Splitting up legs

[svenrpb]

Currently running PPL and want to add an arm day because I tend to get sloppy with training them at the end of a training.

So I was thinking of doing PPLA, but I am also curious if adding an seperate shoulderday would add something because I haven´t done one in ages. I came up with the following:

Day 1: Chest+quads
Day 2: Back, rear delts, abs
Day 3: Shoulders(front/side), hamstrings
Day 4: Arms, Calves

Take restdays where needed.

I know everything works when you train hard enough, just curious if people have tried this before.

Shoot!

Like you stated, pretty much any split will work…if you do.

I personally found that a dedicated arm day was just straight up boring. Did a little tweaking with my coach and found the below split to be a winner as of late:

Sunday: Quads
Monday: Chest/Arms 1 bi/tri
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Hams
Thursday: Delts/Arms 1 bi/tri
Friday: Back
Saturday: off

If someone does quads and adds something else to it it means they are doing pussy training not real quads

it's not hate just my personal opinion

So sloppy training arms at the end but your going to try and do quads after chest?

 

[3BILLS]

Chest - tris

Back - hams

Should- bis

Quads - maybe another hamstring exercise if needed. Calves

 

[3BILLS]

You can also switch every few rotations to

Chest - shoulders
Back - hams
Arms
Quads

U can always start the back workout with hamstring first every other workout

 

[Oldwhitedude]

Chest, biceps
Quads, calves
Delts, triceps
Back, hams

This Dorian/Jay split is one I've come back to a lot over the years. You get a bit of hamstring work as a lead in exercise on quad day too. Helps to warm the knees up.

Either of those @3BILLS posted also good.

Don’t add an arm day.

Biceps + legs
Push
Pull
Off
Triceps+legs
Pull
Push
Repeat

Or

bicep/chest/shoulder
Legs
Tricep/back
Repeat

This is actually a really good idea.

I´ḿ going to train 4 days a week, so I will make it:

Legs
Chest/arms
Back
Schoulder/arms

why do you need your arms twice a week - do you think they will grow more? it will be quite the opposite

Only one way to find out!

And I will divide the volume more.

How did you go from spitting legs to putting them back together lol

If you really care to do it that way then move hamstrings to back day and keep quads alone. Luki said it best above, adding a muscle group to quads means you aren't training them properly. Unless its something like calves or abs of course.

See @b-boy you never trained your legs properly.
