Body 3-Day Split?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This split combines the traditional <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/upper-lower-split-complete-guide\/\"><strong>upper lower split<\/strong><\/a><strong> with <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/full-body-workout\/\"><strong>full-body training<\/strong><\/a><strong>. With it, you do three distinct workouts (upper, lower, and full body) each week. The split allows you to train each body part twice per week, recover well between sessions, and do enough productive sets to gain muscle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at each workout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Upper<\/strong> <strong>workout<\/strong> &#8211; train the muscles in your upper body (chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, <em>abs<\/em>, and <em>obliques<\/em>).<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Lower<\/strong> <strong>workout<\/strong> &#8211; train your legs (glutes, hamstrings, calves, <em>adductors<\/em>, and <em>abductors<\/em>).<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Full body<\/strong> <strong>workout<\/strong> &#8211; train all the major muscle groups in your body directly and indirectly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can program each workout in various ways to put more or less emphasis on specific muscles. For example, you can include more direct arm exercises on <strong>upper<\/strong> and <strong>full body workouts,<\/strong> and more quad or glute emphasis on<strong> lower and full body workouts<\/strong>. You can also focus on compound movements if you\u2019re pressed for time, or include isolation exercises if you want extra training volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll go over plenty of modifications and examples in the following two sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Sample Upper\/Lower\/Full Body 3-Day Split for Muscle Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The following is a complete upper\/lower\/full body 3-day workout split.

Exercise Selection and Order<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can modify any of the above workouts. For instance, the upper-body workout starts with a barbell bench press, but you can begin with shoulders or back instead\u2013\u2013for example, overhead presses or pull ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Bench Press (Barbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 8-10 reps&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>\u21d2<\/strong><\/td><td><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Pull Up &#8211; 3 sets, 6-15 reps<\/span><\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bent Over Row (Barbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 8-10 reps&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>\u21d2<\/strong><\/td><td><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Shoulder Press (Dumbbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps<\/span><\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Shoulder Press (Dumbbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>\u21d2<\/strong><\/td><td><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bench Press (Barbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 8-10 reps<\/span><\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Seated Cable Row &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps<\/td><td>=<\/td><td>Seated Cable Row &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lateral Raise (Dumbbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<\/td><td>=<\/td><td>Lateral Raise (Dumbbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you only replace one exercise (pull ups instead of bent-over rows) and rearrange the first three movements. This is a good option if you want to start with the upper back or improve your pull-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leg workout targets most of the lower body, but you can modify it to emphasize the posterior chain or quadriceps and train the other leg muscles during the full-body session:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Leg Press (Machine) &#8211; 3 sets, 8-10 reps&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>\u21d2<\/strong><\/td><td><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Hip Thrust (Machine) &#8211; 3 sets, 8-10 reps<\/span><\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Glute Ham Raise &#8211; 3 sets, 8-12 reps (weighted if necessary)&nbsp;<\/td><td>=<\/td><td>Glute Ham Raise &#8211; 3 sets, 8-12 reps (weighted if necessary)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Leg Extension (Machine) &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>\u21d2<\/strong><\/td><td><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Glute Kickback (Machine) &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps (per side)<\/span><\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Seated Leg Curl (Machine) &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps&nbsp;<\/td><td>=<\/td><td>Seated Leg Curl (Machine) &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Standing Calf Raise (Machine) &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps&nbsp;<\/td><td>=<\/td><td>Standing Calf Raise (Machine) &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you replace the two quadricep exercises with movements that target the glutes and hamstrings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, you can also modify the full-body workout to start with the preferred muscle group, be it the chest, back, or quadriceps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Incline Bench Press (Dumbbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps<br>Bulgarian Split Squat &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps (per leg)<br>Lat Pulldown (Cable) &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps<br>Triceps Rope Pushdown &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<br>EZ Bar Biceps Curl &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<\/td><td><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Lat Pulldown (Cable) &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps<\/em><br><\/span>Incline Bench Press (Dumbbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps<br>Bulgarian Split Squat &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps (per leg)<br>Triceps Rope Pushdown &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<br>EZ Bar Biceps Curl &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<\/td><td><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Bulgarian Split Squat &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps (per leg)<\/em><br><\/span>Incline Bench Press (Dumbbell) &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps<br>Lat Pulldown (Cable) &#8211; 3 sets, 10-12 reps<br>Triceps Rope Pushdown &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<br>EZ Bar Biceps Curl &#8211; 3 sets, 12-15 reps<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(You can rearrange the three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/compound-vs-isolation-exercises\/\">compound exercises<\/a> in any way you like.