Why Push Pull Legs Repeat is KILLING your GAINS

Do I really need 2 different workouts? No, but it is better and here’s why. For example if you just did the normal push pull legs, rest and repeat over and over again, you would be doing the exact same 3 workouts again and again every 4 days. Now if you like doing that that’s fine, but in my opinion you most likely aren’t giving yourself enough time between each session to progress your movements effectively. For example, if you train chest on monday with 3 unique exercises, then on friday, you do those same 3 exercises, chances are you probably aren’t going to be much stronger because it’s only been 4 days since that workout. Thus, you probably aren’t going to increase weight or reps, which inevitably makes progressing really slow, and is why a lot of people plateau. So instead, if you did those 3 chest exercises on monday, then a different 3 chest exercises on friday, in other words push a and push b, you now have 8 days before you do those exercises again making it much easier to progress because at that point you’ve most likely built some muscle and gotten stronger. Not to mention, when you have 2 days instead of 1, you can do twice as many unique exercises, and including a variety allows you to train muscles at different lengths, different resistance profiles, and different ranges of motion, which all train the muscle differently, and thus will likely lead to better gains.

About Me: I started lifting at 17 years old in 2019, the summer before I entered my freshman year of college. I was a mere 120 pounds at 5'8, and my only goal was to gain weight. Since then I've bulked 5 times, reaching my heaviest at 206 pounds, and cut 4 times to a lowest of around 10% bodyfat. In 2025 I plan to compete in my first natural bodubuilding show. Using the knowledge I have acquired and continue to learn, my goal is to help all of you achieve your fitness goals and prove that no matter what stands in your way, hard work and consistency will always prevail!

Yea but it will target the same muscles so it won't matter if it's the same exercises or not the recovery will be the same which is okay because 72 hours is all what the muscle need to recover add to that we're only doing 3 exercises say 3 sets each that's 9 sets per day seams reasonable

@potapotapotapotapotapota 4 месяца назад

It's a misnomer that muscles need 48 or 72 or whatever hours to recover. How long muscles and your nervous system take to fully heal simply depends on experience. A beginner who has neglected exercise their entire life might need two whole weeks to heal from damage whereas an advanced gym goer may only need one day to rest and fully heal. That's what a lot of these workout prescriptions get wrong. You need to continually change your workouts as you progress. Push Pull Legs might work for you at one stage in your life but it won't in others. There is even variation between different types of Push Pull Legs workouts, all depending on your goals.

@DG-gx8pn 4 месяца назад

I don’t really agree with the reasoning of why it’s “better”. You can still make progress week to week and even throughout the week by doing the same movements. You’re still working the same muscle groups for the same general amount of weekly sets to failure so are the differences even tangible? I highly doubt it. I suppose you could argue it makes it more interesting over time but again, that doesn’t mean it’s objectively better if you’re consistent either way.

@theboycheef841 3 месяца назад

It depends, if you use machines it won't always work surrounding supporting / stabilizer muscles that otherwise would be worked. The muscle group gets to fully rest till next time it's time to work it. Ima try that.

@pinkblue9286 2 месяца назад

Idk I think he makes sense because I couldn’t do a single pull-up when I was working out for 9months I had been doing the same exact muscle workouts and kept plateauing and for some reason, once I stopped working out, three months later I was able to do my first pull-up, even a commando one! I was happy. I figured maybe when I worked out I didn’t give my body enough time to rest, and I remember always wondering if I may have been overworking my muscle groups when I trained them twice per week, and wondered if maybe I should just do one muscle group per day instead. His video kinda confirms it now to me! So I think I should try his method! I’ll see the results! :)

Your muscles don’t know what exercise you’re doing, they only understand the tension and stress you put on them. So instead of doing different exercises (do them if you like, it isn’t worse at all it just isn’t better either) maybe just add in another rest day somewhere so your muscles have enough time to recover

You don’t need 6 chest exercises, save some for your next meso. You will not progress on lifts if you do them once a week. If person A squats twice a week, and person B squats once a week and then leg presses once a week, who do you think is going to have a better squat?

@vukede1207 4 месяца назад

you are simply wrong xd doing the same shit 2x week will lead to nothing, even if you are doing a specialization program. for example looking to increase your bench, doing 3 times bench press a week will not make you have a bigger chest or bigger bench, but if you include some kind of variation, different rep ranges, incline, db vs barbell, it will have much more benefit, and every time you do flat bench you will be recovered and strong enough to progress. but if you just spam the same exercise with same reprange multiple times a week u will put a total of 0 pounds on the bar, and 0 reps increase overall.

@carlodonn8983 4 месяца назад

@Verziroo I'm replying to the first comment and why he missed the point. He seems to think Max is saying to keep changing exercises and not stick to one and process overload on it. Max is not saying that at all. Max is just saying you can have different selection of exercises each workout t and go back and forth on them. I changed my style of training to this about 10 years ago. It makes my training much more enjoyable and beneficial. Especially for advanced trainers. I'm 51 and have been training for 30 years. This style of training makes me still love goung to gym. In fact, I'm enjoying the gym more now than ever before.

