In today’s video, I break down the pros and cons of different training splits — bro splits, full body routines, high-frequency setups — and explain why I keep coming back to one system after all these years.
I’ll cover why some splits can work despite their flaws, where most people go wrong, and what actually matters most for your long-term progress.
There’s a lot of nuance here, and if you’ve ever wondered whether you’re training the right way for your goals, this video will give you a much clearer idea.

03:19 Bigger factors that impact your results more than the split
