So now the dust has well and truly settled and it has been decided that PPL is the greatest routine for natties, what does /fit/'s PPL routine look like?
>>
My PPL has a condensed mesocycle where I perform everything on the same day.
>>
>>42787430

My ppl routine looks like this

Push day
Pull day
Legs day
Push day
Pull day
Legs day
Rest day

Why is that? I never heard anyone say that before.

6 year lifter here.

All of the most aesthetic brah's at my gym (including me) all run a PPL 6 days a week.

>>42787478
Fresh out of the military heading to study at a uni.
I wanna run PPL but I have no idea about the exercises I should follow.
Any anons with some spare time willing to show me the way to gains?
>>
this has been working for me well recently, I change up the exercises every couple of months but the structure stays the same more or less. Doing biceps on push days and tricep on pull days has let me focus more on arms. I definitely notice the fatigue the next day though, ex. doing chest the day after tris

push 1:
>Squat 3x5
>bench press 3x5
>OHP 3-4x10-12
>DB press 3-4x10-12
>Lateral raises 3-4x10-12
>Bicep work

pull:
>Deadlift 3x5
>Barbell rows 3-4x10-12
>Cable rows 3-4x10-12
>Weighted pullups 3-4x10-12
>Close grip palms facing lat pulldowns 3-4x10-12
>Tricep work

push 2:
>Squat 3-4x10-12
>OHP 3x5
>Bench press 3-4x10-12
>incline DB press 3-4x10-12
>Standing cable flys 3-4x10-12
>Bicep work

>P1 P x P2 P xx
or when I have a lot of free time
>P1 P P2 P x

I do rear delt work and abs whenever.

Why push and then pull instead of pull and then push? You can deadlift a lot more if it's the first thing you do for the week

If PPL is the best routine natty then what's the best routine for roiders?
>>
i'm not sure how i feel about Push and Pull being split into separate days. been doing something like Pull-Push-Pull-Push on day A, Leg Day on day B and Push-Pull-Push-Pull on day C. i feel if i overwork the same muscles in one day without giving them a few minutes to recover i won't be able to do nearly as much as i can now.
>>
>>42787430
Just combined leg and push days. Running ABABABx so I can hit everything 3x a week.

A
Bench 5x5
High bar squat 3x5
OHP 5x5
Weighted dips 5x5-10
Triceps push down 3-5x8 depending on how tired I am
Calf raises 5x15
Leg curls 5x8
Bridges 3x1 min
Bicycle crunches 3x30

B
Bent over rows 5x5
Widegrip pull ups 5xf
Lat pull down 3x8
DB curls 5x6-10
Shrugs 5x5
20 min. of light cardio

>>42787589
congrats, you just invented the upper/lower split
>>
>>42787506
It's pretty simple

Push = Chest/Deltoids/Triceps

Pull = Back/Traps/Biceps

Legs = Legs
>>
>>42787611
>upper/lower split
not what i'm talking about. my question was why would i further split the routine into push and pull instead of alternating between the two for each exercise?
>>
>>42787622
Less crossover for recovery with split days than with antagonist training. If you dont do heinous amounts of volume the difference is small and comes down to preference.
>>
>>42787622
Not him but are you trolling? That still sounds exactly like upper lower.

The reason is you can hit your muscles better and stimulate more growth in your upper body.
>>
>>42787654
>sounds exactly like upper lower
again, nothing to do with the question at hand.

i used to do Bench, OHP, Incline and Dips all in the same day, and by the time i got to Dips i could barely do them. i've since split it into Bench + OHP and Incline + Dips, with pull exercises in between and i feel i can do a lot more before failure. so i just want to know the reasons for doing the opposite as this thread suggests.

I've been doing PPL for 6 months, but my leg day is really deltoids and core day with some squats added in since my legs are already disporportionally big.

Push = Chest/Triceps

Pull = Back/Traps/Biceps

"Legs" = Deltoids/Core + Squats

I do legs, pull, rest, push, rest.
It has worked pretty well so far.

