PPL vs. PHUL
You are currently reading a thread in /fit/ - Fitness
Does /fit/ recommend PPL or PHUL for someone lifting for aestheics? I'm on PPL right now and enjoying gains, but I feel like I'm missing hypertrophy in my workouts. My numbers are shit btw, but tbqh I'm not incredibly worried about the 1000 lb club or 1/2/3/4 etc.

When you say ppl, do you mean pplxppl or pxpxlxx. I think if you can handle it. A 6 day split of ppl is better but if you mean three days you're better off with phat.

Sorry phul not phat

So basically you're asking if the volume done in 4 (UL) or 5-6 (PPL) workouts is higher
Dunno, let me get my calculator

The volume is higher in PHUL. lots more exercises.
Is PPLPPLx the best routine for hypertrophy?

OP here, I don't think so, that's why I'm asking. I love that it's built around compounds, but so is PHUL. big difference is that PHUL has more exercises, especially isolations.

>higher in PHUL
>comparing something that exists to something that doesn't
>implying you can't split the U exercises of PHUL into PP and add some more since you get double the training time (2 sessions vs 1) with the same number of rest days between body parts

I don't really know what you think doesn't exist in either of these programs
unless I make my own program and inevitably fuck it to hell, PPL only recommends about 2, maybe 3 exercises per muscle group.

What about GVT?
