PlanMatch – Find Your Perfect Split

Our smart algorithm analyses your answers and picks the exact plan – from 15 science-backed training programmes – that fits your life.

What is your primary goal?

Your answer determines how the plan is structured.

Why an Individual Training Plan Makes All the Difference

No two bodies are alike – and no training plan should be either. A generic plan from the internet ignores the most important factors of your success: your personal goal, your daily routine, your equipment, and your experience level. A beginner who starts with a pro-level plan risks overtraining and early frustration. An experienced athlete following a beginner plan wastes valuable potential.

Our PlanMatch system solves exactly this problem. Through targeted questions about your goals, your training environment, and your available time, our algorithm identifies the training plan that promises maximum progress with minimum frustration. The result: you start motivated, stay consistent, and see real results.

The Most Important Training Splits at a Glance

A training split describes how you distribute your workouts across the week. Choosing the right split is, alongside exercise selection and intensity, one of the most important decisions in your training planning.

Beginner

Full Body (3×/Week)

Ideal for beginners. High frequency per muscle group at manageable volume.

Intermediate

Upper/Lower (4×/Week)

Perfect balance of frequency and volume for intermediate athletes.

Advanced

Push/Pull/Legs (6×/Week)

The classic split. Each muscle group 2× per week with maximum volume.

All Levels

Bodyweight (3–4×/Week)

Training without equipment – at home or in the park. Adaptable for all levels.

Working Out at Home: Does It Really Work?

Absolutely – and science confirms it. Studies show that home workouts with the right progression strategy achieve similar hypertrophy results to gym training. The decisive factor is not the equipment, but progressive overload: you need to continuously challenge your muscles with new stimuli to stimulate growth.

Our home workout plans are designed exactly for this: clear progression paths, no excuses. Whether with bodyweight, dumbbells, kettlebell, or resistance bands – you will always set the right stimulus.

How Often Should I Train?

The optimal training frequency depends on your goal, your recovery capacity, and your daily routine. As a rule of thumb: each muscle group should be trained at least 2× per week to ensure optimal muscle growth. However, this does not mean you have to go to the gym every day.

3 training days per week are ideal for beginners and are well-supported by research. Advanced athletes often benefit from 4–6 days, distributed across sensible split structures. What matters most is consistency over months and years – not the short-term intensity of a single training week.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best training plan for beginners?

For beginners we recommend a Full Body plan (3x/week) or Starting Strength 5×5. These plans train all muscle groups evenly and allow rapid strength gains in the first months.

How many times per week should I train?

3–4 times per week is optimal for most. Beginners benefit from 3x Full Body, intermediate from 4x Upper/Lower or PPL. More than 5x is only needed for advanced lifters (e.g., Arnold Split, PHAT).

What does %1RM mean in training plans?

1RM = One Rep Maximum, the maximum weight you can lift once. %1RM indicates what percentage to use. 80% of 100kg 1RM = 80kg. Use our 1RM Calculator.

Should I train heavy or light?

Both have their place: Heavy training (3–6 reps, 80–90% 1RM) for strength, moderate training (8–12 reps, 65–80% 1RM) for hypertrophy. The best plans like PHUL and PHAT combine both.

How long until I see progress?

Beginners see measurable strength gains in 4–8 weeks. Visible muscle building takes 2–3 months. Consistency and progressive overload (steady increases) are more important than the perfect plan.
