MORE INFO:

The term is used to describe a way of dividing one’s training up across a week, specifically as it relates to weightlifting. Generally speaking, Bro Splits divide the training across major muscle groups.

The idea behind this is that you get to target each muscle group once a week and get a lot of volumes in because you then have a full week to recover before you train again. However, you end up using muscle groups more than once a week as we will discuss below.

The most common type of Bro Split is a 5-day split, breaking it across the following 5 workouts:

• Chest Day
• Back Day
• Leg Day
• Shoulder Day
• Arm Day

However, some people do a 3-day bro split either once a week or twice a week depending on the level of their training.
