After 10+ years of lifting weights and trying a million different routines I have come to the conclusion that PPL (Pull, Push, Legs) is the best routine for Hypertrophy, and is also the best version of the PPL routine.

    I don't even know how to get into weight lifting. But I've heard about PPL. I keep trying to figure out how to start, but I don't really know how to establish what weights I should be starting with.

      Checked. Also, OP is right. If you look up a basic push, pull, legs routine and throw in some cardio, you'll be good.

      Don't overthink it... Just start with the bar and add 5-10 pounds until you can't do more than 5 reps...
      5 sets of 5 reps is the world's most common program for exercises

      Don’t listen to this chud:

      Trans lives don’t matter

      Trans people should supplement their protein shakes with about 200 finely ground apple seeds. They have bio active nutrients to help the HRT you’re on work with your exercise regiment.

          Because a few months of PPL has done more to change my body than YEARS of fricking around with Upper/Lower and Full-Body routines did.

            Its not that much of a difference if you are not a complete brainlet, the way you split your training is by far not the most important training factor

      Pull, Push, Legs is better than Push, Pull, Legs.

      You can try it yourself and see why.

        Shh, don't tell them. Anyone who actually lifts quickly comes to this conclusion.

        "PPL" is the easiest way to out DYELs and non-lifters.

    Push Pull is the optimal routine

    Squats go on push, deadlifts go on pull

      >does squats tiring his entire body ruining the rest of his pushing exercises
      >does deadlifts tiring his entire body think my the rest of his pulling exercises

      You’re an idiot who clearly hasn’t actually tried doing Push/Pull because if you did you’d know having 2 heavy lower body compound lifts as your primary lifts on each day are going to completely ruin the rest of your workout. Hence why PPL exists, to seperate the Legs so you’re not exhausting yourself on those lifts before doing upper body exercises.

      No the beginner powerlifting-centric routines are horrible to start going to the gym for general fitness, athleticism, or aesthetics. They are precisely only for beginners who want to do powerlifting.

      To put it simply push muscles are pecs, triceps, delts. Pull muscles are lats, traps, biceps.
      Imagine pushing a door open, think about what muscles you are using, eventually you will be able to feel the individual muscles. Do the same for a pull door.
