When it comes to designing an upper/lower body split workout, people fail on three fronts:
- Too Many Sets Per Body Part
- Too Many Isolation Movements
- No differentiation between workouts if performed twice in a week.
Here’s an upper/lower body split that hopefully addresses those shortcomings and allows for decent muscle growth. It will probably work best if you have over 6 months training experience and are somewhere between an intermediate and advanced lifter. If you have been making steady growth gains for over 3 years and are almost at your most muscular, this routine is probably not for you. Everyone else, Have a Go At It!
