Here’s why your split routine isn’t working…
Let’s say you decided to do something adventurous and go on an ice fishing trip. You hit up the outdoor store and buy a ton of new equipment, warm clothes, supplies, etc.
You jump on the plane and head to somewhere cold with a frozen lake. The day is finally here and you’re out on the ice starting to drill and pick away at making your fishing hole. Brutal work by the way.
You finally get to fish and have a decent first day and catch a few fish. You say to yourself, that was a lot of work for a little return.
Dissatisfied and exhausted from the work the day before, you choose to spend the rest of the week exploring the other attractions in the area.
On the last day of the trip, you decide to give fishing one more try. You grab your equipment and head back to your spot, only to notice the hole you worked so hard for is frozen completely over. You’ll have to do all that work again to be able to fish.
Heck with it, you decide to pack it in and head back to the hotel.
This is exactly what you’re doing with your split routine workout. You work hard for a small return, only to leave those muscle groups unattended for too long.
It’s very difficult to accumulate enough volume for each muscle group to see the results you’d like to see, unless you love to exhaust each muscle group, day-in and day-out, week after week.
You’d think there has to be a better, more enjoyable, and more efficient way to make positive changes, both physically and mentally.
I think there is, and there is a lot of data that shows another way is possible.