For deadlift t2 would you do a deadlift variation or squat variation
>>
>>42788366
I'd do t2 front squats on dl day. These carry over to both dl and squats and generally everyone should front squat. And I'd choose a dl variation as t2 for squat days depending on your weaknesses. My choice is snatch grip dl, because they act as deficit dl and also they are awesome trap builders. And everyone wants big traps.

>>
>>42788761
Will probably see how it goes and adjust in 2 weeks, so currently the amount of sets and rep ranges are a rough estimate

Also my core is a bit behind in progress, so this should be tough on my core and lower back at first

MWF core lifts whole body

TTh accessories, arms, abs, hams, and traps

I prefer it to PPL
>>
>>42787430
my routine is

>activate ALL the muscles over the period of 3 training days or so.

Is it any good lol?

Basically one day is 1/2/3/4 day, if I am on time i add some core strengthening to it. The other day is various dumbbell exercises. On the third day I use the weird machines, the body weight dip, the rarer back muscles and misc.

I mean, isnt that the best approach of them all? Try to target all the muscle groups and even individual muscles on their own? Sure I may not get the fastest progress. And I may want to add some isolative exercises to it...but isnt it the most wholesome to look shredded EVERYWHERE?

PPLs can be alright but they're definitely not the most efficient. Not even close.

Seated db press. All you need. Maybe chuck in some lateral raises at the end of a workout

OHP->seated db press is to delt aesthetics what
Barbell Bench->incline db bench is for chest aesthetics.

Start push day with delts instead of chest, chances are your chest is overdeveloped anyway

Before I started working out? Haha, I never did any sports or any lifting up until I was a freshman in college, that's when I started lifting (August 2016), then I did PPL, eventually transitioned into ULUL which is what I'm doing now as a sophomore. I was particularly weak and malnourished before I began, and could only (barely) bench the bar 3x3. Just ate more, took in protein shakes after every workout, gained 15 lbs of lean mass in 10 months natty. Now I can bench press 155 lbs, 3x5, used to only used 10 lb dumbbells when I began, now using 47.5 lbs

get compliments from family and friends about physique, abs, chest, and shoulders

I don't do squats or deadlifts though, I never found them entirely useful or very enjoyable, even after doing them for 2 months.

hope that answers your question

>All these low volume routines

It's really easy to tell none of you have been lifting for longer than a year.

These routines are literally trash. If you don't have at least 10 sets of deadlifts on your pull day and you're doing less than 10 sets of squats, you're literally not even trying.

Doing 6 sets of bench per week is also fucking ridiculous.
>>
>>42790275
Hey, yeah that answers my question & congrats on your progress.

Reason I was asking was because I'm a noob currently doing a strength routine and plan to eventually switch to a PPL variant once I reach 1/2/3/4. I'm wondering if lifts as high as those (even though they are kinda weak) are even a prerequisite now, though
>>
>>42790337
That's pathetic m8.

I bench 100kg for 6-8 reps and then I do incline dumbell bench with 40kg dumbells for 8 reps.

I also only weight 79kg and I'm 185cm tall and have really long arms, so you're either ridiculously weak or your routine is garbage.

you generally use PPL to break out of Skelly mode the quickest - best way to gain mass, but no real strength gains.

I said it before and I'll say it again: PPL is extremely inefficient for natties. Can it be done? Yes. But its just a glorified brosplit and inferior to full body training. Full body 3 days a week is infinitely better for all experience levels.

If you do PPL, 3 days a week, you're only hitting each muscle group 4 times a fucking month. If you do PPLPPL 6 days a week, you're still only hitting everything 8 times a month, plus you're spending way more time in the gym than you need to. You're delusional if you think training 6 days as opposed to to 3-4 as a natty is going to make any kind of difference. 6 days a week in the gym plus your cardio is retarded to do long term unless you're on gear. Your recovery goes to shit, you're always sore, and you're bound to get injured.
You might think you're fine because you're alternating muscle groups, but your "pulling", "pushing", and "leg" muscles all use the same joints.

Full body you get way better frequency, you can hit every muscle group 12-16 times a month. Protein synthesis only lasts 48 hours so what makes more sense for your gains?
Steroid users can get away with PPL and splits because protein synthesis gets elevated to 7 days.

