2016Pick up any health and muscle magazine and I guarantee you’ll find a split training routine sandwiched between ads for overhyped supplements and tanning sprays. Serious bodybuilders use this training protocol to focus on and dedicate their training time to working a specific muscle group. But most importantly split training, gives you time to rest your worked muscles while working another group. 2-day split training is the shortest of various options you could deploy, yet it still give you a good 48 hour rest period before you work same muscles again.
