PUSH / PULL / LEG WORKOUT SPLIT

Legs/push/pull is a 5-6 day training split and I would recommend it to those who can train more than 5 times a week. The setup is simple, push/pull/leg is one cycle, and after each cycle, you have one rest day as shown in the picture above. Therefore, you train each muscle group 2x per week.

Some of the most effective workouts splits for increasing strength and building muscle mass, for the push/pull/leg workout split.



On a push days you’re hitting your push muscles (Chest, front and side delts, and triceps), on pull day your pulling muscles (Back, rear delt, and biceps), and on the leg days your complete lower body (Quad, hamstring, glutes, calves). 

It is a great routine for those who want to increase their strength as well as build muscle mass. You should begin each workout with a compound lift in lower rep-ranges, and after it, you can move onto more hypertrophy work in higher rep ranges.

If you want some extra core/ab work, you can add it to any workout. However, keep in mind that training abs before your leg days might not be the best idea since squat and deadlift use a lot of core strength. So, training abs after your leg days might be the best idea.
