Push | Pull | Legs Routine - Pros and Cons (FULL BREAKDOWN!)

is pull push off legs pull push off good??

What if you can’t do a chin-up without the extra weight?

Do one with double bro split 6 times a week like chest and triceps on Monday and all that

What is a "flush based conditioning?"

Sunday is actually the first day of the week. Love your stuff, Jeff. God bless!

Is it ok to do it like from Monday Legs off Push off Pull Weekend?
I like doing Legs first thing in the week after weekend hiking or cycling or other outdoor activities.

what an amazing guy. So true to fitness and to giving honest opinion. I thank you for taking your time to provide great information on training and I hope to train with you one day. My name is Fadi William and I live in UAE

I do push on Monday & Thursday

Legs/Pull on Tues & Friday

Take Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday off.

My Tuesday session is pull focused with light legs at the end and my Friday is Leg focused with Light Pull.

I did Push Pull Legs in that order and thought it can't be that bad. Tuesday was Pull, Wednesday Legs... I'm still sore in my butt and legs on Sunday 🤣🤣
(also didn't do legs for at least a year, but the pain is real)

nice

I prefer to do deadlifts on legs day, because it’s a kind of leg press… and if I do it on pull day then I have only one day rest before legs day.

I feel like deadlifts work the lower body more. Never understood why its on back day, seems like more overlap with legs rather than back/pull

I can only get to the gym 3 times a week, have been doing bro splits (chest, back, shoulders + arms) and missing legs. Have seen gains so will see how PPL goes. Years ago i used to do back and bicep, chest and tricep, shoulders and legs. This now seems outdated.

Do your deadlifts on your leg days

For me its best when its like

Upper
Lower
Off
Pull
Push
Legs
Off

What about the abs????

Could you do a PPL split workout with bands?

bro that fuck me up when i realized the first and second option are exactly the sames... 😅😂

I've been a bit fan of 6 day push/pull. Quads and calves on push day and hammies and pull or can do
Day 1 chest+push
Day 2 back +pull
Day 3 push without chest
Day 4 pull without back
Day 5 chest+ push
Day 6 Back + pull

So hit i everything 3x a week except chest and back that I usually like more rest

how about adding an arm day

When PPL ver2?

I've been doing an upper/lower split for 2 years and just about to start a PPL and see how I go.

Next video total body pro and cons

Rould you recommend this routine for an ectomorp?

Very well explained. Really helpful. Just one question, which day should we focus on abs if we follow ppl . Please reply.

My only question with PPL is where does shoulder day fall into this? Overhead presses are pushes but deltoid raises are pulls.

Hi Jeff, how can I adopt your PPL using my body weight? I’m pretty fit and lean from calisthenics. I can do my body weight workout in the hotel rooms (while I’m traveling) etc. but not sure how to incorporate ppl with body weight workouts. Would you have a video addressing this?

Can you add the 100 Concept with the PPL? PLEASE!

I do upper body, cardio, lower body, off day, upper body, lower body, and cardio. Cardio days are like kickboxing n juijitsu. If I feel slow or tired that day I just don't go hard.

Right now I'm doing plp, I don't deadlift, I push legs and pull because my back muscles are so sore I have problems on push day so I try and get that day break, probably doing things wrong idk, 🤦

I am thinking to do Pull Push Legs OFF Pull Push OFF

Because i have old leg injuries. Two leg training days a week will crush my work lifestyle

Should i do PPL or the traditional 4 day split Shoulders , leg , Chest and back ?

This is phenomenal. I have modified this to just having one legs day per week as I have always felt my legs to grow easily. I am talking about squatting 315 for 8 and not training legs for 1 month and going back to find out I can squat 325 for 10. So, if you fall under this category you can give Pull Push Legs Rest Pull Push Rest a chance.

Would

Monday: Pull
Tuesday: Push
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Pull
Friday: Push
Saturday: OFF (I usually go on a road trip for a hockey game; tried to put leg day away from Saturday as far as possible)
Sunday: Legs

Be a problem? If so, why?

What if I wanna do a full-body workout every gym session? How many days per week, how much recovery time?

When should we train core/abs in PPL?

I'm doing a 6 day ppl. If I'm doing 6 sets on chest and 6 sets on shoulders per workout that gives 24 sets of pushing per week. Jeff says to pull as much as you push. Do I need to do 24 sets of back per week? That's a lot of sets for back.

I’m doing the PPL split, which I really enjoy. I’m only doing the 3 day split tho. What’s better to do the first set for 8 weeks then swap over to the second PPL set for 8 weeks? Or just alternate sets each week? I feel 2 weeks between the same st may be a bit long?

Would a pull (Monday), push (Wednesday), legs (Friday) and calisthenics (Saturday) split be effective enough?

I want to workout three times a week, but is there an additional forth workout which would be good for hitting areas that might be missed in a simple push pull legs workout?

Such a conman scammer

I would love to see how you would attack a mountain bikers needs, form the perspective of racing fitness and strength development.

I’m on my fourth week of doing this PPL split and continue to get stronger each workout. Question…when should I switch it up and/or should I continue PPL with different movements or a different split all together?? Thanks Jeff

Can I play around with reps/sets for accessory movements in ppl(for hypertrophy) Or do I need to stick to the suggested range??Please answer. Thanks!

Does anyone know if running after a 6 day split would hurt gains? Cuz I really want to be fast and be able to run and also have decent muscle.

With the three day split is only training chest say on a push day once a week enough to build muscle?

I don’t use ppl strictly because it makes progressive overload on the second and third muscle groups I hit impossible Imo for example if I hit heavy bench press no way am I also gonna be able to get my goal reps for shoulder press or something like that

were are the ABS?

why not push leg pull?
