    Iv been doing a 4 day split since I first started training and it seems effective but I have been interested in trying the push/pull/legs cycle but I feel as if I don't know enough about it too start one and make a routine out of it. Does it usually go 3 days on 1 or 2 days off? How many exercises does each routine generally have?

    Yes I always thought my calories are low but I'm picky about eating clean and I feel as if that stops me from consuming about 1k more calories, though I have been trying to change by allowing myself to eat with less restrictions and my ability to intake more daily calories seems to be increasing

    And thanks for the comments guys means a lot coming from far more experienced people. Would post a picture of legs but not to proud of them(also working on it lol) ?

    Don't over think your routine man you'll never find out what works best if you don't try new things. Too many people are scared of switching programs or changing their routine but what's the worst that could happen, you maintain and learn. Chances are your routine isn't the best for you if it's all you've ever tried.

    It's usually 3 on 1 off, you can do strength for the first 3 days and hypertrophy for the last 3, or a mix of both. I'm doing it atm and it looks like;

    Legs:
    Squats
    Deadlifts
    Leg press/leg extensions/leg curls/supersets whatever floats your boat.

    20 or so sets total

    Push:
    Bench
    Overhead press
    Incline bench
    Close grip bench

    Pull:
    Bent over rows
    Pull-ups
    Cable row
    Lat pulldown
    Curls

    Obviously tailor it to what you want to do and what you respond best to.

    I've been using this program for a few weeks (don't be disheartened by the fact it's from bodybuilding dot com, usually their programs suck) and i really like it, ignore the nutrition and supplement part of it, nutrition is a lot more basic than this makes out and the supplement part is a ploy to get you to buy supplements (it's still bb.com lol) but the training program is really good, high volume like i like it and set out quite well.

    It's legs/push/pull first 3 days strength second 3 days hypertrophy focus. This and a caloric surplus and you're good to go.
