I’ve designed Seth Feroce’s two workout training splits (Bro and PPL) after watching plenty of his training videos on his official YouTube Channel, where he constantly publishes workout, nutrition, and lifestyle blogs.
Seth Feroce is an IFBB Pro bodybuilder, YouTuber, and fitness influencer. He is known for his determination, intense training styles, and jacked and proportional physique. He has been lifting weights for more than two decades and tried various training splits throughout the journey.
If you’re his fan and want to emulate his workout, I recommend checking the below training program.
Seth Feroce’s Muscle Building Bro Split
It involves training one body part a day and you’ll do at least 30 sets for each body part. It will be a high-volume workout, requiring you to work hard each day to build bigger muscles.
You’ll train five to six times weekly during this split, starting with the chest, followed by the back, legs, and shoulders, and ending with the arms.
You can either take one or two days off in a week, depending on how quickly you recover from previous workouts.
If you take only one day of rest, then you have to push your shoulders and arms on day 4 & day 5, and on day 6, you can focus on your lagging body parts or abs.
Seth Force’s Bro Split Schedule:
- Day 1: Chest
- Day 2: Back
- Day 3: Legs
- Day 4: Shoulders/Off
- Day 5: Arms/Shoulders
- Day 6: Underdeveloped Body Parts/Off
- Day 7: Off
