Two Day Workout Split

A list of pre-configured two day workout splits

Two day workout splits are workout plans where there are two sequences of exercises that target the entire body. This class of splits is typically worked out three days a week or two days on with one rest day. For example, one might work out on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with single rest days between each workout day and two days off on the weekend. Or one might work on Monday and Tuesday, take Wednesday off, and continue on Thursday and Friday with the weekend off.

Typically two day plus splits require gym equipment, dumbbell and barbells.