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, feel free to swap <em>any<\/em> exercises in any workout. The movements listed above work well together, but you can pick different ones if you have preferences or limitations, like not having the equipment for an exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll discuss exercise rotation and replacements more in-depth below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Load, Reps &amp; Rest Times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There isn\u2019t a magical rep range that leads to more muscle growth or fat loss. You can adjust the target ranges based on your preferences, concrete goal, and even the specific exercise you\u2019re doing.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re doing the barbell bench press during the <strong>upper body<\/strong> workout and the incline dumbbell press during the<strong> full-body <\/strong>workout. Because of the setup, the barbell press <em>typically<\/em> allows you to train with heavier weights more safely, so maybe you choose to train in the 5-8 rep range. (Of course, we always recommend asking someone to spot you when pushing close to your limits.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, since the incline dumbbell press is trickier to set up with heavier weights, you may choose to do 8-12 reps per set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for isolation movements like the bicep curl and lateral raise. You may prefer to do heavier curls, so you choose to train in the 10-12 rep range. But for lateral raises, you notice that using heavier weights leads to poor form, with your traps getting most of the tension. In that case, you may decide to use a lighter weight than usual and do higher reps, even 15-20, to better target the side delts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you have complete freedom to pick and swap exercises, consider what weights feel best for <em>you<\/em>. Rep ranges are not set in stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/features\/workout-rest-timer\/\">rest times<\/a> are closely linked to the weight and number of reps you do, it makes sense to adjust them as well. Here are some general guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Heavy sets (3-6 reps)<\/strong>: up to 5 minutes of rest<\/li><li><strong>Moderate sets (6-12 reps)<\/strong>: 2-3 minutes of rest<\/li><li><strong>Lighter sets (12-20 reps)<\/strong>: 1.5 to 2 minutes of rest<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. Workout Duration &amp; Training Volume<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The sample split\u2019s workouts consist of five exercises for three sets each. This means you\u2019re doing 15 working sets per session. With a normal tempo, average rest times, and a 5-minute warm-up at the start (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/warm-up-sets\/\">warm-up sets<\/a>), you should be able to do each workout in 50-55 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can modify the workout duration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Increase duration<\/strong> &#8211; this is a good option if you\u2019re past the beginner stage and can only make it to the gym three times per week, <em>but<\/em> can work out for 60+ minutes<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Decrease duration<\/strong> &#8211; this is useful for beginners and people who only have 30-40 minutes to train<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some options for <em>decreasing<\/em> workout duration include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Do <em>fewer<\/em> sets per exercise (say, going from 3 to 2 sets per exercise)<\/li><li>Rest slightly less between sets (say, removing 15 seconds from each rest period)<\/li><li>Remove one or two exercises (preferably isolation movements)<\/li><li>Replace exercises that are harder to set up (for example, doing a machine chest press instead of a barbell bench press)<\/li><li>Include drop sets (more suitable for intermediate or advanced lifters)<\/li><li>Pair some exercises into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/what-are-supersets\/\">supersets<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Do fewer sets per exercise<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Removing one or two exercises<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Pairing some exercises into supersets<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bench Press (Barbell) &#8211;

As you experiment and learn what works, you\u2019ll get better at programming and will find it easier to put all the puzzle pieces in the right spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Rotating Exercises on This (Any Any Other) Split<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rotating exercises every so often is a good way to keep your workouts more engaging, reduce the risk of overuse injuries, and potentially grow better in the long run by keeping yourself from becoming fully adapted to a given workout stimulus.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing exercises or variations can also help you <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC7579505\/\">target different regions of the same muscle<\/a>, leading to more balanced development, and give you more experience with a variety of movements, which can help you truly understand which activities work best for you, and which don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>That said<\/em>, there\u2019s a right way to go about it, and it\u2019s not by changing exercises every couple of weeks. While that approach can keep your workouts feeling fresher, it can also create some issues that outweigh any potential benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>It disrupts momentum.<\/strong> When you do the same exercise for multiple weeks in a row, you get better at it and learn to judge your effort more effectively. This means you train with better form, get closer to failure safely, and can make steady progress.<br><br>However, by swapping movements often, you\u2019re always in this \u201cfeeling out and learning\u201d phase where you\u2019re still trying to figure out how to do the exercise, how to push hard enough <em>safely<\/em>, and how much weight to use.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>It makes progress tracking harder.<\/strong> The more workout details you can standardize, including the specific exercise and variation you\u2019re doing, the easier it is to notice and log progress.<br><br>For example, if you always squat in the same rack, with the same bar position, to the same depth, and with the same rep speed, any performance improvements (be it lifting more weight or doing more reps) are clear and undeniable.<br><br>However, when you constantly change workout details, such as by changing exercises, it\u2019s hard to compare and tell if you\u2019re actually improving in the long run.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated by Kassino and colleagues in <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/nsca-jscr\/fulltext\/2022\/06000\/does_varying_resistance_exercises_promote_superior.40.aspx\">a 2022 paper<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c&#8230;exercise variation should be approached systematically with a focus on applied anatomical and biomechanical constructs; on the contrary, employing different exercises that provide a redundant stimulus, <\/em><strong><em>as well as excessive rotation of different exercises (i.e., high frequency of change), may actually hinder muscular adaptations.<\/em><\/strong><em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes sense to rotate exercises, but you should do so after at least six weeks.

