    Hey guys, I’ve been thinking about switching up my training split for weightlifting. Any suggestions on what might work best? I know there is much about this on the internet, but I wanted to hear some experience from here.

      Yeah, it’s always good to mix things up and keep your body guessing. What splits have you been doing lately?

          I’ve heard about those, but I’m not sure which one would be best for me. What are the benefits of each?

              Push-pull-legs is great because it allows you to hit each muscle group more frequently throughout the week. You’ll have separate days for pushing exercises (like chest, shoulders, and triceps),

                  Thanks for the advice, guys. I’m excited to switch things up and see how it goes. I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

                      Also wanted to ask – how long are you currently working out? Is it over a year? It can also be that you are already over your newbie gains and in that case it can be suddenly harder to put more musc

                      That makes sense. I like the idea of hitting each muscle group more often. I think I will give the push-pull-legs split a try for a few weeks and see how it goes.

                          Just remember don’t forget about recovery—getting enough rest and, de-load after a 6-8 weeks AND proper nutrition are key to seeing results no matter which split you choose. Maybe you already

                      I hear you. Bro splits can be effective for some, but they might not optimize muscle growth for everyone. Have you considered trying a different split, like push-pull-legs or an upper-lower split?

                        I have been doing a typical bro split, you know, hitting each muscle group once a week. But I feel like I’m not seeing the gains I want.
