Push/Pull/Legs training plan

A Push/Pull/Legs training plan

There are several ways to divide your training plan, and yes, there is life beyond chest and biceps on the second.

One of these alternatives is the Push/Pull/Legs routine, which literally means Push/Pull/Legs.

This means that you will organize your training plan in the same way: Push training, pulling training and leg training.

This training method should be performed at least three times a week, and can be done up to six times a week, thus training all muscles twice.

Confused?
Do not stay.

Pushing training typically consists of chest, shoulders and triceps.

Pulling training is based on back and biceps.

And finally, leg training, which is based on…legs.

Remember, when you do barbell bench press, you push the bar up.

When you do military press, you also push the bar.

Now when you do dead weight, you have to pull the bar off the floor.

Dumbbell Curl for Biceps? You have to pull the dumbbells up.

This is an interesting method to work on, as when you do, for example, flat bench presses, you are also working your triceps and shoulders.

Barbell row? You are significantly working your biceps.

As for abdominal training, include it on leg day.

Here is an example training with the Push-Pull-Legs method in practice.

Training A? Push

Training B? Pull

Training C – Legs

Is this the only way to use this method?

No, this is just an example routine, which you can easily adapt with exercises that you think are more appropriate, and increase or decrease the volume.

Use around 3 to 4 sets per exercise and between 6 to 10 repetitions, always depending on your goal and the number of times you want to train per week.

If you want to do cardio training, always put it at the end and never at the beginning, so as not to harm your bodybuilding training routine.

One of the great advantages of this training is the ease with which it allows you to train each muscle more than once a week, although it is not mandatory.

Furthermore, if you choose to train, for example, six times a week, you can separate the training into ABCDEF, training each muscle twice a week, but with different exercises.

And don't forget, a good workout should always be accompanied by a good nutrition.