>>42790479

>you're only hitting each muscle group 4 times a fucking month

That's why you PPLPPL and go to the gym 6 days a week.

That's 8 times a month for each muscle group as opposed to a "full body workout" which triggers far less hypertrophy in each muscle group 12 times a month.
>>
>>42790479
Yeah, but what are some good fullbody routines then? All I could find was some noob and beginners routine, I'm trying to make my own based on trial and error but it'd be much easier if I could find a fit approved intermediate routine.
>>
>>42790574
You're both on the far side of the spectrum. It really depends on how much volume you're doing on those workouts. Maybe even depends on how fast you can recover.

Rope Pushdowns (circuit machine): 3x10-12
Overhead Dumbbell Extension or similar triceps exercise (Tricep extension machine): 3x10-12
Shrugs(circuit machine or dumbbells): 3x10-12

Pull (Back/Biceps):

Barbell Rows: 3x5
Lat Pulldowns with (Long Bar or V-bar) (circuit machine): 3x8-10
Seated Rows (circuit machine) - optional if already doing barbell rows: 3x8-10 LEARN LEARN LEARN
Face-pulls: 3x-10-12 LEARN LEARN LEARN
Barbell Bicep Curls (Alternate between close and normal grip): 4x-10-12
Choice of one other bicep exercise (typically Hammer Curls): 3x10-12

Legs (Quad/Ham/Calves):

Barbell Squats: 4x5-6
Leg Press (optional if already doing above squats): 3x8-10
Leg Extensions (circuit machine): 3x10-12

Standing Calf Raises (circuit machine): 5x10-12

I usually do either P/P/L [REST] P/P/L or P/P/L/P/P/L[Rest]

If you read further in my post I addressed the 6 days a week version. On top of that, there is no such thing as a "hypertrophy" workout. Your total workload and frequency determine how much hypertrophy is induced regardless of training parameters, regardless of wether you think your workout is a "hypertrophy workout" or not. Its already been established that the best way to bring up a lagging muscle is to train it every day with low volume. Thats why programs like Bulgarian light are so effective. Frequency of training is very important for natties.
>>
>>42790749
Yeah, then I agree with you there.
If you have time and can manage to do great workouts on a high volume pplppl then go for it.

I'm still trying to find a good fullbody routine that is not those shitty "allpro beginners" or "lyles mcSellOut" bs
>>
>>42790774
pls help me find a good fullbody routine, you clearly know your shit m8
>>
>>42790611
Use a Heavy/Medium/Light approach and

On Heavy/Intensity days, stick to lower reps, Medium days are your high volume days where you can go all out, I utilize 10x10, and 3x20 a lot.
Light days dont go above 10 reps for 3 sets. Rotate exercises every 3-4 weeks.
>>
>>42790834
Seems good, I'll try this out!
You're not doing deads for volume, are you? isnt it kinda overkill?

>>42790894
yeah but 10 SETS of squats and deadlifts is useless
>>
>>42790809
It depends on your goals really.
Intensity/volume/light with excercise rotation is great. The main idea you have to get is to stop trying to be the jack of all trades. Choose a handful of compound lifts and accessories that you want to improve and strictly stick to those. On your light days you can perform the excercises you aren't prioritizing with light weight simply to practice the movement pattern (I do squats on my light days for 3x10). Right now im focusing on OHP, rows, and rack pulls from shin height. OHP is my main pressing movement and i use close grip incline bench as an assistance for it. So a sample intensity day looks like this for me

Paused OHP 5x3
Close Grip Incline Bench 3x5
Rack Pull - work up to heavy single or double followed by a back off set of 4-5
Row - 3x5
RDL - 3x10
Rear Delt Swings - 3x5
>>
>>42790874
Nope. For volume on deads you should always stick to low reps and just increase the sets imo.
>>
>>42789578
>implying I didn't already do the full body and upper lower routines in the first 3-4 years of my time lifting

Assumptions make an ass out of you.

The fact you'd still think I'd be running a fb or u/l at this stage shows how newfag you're to lifting, or you're just a biased fat cunt who just bench squats and deadlifts and autistically refuses to do anything else.
>>
>>42790204
Most of those programs are unironically better than most of the shit PPLs designed by retards floating around out there, including the majority of this thread.

