The Bro Split Other Routines

• Bro Split vs PPL (Push Pull Legs)
• Opposite to the bro split, PPL concentrates on
  the actual movement of the lift you perform and
  not as much on the particular muscles. For
  instance, during a chest press, you push the
  weight away from you while working your triceps,
  deltoids, and chest. These are the push muscles,
  and they get activated in exercises, including
  pushing something away from the body. And the
  same goes for pull muscles like the biceps and
  the back when you pull something closer to your
  body, such as pull-ups.

• When it comes to deciding which one is good for
  you, it depends on your fitness goals and your
  body type. Bro split is perfect for you if you
  like the concept behind it and want something to
  motivate you to go to the gym and get moving 5
  days a week. However, if you are concerned with
  gaining muscle and not about the process to get
  to that goal, then PPL is for you.

Bro Split vs Full Body

• A full-body split trains every single muscle
  group of your body in each workout. Your schedule
  may involve full body split workout 3 days a
  week, with the weekends being off.
• But are full-body splits better than the bro
  split? There isnt any research classifying it as
  superior.

12
Bro Split vs Upper Lower

• Many people like the upper/lower split because it
  trains each muscle group twice and 4 days a week.
  But there are some problems with it
• Programming Designing an effective upper/lower
  routine is exhausting because you need to be very
  careful when choosing exercises. Some exercises
  can fatigue your other muscle groups which might
  suffer when you do a session on them.

13

• Volume Allocation Having 2 upper, and 2 lower
  workouts, is good, but most people find it
  challenging. The reason being that their lower
  body session is shorter, and low in volume as
  compared to their upper body workouts which are
  challenging and incredibly long. This is because
  there are more muscle groups in the upper body
  than the lower half.

14

• Priority on an Upper Lower Split You are
  required, to do trade-offs for upper body each
  week because you have to prioritize a specific
  muscle group and work the rest in an exhausted
  condition. So, you get 2 upper body sessions, and
  you have to choose between beginning with the
  back, shoulders, or chest.

15

• However, with a bro split, you get one day for
  each muscle group. This way, you can focus on one
  group without doing a trade-off.
