Push Pull Lower - A/B (6X/week)

Hypertrophy Coach

Coach
Joe Bennett

Push pull legs has been around forever, and it is still here for a reason. It just usually gets run badly.

Push Pull Lower A/B is the classic split written properly. Six days, every body part trained one to two times a week, with a sane number of exercises in every session.

It runs an A/B rotation: two versions of each day, so Push A and Push B are different workouts. The volume is deliberately moderate to low, which is what makes six days sustainable instead of punishing.

No junk volume. No random exercises.

Just the split everybody already knows, built the way it should have been.

Every Body Part, One To Two Times
Push, pull and lower twice each across six days. Every body part gets trained one to two times a week, which is the frequency most people actually grow on.
benefit-image-1
Moderate Volume, Not Punishing
Six days only works if each session is sane. The volume here is deliberately moderate to low, so you finish the week able to train rather than needing to recover from it.
benefit-image-2
Two Versions Of Every Day
Push A and Push B are different workouts, and the same goes for pull and lower. Six days, six distinct sessions, so nothing gets hammered the same way twice.
benefit-image-3
A Reasonable Number Of Exercises
Not redundant, and not so long you dread it. Each session has enough to provide real stimulus for an advanced lifter without turning into a two hour block.

Built In Logbook
Progression is planned, not guessed. Every lift is tracked, and your lifetime lift history is one tap away, so you always know exactly what you have to beat.

What are you waiting for?

Push pull legs is the split everyone has tried. Very few people have run a version that was actually written properly. Six days, moderate volume, two versions of every session. This is that plan.

FAQs
Who is this program best for?
Advanced through beginner. PPL scales well because the volume stays moderate, so it is efficient for pretty much anyone who has six days a week to train.
What is the A/B rotation?
For each day of the split there are two versions. Push A and Push B, Pull A and Pull B, Lower A and Lower B. You never repeat a session inside a week.
How is this different from PPL Single?
Same six days, same split. This one gives you six distinct sessions, the Single version repeats three. More variety here, simpler tracking there. Pick whichever you will enjoy more.
Do I need a full gym?
A commercial gym is ideal. At minimum you need barbells, dumbbells and a cable stack. Machines make some of the work better but almost everything has a free weight alternative you can swap in.
