Fitness Fahrenheit discusses the advantages and disadvantages of upper/lower workout splits compared to push, pull, leg splits in a new guide to help beginners to find the right solution when trying a new workout routine.
Boston, United States - June 29, 2023 —
In its latest release, Fitness Fahrenheit explains that the upper/lower split and the push, pull, leg split (PPL) are training methods that help gym enthusiasts target specific muscle groups and achieve their fitness goals. However, their approaches and focus are both very different.

These two training methods are among the most popular for bodybuilders, powerlifters, and beginner strength trainers of all experience levels, Fitness Fahrenheit explains. The new guide discusses how they work, what can be gained from them, and which is best suited for different individuals.
The upper/lower split, which is typically spread over four days of training, targets muscle groups individually. Two days are dedicated to upper-body workouts, and another two days are focused on the lower body. This method allows gym-goers to maximize training frequency and volume distribution, activating each muscle group while allowing for ample recovery.
The PPL split dedicates one day to pushing exercises, such as bench press and shoulder press. One day includes pulling exercises like pull-ups and rows, and one day focuses on legs, targeting quads, hamstrings, and calves.
While the PPL split allows for a more balanced distribution of training volume, it can also be more taxing on the body. Those adopting this split might go to the gym three times a week, or they may rotate the workouts across a six-day period depending on their strength-building goals.
One of the advantages of the upper/lower split is that it targets individual muscle groups more frequently, leading to greater gains in strength and size over time. This method allows for more flexibility in scheduling, as gym enthusiasts can adjust their workouts to fit their schedule and recovery needs.
The PPL split is suitable for those looking to maintain overall fitness or target specific areas of their body. This method is also popular among those who prefer a more structured approach to their workouts.
An excerpt from the guide reads: "When you enter your fitness journey, you come to a point where you are ready to take control. Gone are the days of using pre-written workouts or running to a coach for help, you finally know what you want from your workouts and are ready to write your own."
