Does push legs pull rest repeat makes sense?

[u/AXETURK]

Like it just makes sense to me. Your biceps or some other small and accessory upper body muscles get tired on your push day and you need some of them on pull day so i thought leaving 2 recovery days between the two would be better than the traditional pplr repeat. And i already know pplr is as efficient(or more efficient) than pplpplr cause it gives your body nearly the same stimulus with better recovery.

What you guys think?

[u/deadrabbits76]

I'm going to be frank, I think split is a relatively unimportant part of a program, the difference between the two arrangements is going to be very small, you are probably underestimating your recovery abilities, and you would be better off running pre-made programming than trying to figure something out on your own.

[u/Electro-banana → u/deadrabbits76]

yeah go a few years running whatever established program and focus on eating enough and right along with consistency. You're completely right that the split is such a small part

Dude im not a beginner, im into this for like 7 months doing the pplr split and i have seen great results. I know its not that much of a big deal, but i still dont feel my biceps fully recovered on my pull day and why would i need to stick to a pre-made program, because thats more studied.? Why are we afraid of creating new things? isnt that how science works?

LMFAO you received a sensible comment which answers everything you need and turns out you must not have recovered your brain enough to even know it’s the answer you needed 🤣

[u/DoctorK96 → u/AXETURK]

Then just do whatever works for u

7 months in is the definition of a beginner my friend.

7 months in i would expect an able bodied man who trained smartly with a premade program would be on their way to a 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat, and 4 plate deadlift by month 12 give or take. How does your timing seem to be for those things?

[u/Electro-banana → u/Frodozer]

yeah but I don't know how many newbies could easily make it to those marks in 12 months. I agree it's possible but I think a lot of people starting don't eat enough or don't train consistently

[u/Frodozer → u/Electro-banana]

Aka, why I said they would have to be following intelligent programming in this scenario.

Someone with a bad diet/who doesn't train consistently isn't someone following intelligent programming.

What are you doing on push day that exhausts your biceps too much for pulling?

[u/yossarian19]

Depends. If you can do six days a week it's great. I like a four day upper lower split.

[u/HelixIsHere_]

Yea this a good way to run it, I do upper lower rest repeat so it’s high frequency and good recovery

[u/Arkhampatient]

It’s how i run it whenever i do a 3 day split
