Curls

Inspired by, and further explained here:

If you're gonna do a split I prefer U/L, but push/pull is fine.

Your hamstrings will snap :(

Seems very tolling on your legs. I would prefer an upper lower split. By keeping squats and deadlifts on the same day, you can allow for more recovery time between workouts, rather than work them on consecutive days.

Pros
>not complicated
>if you go balls to the wall you can complete a workout in under an hour
>hits all major muscle areas
>doesn't fuck around with "auxiliary lifts"

Cons
>After awhile, easy to plateau on
>gets boring after a few months of doing it

But I'm not sure how it works when you alternate it for 5 days in a row. Usually I did it where a=push and b=pull

and the days in between where usually spent doing a running program I was doing alongside my push pull
