Been playing around with programming lately, and have an idea in my head of doing a 6 day push pull (since frequency is king for natural lifters, plus work is gonna get stupid busy and hot soon). But instead of the usual set ups, I was thinking:
Quads
Row
Vertical pull
Triceps
Hamstrings/glutes
Chest
Delts
Biceps
Id use a variety of compound and isolation movements and make sure I have a mix of heavy and light work on each day to even it out (Chest press then lateral raises, and straight arm pulldowns then cable rows, for example)
Thoughts?

It’s not really Push/Pull, which you’re probably aware of. The way that’s set up, you’d be training elbow extension and flexion 6 days a week, which sounds like a bad idea from an injury prevention standpoint IMO. Of course total workload will be key, but I’m a bit of a p*ssy when it comes to injury prevention, given my history of tendinitis, and generally dislike >2-3x/wk frequency splits for this reason. If I had 6 days I’d personally run PPL 2x/wk, but I much prefer Fb 3x, U/L or Push/Pull 2x or UL/PPL.

I like that routine. If I had the time to do 6 days a week I'd either do the programming you're suggesting or I'd do an arnie split. Shoulders/arms, legs, chest and back, rest and repeatOriginally Posted by BeginnerGainz

Looks like a 6-day fb, not push/pull. In that case, you might as well mix and match over those 6 days however works best for you, and not have any specific repeating setup.

Missing a horizontal pull my friend (assuming your row isn't a pendlay or similar). You need all three pulls
As mentioned above it's more a 6 day full body which means you will need some serious intensity management and I would agree that PPLPPL is probably a better shout for a 6 day weekSomehow still managing to avoid getting 'too big'
