The push-pull-legs (PPL) routine involves performing the chest, triceps, and shoulder exercises on push day; back, biceps, and posterior delt exercises on pull day; and quad, hamstring, glute, and calf workouts on leg day.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Should You Train Six Times a Week?

Yes, working out six times a week is fine as long as you follow a well-structured split routine and consume a balanced diet.

A good workout routine should be designed in a way that allows your muscles a decent recovery time (48 hours) between two sessions.

However, if you feel cramps in your muscles, reduce the frequency or pause your training until you’re ready to resume.

Can You Build Muscle with Only Bodyweight?

Yes, bodyweight exercises help build lean mass and improve body composition. However, if you have been working out for a while, building muscle with only bodyweight exercises will be challenging. So, it is best to start lifting weights if you want to take your strength and physical appearance to the next level.

I’m a Beginner. Can I Follow This Routine?

This program includes some intermediate-level exercises which can be challenging for beginners. I suggest you perform these beginner-level exercises before you begin this 6 day push pull legs bodyweight routine.
