Best Training Split: PUSH PULL LEGS for Beginners | How to Start

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
  • This video explains how to start a PUSH PULL LEGS routine for beginners and why it’s the best training split to build muscle. I talk about what the PUSH PULL LEGS routine is and how it’s different from other training splits.
    I came up with a simple system to plan and track your workouts to help you stay consistent with your weight lifting routine. This video shows you step by step how to create a workout plan that fits your schedule, how to make adjustments as you go, and different ways to customize your plan as you become more advanced.
    Because it’s a three day split, a PUSH PULL LEGS program allows you to train each muscle frequently enough (twice a week), while also giving each muscle time to recover for the next workout (at least 72 hours).
    I’ve been following a PUSH PULL LEGS training split for the past few years and got great results from it. Not only do I think it’s the best workout routine for beginners to build muscle, I also think it’s one of the most versatile and simple routines you can follow.

    Thanks mate. Physio told me today I haven't been recovering long enough with 'chest, back, shoulders, leg, rest' and recommended this split to help with shoulder pain.
    Keen to see it in action.

    Or even if you schedule 4 working days - Monday/Push, Tuesday/Pull, Wednsday/X, Thursday/Legs, Fraiday/Push, Saturday/X, Sunday/X, (then next Monday/Pull, so you basically rotate it) - you also hit the 2 days/week per muscle group

    I tend to do full body workouts at least 2-3 times a week since I’m busy with my thesis thus i need more recovery days. I miss training ppl but it wasn’t idea to me in the long run.

    • @mindbodyprime
      @mindbodyprime  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nothing wrong with doing full body. For hypertrophy (muscle building) I think it’s better to hit the muscle harder especially if you’re getting more advanced, so something like push pull legs allows for more volume. But since you need more recovery days full body sounds like a good fit

  • @DavidSanchez-cc7sq
    @DavidSanchez-cc7sq 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I been doing this split for years but find me working for almost 2 hrs trying to hit all the exercises for that muscle group , like I did push and hammered out alot of shoulders first since my chest is big already , I put in more volume but do light chest work, thanks for breaking it down, this I will try and start doing but find myself wanting to do alot with all the pre-workout supplements, but 2 hrs is too much for my age of 47, I want to cut it down to 1 and a half at least, thanx again and have a blessed day

    This is a logic flaw to saw starting with the day you work out it's twice a week. In order to really be twice a week, it has to also be twice a way from the day after the legs/push/pull were worked out last. It's actually only ~1.67 times a week.

    So will this workout split have you sore 24/7? That’s something I don’t look forward to. Say I do legs on the 1st do the other push pull days and legs again on the 5th. That’s enough time for the muscles to recover but is it also a small enough window for that recovery to happen but not be sore again?

    • @mindbodyprime
      @mindbodyprime  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      that's a good question. since you're a beginner, it really depends on where you're starting from. Some people can start doing 8 exercises in each workout, others might only be able to do 4 exercises. Lifting weights is good for losing weight, but adding cardio will make everything happen quicker. I would need to know more about your goals to give you more specific advice
