Frequency and balance
The first things to check are whether each muscle gets 2 sessions a week and whether pulling matches pushing. A split that trains chest hard but backs it with two rows is out of balance and invites shoulder problems.
Can you rate my workout split?
Judge any split on frequency per muscle, push-pull balance, weekly volume and whether you can recover from it.
The quick answer
A good split trains each muscle about twice a week, balances pushing and pulling, and lands each muscle at 10 to 20 hard sets. The common failures are bro splits that hit a muscle once a week, too much chest versus back, and no direct arm, hamstring or rear delt work. Post the actual days and lifts and I can pinpoint the gaps.
How to think about it
Volume and recovery
Next, count weekly sets per muscle for the 10 to 20 range, and make sure your rest days let you actually recover. A 6 day split with no rest and 25 sets per muscle looks impressive and stalls fast.
Coverage gaps
Scan for muscles that get nothing direct: rear delts, hamstrings, calves and abs are the usual casualties. The best split on paper still fails if you skip half your leg.
Do this
- Check twice-a-week frequencyConfirm each muscle is trained on 2 separate days.
- Balance push and pullMatch or exceed pressing volume with pulling volume.
- Find the gapsLook for muscles with zero direct work and add them in.
