Training split templates

My goal in creating these templates is to completely take the guesswork out of designing your own training programs. That way you can use your precious energy for training instead of thinking.
Simply plug-in the appropriate exercise and you're off!


4-Day Training Splits

The following 4-day training split is, as you likely surmised, for those of you who are going to train four days per week.

Notice I didn't say "might train four days per week" or "will often train four days per week"

It's important that you decide, in advance, how many days per week you can commit to. Otherwise you're going to compromise the effectiveness of the program. So if you're thinking, "I can consistently train four or five days per week," then go with four, because it needs to be something doable week in and week out.

Note: Sure, we can design training splits that are more flexible in nature, allowing you to train on a more random schedule, but that's a topic for another article.

In Closing

I'll be the first to admit, there's nothing revolutionary in this article, but that's sort of the point – we're not trying to reinvent bodybuilding training here.

Instead, these templates are meant to be something more like elegantly simple, yet extremely effective.

With that in mind, I'd encourage you to print them out and take 'em to the gym with you. That way, you'll always have the information you need to construct a badass training program on the spot.

Enjoy!
