This version of the PPL split is a pure 5-day version, where you have 5 total workouts per week, every single week. This is done using a schedule where you have two consecutive workouts… followed by a day off… followed by three consecutive workouts… followed by a day off. Then you repeat it again. And unlike the previous version, the 5 workout days fall on the same days each week. In the example shown, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are always the training days, and Wednesday and Sunday are always the the rest days. (Note that the workouts themselves still vary, as one week Monday is a “push” workout, and the next Monday is a “legs” workout.) (https://www.aworkoutroutine.com/push-pull-legs-split/)

Common questions

Yes, 5-Day Push/Pull/Legs Split is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 9 weeks are fully unlocked.

This program is built around a full gym. Make sure you have consistent access before starting, since the progression model assumes you can perform the same movements week over week.

Each session typically takes around 90 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.

5-Day Push/Pull/Legs Split is structured around 5 training days per week, with rest days built in to allow for recovery. The Boostcamp app lets you reschedule sessions if your week doesn't go to plan.

The program runs for 9 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

5-Day Push/Pull/Legs Split is available inside the Boostcamp app, free on iOS and Android. Once you download the app, you can search for the program by name. The app tracks all your sets and weights automatically, so you always know exactly what to do next session.
