What does "bro split" mean in fitness slang?
The term "bro split" refers to a weight training routine where each workout day targets a single muscle group, such as chest one day, back another, and legs on a separate day. The structure comes from "bro," a casual gym term, and "split," meaning division of training days. It is commonly associated with bodybuilding-style routines focused on isolated muscle development rather than full-body or push-pull programs.
Examples
He follows a classic bro split: chest on Monday, back on Tuesday.
