Is training 6 days a week too much?
>>
Depends. If you manage it correctly.
Personally I like PPLPPL_
>>
>>74114712
It depends.
What are your goals, how long have you trained and how, what else do you have going on other than the gym, and how hard will you go, with what kind of split, and is there going to be a periodization for frequency too?
>>
>>74114747
why do people do PPLPPL_ rather than PPL_PPL_
>>
>>74114712
no, do more

it depends, but you need to hit and heal everything on this meantime anyway so personally I do brosplit
>>
Babby's first training, you will get burned out anyway. So your "6 days a week training" will become 5 and then 4 and then 3. So no is not too much since you wont keep it up for a long time.
>>
>>74114712

Depends on routine. If (You) are isolating and groups get rest on days in-between, then yes, that is OK.
>>
>>74114765
I like my routine aligned to weeks.
>>
train 7 times a week with 2 hours of sleep. embrace bootcamp conditioning ya fag
>>
>>74114712
it's good for getting tendonitis or joint issues for minimal gains.
>>
>>74114806
That's why I opted for PPL_PP_
>>
>>74114712
PPL? Hope you don't end up skipping the leg days like me. No it's not too much, "science-based" training encourages targetting the same group of muscles twice a week for maximum gains
>>
I tried PPLPPLx, it was way too much volume for me. I put on more muscle with 3-4x/week.
>>
i don't have a routine i just go to gym and train the body part that isn't sore
for example i do forearms, rear delts and calves daily
they're only sore during the day and fine the next day again
biceps can be trained every two to three days, same for side delts
chest, quads, glutes and triceps around 4-5 days of rest
hammies 7-10 days
etc
>>
>>74114712
If each muscle is able to recover between subsequent workouts then no
If you're going backwards or wheel spinning then maybe, or maybe you just aren't doing enough in each workout
>>
>>74114786
Ive been doing for 7 years. Youre projecting your own problems

Who that

>>74114712
what are you training, your asshole?
>>
>>74114712
beginners can do full body 6 times a week just fine for at least a year
which is more than enough time for you to figure out by yourself how to keep going 6 times a week but without wrecking your intermediate shit

I do
PPL_PPL_
I alternate very heavy low volume days (1) with high volume accessory/mobility days (2)
So it really looks like
P1P2L1_P2P1L2_
I get a little confused sometimes, but having half my workouts be devoted to accessories and mobility has made my heavy lifts so much more comfortable and stable.

I wanted to do push-pull-leg-pull-push… to fix my keyboard warrior hunchback. Is this a bad idea?

They actually give you a decent amount of sleep.
>>
>>74115352
Pure gym bro energy.
>>
>>74114712

My plan is to train fullbody high volume every 4 days, so

Lift > rest > cardio > sport > repeat

>ULULULx
training legs 3x a week is bonkers, do you actually do heavy leg stuff on all 3 days?

>>74114712
i train anywhere from 3.5-5 times a week, depends on outside-the-gym factors. its inconsistent which i know is stupid but im tracking progress on all my lifts regardless
i sometimes do ULAx, sometimes UxFullbody (focus on legs but i also do sth like cg bench/pulldowns for example), sometimes i dont do accessoires for arms on upper days and i dont do them on legs, if i dont have time or energy i might do a seperate arms day etc.
i prefered the having set days per week to train on but i needed more flexibility due outside stressors playing too big of a role sometimes
>>
>>74115352
It's a good workout routine after you have at least a couple of years under your belt
Without tracking or progressing you'll just go around in circles
>>
>>74115352
Same dude. This is the only way I actually enjoy training.
>>
>>74114712
it doesn't matter, depends on your weekly volume and the training frequency for each muscle. I prefer short workouts and no rest days, because they throw me out of the groove and I start skipping workouts, so I usually run a single compound (bench, squat, row, OHP, deadlift variation, usually trap bar or RDL, pull up) and an isolation exercise (curls, dips, something for abs, obliques and calves) per workout. if I can only workout 3 days per week for some time, I just merge 2 workouts together and it's the same shit

that's a wierd way to spell month

>>74114712
Yes. There's no reason you can't just fit it i to 3-4 days. Why waste time at the gym?
