for those who do training splits help

[Lafeo26]

I have a question from those of you on here who are training with splits routines
reading online you’ve got split routines from two days up to five days even in some situations
the ones that are 2-day splits are usually upper body one day and lower body the next
but a lot of splits usually are more upper body and less lower body
is there a reason that people are training their upper body more days? Is it because the lower body just doesn’t need as much training to grow?

I think part of that is that you can hit both sides of your legs doing a squat for example
assuming you are doing them with correct form

It doesn't actually mean f'all. People get obsessed with the routines vs working their butts off. If you're gaining that's all that counts

bros If you train right should be one workout per body split

a lot of times people do split routine so they can hit different muscles areas each time

you have to factor in rest time that's going to be when your muscle growth

if you're just starting out I recommend learning how to do correct form with compound lifting

you can start out with a 3-day split and just go from there
