I get asked this question regularly, and thought I’d break it down for us:

Full Body Workouts: These workouts target all major muscle groups in a single session, usually performed 2-3 times per week. These types of workouts are for those with limited time, and promotes balanced muscle development. But, it can be exhausting, leaving less energy for high-intensity focus on specific muscle groups.

Split Programs: These workouts divide the body into specific muscle groups, with each session focusing on one or two areas, typically spread over 4-6 days a week. These allow for greater intensity and focus on specific muscle groups, and is especially beneficial for muscle hypertrophy. Although, it does require more time commitment and a consistent schedule, which isn’t available to everyone.

So fitfam I hope this helps to clarify that neither is necessarily better; it all depends on your available time for training and personal fitness goals. Full body workouts are great for overall conditioning and time efficiency, while split programs are ideal for those aiming for muscle hypertrophy and have more time to dedicate to their training.

Find what works best for you and stay consistent!
