Building a muscular and aesthetic physique has always been my ultimate fitness goal. That’s why I tried many workout splits, from full-body and upper/lower to PPL and muscle group.
A full-body routine helped me increase my strength and endurance (working out four times a week), the muscle group split helped me maintain my strength and mass, and the upper/lower split also helped me achieve balance results.
However, it was the 6 day push pull legs split that helped me gain strength and mass.
The PPL split allows you to train each muscle twice a week and helps increase strength and size over time, as shown in a study published by Sports Medicine.1
So, if you also want to build a sturdy and sizeable physique, explore and download this ultimate PPL 6-day muscle-building workout plan PDF.
The push/pull/leg routine is divided into three parts – push day, pull, and leg day.
Push day includes training the chest, shoulder, and triceps muscle groups. Bench presses, overhead presses, dips, floor presses, and push-ups are examples of push exercises.
Pull day includes training the back, biceps, wrist, and forearm muscles.
I was looking for exactly this. Thanks for the breakdown.
Solid routine! Does this work well for natural athletes?
