Do legs push pull. Day off then do a full body all compound movements and recover on weekend, works a treat

[dezh]

I literally had this same question in mind yesterday, wow

[limitisillusion]

I like to replace leg day with a full body workout in a push/pull/legs routine. I give a few extra days of recovery afterwards. The PPL routine has all the accessories and the full body is just heavy lifts and bodyweight stuff. It the main reason I like it is because it keeps the routine fresh.

[georgeperez]

Personally loving the Push Pull Legs Routine💥

[allentaulbee]

law of accomodation change everything every week and attack weak points use diferent bars add bands and so mch variation when you go bck to the core lifts you see true strenthg gains but thats just what has worked for me

[IYgoob]

I do full body on monday and wednesday and then upper on friday and lower on saturday.

[bmbm]

Damn that's so cool to just send him a program, awesome

[pinky]

I’m from Birmingham!! And Dorian Yates gym is 15 minutes from my house and I never even knew 😂😂😂

[ericcox]

That’s sounds great. I think I’m going to try a program like you said to the young man!!!! Thanks

[corryface]

Good lad Sean, i like a leg burn once a week too. I have maps aesthetic there, yet to give it a rip tho for this reason, good luck fella

[deltalordtrading]

What about a Full Body on Monday, Push on Wednesday and a Pull(and legs) on Thursday? All muscle groups still getting hit 2 times a week.

[Collinzmusic]

No reason why you can't do full body and then using some machines afterwards. Maybe it's wrong to say that but I always want to give my all when doing my workout. That has worked for me for a good while and it makes doing my work easier. I would always have the same full body workout but would change what area I would train after the full body workout to a different machine and would rep it out.

I’m thinking about switching from a full body 3 day split to a 4 day push/pull split since I also play basketball 1-2 times a week and would like to switch it up a bit because I always have to have a rest day after full body, but not necessarily after a push or pull. Any advice?

[jeweltan]

really resonated with the part - have someone to create the program for you and follow it through, bc when you do stuff on your own you do tend to gravitate back to old habits and training patterns, along those lines... - I always tend to gravitate to old patterns aaaa

[thomasoakley]

Dorian's original gym closed a while ago, ended up finding the place accidently when doing Christmas shopping (old signs still up) and literally froze 🤣

[danielandrews]

I really want to start one of your programs but I have hip issues (full replacement) and it limits me with squats, deadlift and leg press. If I'm following a program how could I substitute these exercises?
I tend to do heavy Sledge Push and pulls, morning lifts and Bulgarian squats.

This is the only thing that's stopping me purchasing a program

[eyemissmyunclecharles]

That guy who asked the question is what Redditors look like

[monsieur]

I have a 5 day split program 4th being legs and 5th day arms. Im obesed currently 293 used to be 350. Should i stick with the 5 day split because lately i just do based off how i feel the day today was arms and traps

[tonyvee]

He wont last doing fullbody. Guys that love body splits and jump to fullbody they will go back in a week
