Mastering the Art of Workout Splits: A Guide and Suggestions.

Are you the kind of person who rises with the sun or prefers to tackle workouts during the day? These days, it seems the gym is buzzing at all hours. So, how do you strategically plan your week for optimal success?

The tried-and-true method is crafting a split that balances workout days with essential rest days. Begin by identifying your gym goals—focus on strengthening areas of weakness. For instance, if you're aiming for wider lats, consider incorporating two dedicated workout sessions into your split. Similarly, if sculpting powerful legs is the objective, allocate two or three workout sessions accordingly.

Now, let's break down the process of building your split:

Step 1: Scrutinize your day-to-day life and available time.

Step 2: Assess your level of experience.

Step 3: Honestly evaluate whether your body leans towards the seasoned or youthful side. (No self-deception here; acknowledging factors like decades in Special Forces informs recovery needs and optimal gains.)

Step 4: Select the days that align with your workout preferences on your Sunday through Saturday schedule.

Step 5: Strategically choose your rest days, aiming for one to two days for smart training recovery.

Step 6: Commit to your split, sticking with the plan for a solid 4-6 weeks to witness the desired results.
