In this video, I discuss the merits of the full body routine vs the bro split. Which is best for aesthetic muscle building? Which is best for functional strength and power?

The argument goes that a full body routine will build more muscle by increasing gene activation through frequency, testosterone and growth hormone. It lends itself better to more compound exercises/functional training and it increases the heart rate.

But a 'bro split' will allow more intensity on specific muscle groups, creating more muscle damage and metabolic stress, followed by long periods of recovery to encourage hypertrophy. There simply isn't time in the day to train this intensively any other way.

So which is best? How about a third option: PPL...
