Real Results 3 Day Push Pull Legs Workout

by Bendthebar

This workout is for the trainee who absolutely refuses to use a fullbody-style workout for whatever reason. It is a simple push, pull, legs split. The workout layout is as follows:

• Monday – Push
• Wednesday – Pull
• Friday – Legs

Legs may also be worked on Saturday if the trainee prefers to have an extra day in between deadlift and squat workout days.

Push Workout

• Bench Press 3 x 10
• Dumbbell or Incline Bench Press 3 x 10
• Seated Overhead Press 3 x 10
• Dips 3 x 10
• Weighted Situps 3 x 10-25

Pull Workout

• Deadlifts 3 x 5
• Dumbbell or Barbell Rows 3 x 10
• Pull Ups 3 x 10
• Power Shrugs 3 x 10
• Planks 3 x 60 seconds

Legs Workout

• Squats 3 x 10
• Romanian Deadlifts 3 x 10
• Front Squats 3 x 10
• Leg Curls 3 x 10-15
• Calf Riase 3 x 10-20

You could also presumably still work Mon/Wed/Fri and just rotate the days to a Pull/Push/Legs order to give extra time between Deads and Squats and still leave weekends free if you wanted to

Exactly. Lately, I have been structuring these style of workouts as follows:

--Legs
--Push
--Pull

Most of us get quality leg DOMS after squatting so it's always good to maximize recovery before deadlifts.
