Intermediate Muscle Building

Bro Split Classic

One muscle group per day for maximum focus

The traditional bodybuilding split where each major muscle group gets its own dedicated day. While often criticized, this approach allows maximum volume and focus per muscle group. Best for intermediate to advanced lifters who can train 5 days per week.
