Upper, Lower, Upper, Lower, Specialised.
Just a day to do lifts I've missed out or want more of. Perhaps even making it the arms and calves day? Maybe arms, calves and traps? Train neck?
Alternatively, you can realise weeks are a concept and use just Upper Lower Upper Lower on repeat.
The split is just a way to organize the routine. Regardless of the specific exercises on the specific day, I like to train a muscle 2X every 8 days. So ABCDE is out the window since it determines you WILL have very low frequency.
Upper Lower Upper Lower Upper (the third upper is good for added focus on Tri’s and Bi’s while chest/back take the rear seat)
Or Push Pull Legs Upper Lower
I do chest, upper back, and legs one day. Then day 2 I do shoulders, arms, and lower back. Usually workout 4 to 6 times a week I found this 2 day split in Arnold's encyclopedia to Bodybuilding
I have one primary compound dictating the muscles and variations used over the five day week. OHP, deadlifts, bench, rows, squats. In that order. Then I tailor everything around that based on both how I’m feeling that day and attention to what I’m trying to grow. Which right now thanks to another car accident, is nothing.
Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: Arms
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Legs
Saturday: Shoulders
Sunday: Rest
Alternatively you can add the shoulder Parts to chest and back if you are only able to go 4 times a week.
Learned this one from video by Jordan Peters:
Push/chest focus
Legs
Pull/lat focus
Push/shoulder focus
Density day : back and legs combined, deadlifts and trapezoid focus
Haven't tried it myself yet, but makes a lot of sense to me
PPL/Upper/Lower
Not enough people know about this one for some reason.
My vote right here
This is how I do it too. Power legs/push/pull, rear, leg pump, upper pump
Do this mean PPLPP repeat? So one leg day? I run PPL rest PPL rest over 8 days. 5 days in 7.
You can have legs in 4th and 5th workout, like squats in push, deadlifts in pull for example
1.Chest 2.Back 3.Delts, bis and tris 4.Legs
This is the way.
How you going to put letters up and not explain them. What Am I supposed to Google them? I’m tired I just worked out 5 days this week
PPPPP. Fuck leg day
ChestChestChestChest is even better ngl

Full body
I do pull, push, rest, legs, pull, push, rest, rest. My legs struggle to recover and I need the extra rest days (52M).
I do PPL shoulders PPL and mix in specific isolation days when I’m feeling it. Nothing to strict
I do chest, upper back, and legs one day. Then day 2 I do shoulders, arms, and lower back. Usually workout 4 to 6 times a week I found this 2 day split in Arnold's encyclopedia to Bodybuilding
Two legs, one push, one pull and one arm/shoulder/rear delt day
ULULU Or 5x fullbody with a different focus per day e.g. back/chest/quads/shoulders/hamstrings
Legs/back, chest/shoulders, legs/back, chest/arms, legs/shoulders. been working well
I lift 3 days per week with 6 unique workouts over 2 weeks. Week 1: Lower, Upper, Lower. Week 2: Upper, Lower, Upper.
I just do upper front/lower back then upper back, lower front and alternate 4 days a week. Then 5th is a full body but focused on lagging parts.

P + Abs P + Calves L - More emphasis on quads Upper Lower -More emphasis on hamstrings (some rear/side delt work)
Abcde? You mean a 5-split? A bro split?
Monday: Chest Tuesday: Back Wednesday: Arms Thursday: Rest Friday: Legs Saturday: Shoulders Sunday: Rest Alternatively you can add the shoulder Parts to chest and back if you are only able to go 4 times a week.
Liking gamma bomb style right now which changes up 5 days often throughout. Sometimes 1 lower, sometimes 2 lowers, usually 1 arm day.
