Choosing the right training split is about matching exercise volume with your weekly schedule. The best workout split is the one you can stick to consistently.
If you can lift 2-3 times per week, a Full Body split is your best option. It targets every major muscle group each session, maximizing training frequency.
For 4 training days, an Upper/Lower split is ideal. If you can train 5-6 times per week, a Push/Pull/Legs (PPL) split provides high volume while giving each muscle group plenty of time to recover. Select a split that fits your schedule, keep track of your progress, and stick with it for at least 8 to 12 weeks.
