Burleigh heads personal training - A dog training split is basically what you train or which kind of training you do on virtually any day of the week. For instance should you train your legs on Monday, back on Wednesday and chest on Friday, that would be an example of a training split. In the never-ending mission to enhance our training results, athletes, fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders have tried a number of different training splits - some really good, others terrible. Here are some of the best splits I use for athletic training, weight loss and rehabilitation that you are more than welcome to take or adapt on your own purposes.



Before I go further, there a few fundamental rules I have that you should know before designing a workout split.



The first is that simple things work most effectively so don%u2019t make it anymore complicated than you need to.



The second (and this one relates especially to athletes) is basically that you should always train speed before strength and strength before endurance in the week.



The third is that the chest muscles can usually handle more load as opposed to legs because the muscle groups aren%u2019t as large and definately will recover quicker. This means you'll be able to train them more often in your training split.



The fourth rule is the fact that I do not to regularly pair two big compound movements a single session e.g. a bench press with a pull up. By avoiding this, it allows the trainee to target more on the dominant exercise inside session. NB: Check out Bodybuiliding Split #1 to see how I have done this.



Your fifth is that you want to train antagonistic muscles in your sessions 60-80% of the time e.g. should you train the biceps, you additionally train the triceps or maybe if you train the quads, you additionally train the hamstrings in the same session. By accomplishing this, you get more overall work carried out the session and you will get stronger considerably quicker due to a neat nervous system function called reciprocal inhibition. However you can%u2019t make this happen all the time especially if you start using the Olympic lifts and you may see how I have slightly modified the splits in Bodybuilder Split #2 and Weight-loss #3 to reflect this.

The sixth is that you simply should design your split around a 7 day cycle since this is what most people will naturally manage to fit their schedule in the easiest. I am not a big fan of shorter training splits (e.g. 5 days) because most people (even elite athletes who don't have to work) are simply preprogrammed to become working on 7 day cycles.





Unlike training the splits, training splits allow you to organize your training
