what you guys think about the "Push Pull Legs Upper Lower" split?
im gonna try it
i usually am in there for an hour and a half to 2 hours but i do a lot of cardio so that fills up most of the time. if ur just lifting it really depends how much you lift. if ur new to lifting you could be in there for as little as 20-25 minutes, if you've been lifting for a while aim for like 45 minutes to an hour
i can agree, U/L is really good, i just want to try something for 5 days/week
I do PPL and then chest + arms (cuz im trying to grow my chest more) with cardio 6 days a week. works great.
sure, focus on muscles you need/want to grow is a great strategy, interesting
bottom line is everyone's body is different and the most important thing is figuring out what works best for you individually.
i personally think focusing on splits is overrated in the sense that it's the most common question i see ppl asking lately but i don't think there's actually any data that shows ppl is substantially better (or worse) than upper/lower, etc. if ppl works the best for you, then it's the best for you. the biggest thing is simply giving muscles groups the proper rest before hitting them again. i also feel it's really important to shock your system and switching things up somewhat frequently so you don't plateau... things like swapping out ppl for chest/bi, back/tri, and rotating the specific exercises you are hitting in and out every month is key.
well, nice tips, i want to try things out to see whats seem more comfortable to me and my schedule
As long as you hit your total volume of sets per muscle group per week, you are good. You will literally feel what your split needs to be. I am sometimes a fan of weird splits like shoulders biceps so i can go hard on both exercises. Where-as push day you might not have energy for chest, shoulders, triceps. Depends on person!
I love push pull legs push pull legs with 2 days of rest, I've done some occasional arnold splits and didn't like them as much
