Post by Eric\<> »

I’ve tried both and honestly I’m torn PPL feels more complete but harder to recover from Curious which one you guys prefer and why

I switched from PPL to Upper/Lower because recovery was killing me Upper/Lower gives me more energy each session and I still hit everything twice a week

PPL works best for me but only when I run it over 8–9 days instead of 6 The extra rest days keep me from burning out

Upper/Lower feels more balanced with my schedule PPL is great but if I miss one day the whole routine gets thrown off

I like PPL because I can focus more on each muscle group Pull day especially feels way better compared to Upper days

Upper/Lower has been giving me better strength gains The compound lifts don’t get buried under a ton of accessory work like they do in PPL

PPL only works for me when I keep the volume reasonable If I try to cram too much in recovery sucks and my lifts stall

Upper/Lower is easier on my joints PPL tends to make me feel beat up by the end of the week

Honestly both work When life is busy I run Upper/Lower When I’m more consistent and sleeping well PPL gives me better hypertrophy