Push Hard on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Every<\/span> Set<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pushing near failure on each set is essential for creating the disruption needed to <\/strong><strong><em>force<\/em><\/strong><strong> growth and strength gains. The problem is that we are bad at estimating the effort we put into each set and often overestimate our rate of perceived exertion (RPE). Multiple studies show that, including <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5712461\/\"><strong>Steele et al. (2017)<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6162783\/\"><strong>Crawford et al. (2018)<\/strong><\/a><strong>, and <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/journals\/psychology\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyg.2020.565416\/full\"><strong>Armes et al. (2020)<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c&#8230;perceptions of effort during resistance training task performance may not be congruent with the actual effort required. This has implications for controlling, programming, and manipulating the actual effort in resistance training and potentially on the magnitude of desired adaptations such as improvements in muscular hypertrophy and strength.\u201d<\/em> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/journals\/psychology\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyg.2020.565416\/full\">Armes et al. 2020<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn\u2019t a trick to fix this; it comes down to pushing yourself hard on each set and logging your RPE. With Hevy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/features\/how-to-calculate-rpe\/\">you can log RPE<\/a> on each set and easily track your effort when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/features\/gym-performance\/\">reviewing your performance<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hevyapp.app.link\/XR3T6DDlNQb\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-6492-6493-6494-1024x660.png\" alt=\"overview of the ability to input RPE values for all sets at the start of a workout in Hevy to serve as a reminder\" class=\"wp-image-12743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-6492-6493-6494-1024x660.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-6492-6493-6494-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-6492-6493-6494-768x495.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-6492-6493-6494.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can do the occasional AMRAP (as many reps as possible) set to see how many reps you can actually do and if your RPE tracking is accurate. It\u2019s best to do AMRAPs with a spotter or on machines with safety latches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, research shows that RPE accuracy improves as we approach failure, which ties into the main idea of this section: <em>you need to push hard on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">every<\/span> set.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to hit failure on each set (that would actually be counterproductive), but you should feel like you\u2019ve worked hard: out of breath, red face, and feeling tension or a deep burn in the muscles you just trained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Rest Long Enough Between Sets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A while back, while coaching a client through a workout, he asked me why I had him rest for two minutes between sets if he felt \u201cready\u201d to go after just 45-60 seconds. Maybe you\u2019re wondering the same thing, so let me explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The purpose of resting between sets is to recover so you can match your performance <\/strong><strong><em>while<\/em><\/strong><strong> training close to failure. This allows you to do enough quality, stimulative reps with good form and create the stimulus needed to promote muscle and strength gain (or, when in a calorie deficit, to maintain muscle).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research also finds a strong correlation between longer rest periods and better <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/nsca-jscr\/fulltext\/2016\/07000\/longer_interset_rest_periods_enhance_muscle.3.aspx\">muscle<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.2165\/11315230-000000000-00000\">strength development<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, if you can get 8 good reps with a given weight on set one, you should get close to that number on the last set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of that comes from pushing <em>hard<\/em> but not to failure, since <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00421-017-3725-7\">that generates a lot of fatigue and is hard to recover from<\/a>. Also, it means you need to rest long enough between sets. You may feel <em>ready<\/em> to go after one minute because you\u2019re not out of breath, but there\u2019s more to recovery than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the weights you use will determine how many reps you can do per set and how long you should rest. Here are the guidelines again, in case you missed them above:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Heavy sets (3-6 reps)<\/strong>: up to 5 minutes of rest<\/li><li><strong>Moderate sets (6-12 reps)<\/strong>: 2-3 minutes of rest<\/li><li><strong>Lighter sets (12-20 reps)<\/strong>: 1.5 to 2 minutes of rest<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. Aim for Steady Improvements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Progressive tension overload is the ultimate goal because it means your body is adapting and can handle more training stress over time. If you\u2019re lifting 145 lbs for 8 reps today, you should ideally be lifting more weight for <\/strong><strong><em>more<\/em><\/strong><strong> reps months down the line.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who do the same training month after month can only hope to maintain what they have, not make further progress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the first tip was to push hard on every set. The second tip was to rest long enough between sets so that you can perform at your best. As long as you do these two things, and handle recovery well outside the gym (good nutrition, hydration, and sleep), you should see steady performance improvements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, improving performance should go hand in hand with proper form. As mentioned above, standardizing as many things about your training as possible makes it easier to notice improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, if you lift more weight or do more reps but your technique worsens, are you actually making progress, or are you just using <a href=\"https:\/\/prehabexercises.com\/compensation-patterns\/\">compensatory motor patterns<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Track your Progress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Log your workouts and regularly review your performance to eliminate guesswork and ensure you\u2019re on the right track. You can use a basic notebook, a note-taking app, or a workout-logger like <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hevyapp.app.link\/XR3T6DDlNQb\"><strong>Hevy<\/strong><\/a><strong>, with all the tracking features you need.