Title: push pull split
Post by: overcome on July 24, 2007, 08:22:01 AM

it was time to change up my workout again and i was looking into different things and came across the push pull split theory.  the idea is that you do all you pushing or extending excersises one day and all your pulls the next then rest and repeat.  the workout goes something like this.

push day-squats/or leg press, bench, calves, military press, lunges, dips, leg ext, tris.

pull day-deads, pull ups, bent over rows, leg curls, pull downs, seated rows, bi's.

what do you guys think of something like this?

I like it, I've posted a very similar routine a few months back, I'll try to find it.

Here's an example:

You could do an Upper Body day and Lower Body Day, rinse and repeat.

or

You could do two pushing workout and two pulling workouts.  Each workout would be a fullbody workout involving all your pushing muscles one day and all your pulling muscles the other day.

Push Day 1

Squats
Leg Press
Bench Press
French Press

Pull Day 1

Deadlifts
Hamstring Curls
Seated Rows
BB Curls

Push Day 2

Hack Squats
Military Press
DB Presses
Dips

Pull Day 2

High Pulls/Upright Rows
DB Rows
Pullups
Hammer Curls
