Mastering the Push-Pull-Legs Split
Why the PPL split remains the gold standard for muscle growth and strength development. We break down the ultimate 6-day routine.
Chest Monday. Back Tuesday. The time-tested bodybuilding split. Does it still work?
The bro split has built more physiques than any other approach. One body part per day, maximum pump, maximum focus. Critics say it's low frequency—but the results speak for themselves.
Dedicate entire sessions to single muscle groups for deep stimulation.
20+ sets per body part when you have the whole day for one muscle.
Easy to remember, easy to follow, easy to track.
While frequency is lower (once a week), the "Bro Split" maximizes *intra-session volume*. **Metabolic Stress:** By hammering one muscle for 45 minutes, you create immense metabolic stress and cell swelling (the Pump), which is a key driver of hypertrophy. RepLog captures this by tracking your "Volume Density"—how much work you did in a specific timeframe for that specific muscle.
