Week

Week builder

Count the days you will attend on an ordinary week, then subtract one if a day usually disappears. This builder uses the number you give it. It will not invent a sixth day to make the split look serious.
Days you will actually attend
How long a session can be
Is a sport already in the week?

Patterns, not a programme with your name on it. The reasoning is in how to choose a training split.

Which shape you get

  • Two days, or any week that already has a sport, becomes two full-body sessions. A sport plus four lifting days is cut back to two lifts.
  • Three days stays full body, with a lighter third day.
  • Four days becomes upper, lower, upper, lower.
  • Five or more becomes push, pull, and legs, with a repeat. The fifth day is not a new theme.
  • A short session drops the extra exercises. The main pattern stays.

Read how to choose a training split before you treat the list as the only correct week. If you swim, read swimming and strength training as well.
