I’ve said in previous videos that Push Pull Legs is the best training split for building muscle. But Full Body workouts are another popular choice for beginner weight lifters. One of the main benefits of doing PPL is it allows you to train each muscle twice a week and rest each muscle 72 hours between workouts. But what if you only lift weights three days a week?
In that case, I don’t think Push Pull Legs is the best option. Full body workouts are the most flexible since you can do any exercise on any day. Doing Full Body 3 days a week makes it simple to target each muscle as often as you’d like. But with the added flexibility of this routine, there’s more to keep track of to achieve a balanced physique.
When doing PPL, you don’t have to worry about what exercises to choose because you’re essentially doing the same handful of exercises every time, depending on which day it is. It’s not as straightforward with a Full Body plan. By combining the flexibility of a Full Body routine to the structure of Push Pull Legs, you can keep a consistent rotation of exercises and spread the work evenly across all the muscle groups.
