Those that do Push Pull splits, do you guys normally do a push day, then immediately follow up with. a pull session next day? Or do you split it up? 

Quite sore from my push day, mainly focused on upper body because I did a shit ton of cardio.

😭 I’m trying but also keeping it lean and cutting carbs whenever I can. Whenever I work out I can’t seem to get under 200lbs easily due to the way my body holds muscle. Back when I had back surgery, I was 170lbs and was the thinnest I’ve ever been. Striving to be lean and fit again

Thanks, yeah thinking about it, that makes sense. Idk why my low back is hurting from push day lol. But I have a herniated low back so its not unexpected. Just been extra careful not to involve it but somehow it still gets tagged sometimes.

I do Push-Legs-Pull on repeat.  You might be sore but the movement patterns are all different and shouldn't really interfere. That's the whole benefit of this system.

Ah so 3-4 work outs a week? Seems like a good balance to let body heal. I’m finding it hard to find time to go on off days. So I cram stuff into 2-3 day bursts.

I like PPL program.

Same day. I try to focus all my arm work at the same time and rotate.

Trying to do compound movements yeah. Been isolating muscle by groups but am finding that compound targets it all while giving the body enough to heal. Definitely need to integrate lighter stuff and focus on range of motion. Thank you ser.

Are you doing compound movements? I do mostly body weight and compound weighted exercises so I often find that a day in between push/pull is good to give my shoulders, forearms, and joints time to recover. My in between day is usually yoga and mobility — light stuff focused on range of motion.

Tbh I do legs everyday I work out, whether it be cardio or some body weight squats/lunges or quad extension or hamstring pullbacks. So it’s really just push/leg and pull/leg for me hahah. It’s better than when I used to do full body 100% energy every day until fatigue. Broke my body and took months to recover

Yeah I was just reading another comment that made me think about what I’m doing and how I can improve. Thank you!

Yes, alternating each workout on repeat.

There can be a little cross over which is okay. For instance, you might work lats a little bit from pull-ups as well as from benching which is okay. It's only really a big deal if it's working large muscle groups from compound lifts which is usually counter productive.

A man of consistency. On your leg days is it more so a slight rest day for you? Or do you just grind out 6/7 days of gym a week?

yes. 
day 01 push
day 02 pull
day 03 legs
rest
repeat.

i know that i know nothing. thinking out loud in /quezt while listening to /hiphop.

Mmm goals is to just attain a slim thick figure. No love handles would be nice. 

To me it’s a ton of cardio but I try to go for half an hour if inclined treadmill

i usually run 2 days on, 1 day off cycles. i go about 4-5 days a week, but i integrate stretching and mobility work on the days i feel sore.

what are your goals tho? how much is “a shit ton of cardio?”

Thanks ser, yeah I need to optimize my days but it’s been getting harder to squeeze in a solid session so I just fit it in whenever I can. Sometimes just full body

i’d always strive for at least 1 day of rest btw sessions

especially if you’d later switch to using weights, builds a good habit in advance

personally am doing pull ups on Mon and push ups on Fri

Interested to see what goes on around here

Ah so every time you do a gym sesh you give it your all? I often go to fatigue but not anywhere near where I need 3 days of rest to recover, although 2 days is like a sweet spot for me

I now give myself 3 days between push day and pull day because I was feeling that same type of exhaustion. Lifts are a lot stronger now.

I did push day today and tomorrow is back so it’ll be a pull day

I recently started with that routine a little sore but every effort always has its reward

Split days, so 4 a week but two days are heavy and two days are light with higher reps.  Works for me.  I’m playing a ton of tennis working legs and doing cardio all over the place during the week so these are the only consistent things in my schedule

I’ve been doing PPL for years. Tried pretty much everything else, this is by far the one that works best for me. 

The big advantage is that you can pretty much always work out. Even if you’re sore, you are using different muscle groups, so there’s no interference.

I do Push, pull, legs then repeat and take a day off on the 7th day. I’ll sometimes go lighter if I’m feeling gnar or take extra days off. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. Do what lets you be consistent

Immediately follow up with a pull session the next day. Event though your sore you’re walking a different muscle group a different way
