A push pull legs (PPL) split is a type of resistance training program that is commonly used by bodybuilders and other fitness enthusiasts to build strength and muscle mass. It is called a split because it divides the exercises into different groups, which are then trained on separate days.
The program is structured so that one day is dedicated to "pushing" exercises, another day is dedicated to "pulling" exercises, and a third day is dedicated to "leg" exercises. Push exercises are those that involve pushing weight away from the body, such as bench presses, shoulder presses, and tricep dips. Pull exercises involve pulling weight towards the body, such as pull-ups, rows, and bicep curls. Leg exercises focus on the lower body, including squats, lunges, and calf raises.
By separating the exercises into these groups, the PPL split allows for more efficient training and greater recovery time for each muscle group. For example, after a push day, the muscles used for pushing can rest and recover while the pulling muscles are trained the following day.
The PPL split is also flexible, allowing individuals to adjust the program to their own needs and goals. For example, some may choose to include more or less exercises for each muscle group, or adjust the frequency of each day depending on their recovery ability.
Overall, the PPL split is a popular and effective training program for building strength and muscle mass. It can be tailored to suit individual needs and goals and provides efficient training and recovery time for each muscle group.
I also cover off a bit about the bro split and the full body training split.
I hope you enjoy!
