Benefits of Splitting Up Your Workout Throughout the Day

[@bendodd2405]

splitting a single workout over the day is extremely beneficial when you really think about it aslong as you tax one or a few muscle groups to near failure then do the other muscle groups to near failure later in the day then you will grow your central nervous system and energy levels have time to recover after the first session so you can go at the second session just as hard where as during one long workout the last few muscles groups suffer due to fatigue and dont get as good of a workout plus you get double hormone stimulation and core work

I'm a big fan of this. I split my workout up into 2 30 min sessions e.g. chest and back on Monday. 30 mins back in AM and 30 mins chest PM works a treat.

Im able to knockout 100 pushups a day by splitting it up into 25 reps a time I get a bunch of volume

After I got a bad case of Rhabdo my nervous system was too fucked to lift too hard or too long, I'd start shaking and puking, seeing stars and shit. I started doing really small mini workouts throughout the day and eventually I got my physique better than it was before, before my nervous system even fully recovered.

Very informative. I've been thinking about doing this to split my current fullbody workout. I'm at 5 times a week now so splitting those sets per day into two 25 -30 minute workouts will be interesting. I'm looking forward to trying it out. Starting tomorrow.

Before even finding this video I searched "breaking up your workout through the day" I knew doing cardio in and around lifting is sometimes not advised or can drain your energy/glycogen stores so I've tried to split that up but now I'm to the point where I'm trying to do 45 minutes to an hour of 4-6 sets for each exercise unless it's deadlift where I normally just do 6-8 reps 3-4 sets since it's heavier and I find it very challenging to get through it especially if I do Cardio in the same session. So what I started doing was getting my 30 min - 45 min of cardio in early in the day and starting my lift directly after. I usually only do the 'easier' lifts like 3 lifts max. For example If it's Leg Day, I will do my cardio and then after 30 min I will do leg extensions/leg curls and calfs for 4-6 sets. I usually do 3 heavy sets and then 3 lighter sets for more reps in each except for calfs which I keep the same. Then later on in the day after I've rested 3-5hrs normally 4-5hrs and after my 2nd meal of the day about an hour after my meal I"ll go hit the rest of my workout which usually involves no to minimal cardio. I usually just walk for 5-7minutes just to get my heart rate up a bit and body parts moving again and blood flowing. Then I will go right into my heavier leg workouts such as squats and deadlifts, which right now consists of me doing 6 sets so to not rush through I really need the time to focus on hitting them with correct form. I find it really helpful as I"m still heavy and trying to lose weight to make sure I do ALL of my workout instead of getting tired at the end of the workout and saying Oh I"m feeling kind of sore or I feel like I've done enough or just going through the motions with bad form just to get done. In fact for someone who has weighed 350lbs and worked out alot and also weighed 175-190lbs and doing a workout I think it's very beneficial if your not an absolute complete novice lifter to do. The reason being is I"m not sure a lot of people that are in good shape including trainers have ever weighed or know what it's like for someone with that kind of weight to do the exercises asked of them. When you get lazy and your form gets poor which can easily happen when your very overweight and just trying to finish the workout you can really just rush through the workout without maximizing it or worse inure yourself. This is why I think breaking up the workout is so beneficial if you can do it. Because someone that is 300lb or more or at the end of a hour of working out will be very tired. When your breaking it up it really makes you take each lift and focus on it and not feel rushed. That's my two cents and I'm not advising it for everyone and I"m not on a training progam currently. This is something I personally have found to be beneficial.

[@frankiemarchese2978]

Whats does training with that much volume mean, 30+sets? Or the amount of time it takes?
