>In a 2000 study by McLester, they took experienced male weightlifters and put them on a workout plan made up of three workouts per week. Both groups used the same lifts, same total amount of sets, and same total amount of reps. The only difference was that one group had their lifts organized into full body workouts, whereas the other group did a classic triple split routine. After twelve weeks of lifting the full body group increased their muscle mass by 8%. The triple split group increased their muscle mass by 1%. >bonytobeastly.com/the-tale-of-two-ectomorphs/ >(Studies linked in article)
Brosplit BTFO

I can believe that, before I tried PPL and brosplit i was doing full body and i felt stronger
Benjamin Brown
High-frequency has always been more efficient in terms of strength, this is nothing new. The only argument brosplitters have is muh aesthetics which studies also has proven to be false. There's barely any difference in hypertrophy in the different rep ranges, but there are strength differences, so strength training should obviously be the choice since it leads to more overload on the muscle in the long run since you'll add more and more weight.
guess why people always recommend strength routines to establish a "base".

gaining 0.67% mass per week that is ~1.5 lbs per week for a 200 lbs guy
BASED researchers injecting roids to discredit a split
Jackson Brooks
SS says that you can gain 3258932285963728568732568735678325635lb of solid muscle in 2 weeks

>the entire body is made out of muscles cmon son
Evan Long
even tho his math is retarded an 8% increase in muscle mass in 12 weeks seems a bit steep for an "experienced lifter".
Aaron Stewart
yeah the link in the article is broken so its hard to tell how they define "experienced"
Caleb Rogers
If you are gonna workout for 3 days then yes brosplit is useless. The point of it is that since you use different muscles every day you can go 5-6 days non stop. Which will usually be better for hypertrophy.
Caleb Myers
Obviously 3 day split is gonna be retarded.

>Studies linked in article Link doesn't work, and the only McLester 2000 study I find is about comparing 3 workouts in a week to just one workout in a week
Joshua Green
>3 day a week non-fullbody workouts Why would anyone do this ever? Of course that wouldn't work....

>After twelve weeks of lifting the full body group increased their muscle mass by 8%
Dominic Nelson
Yeah I'm reciving pretty clear signals that McLester study about a completely different matter is all there is. But clearly the OP blogger was citing something.
Anthony Hernandez
I don't get it, am I retarded? They used the same everything, but one group did something like SS, and the other did like just pull one day, push another, and then legs? is that analogy okay?
Asher Green
Something's wrong with this study.
>8% increase >experienced lifter
Jason Long
The entire point of a brosplit is to be able to hit each part with higher volume
Jeremiah Lewis
This /thread Who the hell only works out 3 times a week
Connor Ramirez
That's what it sounds like, and if that's the case this study doesn't really say anything that isn't already really obvious.
Alexander Reyes
The volume was NOT matched
Parker Long
Yeah. I tried a 3 days/week squat/bench/DL split a few months back on the recommendation of the owner of the gym I go to. It was a shit ton of volume each day but it sucked for progression so I quite and went back to Smolov jr for bench/squat.