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Hevy, you can log training sessions with all the relevant details, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Exercises (with custom notes if needed)<\/li><li>Sets per exercise<\/li><li>The type of each set (normal, warm-up, to failure, or drop set)<\/li><li>The weight, reps, and RPE for each set<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can save workout plans as routines (reusable templates) in folders to access anytime, and easily log workouts, track rest times with an automatic timer, and more. The in-depth analytics section lets you monitor your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/how-many-sets\/\">sets per muscle<\/a>, your performance compared to friends, your progress on individual lifts, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hevyapp.app.link\/XR3T6DDlNQb\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/upper-lower-full-body-hevy-img-1024x660.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/upper-lower-full-body-hevy-img-1024x660.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/upper-lower-full-body-hevy-img-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/upper-lower-full-body-hevy-img-768x495.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/upper-lower-full-body-hevy-img.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Are the Benefits of a 3-Day Upper\/Lower\/Full Body Split?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. You Can Train Each Muscle Twice Per Week<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite training only 3 times a week, each workout targets multiple muscle groups, making it easy to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s40279-016-0543-8\">the recommended<\/a> training frequency of 2x\/week for each body part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. You Get Plenty of Recovery Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Four off days per week give you plenty of time to recover, even between high-volume workouts. This means you can go into each workout feeling fresher and more motivated to work hard and create an overload to support muscle and strength gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. It\u2019s Flexible for Busy Individuals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Working out three times per week means you get four recovery days, which gives you plenty of room to maneuver when needed. For instance, you may want to train on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but might need to pick other days, even back-to-back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, higher-frequency splits, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/bro-split-workout-program-guide\/\">bro split<\/a>, are far more rigid because you don\u2019t have that same freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Good for Losing Fat <em>and<\/em> Building Muscle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This upper\/lower\/full-body split provides a good amount of direct training stimulus to the upper and lower body. So long as you push hard on each set and create an overload, you <em>will<\/em> build muscle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, having three challenging workouts helps you maintain muscle and lose body fat without overtraining yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><em>1. Is upper\/lower or push\/pull\/legs better?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both splits are good and can work. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/upper-lower-split-complete-guide\/\">upper\/lower split<\/a> is typically better if you want to train two or four times per week, whereas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/push-pull-legs-ultimate-guide\/\">push\/pull\/legs<\/a> works well on a 3- and 6-day frequency. The upper\/lower\/full-body split is ideal if you want to train each muscle twice per week and work out 3 days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><em>2. Is upper\/lower\/full body good for a beginner?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/workout-splits\/\">split<\/a> is suitable for beginners because you only need to work out three times a week, which is sustainable. It also allows you to hit each muscle twice per week, train the entire lower body, gain muscle size, and lose fat. You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/full-body-workout-vs-split\/\">learn about full body versus splits<\/a>, and what to choose for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><em>3. How do I fit arms and abs in an upper\/lower\/full body split?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most straightforward way is to include some direct ab, bicep, and tricep exercises into the three workouts. For example, you can do ab work along with lower body exercises and arms on a full-body and upper day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><em>4. What about cardio or sports?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend doing cardio and sports on days <em>off<\/em> from the gym to minimize <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s40279-020-01421-6\">the interference effect<\/a>. If that\u2019s not an option, do cardio\/sports at least a few hours before or after gym training, or <em>after<\/em> you lift weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><em>5. What other 3-day splits can I do?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Other 3-day split options include push\/pull\/legs, upper\/lower\/upper, and full-body. You can also try <em>alternating<\/em> upper\/lower, where you do two upper and one lower workouts one week, and two lower and one upper workouts on week two. Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/3-day-split-workout-complete-guide\/\">ultimate guide on the 3-day split<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3-day upper\/lower\/full-body split is a less common programming approach that works well for beginners and intermediates. It\u2019s ideal for busy people who crave flexibility, it is enough to maintain muscle during fat loss, and it helps you build muscle mass and strength while bulking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, this is a lower-volume approach compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/4-day-workout-split-complete-guide\/\">4-<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/5-day-split-workout-complete-guide\/\">5-<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/6-day-split-workout-complete-guide\/\">6-day splits<\/a>. You need to push hard on each set, create an overload, and track your workouts diligently to make sure you\u2019re moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hevyapp.app.link\/XR3T6DDlNQb\">Download Hevy<\/a> and log your first workout today.
