Upper/lower split

A programme structure that separates primarily upper-body and lower-body training sessions.

Also known as: upper lower programme

A programme structure that separates primarily upper-body and lower-body training sessions.

Why Upper/lower split matters

The split can train major muscle groups more than once per week while keeping individual sessions manageable.

A practical example

Upper body on Monday and Thursday, lower body on Tuesday and Friday.

Common mistake

Choosing a four-day split when the real schedule only allows two consistent sessions.

Keep the context in mind.

Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.

Personalised coaching

Apply the principle to your own training.

A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
