After 10+ years of lifting weights and trying a million different routines I have come to the conclusion that PPL (Pull, Push, Legs) is the best routine for Hypertrophy, and is also the best version of the PPL routine.

OP here I'm trans btw, does that matter?
Trans lives don’t matter
You can't call him a tranny if hes right.
I don't even know how to get into weight lifting. But I've heard about PPL. I keep trying to figure out how to start, but I don't really know how to establish what weights I should be starting with.
Checked. Also, OP is right. If you look up a basic push, pull, legs routine and throw in some cardio, you'll be good.
Don't overthink it... Just start with the bar and add 5-10 pounds until you can't do more than 5 reps...
5 sets of 5 reps is the world's most common program for exercises
Don’t listen to this chud:
Trans people should supplement their protein shakes with about 200 finely ground apple seeds. They have bio active nutrients to help the HRT you’re on work with your exercise regiment.

>10+ years of lifting
Post body, I'm genuinely curious to see what 10yrs of natty ppl looks like.
I didnt do PPL for 10 years. Ive done a million different routines. Learn to read. I wasted many years doing shit that just didn't work.
>I didnt do PPL for 10 years
>I wasted many years doing shit that just didn't work.
So what makes you think ppl is going to work?
Because a few months of PPL has done more to change my body than YEARS of fucking around with Upper/Lower and Full-Body routines did.

Post body you lying homosexual.
Its not that much of a difference if you are not a complete brainlet, the way you split your training is by far not the most important training factor

>PPL is the best version of the PPL routine.
what?
Pull, Push, Legs is better than Push, Pull, Legs.
You can try it yourself and see why.
Shh, don't tell them. Anyone who actually lifts quickly comes to this conclusion.
"PPL" is the easiest way to out DYELs and non-lifters.
Why doesnt SwoleShack have thread IDs?
why dont you suck my dick?
Push Pull is the optimal routine
Squats go on push, deadlifts go on pull
>does squats tiring his entire body ruining the rest of his pushing exercises
>does deadlifts tiring his entire body think my the rest of his pulling exercises
You’re an idiot who clearly hasn’t actually tried doing Push/Pull because if you did you’d know having 2 heavy lower body compound lifts as your primary lifts on each day are going to completely ruin the rest of your workout. Hence why PPL exists, to seperate the Legs so you’re not exhausting yourself on those lifts before doing upper body exercises.
Is Stronglifts 5x5 a good program? reddit mods at r/fitness removed it saying it was bad
Lmao why? They used to be obsessed with that routine
That's why
No the beginner powerlifting-centric routines are horrible to start going to the gym for general fitness, athleticism, or aesthetics. They are precisely only for beginners who want to do powerlifting.
i honestly agree but i do full body 2x weekly because reasons
all that actually matters is your own motivation, consistency, and progressive overload
what are the body parts that are hit on push and pull days? I dont get it, so you do like one exercise per major body part or wtf
push is typically stuff like squat bench press
pull dead row chins
checked
To put it simply push muscles are pecs, triceps, delts. Pull muscles are lats, traps, biceps.
Imagine pushing a door open, think about what muscles you are using, eventually you will be able to feel the individual muscles. Do the same for a pull door.
I like how you didnt mention a single leg muscle
the question was
>what are the body parts that are hit on push and pull days?
Besides everyone know PPL stands for push pull leave