That being said a non-minimalist fullbody 3x per week program will give you the aesthetic and strength gains of a PPL at 1.5x the speed, if not faster since higher frequency leads to better results as long as total weekly volume is equated. The biggest difference between programming for pure strength vs. going for an aesthetic look has more to do with exercise selection than it does weekly layout so the myth that fullbody is only for fat powerlifters comes from either shills or the misinformed.
>>
>>42790479
Enjoy your noob gains while they last. When you come crawling to the PPL it will be wide open iregardless of your spiteful words.

>>42791061
You're literally running a fucking PPL SIX YEARS IN Jesus fucking Christ LOL.

I'm not a powerlifter by any means, I don't even like deadlifts and I like OHP way more than Benching, but you're just a fucking idiot.

Enjoy that 185 bench LMAO
>>
>>42791120
You say that like PPL isn't a novice program. All you're doing is stretching out your noob gains for longer just to get the results you could have gotten in 1/2 the time.
>>

>>42791120

I'm a late intermediate/early advanced lifter. My noob gains are over.
Fullbody training isn't just for noobs, my friend. Believe it or not, there are other fullbody routines besides Starting Strength.

you don't go 100% on 10 sets you autistic fuck.

You build up for like 3-4 sets, then you do 1-2 HEAVY sets, then you go down in incraments and your last set is most likely gonna be an AMRAP set.

You faggots need to stop with this bullshit.
Have a routine that tires you the fuck out and includes a balance of compounds and assistance work.

Dunno what PPL you're doing or have looked at.

I do 25-30 sets every day on my PPL.

12-15 hard sets for strength and progression followed by 10-15 light sets chasing the pump.

I've worked up the workload capacity to train this way over the years and my nutrition and sleep is always perfect so I have no problem recovering. I always eat 200g protein and literally sleep 10 hours a day everyday, without fail. I also have zero stress lifestyle.


Maybe you guys should take this into account before disregarding a routine ;)

Main movements are taken to a strength range.The exercises below the main movements which are indented are taken to a volume range.

This program tries to hit every body part at least twice a week which is enough to illicit growth/muscle building.

Mixing Strength & Volume is best way to hit the fast twitch muscle fibers and the low twitch muscle fibers. Cardio is always needed regardless if your bulking and cutting as it keeps your fat gains in check in a bulk and keeps your heart healthy. And adding a quick HIIT session with medicine balls, ropes and tire flipping keeps your routine fun.

This program is under 2 hours and is possible to complete it in that time if you are using a timer for your rest sets and not socializing or keeping that at a minimum.

Id say the only bad thing about this program is the lack of triceps, rear delt work and traps. However, deadlifts can be taken to a volume range since they are only done once a week.

Obviously when I refered to the bench and incline I was using it as an example. I too see 27 sets on the image.

You don't know what real volume training is.

No need to do fancy exotic workouts. Keep it simple.

Do I need to hold your hands? lmao use google to research the results of high frequency training. It's a fact that as long as total weekly volume is equated then higher frequency gets you better results. Knowing this FACT, and knowing fullbody allows for higher training frequency for every part of your body than PPL unless you're going to train twice a day then fullbody is objectively superior. It's literally math, stop being biased retards just because you're running PPL. I used to run PPL too, but the evidence is undeniable.

Also ur a couple of fags and I bet you kiss after every rep.

I do full body and I'm an advanced lifter. Many other people do the same.

You can do Intensity/Volume/Light with exercise variation. For example on intensity day you do your regular deadlifts, on volume day your block pulls, and on light day your defecit pulls

Post your routine mate. I want to see it.
>>
>>42792591
I'm running a concurrent fullbody right now so there's technically no specific volume since it changes weekly but it's consistently in the 550-650 range. For example last week I did over 600 reps in a single session, over 225 of them were presses, direct tricep and shoulder work. That doesn't even include my intensity day where I reach intensities going into the mid to high 90%'s weekly without ever having to program a deload.

