Push pull legs how many exercises?

[teacherman]

Hi there

With a push pull legs rotating routine like this one I was just wondering how many exercises people would recommend for each session for example 2 chest 2 shoulder and 1 tricep? and would you recommend power and hypertrophy days to maximise this type of routines effectiveness if your goal is fitness model type physique?




Week 1

Monday: Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
Tuesday: Pull (Back, Biceps)
Wednesday: off
Thursday: Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Calves, Abs)
Friday: off
Saturday: Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
Sunday: Pull (Back, Biceps)

Week 2

Monday: off
Tuesday: Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Calves, Abs)
Wednesday: off
Thursday: Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
Friday: Pull (Back, Biceps)
Saturday: off
Sunday: Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Calves, Abs)

The problem with your routeen your trying to do a 3 day split almost twice a week and the days you allocated it doesnt seem like youd have ample rest time to recover so heres a few optional ones you can do.

monday: chest, shoulders, tris
tuesday: rest
wednesday: Legs
thursday: rest
Friday: Back, bi's
sat/sunday: rest.



-My current routeen-
Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Shoulders, Tris
Weds: Legs
Thursady: Back, Bis
Friday: Chest, Tris, delts
Sat/Sunday: Rest

*every few months depending on my proportion id swap the days i do back n bi's with the days i do chest (so i hit back n bi's x2 a week). Personally i cant hit legs x2 a week as it feels like i need 4-6 days to recover.


depending on your goals its optional to do cardio on the rest days personal prancer i guess

depending on how much spare time you have for leg days i like to do squats, leg press, leg extensions in the morning before work/studies then in the evening do hamstrings and calfs.

Why would you smash your chest shoulders and tris all on consecutive days when they are all used in major compound exercises in your chest I'm not on gear that would cause serious overtraining for me

Why no just make it a real push pull and add squats to push day and deads to the pull day

like i said thats my routeen. i feel fine, personally not overtraining, im natty and making great gains. friday its not serious training i do half of what id do for shoulders (focusing the main movements)
.
chest = Incline BB, flat DB, flys,
shoulders = Military press, shurgs
tris = Close grip bench, V bar push down.
