Is this split any good? PPL x Arnold

[lchelling1029]

I've been going to the gym consistently for a couple of months now doing Cbum's 6-day PPL split from this video

and I overall enjoy it and feel like I've seen decent progress. Recently I've decided I wanted to try something new so with the help of chat gpt and incorporating some of the lifts from the video I came up with this PPL x Arnold split. I'm curious if anyone had any suggestions on how to improve it or if it's overall good?

Also curious to hear if people like doing all the lifts for a body part first and then switching to a different body part or rotating to a different body part each exercise?

@lchelling1029 no. get a proper program for your level bro most of volume you do is meaningless probably

 

[kebo]

@lchelling1029 Not for you. Six months of lifting isn’t a good point to be trying to copy the routine of a professional, PED-using, ultra-successful bodybuilder.

Stick with something that’s actually designed for beginners.

@lchelling1029 Respectfully, that sucks

 

[533th3r]

@krispablos Yeah agree. The further I read the more i realize it sucks. The calves "bounce reps to failure" is one of the most stupid things I've seen in all these "programs" posted here.

@lchelling1029 After 2 years of doing just a bro split, I switched to just this PPL program CBUM shared in this specific video 4 months ago. I've made some tweaks with changing out exercises or volume and I've seen significant improvements in strength in a shorter amount of time compared to my first 24 months with bro splits.

What you have going there it's just complicating it

Just to note, the exercises listed in each image aren't programmed statically. For example I alternate my squats and DL on 2nd leg day; DL one week, squat the next. Some pull days I choose to do barbell back rows, and I alternate between supinated and pronated grips. My push days tend to be the most static
