Split system training is a workout system that involves only a small subset of your muscles during each workout and not work all of the muscles during a single workout.
Typically a lifter will work two or three major body parts during a single workout session.
The human body is made up of over six hundred individual muscles.
The muscles can be grouped into eight main muscle groups.
The simple split system training involves working one muscle group from the lower body and one from the upper body.
The major muscle groups are: back, shoulders, chest, forearms, arms, thighs, waist and calves.
Rest and Recovery When you are involved in a strenuous weight lifting regimen, its is important give your body time to rest and recovery.
You should give your body 8 hours of rest every night.
You should also make sure that you don't over exhaust your self with other physical activities and sports.
When to Train Some people wake in the morning full of energy and others don't hit their stride until later in the day.
You probably know what type of person you are and should focus on working out during the time of day when you will have the most energy and intensity.
I've always enjoyed working out first thing in the morning.
It's a great feeling knowing that you've already completed your workout and can focus the rest of your day on other priorities.
You can also get results by training in the even, just make sure you are achieving your maximum potential from yourself.
