Workout Splits - The Fondation

Importance of Workout Splits

Everyone wants to have some level of fitness; whether it’s for a sport, for aesthetics, or even to go through a fitness journey, being fit is a growing point of interest. That said, having a fit body comes with dedication, consistency, as well as general knowledge about what is needed to attain your fitness goals. Both dedication and consistency come with your attitude going into the gym, while general knowledge comes with experience, research, and a solid foundation about key aspects of weight lifting.

One of those key aspects is your workout splits. Workout splits are essentially the way you split or divide the different muscle groups you train, usually relative to a week-long time frame. Each workout split is different from one another. Choosing the right one is crucial to the development of your body.

For example, the combination of Chest, Shoulder, and Tricep muscles (Push) on one day, Back and Biceps (Pull) on the next, and Legs (Legs) on the last day, is a workout split often used by athletes. Push-Pull-Legs, or often referred to as PPL, is normally used by athletes because of the nature of the movements, and how training those specific movements together adds to athletic development, for example.

On the other hand, many other different types of workout splits can be used to match every one of your particular targets. Whether your goal is cutting fat, building muscle, maintaining body shape, or even bodybuilding, I guarantee a workout split can be created to align with your respective individual objectives.
