PTraining

PPL split

A programme organised into push, pull and legs sessions.

Also known as: push pull legs, PPL

A programme organised into push, pull and legs sessions.

Why PPL split matters

PPL can distribute substantial weekly volume, but the rotation must match available training days and recovery.

A practical example

Push trains pressing muscles, pull trains back and biceps, and legs trains the lower body.

Common mistake

Assuming PPL must be performed six days per week despite an inconsistent schedule.

Keep the context in mind.

Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.

Personalised coaching

Apply the principle to your own training.

A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
