Training Split Factors
- Consider stimulus, atrophy, and fatigue when analyzing training splits.
- These are the primary factors influencing muscle growth and recovery.
CNS Fatigue and High-Frequency Training
- High-frequency training, whether bro-split or PPL, can hinder recovery due to CNS fatigue.
- Limit volume to mitigate fatigue and maximize muscle protein synthesis.
Exercise Placement Strategy
- Prioritize stretch position exercises later in the week, before rest days.
- Strategically position exercises to maximize recovery and minimize fatigue.
