Pull is so wild if your volume - intensity is high

do you know why its trendy or only watch sam sulek or whatever yall watch
I dont watch bodybuilding channels. Sam sulek is a walking tumor.

Its only trendy because the fitness industry gets bored of certain splits so they switch it up every few months.

personally ive been testing UL since last year in oct and my progress has been way better. but big surprise the split didnt give me magical gains.

basically the entire point of UL is that its so easy to program for the most optimal way to train, which is obv high freq and low volume. I got bored of UL and switched to Arnold since thats what I enjoy, and all I had to do was program to hit each muscle group almost every other day with very low volume to reduce my fatigue while still getting the max growth stimulus.

anyway, the main problem with PPL is a very slight disadvantage for fatiguing biceps and lats/traps for pulling movements (and same for chest/shoulder/triceps). however, this is very over exaggerated since with different leverages your limiting muscle will the the intended group you want to hit, but you do still end up with small amounts of fatigue which hurts your later sets. Oh and if you like PPL try switching biceps with triceps I did that when I first started it felt better back then.

anyways ya its trendy now simply cause the niche "optimal" content was mainstream for a while like 2 months ago but it kinda died off now.

The problem for me with upper lower is that most routines I see for it the workouts only have 1 working set

Like for example, 1 set of bench press for 5 reps.

It doesnt feel like enough

1 set is enough for your entire chest if you hit it every other day, but obv you might want to do more volume if you have an increased rest period.

so personally, I do 3 sets total of chest , 2 flat bench cause I want a good bench and 1 incline dumbbell. I hit chest twice a week with 3-4 rest days in between which is why I do 3 sets. ive noticed if I do 4 my progress slows down or I even plateau which a lot of people think its normal cause "your natty". trust me, if anything is holding you back right now its doing too much volume since all you doing is recruiting more energy towards muscle repair rather then growth.

So see, if ur new any split will help u gain muscles, but after yr u should change ur split eevry 6-8months, most effective split i found is:-
Monday:-chest and back
Tuesday:-shoulder,bicep and tricep
Wednesday:- deadlifts and legs
Repeat
First three days should be light or med weight and next 3 days should be heavy
Reason why push pull ain't effective is the reason because during push day u can train chest, shoulder and tricep, when approaching end of workout u will be already exhausted and not be able to train tricep with as much efficency leading to less hypertrophy or less gains
