I see the P/P/L split is very popular these days

I am back doing a tried and tested routine that many do and served me well years back.

Starting off with the classic:

Monday- Chest
Tuesday- Back
Wednesday- Shoulders
Thursday- Arms
Friday- Legs
Weekends- REST

Some Sunday mornings I can’t help myself and will go with my eldest and just do some bits and pieces such as Traps, Abs and calves

What are you guys currently doing?

I'm not as strict as i used to be tho, I used to be real anal about my training and getting food in now I'm a little more laid back. If I feel like a day off I'll have a day off.


Mon - Chest
Tue - Shoulders
Wed - Biceps/Triceps
Thur - Shoulders
Fri - Chest
Sun - Back/Legs

I'm stuck in the same old routine that's not changed much for me over the last 30 years! Each body part twice a week - back/chest, shoulders/arms and legs occasionally but not as often as I'd like. I'll never compete, just train for myself. Looking at the above it seems that training each bodypart just once a week is now popular. Any of you seeing similar gains or do you do it to save time? I'm looking to change my routine around a bit when I start a new cycle in a couple of weeks. Push/pull/legs was planned but now this once a week each muscle group has my interest ..

I like volume training so each bodypart once a week 🤔

I prefer one body part per week. Gives the body part that bit more rest time to recover & grow.
Works for me.

I fit my training in around how many days off work I've got..
My usual is

Chest Back
Shoulders Arms
Legs

But if I can split it up a bit more I will.. the shoulders and arms is a long session.. especially if fitting some cardio in too.
I like to split the leg day into 2 also.. quads then hammys and calves.

PPL, 6 days per week currently. Using Justin Harris' template.

Monday - rest
Tuesday - Push, chest dominant, lower tricep volume
Wednesday - Legs, hamstring dominant, 1 quad exercise for 1 set to failure
Thursday - Pull, width focused
Friday - Push, shoulder dominant, higher tricep volume
Saturday - Legs, quad dominant with 1 hamstring exercise for 2 sets to failure
Sunday - Pull, thickness focused

Abs after push and pull. Cardio 5x per week coming out of a diet phase.
