. What you should do instead is break your current volume up into 2 separate workouts.
I hope some of you find this helpful. Proper frequency is absolutely key.
