Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
––Arnold Schwarzenegger
​“Full body” and “body part splits” are common terms in the fitness space, used to refer to two different structures for a resistance training program.
 
In full-body training, you usually perform an exercise for each muscle or muscle group in every session.
 
Body part splits target specific muscle groups in each workout. Some of the most popular splits are:
 
  • The classic “bro split”, in which you hit one or two muscles or muscle groups per day, for example chest on Monday, back on Tuesday, legs and calves on Wednesday, shoulders and core on Thursday, and arms on Friday;
  • An upper-lower split, in which you train the upper body on one day and the lower body the next in an alternating fashion;
  • A push-pull-legs split, which distributes pushing and pulling exercises for the upper body, and exercises for the legs across three days.
 
This article will cover the rationale for full-body training and split training; pros and cons of both; and some tips on how to choose the structure that will benefit you the most.
