Push-pull-legs is great because it allows you to hit each muscle group more frequently throughout the week. You’ll have separate days for pushing exercises (like chest, shoulders, and triceps), pulling exercises (like back and biceps), and leg exercises. This frequency can lead to better muscle protein synthesis and potentially more gains. On the other hand, an upper-lower split focuses on dividing your workouts into upper body and lower body days. This split still allows for a higher frequency of training each muscle group compared to a bro split, but it might be more manageable if you prefer shorter, more intense workouts.
