![]() ![]() The first trap is that a program that is more complicated (as many splits tend to be) rather than less, will feel highly specific, which means you may feel more dependent on whoever makes it to tell you to do the “right” thing. But before I do, I want to talk about two traps in the fitness industry when it comes to splits, and they’re both about trying to get the consumer to buy workouts. Splits serve distinct training purposes and can actually feel more time-efficient, which I’ll talk more about in a sec. The idea behind splits isn’t so much about making you go to the gym more often as opposed to less. I feel pretty good about being able to use resources from you/my trainer to keep it up on my own, but I want to know: What are your thoughts on training splits? Is there a good reason to work your upper body and lower body on different days or do push/pull on different days, or whatever? Or is this just a trap to make me feel like I need to go to the gym and lift for an hour six days a week, which is something I aggressively do not want to do? Any advice is appreciated! Here's my question: I'm leaving my gym in a few months because I'm going back to school and they have a gym I can go to for FREE. ![]() Your column helped me realize that most people do not know what is best for me and that lifting is an excellent way to get stronger and feel better about yourself, so in January I got myself a trainer and am now lifting three times a week and gaining muscle mass, and it's great! First off, thank you very much for writing your column! For several years I thought I would never succeed in being fit/strong/whatever because I couldn't motivate myself to work out in the morning or multiple times a day, etc. ![]()
