Work Out Frequency
People have different frequencies of working out. Some people work out every day, and some do less than that. It might seem that working out every day is always the best; however, there is a general knowledge that “rest days” are necessary for proper and effective muscle growth. This is why people who work out daily will likely want to lose weight instead of gaining muscle. However, there are some exceptions, like bodybuilders who know well about their muscles and will grow even if they work out daily using professional methods.
Split Workout
For effective muscle growth, there are different split routines. “Instead of viewing all of your workouts through a “full body” lens, workout splits target individual muscle groups or regions during different workouts, looking at things from a weekly or even monthly perspective” (Davis). People split their routines and split workout into 4 or 5 days. Although 4 or 5-day splits have similar results in growth in strength and muscle, there is an advantage in 4-day splits. They are well-balanced in intensity and recovery time. They also allow people time for other cardio exercises or guilt-free rest days. Moreover, people can focus on endurance, hypertrophy, and strength training without burnout. Many athletes benefit from this split because they can carry out their sport and the workout (“The Best 4 Day Split Workout Routines for Building Strength and Muscle”).
Differences
Beginners
Beginners can divide the workout into big groups since their small muscles aren't developed enough to do a separate exercise. Therefore, they can do a push-and-pull day where you do push work out for one day and pull in another.
Intermediates
For intermediates, they can divide the workout into chest and triceps, back and biceps, and shoulders and legs. Also, they could do chest day, back day, and arm day instead.
Advanced
Advanced people can do whatever workout they think is needed for them. Since people have different strengths and weaknesses in their bodies, and since advanced people know where their weaknesses are, they can train that spot separately. They can also work out individual muscle parts such as the upper chest middle chest lower chest, front shoulders side shoulders back shoulders, upper back lower back, and quads hamstrings calves.
