I just started a 6-day bro split (been doing it for 2 weeks) and managing 4 exercises per day but want to move it up to 6 exercises per day. What has your experience been with a bro split? I feel really good after chest day but get exhausted after leg day, and I imagine this is because the muscles are different sizes. Is this normal?

Pointless split imo

I do full body every lifting session. Let's you take more rest days.

First I start with ATG squats on smith machine with 2 ten lb plates beneath the heels, toes pointed out 45°. I superset squats with wide grip pull-ups for an hour. No rest just keep doing more sets back to back.

Then after that is complete I do T-bar rows, Bulgarians, lateral raise machine, rear felt flies and arms (preacher curl machine and triceps extension machine).

I don't really train chest ever because I used to bench alot during my first few years lifting. Sometimes I'll do some flies just so the chest doesn't lag too far behind.

So you honestly think you need to work your shoulders with the same frequency as your legs? You think working each tiny muscle group once a week is good enough? You don't think you will benefit more from full body lifts that engage more than simply your CHEST?
>whats the point
This is a dumb routine.

I got bored of full body workouts. I just want to change it up for like 4 to 8 weeks.

I have been basically doing a bro split, only working most body parts once a week.

I feel like i plateaued aftar just a year or two of ppl and splitting more daily volume with better recovery seems to be working for me at the moment, especially for shoulders.

Sub-optimal split
I'm actually on this split (compound first, isolation last).
Day 1 chest, back, triceps
Day 2 legs, shoulders, biceps
Day 3 back, chest, triceps
Day 4 shoulders, biceps, legs
