split routine

Segmented training schedule

A split routine is a workout plan that divides training by muscle group or body region across different days rather than working the whole body each session.

Common splits include upper/lower, push/pull, or dedicating separate days to chest, back, legs, and arms: I'm on a four-day split routine.

The approach allows more volume per muscle group while providing recovery time between sessions.
