What is a Split Program?

A split program or split routine is a popular weight training format with intelligently designed workouts that each focus on a body part or certain muscle groups. It is designed so that you can work out for several consecutive days without taxing the same muscle (prime movers) groups again.

What are the Benefits of Split Training?

With a good split program, there is less chance of overtraining than with repeating full-body workouts. With this program your strength will improve, as well as your overall health, posture, and protection against injury.

The program consists of at least 4 strength workouts that are repeated for 12 weeks as a repeating cycle, with the objective of progressive strength. The 12 weeks are 3 at 70 to 80% of 1RM, 1 heavier, 3 at 70 to 80%, 2 heavier, 1 deload, 1 set new 1RM, and 1 rest. The workout cycle can be repeated as long as you’re making progress.

Day 1 of the 4-Day Split

Prometheus Phase II, a 4-day or 6-day split strength workout with optional cardio days. The program is a hybrid of strength and hypertrophy that cycles for 12 weeks. The objective of strength is to increase your 1RM. The objective of hypertrophy is to increase your muscle mass. The program trains each muscle group only once a week in the first split, and twice a week in the second split. The reps are a hybrid between strength and hypertrophy range and mixed up with 1RM.

All exercises for this day are listed further below under Split Workout Exercises.

Day 2 of the 4-Day Split

Prometheus Phase II is a hybrid program because it focuses on control, TUT (time under tension), isometrics, stability, and more. You can stick with the strength and hypertrophy focus or decide to add cardio days for leaner muscle mass. Each strength session can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours due to the focus on control, TUT, isometrics, and active recovery or rest between sets or rounds. How much time you invest will depend on the weight you have access to and how much time you can or want to spend on a workout.

All exercises for this day are listed further below under Split Workout Exercises.

Day 3 of the 4-Day Split

Prometheus Phase II is a kettlebell split program that focuses on 8 reps and 2 to 4 rounds with adaptation, shock, and 1 rep max weeks. But, let me tell you a secret. If you lift heavy weight, no matter the reps and rounds, you will get strong and bigger. Even if you work on endurance with weights you will get stronger and bigger, depending on where you start and how you program, of course. However, this program does not focus on endurance, unless you decide to include the optional cardio days in your program, and its main focus is to increase strength and muscle mass.
