Are you team full-body or team bro-split? Share your routine, results, and why you swear by it. Beginners, ask away—we’ve got you!

Team bro-split all day
Chest Mon, Back Tue, Shoulders Wed, Arms Thu, Legs Fri.
Helps me focus on weak points and really get a pump.

Full-body for me!
3x per week, compound lifts only. Love how efficient it is.
Also keeps me leaner because of frequency.

I do upper/lower split—best of both worlds.
4 days a week: Upper push/pull, Lower quad/hams. Keeps joints happier.

Full-body! Especially during cut.
I do squats, rows, presses every session. It keeps my energy high and metabolism fired up.

I started with bro-split but switched to push/pull/legs.
Volume is easy to adjust and I recover faster. Plus, glutes get extra attention

@GraceReps same! I love full-body.
Sometimes I do circuit style: 2 upper, 2 lower, 1 core each round. Super sweaty, super quick.

Powerlifting phase = full-body all day.
Now back to bro-split while bulking. Just love hammering each muscle with max sets.

For busy weeks, full-body wins.
When I’ve got time, push/pull/legs is golden.
So I bounce between both

Anyone feel bro-split is better for hypertrophy long term?
I see more growth but recovery is trickier.
