Push Pull Legs, more commonly referred to as PPL is a popular training split that divides the body into thirds and is repeated twice per rotation. This particular training split has a lot of upsides, but it also has some downsides that present some interesting wrinkles when designing a PPL cycle. Bryan’s upcoming training cycle will be PPL based, so in today’s episode we present our PRO’s and CON’s of the PPL.
