WHAT IS A PUSH / PULL / LEGS (PPL) PROGRAM? Push/Pull/Legs is a 6-day training split where you divide workouts by movement patterns and muscle groups. Each muscle group gets trained twice per week, which is ideal for both strength and muscle growth. • Push: Chest, shoulders, triceps • Pull: Back, biceps • Legs: Quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves ⸻ WEEKLY SPLIT • Monday: Push • Tuesday: Pull • Wednesday: Legs • Thursday: Push • Friday: Pull • Saturday: Legs • Sunday: Rest ⸻ WHY RUN PPL? • Hits each muscle group 2x per week • Easy to organize and stay consistent • Balanced for size and strength • Flexible—you can adjust volume and intensity easily ⸻ WHO IS IT FOR? • Best for beginner to advanced lifters • Works especially well if you can train 5–6 days per week • Great if your goal is building muscle and getting stronger ⸻ Rep Range: • 8–15 reps ⸻ PROGRESSION • Try to add weight or reps every week • If you stall, keep the weight and improve reps/form • Once you hit the top of your rep range → increase weight ⸻ REST TIMES • Compounds: 2–3 minutes • Accessories: 1–2 minutes ⸻ HOW LONG TO RUN IT • Run for 6–12+ weeks • No strict end—just adjust when progress slows ⸻ RECOVERY • Sleep 7+ hours • Eat enough protein • If you feel beat up, take an extra rest day or reduce volume ⸻ WORKOUT LENGTH • Typically 60–120 minutes per session

Common questions

Yes, Push/Pull/Legs 6 Day 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 12 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.

Push/Pull/Legs 6 Day Split is structured around 6 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Push/Pull/Legs 6 Day 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.
