1. Push Pull Legs (6 days a week) Back can be sore after pull day and will limit leg day.

  2. Push Legs Pull This ensures a good leg day but messes with pull day.

  3. Pull Push Legs This feels like the most optimised of the three. Pull day is affected only once a week, as opposed to twice a week for the other two routines.

    You don’t necessarily need to deadlift on both pull days. You don’t even necessarily need to do all of the same exercises. This goes for the push and leg days as well.

      I do squats as main movement on first leg day, with Romanian deadlifts and calf raises. On the second leg day, I do deadlifts and light squats/lunges, and calf raises.