@zal2448 4 месяца назад

There is still 8 days between the push day on Monday and the push day on Tuesday, its literally the same thing. In fact doing the same exercises on both push days is better for building strength due to you having more exposure to those exercises. Thats why all powerlifters benchpress 2-3 times per week not just once.

@andrespujols9721 4 месяца назад

yea that’s what I was thinking. Your muscles should be fine by the end of the 4 days if u sleep enough and get enough protein. If you keep switching it up u confuse the muscles, which does you no good. If you plateau then maybe this’ll work but for most ppl, Push A and B are extra.

@aymanislam4831 3 месяца назад

@@andrespujols9721 I don’t want to sound rude, but if you are doing a 6 day split, then doing different exercise is not complicated. Also if you are doing a 6 day split, the ‘little’ muscle gain you benefit is definitely worth it as the whole point of doing a 6 day split is to MAXIMIZE muscle growth. The problem seems to be that people think it’s working out the same exact spot every time, but that isn’t necessarily the case. You can do bench press the first day and then do the incline bench the next split day. There are multiple parts in a muscle that you can easily work out to maximize the growth. For a beginner, they don’t need to change their exercise, because they willl grow regardless, but this is for people who can/will plateau. You also don’t need 6 exercises for the chest as your third set is probably junk volume anyway. 4 different exercises isn’t that complicated, especially if you prioritize what you want to grow the most.

@langfortunato8463 3 месяца назад

I can see your point in that it can be easier to determine if a target muscle group has grown because the one day a week of training those unique exercises means it would likely take more time to learn them and thus your body getting stronger through other means without building muscle, however, as other people have pointed out, this is not necessarily a 'better' way in that exercise variety is a must to cause vast differences in muscle growth beyond doing the same exercises for each muscle multiple times over the course of a mesocycle.

@totallynotpaul6211 17 дней назад

@daveisdead Месяц назад

If you’re doing push either way, you’re activating the muscles associated with a push workout. If you couldn’t progress before, then you’re not going to progress now. Your muscles don’t recognize an exercise, they recognize intensity and volume. Doing different exercises but activating the same muscles is the same as doing the same exercise.

More than likely if you are using different movements for the same muscle, fatigue is going to limit progression regardless. Muscular fatigue for a specific muscle isn’t going to magically go away if you change the movement pattern. If you can’t recover between sessions, do less volume per session that is still above your Minimum Effective Volume, or take a deload session to have more time for recovery.

In terms of hypertrophy it'll likely make no difference, but if more exercises is more fun for you then go for it. Personally, I like doing the same thing over and over again for a mesocycle

i was in the same boat until you proposed "push A and push B". chest does not have six different target areas you can focus on, at some point you are overlapping and encountering the same issue. you are better off doing full muscle prioritization and not having to worry about activating a "wrong" part of your chest too much

nah jusy do push rest pull rest legs and a recall for upper whit 2 exercise for muscle group . or just do push pull REST legs and do the upper recall whit 2 exercise and the rest weekend rest and do cardio for your heart

@coopercochran2585 3 месяца назад

Either way, expecting to gain tangible strength by working out a given muscle group once (regardless of if it’s been 8 or 4 days) is ridiculous.

I don't think people realize how much adding 5lbs onto any lift, in one week, truly is. Outside of beginner adaptations, reintroducing an exercise etc. If you 'add weight to the bar every week' (not saying Max says this, it's just commonly tossed around), even adding 2.5's on each side... You'd increase your working weight by 260lbs in a year. That's just not happening through muscle growth. GVS just did a nice video showing how painfully slow progress can be after years of training.

I just rest more and train 3-4 days a week

@JISHADFXJ Месяц назад

Just stick to the same workout routine. You don't need ten different exercises to build muscle. Find three or four exercises that work best for you and focus on those, increasing the weight gradually over time.

This split is more difficult to perform in a gym with fewer machines. I want to prioritize my upper chest, but I can only use Incline BB press and Incline DB press

@krishsharma3329 4 месяца назад

As you said the answer is there, on one day you can perform with db and on the other day with barbell, for example for chest on one day I do flat barbell and incline dumbbell, on the other i do flat dumbbells and incline on smith

@lazydragon753 2 месяца назад

4 days are enough time to rest bro, especially for beginners. If you are not fully recovered after 4 days try reduce the volume in your workouts, frequency is just as important as volume, for most people working a muscle group more than once a week will be the best

@@BadBoy-wy1il They become visible by having low body fat percentage ... But Abs and obliques need to be trained with progressive overload and occasionally untill failure just like any other muscle group. Not trying to criticize your programme. Just a suggestion.

you have 6 exercise slots in push day you can fill it with 6 exercises, 3 exercises, 4 or even 5 exercises

@Deireadh_Chulainn 4 месяца назад

But if you do the same exercise 2 times a week as opposed to 1 will you not become more efficient at completing the exact movement pattern, therefore increasing the weight you can use?
