➡️ SWIPE AND SAVE FOR AN EXAMPLE WEEK OF WORKOUTS

If you’re a beginner and not sure where to start, choosing 4-6 exercises per workout and splitting your body through the bellybutton is an easy way to structure your programming.

If you’re a little more advanced, using Upper/Lower splits can be further emphasised into movement patterns.
Upper Vertical - up and down pressing and pulling. Think lat pull downs and shoulder press as main compounds
Lower Vertical - Think squats, deadlifts and lunges
Upper Horizontal - traditional push and pull - Chest press and rows
Lower Horizontal - hip hinge focus - Hip thrusts and RDLs

Upper/Lower allows a manageable volume and also allows for a rolling split
If some weeks you only have time for 3 workouts, you can continue the pattern next week
Some weeks you may want to get 5 sessions in, you can go ULULU
By having a workout split that can be rolling week to week it reduces the chances of missing a body part and allows more flexibility in your schedule.

There are pros and cons to each split and figuring out which one works best for you will come down to how many days you want to workout, your experience, what you enjoy and how much time you want to spend working out.
