Gold coast personal training

Gold coast personal training - A dog training split is basically what you train or which training you do on a day of the week. For instance in the event you train your legs on Monday, back on Wednesday and chest on Friday, that would be an example of a training split. In the never-ending quest to enhance our training results, athletes, fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders have tried out a number of different training splits - some good, others terrible. Here are some of the most popular splits I use for athletic training, fat loss and rehabilitation that you are more than welcome to take or adapt for your own personel purposes.

Before I go further, there a few basic rules I have that you should know before designing a training split.

The first is that simple things perform most optimally so don’t make it anymore complicated than necessary.

The second (and this one relates especially to athletes) is basically that you should always train speed before strength and strength before endurance through the week.

The third is that the upper body can usually handle more load compared to the legs because the muscle groups aren’t as large and will recover quicker. This means you are able to train them more often in your training split.

The fourth rule is I do not to regularly pair two big compound movements in a session e.g. a the flat bench press with a pull up. By avoiding this, it allows the trainee to pay attention more on the dominant exercise inside session. NB: Check out Bodybuiliding Split #1 to view how I have done this.

The fifth is that you want to train antagonistic groups of muscles in your sessions 60-80% of the time e.g. in the event you train the biceps, you also train the triceps or maybe if you train the quads, you additionally train the hamstrings in the same session. By carrying this out, you get more overall work completed in the session and you will get stronger at a faster rate due to a neat nervous system function called reciprocal inhibition. However you can’t do this all the time especially if you start using the Olympic lifts and you may see how I have slightly modified the splits in Bodybuilder Split #2 and Weight-loss #3 to reflect this.

The sixth is that you should design your split around a 7 day cycle since this is what most people will naturally be able to fit their schedule into the easiest. I am not a big fan of shorter training splits (e.g. 5 days) because most people (even elite athletes that don't have to work) are simply preprogrammed being working on 7 day cycles.

Unlike training the splits, training splits allow you to organize your training
