Anyone done PPL once a week with success?

@pinetowntree So you are saying do a rotation of push one day, then pull the next and also do legs on both of those days?

I.e
monday: push/legs

Wed: pull/legs

Fri: push/legs

Mon: pull/legs
 
@amanda11 No. Let's say it's MWF.

M: Push and Legs.

W: Legs and Pull.

F: Pull and Push.

or

M: Push, pull, legs

W: Push, pull, legs

F: Push, pull, legs

Just divide up the exercises you train in a sensible way.
 
@darksoul999 I’m still new to lifting, I was doing three sessions per week with a trainer for 8 months. Now I’m working out on my own and I tried to do Reddit PPL but 6 days/week just seems impossible if I want to be able to walk and move around the rest of the time. So at least for right now, I’m back to 3/week.
 
@jbwalker Why not go in between? Nothing is stopping you from doing PPL 4-5 times per week. It's called an asynchronous split, where your schedule doesn't "fit" in a week. Just take a rest day when you need one and you can work out as often as you want
 
@jbwalker I would jump off PPL and move to an upper lower split with a rest day in the middle. I went from a full body 3x a week and increased my days by 1. I just got used to that, now I have increased to 5 days without adding a crazy amount of fatigue. Usually the day I added became a small muscle/low fatigue muscles day. It still allows for recovery and I can get a pump in my biceps and calves.
 
@mrdj204 I’m looking to find the right balance between BJJ and lifting right now. Im not necessarily looking to become stronger, but lose fat to show my huge muscles, ha. So BJJ 3 times a week and only doing push pull legs once a week each is enough for you?
