Hello,
My plan right now is to do a PPL split (so 6 days per week) with strength first then isolations after. From my understanding this is the best method to build strength and grow muscles.
My question is if I add some basic calisthenics (not weighted) to the mix, which order should my exercises be in? For example for a push day, I’m thinking; (strength 5x5) bench, overhead press, (calisthenics 3x15-20?) push ups, dips (then isolations 3x8-12) dumbbell inclines and lateral raises.
Is this order ideal or overtraining? Im trying to figure out whats most efficient whilst trying to fit in necessary exercises.
(Bonus where to add core workout as well?)

That would be quite a bit for a push day....
A push day could be as easy as....
Bench Press 5x5
Push Ups 2 sets of Max Reps or Rep Goal Max (say 100 reps total, with a time goal in mind then add intensity each week by decreasing time)
Lateral Raises 3x12-15
Tricep Pushdowns 3x12-15
The next push day could be...
Overhead Press 5x5
Incline DB Press 3x12-15
Dips 2 sets Max Reps
Finish with stupid high rep banded laterals
Don't major in the minors. The big compounds will be your steak and potatoes, the rest of it is just gravy.
Add core work on any day on a PPL but keep volume low per day.https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=180003183&p=1635918623#post1635918623

I'm guilty of that sh*t too, waiting for somebody to powder my nuts cuz I did 20 reps of whatever the **** on the bench. Big f*king deal. It is all relative." G Diesel

No. My dad is a doctor. I asked him about this. He said you will die.
My mom's a doctor too. I asked her. She said the volume will be too much for you to recover from and you will wish that you would die.
I tried a 6 day PPL and it about killed me after 2 weeks. But I'm just a feeble little 55 year old guy as you can see in my pic.Current rankings
