What are some effective workout splits for building muscle?

There are several effective workout splits, such as the push/pull/legs split, upper/lower split, and full-body workouts. Which one are you interested in?

Can you explain the push/pull/legs split?

Sure! The push/pull/legs split divides workouts into three categories: push exercises (chest, shoulders, triceps), pull exercises (back, biceps), and legs (quads, hamstrings, calves). You typically train each category once a week.

How many days a week should I train with this split?

With the push/pull/legs split, you can train 3 to 6 days a week, depending on your experience and recovery. Beginners might start with 3 days, while advanced lifters can do 6.

What are some sample exercises for each category?

For push, you can do bench press, shoulder press, and tricep dips. For pull, consider deadlifts, pull-ups, and rows. For legs, squats, lunges, and calf raises are great options.
