4 day Upper and Lower Body Split
Most commonly, this training split involves 4 workouts a week with each session dedicated to upper and lower-body training in alternating succession, like this:
.
• Monday: Upper Body
.
• Tuesday: Lower Body
.
• Thursday: Upper Body
.
• Friday: Lower Body
.
Pros: For most lifters, training each muscle group twice a week is much more effective than only once. Many lifters also enjoy the ability to give focused attention to a specific body region for an entire workout.
.
Cons: Twice a week may be less than optimal – especially for average to smaller guys who aren't yet in the 1200 club (300 bench, 400 squat, 500 deadlift). Overall, this is a descent split, but there may be an even better way of organizing your training for the week.