Just because a program has a certain weekly layout does not mean it can't be used for intermediates or advanced lifters, after you get the required MEV and frequency for each body part it's basically just a matter of how often you want to be in the gym.

This board just has this stupid notion that fullbody automatically equals SS or one of it's clones because that's what they're bombarded with on a daily basis because at least 80%-90% of the people on this board are complete noobs.
>>
>>42792752

This post deserves to be in the sticky.
If you are natty, quick, full body workouts 5-6 times per week will amaze you.
This is coming from someone who has done every workout under the sun.
Mind you, this means you can not go heavy every day.
Pick ONE lift to go heavy on.
Workouts should take less than an hour.

Put deadlifts at the end of the week on leg day and have your first pull day focus heavy rows and volume lat pulldowns, while your second pull day focuses on vertical pulling, heavy chins and volume machine rows. Then front squat instead of back squatting on deadlift day and treat deadlifts as a glute/hamstring exercise.

Read Mike Israetel's stuff so you can better structure your workouts because right now your volume doesn't make much sense, it's just an arbitrary middle range, you make much better gains if you cycle volume in and out in order to create an overload with a new stimulus every single session. For example, start with 14 sets for back, then increase sets weekly until you can't recover (i.e. on rows you do 4,5,6 sets but on the week with 6 sets, you get less reps on the first 5 sets than you did in the previous week and this was a pattern on half your exercises for that muscle group). Once you reach the point where you didn't recover, you take a deload week based on the last week where you were fully recovered (in this example it would be the week where you did 5 sets on rows) and you repeat that week with 50% number of sets and 90% weight. Then you increase the weight on the bar and start a new cycle from the minimum number of sets and work your way up until you can't recover again. If you find your cycles take too long (I.E. you're increasing from 14 to 18 to 22 to 26 sets per muscle group and you still haven't hit your maximum recoverable volume) you should deload anyway and make a bigger jump in weight so that you keep your number of sets in a reasonable range. It's a lot to explain but once you learn it, it becomes as simple as increasing sets until you can't, then increasing weight and doing it again. It's not too important to start at a lower volume unless you can't increase weight in shorter cycles (takes less time to reach your maximum volume) so I usually start at ~14 sets for bigger muscle groups.

>>
>>42796419
Oh it's a program for complete beginners. That makes sense. In that case doing big lifts twice a week is better. Once out of the gates though, exercise variation and intelligent progression quickly becomes super important. I suggest reading this: http://dlx.b-ok.org/userbooks/4/0c60aa62052709345336e9c4005ce6a2/_as/[Mike_Israetel_Chad_Wesley_Smith]_Scientific_princ(b-ok.org).pdf

>>42796428
I have these on my power rack and it was a fantastic purchase, but you can replace machine rows with dumbbell rows with knee on bench or any horizontal pull that isn't taxing on the lower back and you can replace pulldowns with more chins, but it's hard to do high reps on chins as a beginner to get volume in so I would recommend just doing more strict close grip barbell rowing to grow lats on that day.
>>
>>42796442
I'll look into it, thanks anon
>>
>>42796507
It helps to read Israetel's blogs on hypertrophy training before reading the book, because it gives you some idea of what workouts look like, and it gives you guideline numbers for all the volume benchmarks the book talks about.

>>42795961
What beginner routine would you recommend instead?
>>
>>42796622

It depends on your goals anon. Doing one of the common noob routines 3 times a week is fine until if you're just starting - you want to put all your focus on mastering your compounds, as they will be your bread and butter for gaining strength and adding mass.

One day you'll try to do your linear 5x5 and be fucking exhausted by the second or third exercise of your workout, and you'll start plateauing consistently. That's when it's time to switch to something like PPL.

I actually agree with anon on this one.
I've been going for the past 8 months with my own routine and went from skinnyfag 140 to 180 (I'm 6'2).
This has been with only machines and calisthenics aswell, no free weights.

