How is a push-pull program better than a brospit?
>>
you work everything twice a week

protein synthesis lasts up to 48 hours so if you hit something every third day it's never not growing

right senpai?
>>

Gotta confuse the body, right babe?
>>
>>36940735
this
>>
>>36940764
He's right tho
>>
>>36940735

He's right, however an upper/lower split is even better than push/pull.
>>
>>36940780
I agree with this. Been doing most u/l since starting. I'm on Candito 6 week and it's been phenomenal.
>>
>>36940818

Easily one of the best advanced beginner/early intermediate programs there is.
>>
>>36940780
Upper/Lower=more leg volume
Push/Pull=more upper body volume
>>
>>36940854
I don't know if I'm still early intermediate any more, I'll be squatting 500 in a few weeks
>>
I do phat with just dumbbells and machines since I'm a useless cripple who can't barbell squat, barbell row,dead lift or clean bc sciatica and I make good gains

If you're not familiar it's

Upper/Lower/Rest/Back&Shoulders/Legs/Chest&Arms/Rest/Repeat.

>>36940711
I've run a ppl for about a year, here are some pros and cons

Pros:
build evenly,
easy to get a workout done in about an hour,
If you can hit 6x a week nice progress,
works well with a hyperthrophy program

Cons:
lack of progress if less than 6x a week,
It gets kinda old fast,
push is usually chest, shoulders and triceps, really you need to toss shoulders to leg day to even out the lengths of time you are in the gym each day
Your big 3 wont progress like a strength program

Full body powerlifting routines >>> meme splits
>>
>>36940989

But senpai, c6w is a powerlifting program AND an U/L split.
>>
>>36940989

Very few powerlifting programs are actually full body.

OP HUR.
I see your guys logic, but riddle me this:
"Literally every big guy I know just does a brospit. "
>>
>>36940966
I just add plenty of abs, calves and forearms on the leg day. Gotta get dat dragonball tier physique training forearms and calves cray cray
>>
>>36941032

And how many of them are on gear?

Steroids both increase the length of the elevated protein synthesis and how much you can gain per workout.
>>
>>36941032

Steroids. The biggest, most shredded dude at my gym does a brosplit. He also uses steroids. That or those dudes have been lifting for years and most people will make progress in spite of programming, not because of it.
>>
>>36941091
>>36941086
Could be, but also the only ppl I know useing push-pull are dyel faggits who fall for all the other fitness memes.

I have never in my life seen anyone mention a PPL. Every normie is like "brosplit 8-12 reps muscle confusion LOL"
When I tell people I'm doing a PPL I have to explain what it means, even.

upper / lower split four days a week is GOAT.
>>
>>36940818
>>36940854
I'd never heard of this. Just looked it up and it's extremely similar to my existing U/L. I'm gonna change my program up to fit this regimen
thanks anons
>>
It should allow for faster progress.
>>
>>36941032
Because every big guy does shitloads of volume on their brosplit.
When you do 10 exercises with 8-15 reps and go to failure each time, everything just hurts.
Bodybuilders go for "the burn" for a reason.

But do you want to be a bodybuilder?

If you want to get really big, sure, do a brosplit with 15 exercises from all different angles and go for "the burn".

But if you want to be strong, healthy, athletic and reasonably big, do a balanced program with proper progression and focus on the main compound lifts.

It all depends on your goals.
And even if some people might start and think "I'm going to be a bodybuilder", we still tell them to do SS or SL, simply because we know that most people actually don't want to become bodybuilders and simply want to be strong, healthy and good looking.
Some might like it so much that they go into powerlifting, but the majority of lifters are just recreational lifters that do it to be healthier.

And a Upper/Lower split is the best way for a natty recreational lifter to train.
>>
>>36940711
It's not. All depends on your goals and current fitness level.

A: squats, bench, OHP 3x5 - dips, triceps extensions, lateral raises 3x10

B: weighted chinups, rows 3x5 - deadlifts 3x3 - pullups, curls 3x10

AxBxAxBxA

tell me whats wrong with this routine /fit/

made amazing gains and really helped me progress in strength and size.
yes its upper body focussed but i squat 3pl8 for reps now and my legs and ass are already big enough so fuck that
>>
Can someone post their upper day routine? I do alternate 3 back and 3 chest with shoulders at the end. It kills me. I can't find a decent routine online.

100% true.

Sometimes a normie DYEL will do some retarded fad program, but almost every DYEL I see in the gym does a brosplit or just random shit with too much weight and poor form.
>>
>>36940711
A rose by any other name
>>
>>36946224
Nothing really. Would probably throw away tri extensions and pullups, as they are pretty redundant.

Upper lower rest push pull rest rest.

>brospit
ofc broswallows are more economical and efficient. plus if your balding, acne-ridden gymbro bf can do a brosplit and see results because of the roids, his loads must be anabolic, like the rest of his existence. if his load is anabolic, you should swallow and get those fraud gains
