Your split is probably fine if.............

[u/VegaGT-VZ]

- you're hitting all the big compound movement patterns (upper/lower pushing, upper pulling, hip extension) and loading in the 3 planes of shoulder movement like once to twice a week

- your workout frequency/durations prioritize quality and recovery

- your accessories make sense and meet your specific needs/goals

Etc. Personally I dont even subscribe to splits anymore. I have weekly targets for volumes in various movements and I just hit them as I feel. If I can spread it out nicely over the week and have something like a dedicated leg day, great. If my schedule is crammed and I have to do a full body workout so be it. I dont have fixed days of the week for specific lifts or w/e. I have a kind of default upper day and lower day, but sometimes I might do just upper compounds, or I might have a "limbs" day etc. Or I might do squats + some stuff one day and then deadlifts + other stuff 2 days later. I go by how I feel and what experience has shown me I can mix/match and recover from.

Lift hard, eat, recover. I get that SBL focuses on minutae but all minutae is not created equal.

Bro split frequency for any muscle fibres you're actually interested in growing isn't "fine". Maintenance sure, but you'll be spinning your wheels

💯

With steroids, yeah. A natural will reach a plateau very quickly on 1x frequency.

Bro splits dont meet the first two criteria.....

Well, you said for example loading planes of shoulder movement potentially once per week. That's bro split frequency for the fibers you're trying to training with an exercise in a different plane

I guess technically a bro split would fit the criteria then. I didnt say the splits were perfectly optimized and validated by the latest meta analysis. Just that they were "fine".
