You want muscle. You want it fast.
Youβre consistent, motivated, and ready to commit.
π But hereβs the big question: βWhich workout split builds muscle the fastest?β
β The quick answer: Thereβs no magic split β but some are much more effective than others.
Letβs break down the most efficient training splits for muscle growth and reveal the #1 fastest option backed by science and experience.
A split is how you organize your workouts throughout the week β dividing training days by body part, movement pattern, or muscle group.
The right split helps you:
Train muscles frequently
Allow for proper recovery
Maximize volume and intensity
Prevent overtraining
If youβre serious about gains, Push-Pull-Legs (PPL) is your golden ticket.
It balances frequency, recovery, and intensity β which are the keys to fast hypertrophy.
Split Type | Muscles Trained |
---|---|
Push Day | Chest, Shoulders, Triceps |
Pull Day | Back, Biceps |
Leg Day | Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes, Calves |
This allows you to train each muscle twice a week, which is optimal for muscle growth.
π‘ Frequency + volume = faster results.
Day | Focus |
---|---|
Monday | Push |
Tuesday | Pull |
Wednesday | Legs |
Thursday | Push |
Friday | Pull |
Saturday | Legs |
Sunday | Rest |
Each muscle gets trained 2x/week β proven to increase hypertrophy
Less overlap = better recovery
You can scale volume based on goals (strength, size, tone)
Fits beginners, intermediates & advanced athletes
Flexible for busy schedules (PPL x 3 or x 6)
Alternate between upper body and lower body training. Great for beginners.
| Mon | Upper
| Tue | Lower
| Thu | Upper
| Fri | Lower
Classic bodybuilding: one muscle group per day. High volume, low frequency.
| Mon | Chest
| Tue | Back
| Wed | Legs
| Thu | Shoulders
| Fri | Arms
π‘ Slower results unless you’re an advanced lifter or using very high volume.
Perfect for beginners or busy schedules.
| Mon | Full Body
| Wed | Full Body
| Fri | Full Body
π‘ Focuses on compound lifts and progressive overload.
β Eat a high-protein diet (1.6β2.2g per kg of body weight)
β Focus on progressive overload (lift more over time)
β Get 7β9 hours of sleep
β Track your lifts and recovery
β Use compound movements like squats, deadlifts, presses
