Why do people shit on bro-splits but at the same time praise

>>42458169
Oh shit nigger I do the bro split 3 days, is this not good for newbie gains?

People say PPL or Upper/Lower is superior to bro-splits for nattys but I dont really see why.

Its better to hit all your muscles groups twice a week though so you should go 6 days a week or change routine

>>42458169
I thought they were similar but from what I've heard a bro split is one muscle group a day where ppl is at least two.

You should do full body 3-6 times per week instead, superior volume and probably shorter and/or fewer sessions.

Yeah I'm going ABCABCx basically.

>>42458169
I'm doing PPL and I thought exactly the same, it's essentally a bro-split
>Please tell me how PPL is supposedly the superior routine atm when its basically a glorified bro-split
Bro-splits work.

Full body means longer sessions and less energy for individual lifts.

Better to go 6x a week and get through each day's allotment fresh.

Bro-split
>5 days
>1 x frequency for all muscles

PPL
>6 days
>2 x frequency for all muscles


You add 1 day and gain 2 times the frequency, how is that not a solid deal?

I go Monday through to Saturday.

>inb4 ; but you'll burn out and quit lifting if you go 6 days!

I just hit my 6th year lifting and I'm currently running PPL 6 days a week and I'm doing just fine, in-fact my motivation for lifting hasn't been this high in awhile.

>>42458169
what you just said isnt a bro split
bro split is
>chest
>shoulders
>arms
>back
>legs
and then weekends off because its for dudebros who party on the weekend

>>42458353
I've noticed the dude bro's have started doing Legs on Monday's now. I guess to get the boring day done for the week first, so they enjoy the rest of the week.

I dont know about you but most bro-splits that I know of people have been doing since forever is 3 days 2 muscle groups. But yeah compared to 1 muscle group a day its definitely better

The early morning crew at my gym lift legs early in the morning.
They are competitive bodybuilders though.

>>42458244
The best way to gain muscle as a natty is to hit your muscles every 48h, so either your train full body 3 times a week or you do a 2-day split and hit the gym 6 times a week

I dont get how people are supposedly doing a full-body workout.

There is no way in hell you can do the most important lifts for each group (squats, deadlifts, ohp, bench, pullups, rows) on 1 day

>>42458516
I did full (upper) body workouts for a while, and said fuck legs.

Bench/OHP/Rows/Chins + shitload of accessories.

It was actually pretty fun, but it took almost two hours.

I agree adding in squats and deads seems unrealistic.

>>42458516
I have two different workouts, but what I basically do is 2 presses and 2 pulls, squat, a hamstrings and lower back exercise, arms, abs. It takes about 1h and 40 minutes to complete, I take some slowly digested carb powder before going to the gym and a caffeine pills with some other carb powder 25 minutes after the start of my workout. It's the most efficient way to train if your goal is hypertrophy. The alternative would be hitting the gym 6 times a week but that would waste too much time.
