Is it okay to have a PPLPPL (6 days) and a Upper Lower Upper Lower (4 days) routine and swap randomly between both?
Like next week I have 6 days time for gym, so I will do PPLPPL Rest. The week after I have 4 days time for gym so I wont do my PPLPPL instead do UL UL cause of work and privat activities?
While I will do Upper A (3 Back, 2 Chest, 1 Shoulder) Ill do Upper B (3 Chest, 2 Back, 1 Shoulder) the other day.
Absolutely, any given workout is just going to be a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme. The most important thing is consistency and showing up If it's six days one week and four days the next week, it won't really make any measurable difference in the long run. Just do what you can
I enjoy my PPLPPL routine more cause I can split my upper bod in two days and add more accessory exercises in.
But I feel like I should just focus on compound exercises for my upper days if I cant do PPLPPL.
So my upper days (one week) are mostly just the compound exercises (Pull Ups, Benchpress with Dumbbells, Lat Pulldowns, Incline Benchpress, T Bar Rows and Shoulder Press) I dont have enough energy for biceps and triceps isolations
