Push / Pull / Legs (PPL)

By u/Metallicadpa · r/Fitness · Intermediate · 6× / week · Ongoing · Full gym

High-frequency hypertrophy

The popular six-day push/pull/legs split: each muscle group is trained twice a week. Main lifts use heavier 5×5 work, accessories run higher reps for volume. Pure size and a great intermediate workhorse.
