I have been doing this current split for just over two months and I am still really enjoying it. It is one of my favs that I have done over my fitness journey and has been very effective at helping me reach my goals.
This is what I enjoy, so there is no need to completely copy but you are more than welcome to. As always you need to find out what style of fitness suits you best, that is how you stay consistent with it and can reach your goals. By all means, adapt and use my week of workouts as inspo for a new split!
Current split overview.

Glutes and Hamstrings.
I have found that splitting my legs days up so beneficial for my workouts. It has meant I can focus on my compound movements each day and get the most out of my workout.
RDLs
Hip Thrusts
Bulgarian split squats
Hamstring curls
Glute Kickback
Arms and Core.
Shoulder Press
Barbell Bicep curl
Cable Tricep extensions
Cable lateral raises
Ab circuit
I tend to change up the ab circuit depending on how I feel that day, sometimes I will just do a couple of two-minute planks! But I do it each week at that is the important thing.
If I do a circuit I will choose 4 exercises and do them for 30 seconds back to back, then take a 2-minute rest and repeat through 2-3 times in total.
Some of the exercises I like at the moment:
- In and outs
- Dead Bugs
- Planks
- Hanging knee raises
- Cable core press
- Bicycle crunch
Pull.
Pull is definitely my favourite day! Honestly, you cannot convince me that training back is not the most fun.
Single-arm bicep curl
Cable Bicep curl
Chest-supported dumbbell row
Wide grip cable row
Lateral pull-downs
Face Pulls
Glutes and Quads.
This day genuinely demolishes my legs; on your next leg day try adding bodyweight reps and go till failure on each set.
Goblet Squats
Hip Thrusts
Deficit Curtsy Lunges
Leg Extension
Hyper- Extension
Sometimes I will back squat instead of goblet squats; it depends on how I am feeling on the day.
The Smith machine is a great option if you want to start doing back squats but are nervous about having enough stability.
Push.
Shoulder Press
Flat Bench Press
Dumbbell Lateral Raises
Tricep Extensions
Cable chest flys
Tricep Push-down
Rest Days.
I try to stay active during my rest days, I try to go on a walk even if it’s just 20 minutes. I have found that getting outside once a day for at least 15 minutes has helped me physically and mentally.
I try to get 10,000 steps in each day but I don’t always hit my goal. Sometimes life gets in the way or I am just not able to reach it despite efforts too.
I have learnt that that is okay, the best thing to do is maintain consistency within the mindset, if you still try for your goals but slip up now and again in the big picture those days will be in the minority. So don’t get discouraged by not being perfect every day, strive to achieve your tasks for the majority of the time. Remember consistency is the key to success.
