    Coolcicada's Push/Pull/Legs Routine

    PLEASE:

    No debates about what routine is best.
    No debates about the usefulness of the deadlift.
    No debates about exercise selection and or frequency.

    Thank you.

    Seated Rows (circuit machine) - optional if already doing barbell rows: 3x8-10
    Face-pulls: 3x-10-12
    Barbell Bicep Curls (Alternate between close and normal grip): 4x-10-12
    Choice of one other bicep exercise (typically Hammer Curls): 3x10-12

    Legs (Quad/Ham/Calves):

    Barbell Squats: 4x5-6
    Leg Press (optional if already doing above squats): 3x8-10
    Leg Extensions (circuit machine): 3x10-12
    Hamstring Curls (circuit machine): 3x10-12
    Standing Calf Raises (circuit machine): 5x10-12

    I usually do either P/P/L [REST] P/P/L or P/P/L/P/P/L[Rest]

    * I did not list any warm-up exercises. *
    You can put deadlift into back day. Whether you decide to do this is up to you, and whether it works better or worse is not to be debated here.

    IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A ROUTINE WITH DEADLIFTS, PLEASE SEE SPIDERMAN997's ROUTINE BELOW:

    Squat
    Hack squat
    Leg extensions
    Hamstring curls
    SLDL
    Calves

    Push:
    Bench press
    DB incline bench
    DB seated press
    DB side raises
    Rope pushdowns

    Pull:
    Deadlift
    Weighted pull-ups
    Face pulls
    Chest supported rows
    Incline DB curls
    Hammer curls
    IMO, Coolcicada's P/P/L is a intermediate routine. I would advise you to start with either Starting Strength (see thread at top of TBB section) or Lyle McDonald's Generic Bulking Routine (a Upper/Lower).

    My question is (im not debating, im just wondering why): Won't shoulder pressing affect your incline bench since you are doing it before hand ? Or is it really not much of a difference ?


    Anyway, great post, should be sticky'd

    I've been doing a similar thing the past few months as a beginner, I followed a layout that I think you or spiderman posted a while ago and adapted it.

    Seem to be making good gains so far. But I was just wondering what order you suggest to do it in e.g. PPL, LPP or any other order.

    Seems like a solid routine though!

    But if you were to do incline first, you won't be able to shoulder press, therefore sacrificing shoulder development.
    Also, I do believe that even JUST Flat Bench + Shoulder Press.

    That doesn't make sense, the reason why you wouldn't be able to shoulder press is because your shoulders are getting worked on incline press so you're still working shoulders?


    Good routine either way, I will try this when I'm finished cutting.

    All I'm trying to say is, Bench then OHP then Incline. Thats the way it should be done.

    Otherwise, Incline one day, and OHP the next rotation.

    No, you want one overhead exercise.
    On biceps, sure.

    If you love deadlifts, please see Spiderman997's routine or simply add it or rack pulls into mine.

    I also mentioned that this routine should be done AFTER a routine like SS.

    I like both you and Spider's routine. Might give those a try when I hit the 2/3/4 plate standard

    Just curious, what is your reason to do compounds for 5 reps but everything else is 10?

    Also, I do believe that even JUST Flat Bench + Shoulder Press.

    Thanks, might try switching this up. I get a better chest contraction when I do incline, so I might try out incline > OHP > flat...but this is a very good frame to play around with

    Pec flys are good but hard to execute properly.

    Compounds I like the low rep range to focus on getting strength gains. Everything else is "hypertrophy range." It kinda combines PHAT into one day.

    As long as you progress on your lifts and eat in a surplus yes. It won't be as optimal, but you will see results.

    The whole point of a p/p/l is to repeat it 2x a week in a fashion like:
    push
    pull
    legs
    off
    repeat

    etc



    But yes, you can do that if you want. More frequency is better.
