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

  • 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.

    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 роки тому +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

    • @mindbodyprime
      @mindbodyprime  Рік тому +1

      you're welcome! if you only have 3 days per week, I would actually do full body 3x/week or an upper/lower hybrid and try to spread out the work evenly between each muscle group. For example, Monday I would do heavy upper body as the main workout with one or two leg exercises at the end. Wednesday I would do full body evenly and go a little lighter on everything. Friday I would do heavy lower body as the main workout with one or two upper body exercises at the end. Just as an example, good question

      I’m going to make a push pull legs part 2 video, but to answer your question I think a good way to fit in cardio would be on your rest days. So if you’re doing:
      three days on, one day rest, two days on, one day rest in that order, you’re doing cardio either once or twice per week on your rest days.
