Hi guys any takes on the ongoing social media debate on optimal split?

Have through the years used
Chest, triceps
Back
Shoulder biceps
Legs and calves

My self with good results.

People theese days debate ppl, upper lower etc.

What do you use?

An optimal split is different for everyone and it can be diffrent for the same person throughout the year.
For example when you want to bring up lagging parts or certain body parts dont recover quicky.
Me personally I can not do push pull leg because i am exhausted at the end of a push and pull day and there is no way i can put enough energy for arms and shoulders. I do chest back arms leg repeat rest and work very good for me. On arm day i add muscle groups that are lagging.
You have to find your own split imo

Westside Barbell is two upper body days and two lower body days.

I like it, in part, because it puts more emphasis on lower body power than other programs.

A coach once said that the easiest way to put muscle on a bodybuilder is to have a strong bodybuilder. I think it was Chad Nicholls. Westside is known for creating strong athletes.
