I have been lifting on and off over the years but decided its time to get serious.
After reading some of the posts here about hypertrophy, muscular atrophy and training frequency, I came up with the following routine using chatgpt and what exercises i do currently.
It a modified PPL where there are only push and pull days with no leg days. Leg exercises are incorporated into each push/pull day.
I kinda have bigger thighs naturally and i dont want them to get bigger so I dont need a whole day dedicated to legs.
Is my split optimal for upper body aesthetics/hypertrophy (exercise selection, volume, reps range, number of sets etc.)?
Also because of my schedule I cant change my workout days.
Tuesday - Push
Friday - Pull
Saturday - Push
Sunday - Pull
