Your take on push/pull/legs?!

Hey guys just wanting to see what some of y'all think of push,pull,legs for mass building

Push is chest/shoulders/triceps
Pull is back/biceps
Legs is well legs

Usually I have seen it ran on a 3 on 1 off and reapeat or just ran once a week each

I have ran it and liked it as I was able to hit muscle more frequenlty.
However I feel like the shoulders get less work as they are already fatigued and u can't use as much weight same for triceps akd biceps some they are already gasse by the end of the workout. But them again for size wieght isn't critical as long as u are fatiguing that muscle.

Just curious as to what u guys think
 
I did it that way for many years. Since I like to work out every day with no scheduled rest days (I get my breaks when traveling), I split out shoulders into a separate day. That separates back and legs, which have an unavoidable degree of overlap if you dealift.
So my cycle of workouts looks like:

Chest (triceps, abs)
Back (deadlift every second back day)
Shoulders (shorter workout)
Legs

and repeat without regard to day of week.
 
U got a lot of threads going about push/pull. U got even more going about training advice. Just go lift...

When u did push would u do it all in order? Ie all chest then delts them triceps?
I've seen some guys alternate chest then shoulder and triceps at the end

Yes, although I often found my shoulders (especially front delts) were already so taxed from chest that I couldn't work them as hard as I would like, hence my new routine.
Also, after doing weighted dips, pullovers, close grip bench, etc. I usually feel no need to do tricep isolation exercises.
 
True. Tricep are hit hard those exercise for sure
I feel like push/pull/legs is for mass in the novice level not for advanced bodybuilders at all.
Also shoulders are hit fairly hard on most chest exercises I was considering I military and just lTeral raises and upright rows or something. All presses for chest bench,incline dips etc all his delts hard
 
I'm trying to focus more on rear delts when working shoulders, definitely have an imbalance going. I don't target traps either, they seem to grow enough as it is.
 
Would it be better to just do push/pull/cardio rest then repeat
Or do this
Push # 1
Pull # 1
Cardio
Rest
Push #2
Pull#2
Rest or cardio

Almost same but rather do two different push and two different pull workouts
Each week?

I can't train legs now as I'm resting an injuring s1 joint in the back so I not doing any legs
Will add them back in shortly

Ps when If I do the cycle push/pull/cardio I will
I will keep the routine the same but change reps and weight

If I do second option push 1 akd 2 will he entirely diff routines
And will change reps and weight on a weekly basis
I do rep waves on a weekly basis
 
Lou you have a crapload of threads regarding the same thing, if you want to find out if a certain method of training is good or bad for yourself, try it and form your own opinion on it. Advice from someone else will only go so far, hit the iron and see what you like and what works, plain and simple.
 
True I mean it doesn't hurt to get advice my take is someone out there also knows better or at least may have. Better idea. I'm just brainstorming new sits I've pretty much everything i can't think of
Push pull legs does work well for me def better than 5 day split typical bro split

It doesn't hurt to do others peoples idea does it?
Obviously only I can know what works for me and what doesn work
 
All im sayin is best way to find out if something works or not is to go do it. Trial and error. What works for me might not work for you and visa versa.
 
Just givin you some advice, been doing this a while. Whatever new thing you come across go try it man. Everything works like i said before, do it till it stops working and move to something else. Ive tried a ton of different methods of training, threw away what i didnt like and kept what i did!
 
I think I'll just go with the 3 day on 1 off repeat the cycle keep the workout the same for mos part. Change reps each cycle though. Drop reps bump the wieght up.

Push/pull/legs(cardio until back heals). Rest and then repeat
Cycle 1 4x12
Cycle 2 4x10
Cycle 3 4x8
Cycle 4 4x6
Re start with heavier wieght same compound lifts but diff accessory lifts or complete diff routines

Push
Bench 4 sets
Incline 4 sets
Dips 4 sets
Military press 4
Lateral raise superset ez bar upright row
Skullcrushers
Straight bar tricep pushdown

Pull
Seated cable row v handle
Lat pulldown
Db row
Neutral lat pulldown. V handle
Db curls
Preacher curl

Cardio
Abs first then either 45min steady moderate intensity cardio
Or sprints at a stadium flat, hill and stairs

May throw light legs of back can handle
I may even do 10x10 sqauts 155 light wieght but at least get some leg work in and this is conditioning


Any feedback suggestions etc
I feel like I need I add a chest isolation movement in or more shoulder work
What do u think
 
Looks perfectly reasonable. Maybe add something for rear delts and substitute bent arm pullovers for the skullcrushers (almost same motion and same bar, but finish behind/below head instead of at forehead). I like chin-ups. Pull-ups hurt my forearms these days.
 
I never do read delt work and they are actually in proportion to the rest off delts. Don't rows hit them?

So do pullovers instead of skullcrushers? Aren't those for chest? Ya they hit triceps but just to stabilize right?

I'll probably add pull ups and v handle pull ups as I drops reps but I can't do 4x12 pull ups with good slow tempo and squeezing my lats after hitting heavy rows. I would have to kip

I can do 23 chin ups marine style and probably 18-20 wide overhand pull ups without stopping but the tempo isn't ideal for me. I wanna focus on mind muscle slow it down so I use lat pulldown at the 4x12
