    cancer routine, why waste an entire day on pull movements when you can superset push and pull movements to the same result

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      Because I've gotten to a point where I mostly want to isolate certain body parts rather than only do compound movements.
      I spent 3 years in high school doing full body for sports and it's left some muscles to be desired.

          If you read what I wrote after you'd see that I feel fatigued after core exercises, getting a good work out isolating certain muscles after is difficult.

      Because it let's you hit the muscles more intensely, with more focus, and less intra session fatigue. It's great but 6 days is too much for me so I do pplxulx

    it's a meme program meant for roidheads. If you're natty you're better off doing 3x full body or UL 4 days a week. It's just not enough recovery for most natties. Some people can get by with it but the vast majority of guys perform better when they have more rest days.

      I need to isolate certain muscles, upper/lower or FB will leave me too fatigued to do isolated movements.

          Maybe by IST standards but I'm not in bad shape, honestly just need to lose 20 pounds and I'd be extremely shredded.

          this is me [...]

          Unironically been looking for this guy for years after seeing his back.

          >I need to isolate certain muscles
          which muscles? why do you think you need to isolate them?

          Primarily my shoulders and upper inner chest (as best as I can, it's the only part of my chest that's lacking) but also core (mostly obliques) and forearms.

      Wtf do you even mean. "More recovery" the recovery is the same per body part since both UL 4x a week and PPL 6x a week are 2x a week per body part.

        Just ignore him, he's an absolute moron.
        I already stated I'm not new to lifting which is why I'm going for PPL as it's more of an intermediate program.

        that's not how recovery works though. You've never heard of CNS fatigue?

            Upper left is only the left arm and the left chest, shoulder and lat, like the left side of the upper body.

    PPL is good for natties, just don’t let your arms fall behind. Don’t listen to the people telling you there’s not enough recovery time, it’s easy for beginners to recover from anything. Look up “Reddit PPL”, it’s perfect. I did it starting out and wouldn’t change a thing. Here’s what I achieved after 4 months of doing it exactly as written.

    I tried PPL and stalled constantly, it really is made for roiders. Unless you have some supernatural ability to recover quickly it's too high volume especially for someone just getting back into it. Start again with something like Grayskull LP

    I like PHUL or PHAT personally.

    People say PHAT has too much volume, but volume and intensity is exactly what you need to grow as a natty lifter.

    First, I used the PPL progressive overload routine on reddit, then "The Smartest PPL routine" in Jeff Nippard's channel and now I'm using CBUM PPL routine (video in channel as well). Tbh, I changed too much my routines, but, surely, I have made progress in the last 5 (nearly 6) months and the change in routines/the accessibility of the routines I used is what made the fun constant in my workouts and also made me learn A LOT about lifting and exercises, though I'm nothing but a 60kg 174cm skyeleton, I have made serious progress and intend to continue for the nex year. Good look OP.

    I switched to 6 day ppl after doing greyskull 3 days a week and I really like it. I recover well and my arms look bigger now due to going crazy on them and having multiple exercises just for bis compared to me just doing one bicep excercise for 4x12 on and off on greyskull.
    I guess if you wanna get strong fast, do fullbody and if you want to get strong and look good, do ppl or upperlower.

    3x week full body was wearing me out
    ironically it was because spreading 3 days of work over 7 days of otherwise total sedentary inactivity doesn't make you feel good
