Bro Split vs PPL: Muscle Hypertrophy Guide Released By Top Home Fitness Brand

SOLE Fitness has released a new guide comparing Bro Split and PPL workout routines for muscle hypertrophy. The resource details the pros and cons of each method, helping fitness enthusiasts choose the right balance and highlighting compatible home gym equipment.

-- SOLE Fitness has published a new guide comparing two popular workout routines: the Bro Split and Push, Pull, Legs (PPL). The resource is developed to help fitness enthusiasts choose a suitable method for their muscle hypertrophy goals by examining optimal workout structures.

Given SOLE Fitness' status as one of the leading brands in home fitness, and given the expertise of their fitness team, their guide references the science of training frequency as a basis for its comparison. As a spokesperson for SOLE explained in the guide, some research suggests training muscles at least twice per week can promote superior hypertrophic outcomes compared to once a week, while other studies indicate frequency may not be a significant factor when total training volume is equal.

The traditional Bro Split involves training one major muscle group per day, typically hitting each muscle only once weekly. This method allows for high volume and intense focus during a single session, but its primary drawback is the low stimulus frequency for each muscle group.

In contrast, the PPL routine organizes workouts by movement patterns: push, pull, and legs. This structure typically allows each muscle group to be trained twice per week, an approach that aligns with research on consistent muscle protein synthesis for growth.

A direct comparison in the guide shows that while single-muscle splits offer ample recovery time, the higher training frequency of a movement-based routine can improve skill reinforcement. This structure also creates more opportunities for progressive overload, a primary driver of muscle growth.

The guide concludes that for most individuals focused on muscle hypertrophy, a movement-pattern structure generally offers benefits. It also notes that personal preference and long-term consistency are critical components for achieving fitness goals.

For those readers interested in implementing one of these fitness routines, SOLE Fitness's equipment is designed to support the demands of both workout styles in a home setting. For instance, their popular SRVO All-in-One Trainer is a versatile, space-saving system built to replace multiple pieces of gym equipment, making it suitable for the wide range of exercises required by either training philosophy.

The home fitness brand also recommends their SW180 Adjustable Dumbbells, which allow for quick weight changes from 5 to 80 pounds. This feature is useful for moving between heavy compound lifts and specific isolation exercises.

Additionally, their complimentary SOLE+ App, which comes with all purchases of home fitness equipment, including their SRVOs, includes access to over 3,000 workouts to complement any training plan.
