    Chiming in to say I noticed my best growth running something similar. It was one of the first programs I ran, so that could have played a factor, but I do believe a simple upper/lower is very good...

    I think doing PPL once per week is great as a truly advanced trainee, and can be an alternative to the routines already discussed. I had a very positive experience with it.

    The reason why is that...

    I've been doing an upper/lower 3 day ULU with supersets and its great. I superset chest and back 2 exercises each, then bis and tris. Then do myo reps for a delt exercise.

    Short workouts like PPL....

    A 4 day push/pull can work great, but i've also had success with a 3 day ABA BAB rotation. The key to making it work is training with a high level of intensity.

    It's also easier on the joints,...

    Both of these options are great suggestions to increase progress. IMO which one is better depends on ones training age.

    Option 1 PPL is a great option after you've exhausted your intermediate...

    I'd recommend a proper novice program like Fierce 5 or one of Lyle Mcdonalds programs. Reading this article from Lyle will help you get on a proper program:...

    As mentioned, if you get a few fundamental things right it doesn't matter much. Get enough weekly volume (less than you think) close enought to failure, put weight on the bar over time, and eat...

    My time, energy, and ability to recover continues to go down as I get older and take on more responsibilities, so I don't do as much as I used to.

    I've done most routines but the best gains I had...

    I have tried the 5-day PPL setup and I love it for a few weeks until I burn out. I still find it very demanding, you're in the gym quite a bit.

    I find that people who like the 5-day PPL setup also...

    Something else to consider. When making a split, ask yourself "What routine is going to allow me to progress my lifts best?". Nearly all big naturals are strong in a moderate rep range. I too fluffed...

    If you're outside of the beginner phase, for 3 days I like ABA BAB splits which hit muscles with a 1.5x frequency. It's a good balance between volume and frequency IMO, and as a bonus it's a little...

    I'm going to warn against this. For two reasons. First one being that I find overuse and injuries more common with higher frequencies once you get past the beginner stage. I prefer a max of 2x...

    10 years ago I started at 6'3 (close to 6'4 actually) 170 skinnyfat just like you. The only thing that actually made me look like I lifted was bulking and lifting on a good program. Seriously.

    You haven't told us anything about your training level of experience, but anyways, I'll bite.

    This looks like a very unbalanced program (no legs? uhh, not even back?) and I recommend that you...

    Yeah, I'm personally a big fan of shorter workouts myself. But I've found that it is harder on the connective tissue and joints, so I still stick to longer workouts. E.g a 6 day/week PPL vs 4 day...

    Yup...underrated split. Stellar recovery and good for the traditional male aesthetics. It's funny because I've actually even made noticeable leg gains with this routine, but my leg genetics are...

    This. ULPPL would be my recommendation. Hit Upper/Lower with more of a strength tilt and PPL with more of a hypertrophy/bodybuilding tilt. Best of both worlds, nattys need to get strong (in moderate...

    Yup, breaking upper out into push/pull feels great once you're moving big boy weights. ULPPL is fun too because of the variety.

    But even with all that I think still prefer a regular upper/lower...

    Good to know. Some progress is better than none, and natural bodybuilding is a marathan anyway. I'm not a fan of traditional DLs for hypertrophy, but moving RDLs to pull day is something to consider....
