Is this a 5-Day or an 8-Day Workout Split ?

[Elvn12thrtn14]

I recently learnt about the Push Pull Leg workout routine. I enjoy taking the weekends off from my job and a mental break from training. While following this effective training approach, I would also rather not get caught-up in excessive training and allow my body more time to repair. Hence weekends off works around my preferred schedule. Below is the training schedule I've planned and would like to know if this would be called a 5-Day or an 8-Day workout spilt.

Additional Information: I've planned the push, pull, leg workout to continue after the rest day, following from the last force type performed on Fridays.

WEEK 1:
Saturday – Off
Sunday – Off
Monday – Push
Tuesday – Pull
Wednesday – Legs
Thursday – Push
Friday – Pull

WEEK 2:
Saturday – Off
Sunday – Off
Monday - Legs
Tuesday – Push
Wednesday – Pull
Thursday – Legs
Friday – Push

WEEK 3:
Saturday – Off
Sunday – Off
Monday – Pull
Tuesday – Legs
Wednesday – Push
Thursday – Pull
Friday – Legs

What's your training experience? If you're well past the novice stage and want to give it a try, PPL is fine to mess around with and might be effective for you. I prefer upper/lower.

I've been in the Gym for 3 months now. I usually train 3 days with a group HIIT program and sometimes an extra day on my own. I should be following my own program rather than stick with the group where I can't build muscle well.

I recommend doing a full body novice program like Fierce 5 or All Pro and leaving PPL for when you have a lot more experience and can decide whether it's going to be a good approach. You'll actually make gains slower on PPL and you aren'tat the point where you should be doing your own programming. Agreed that your current training is probably doing very little to help you build muscle.

Sometimes I feel like people focus their attention on the wrong things when they make their own progams.