>why does you gym have no free weights lol
The "gym" I goto is part of my community center and they're retarded and think people will steal the free weights.
>>
>>42796622
Lyle McDonald's generic bulking routine. Increase weight when you can hit the minimum sets and maximum reps, decrease weight when it's too heavy to do the minimum reps and minimum sets. Do the extra set when you feel good and can easily hit the minimum reps. You can rotate SLDLs out for deadlifts on the second leg day of the week but don't fuck with the rest of the program. You want to be progressing two times per week on every exercise. This means you're progressing faster on upper body than SS and still adding weight to the bar 2 times per week on squats.
>>
>>42796799
He's wrong and you're wrong. Days per week is irrelevant, just split your volume up evenly based on your schedule. If you're not evenly splitting your volume then you're doing intra-microcycle volume variation (DUP) which is a strategy you should use when you actually know how to program it correctly. Training more days per week is always easier than training fewer days per week. ULULULx with the same number of sets and exercises as FxFxFxx is easier, but unnecessary because 3x/week frequency requires a significant sacrifice in volume and your workouts will be very short if you go 6 times a week. No full body routine that gets posted here actually trains every single muscle in the body 3 times a week, so the "frequency" argument is stupid anyway. There is a minimum stimulus required to create overload which is constantly increasing and you need overload to grow period. Eventually you will not be able to recover fast enough to overload your muscles twice a week. Realistically, this is fairly quick. Very strong dudes like Vince Urbank only deadlift heavy every 2-3 weeks because the stimulus required to create an overload is so high for them when they're doing working sets with 800lbs+ that they simply cannot afford to repeat it more often for the sake of fatigue management and avoiding injuries.
>>
>>42797111
To clarify, when I say you can't overload your muscles 2x per week, you can still train them 2 times per week and accumulate volume over time, which can create an overload in and of itself, but if you only did half the training, you'd likely see no growth at all.

Novices can train squats and deads on the same day easier. Boris Sheiko has his advanced powerlifters bench 4-5 days a week and still none of his public programs include deadlifts and squats on the same day. The difference is that Sheiko has trained 40something PL champions and Rippletits trains high schoolers.

Thoughts?
PT friend of mine wrote it up but I'm thinking of rotating a few of the more niche exercises for more basic ones like victory raises for lateral raises etc.

Push
>Incline db bench 4x6
>db victory raise 4x6

>Cable incline fly 3x9
>db tricep press 3x9

>kneeling shoulder press 2x12
>rope push down 2x12

Pull
>kneeling rope pull down 4x6
>cable seated row 4x6

>cg front lat pulldown 3x9
>db curl 3x9

>incline hammer curl 2x12
>t bar row 2x12

The 2 exercises get rotated to different set/rep amounts depending on if it's push/pull day 1, 2 or 3 to best utilise hypertrophy/strength.

Legs
>squat 4x10
>les press 4x10
>calf raises 4x10
>db lunge 4x10
>leg curl 4x10

>>42797342
Victory raises are for front delts. Overall pretty shitty 3 minute routine desu. You should be doing barbell work to create a greater training response in large muscles with more weight. Right now you're not doing a single chin up or barbell row or bench press.
>>
>>42797384
I'm doing dumbbell bench which I prefer to barbell.
And the close grip front lat pulldown is similar to chinups.
What would you change/add?
>>
>>42797414
Barbell bench and barbell rows. More taxing movements result in more significant adaptation. The only reason you'd do a less taxing move is if recovery is an issue. Chins are more taxing than lat pulldowns, lat pulldowns are a bitch exercise compared to them. Also DB bench and Lat pulldowns are easy to recover from so you can do them after a barbell row/chin up/barbell bench anyway. As a general rule of thumb, pair incline bench with flat DB press and flat bench with incline DB press.

>>42795440

Been doing OHP with other DB delt exercises for 5 years, never had any problems with shoulders and delts are my best feature so far. Just because you can't handle multiple delt exercises in a single workout, does not mean it's bad
>>
>>42797444
so you would replace db bench for barbell, chinups for lat pulldowns, and barbell rows for seated row? or add them on top of the workout?
>>
>>42787430
Legs, push, pull makes more sense imo
Assuming that you don't do standing ohp I think that it'll be better overall for you to give your erectors/abs a day to recover in between leg work and pulling movements (which I assume include deadlifts and some form of row)
