I currently just do slightly improvised push pull split with. So in the long them results, is training legs atleast 1x per week worth it?

Neglecting legs makes you stagnate on upper body movements

You’re less stable when doing does if your legs aren’t strong enough to support you

Or when you bench, you’re unable to provide proficient leg drive to push the weight up

Training legs hard 2x a week is the bare minimum

I would say a standard PPL, I’ve stopped using PPL ever since I plateaued

My current split is

Chest
Back
Arms
Legs
Chest
Back
Arms

I hit legs once a week because I’m active and use my legs a lot throughout the week anyways
 
I skipped leg day for 6 months 😹🤙🤙

feels like i got raped after training legs

Is gym 3x week enough with 1day being the leg day?

Not sure, I’ve never done full body or upper lower splits, I enjoy junk volume on bro splits and it’s worked for me more than any other

Most important aspect of a split is whether you enjoy it enough to be consistent on it

I'm not trying to become a ogre but atleast enough muscular to not turn off foids
No hate now but your face with a ripped body would look kinda goofy. Just don't overdo it.

I'm also trying to achieve more masculine face and body with the gym

no because the quad muscle fibers run vertically along the femur, so by increasing their strenght they are pulling against the force of the growth plate trying to grow new bone. It's the same as if you put weight on a growing tree

So are you really trying to say that training legs slow down the height growth?

Just wake up extra early innit

If you use my split, you won’t take more than an hour

For example:
Chest -
1) Incline Dumbbell Press 3 x 6-8
2) Plate Loaded Chest Press 3 x 6-8
2) Cable Flys 3 x Failure
3) Peck Deck 3 x Failure

Will you lose muscle if you only train like 2x per week?
 
Legs are cope

Not enough, that’s under training
That might explain why i have got so bad results in these few months of going to gym. My bench has only improved for example like 5kg

well, your quad muscle is positioned along your femur and by strenghtening it you are creating more contractile force that pulls the bone "inward" so maybe it would make the growth plate creating new bone harder (since the growth plates expand in the direction opposite to the force generated by the quad muscle). I am just coping with this so don't have to train legs, there isn't really any science behind it, just a theory

Atleast i'm not doing deathlifts because that for sure stunts height growth

Only things you should focus on in the gym

1) 300-500 Calorie Surplus
2) Progressively Overload
3) 7-8 hours of sleep

I feel like i'm either just a hard gainer or i have done something wrong
 
Hard gainers don’t exist
Then i'm doing something wrong, i'm not even sure if i'm on a calorie surplus because i just eat that much what i can
