From how fatigue silently kills your volume to why junk sets pile up when you try to cram everything into one workout, they pull back the curtain on what's actually happening inside your body when you split things up. You'll also learn why total training volume — not just sets, but reps AND weight — goes up automatically when you split your body across two sessions, and why that matters more...
