Is the Bro Split a Myth? – Lets have an Experiment

Wana know the very easy steps to get the perfect abs, six packs and jacked muscles?

Nobody has studied as such scientifically, to get the accurate results on bodybuilding workouts that shows the advanced information and satisfactory results. So, there’s is not a single confirmation available on what can be the best possible way to work out if you are a beginner, or have fewer information about this bodybuilding thing. 

Good News!! 

Brad Schoenfeld and his team has recently carried out with a controlled experiment and got a wonderful answer to this query. The experiment continued for total 8 weeks.

In this experiment according to Mr. Schoenfeld, they adopted a total of 19 individuals with an average lifting career of four years. They were divided into two teams and were assigned to do different training protocols with same volume of workout routines.

The First group was total body training group, so they worked all muscles in the same session.

The second group was a typical split body routine, with 2 to 3 muscles worked per session.

The session continued as mentioned below:

As you can easily find, the total body routine included working out all muscle groups recurrently, but on the other hand, split body routine breaks down into chest and back, then legs, then shoulders and arms. Both of these two sessions appraised the hypertrophy in the upper and lower body muscles, but the total body group team has appreciably increased muscle mass in their biceps. Therefore it’s been concluded that the total body group had greater advantage over their routine exercise. 

This Result – “Minimum Efforts  ... Maximum Gain …”

From the experiment, this has been concluded that the splits are good to include in workout but with frequent repetition sessions in a week, to offer the maximum hypertrophy advantage and to give the most efficient working out experience to a human body.
