Jeff Nippard has recently presented a truly impressive Push, Pull, Legs routine. The popular bodybuilder and trainer, Nippard has helped a great deal of people with his knowledge and information. His recent video gives an in-depth look at what he deems the smartest Push, Pull, Legs routine.
Push, Pull, Legs. It’s a training split that has garnered a ton of praise from bodybuilders in recent years. The program is a pretty simplistic one. Essentially each portion of the split is broken up in a way that will allow the user to work every body part while at the same time giving enough time to recover from each separate day.
Push
Push days encourages the user to perform pushing exercises. This means the focus can be on chest, arms, and shoulders depending on the exercises used. For example, the bench press is push exercise that focuses much of the attention on the chest and triceps. Another push exercise would be dips again focusing on the triceps.
Pull
On pull days the emphasis is on pulling exercises. Pulling exercises can work the back, the biceps/arms, and the shoulders. Essentially the biggest difference here is that the exercises are much more focused on the back. While the arms and shoulders still get a great deal of attention the back is definitely the centerpiece.
Legs
Lastly there are leg days which switch up the focus to leg exercises. This means anything from working the quads with squats to the posterior chain including the hamstrings and glutes with the deadlift.
