How bad really would doing a 5 day PPL be?

Basically I have access to a gym 5 days a week because long story. Was thinking of doing PPLPP and then resting the other 2 days

My legs are already pretty big compared to the rest of me so Im not worried about them becoming small. Is this a bad idea? Anyone got any good 4 or 5 day routines?
>>
yea look for phul, phat. those imo are the most similar towards PPL
>>
>>42808948
That would be a great way to have small legs but you're doing ppl so you're gonna be small all over
>>
>>42808982
come on now, plenty of big guys do PPL

just because you don't have the work capacity to do it, or are still in the beginner SScel mindset that only full body routines work, doesn't mean it's not a valid way to organize training
>>42808948
you already know your legs will not be developed optimally, but as far as bro routines that still maintain some semblance of balance it would probably be fine
>>
Squats once a week is enough for decent legs

this, though dont expect much op
>>
>>42808948
Hey man you'll make gains for sure. The only issue i have with this program is that trainning legs only once a week will cause you to get DOMS every week and that sucks. I'd do a few sets of squat 2 days before or after your leg days to keep that from happening if i were you
>>
>>42808948
Do UxLxPPL instead.

PPL is literally a good routine and there are guys 10x more aesthetic than you following it

Whats wrong with doing PPL if I find it enjoyable? I enjoy being in the gym 6 days a week, and I get gains.

now explain why PPL is not a legitimate way to organize training when countless people use it with great results
>>
I cant believe that are still ''MEN'' working out legs on this board

PP master race here. Go to the gym 4 times a weak + 25 min run 3 time a week in a lean bulk. Enjoy growing while maintaining your chad abs. Also, this type of routine goes well with drinking 3+ times a week.

>>42808982
PPL with curls and rows in addition is probably the best training program for naturals to look as big as your genes allow you to be.
>>
>>42809003
Can agree, I did squats three to four times a week and barely could increase, then I realized that my legs need more rest and reduced it to once, twice a week at max and have way better and stronger legs this way.
>>
>>42811513
sound like a pussy to me
>>
>>42811525
I just don't have good genes, not everyone squats 200 kg after a year.

toning seems to have worked out. how about building some muscle now? (unless you are going for trap mode ofc.)

>>42811536
fair enough

post your body faggot b4 you talk shit
>>
>>42811513
overtraining is a fact.
you can squat superhard once a week, but if you try to squat as hard for 5-6 days straight, it will make you overtrain. many people think overtraining is some "magical sickness". progressing less than optimal, or not progressing, can be overtraining too.
by reducing daily stress, you can better organise your squat training across 2+ days than you can in one day, but the most important thing is sticking to a routine that fits your preferences/lifestyle of course.

>thinking number of lifting days matter

I have built my phisique on 2 days full body with compound lifts focusing on strength
>>
>>42811736
I know a lot of big guys who just train twice a week with legs before chest and arms. Seems to work, I remember when I thought I must train every single day and at the end I just injured myself because I didn't know wtf I am doing. Good, I can't blame the 7 days a week training, only my own stupidity because I thought I must go heavy every time.
>>
Day 1: Push + knee dominant accessory work
Day 2: Pull
Day 3: Legs (heavy strength session)
Day 4: Push
Day 5: Pull + hip dominant accessory work

Accessory work would be 1-2 exercises, moderate weight, higher rep.
>>
>>42811736
>I have built my phisique on 2 days full body with compound lifts focusing on strength
So that's why you look so shit.
>>
>>42811775

too bad i dont have old pics on my pc when I used to do routines such as ppl or PHAT.

You don't need that much volume as natty.

My current routine: Squats 5/3/1 or Dead 5/3/1
Bench 5/3/1 or OHP 5/3/1
Weighted pull up
Yates Row
Flies or lat raises
arms

That's it, minimalist as fuck, I add jocker sets and I have never been bigger. I used to stall so much on PPL, and know my numbers are increasing so fast. In my opinion upper/lower is the best
>inb4 i dont want big legs

Just do 2 leg exercises and abs

But that doesnt even mater, hell I do 1 leg exercise and by legs are huge compared to my lower body. 3x squatting for 3 plates beats any of your high volume meme leg routines.

That's why you got a physique of powerfatter and not an aesthetic physique nor equilibrated physique. And you're fat. And you're lazy with your two days .
Don't be salty when we'll get the girls while you'll be talking about your 4pltate squat
>>
I like doing PPPPxLx because I deadlift on leg days and the rest day before and after it is super useful for recovery.
>>
>>42811964
when should a new lifter hop off the SS train?

My goal is to develop an aesthetic physique and have a decent level of strength (normie
strength standards)
>>
>>42811990
Show your physique then. With time stamp please.
>>
>>42811409
where's your "after" pic?
>>
>>42812032
You finish SS after a few months, then just don't extend it and you're good to go. SS will jumpstart you to okay strength levels, but bodybuilding routines will also get you stronger over time. Unless you actually want to be a powerlifter, strength routines are a complete waste of time.

PPL is great but using that as proof is silly since Efron is on juice.

3-6 months and do it fucking right. Torrent the damn book and read it. Maintain good form.
>>
I can't believe how many idiots on here think PPL "doesn't work" or won't grow legs. What a bunch of morons. Dorian's training was basically PPL for years, just with lower volume. It's a very popular and successful way to split up training.
>>
>>42812268
It's only one idiot. He's been trolling any thread that mentions PPL for awhile now but won't ever post his own routine or body.

>>42812516
I do acknowledge he's bigger than me, never said otherwise. If he cutted he'd probably look better too. But for now he's still fat, have no traps for someone who praises heavy compounds and has imbalances from what i see

You do know you're supposed to progress in weight right. You look like you've been lifting the same amount of weight for 6 months. You've been lifting less than a year. Shut the fuck up, you don't know shit. I doubt you even use proper form. My 12 y/o nephew has more muscle mass than you.

>>
>>42809245
My favorite if I can only go 5 days is

PPLPushP/L

So push pull legs, push then pull+legs on the last day

You can change it obviously but for example like squats/deadlifts/lat pulldowns/rows/biceps/calves. See if that works for you maybe?
>>
>>42811389
I do something similar but on the first push day, I'll do heavy bench and lighter OHP since I'm worn out, then in second push day I'll do heavier OHP and lighter bench. then repeat but add 5lbs, so every week you're progressing on one of those
>>
>>42808948
Just do a program similar to phat.
Monday - Upper
Tuesday - Lower
Wednesday - Push
Thursday - Pull
Friday - Legs

Problem solved. You can make the first 2 days (upper/lower) more heavy low rep focused and then do alot of accessories and higher reps on your PPL days
>>
>>42813757
Yeah but dumbbell bench IS better and I don't look like him
>>
>>42809007
>>42808982

Lol did someone on PPL fuck your mother? I really have no idea why you think hypertrophy isn't possible when there's double the volume for literally each muscle group than some shitty fullbody program that will give you a giant man ass and not much else
