Understanding Training Splits

The effectiveness of a workout largely relies on factors beyond the type of training split used. While training splits serve as organizational tools to schedule workouts, they do not solely determine muscle growth. Key determinants include training volume, intensity, exercise choice, and recovery. Thus, individuals should focus on these elements, rather than overthinking the choice of split.
