I can't find one, like not one that seems decent.
I only see Upper Lower Rest - PPL Or PPL Rest UL
But they all have a rest day somewhere between monday and friday.
I really need a plan from Monday to Friday (weekends off) cause every second weekend I could end up not going to the gym and skipping that.
So my current plan is this, I structured it myself but I was wondering if anyone could look over it or maybe really show me an "ideal" upper lower split with 3 upper days?
Here is my current idea
Upper A (Full Upper Focused, Chest Focused and AMRAP Chest Press Machine:
- Incline Dumbbell Bench Press 3x9-12
- Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns 3x9-12
- Machine Chest Press 1x5-8; 2x9-12, 4. Set is AMRAP (65% weight, 45 second pause after last set)
- T Bar Rows Neutral Close Grip 3x9-12
- Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press 3x9-12
- Cable Rope Hammer Curls 3x9-12
- Overhead Cable Tricep Extensions 3x9-12
Lower A:
- Barbell Squats 1x6-9; 2x9-12
- Unilateral Leg Curls 3x9-12
- Bilateral Leg Extensions 3x9-12
- Smithmachine Calf Raises 3x9-12 with 1x AMRAP (80% weight, 45 second Rest)
- Cable Abductor 3x10-15
- Decline Crunches 2x to failure bodyweight
Wednesday was my Fat Oxidation Optimization Session day, where I'd just do 1 Hour of Zone 2 around 130 bpm incline walking.
Thursday Upper B (Push Day)
- Incline Dumbbell Benchpress 2x6-9; 1x9-12
- Seated DB Shoulder Press 3x9-12
- Machine Chest Press 3x9-12
- EZ Bar Skullcrushers 2x9-12; 1x6-9
- Unilateral Cable Pushdowns 3x10-15
- Lateral Cable Raises 3x12-16
Friday Upper C (Pull Day)
- Neutral Grip Pull Ups 3x5-10
- T Bar Rows Wide Grip 3x9-12; 1 AMRAP (50% weight, 45 second rest)
- Cable Hammer Curls 2x9-12; 1x6-9 + AMRAP (50% Weight, 30 second rest)
- Cable Face Pulls 3x10-15
- EZ Bar Curls 3x10-15
Saturday Lower B (which I skip a lot cause of family, friends,..)
- RDLs 2x5-7; 1x9-12
- Leg Press 2x6-9; 1x9-12 + AMRAP (50% weight, 45 second rest)
- Unilateral Leg Extensions 3x9-12
- Bilateral Leg Curls 3x9-12
- Leg Press Machine Calf Raises (3x10-15)
- Cable Adductor 3x10-15
- Leg Raises 2x to failure
You guys think I could skip the rest day on wednesday and just do UpperLowerPushPullLegs Rest Rest or how could I modifiy it so I don't skip my saturday anymore?
So that was the plan I made like a month ago but tend to skip saturdays which isnt optimal in my opinion.
My new plan in short would be doing this:
- Incline Dumbbell Bench Press 3x9-12
- Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns 3x9-12
- Machine Chest Press 1x5-8; 2x9-12, 4. Set is AMRAP (65% weight, 45 second pause after last set)
- T Bar Rows Neutral Close Grip 3x9-12
- Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press 3x9-12
- Cable Rope Hammer Curls 3x9-12
- Overhead Cable Tricep Extensions 3x9-12
every Monday Wednesday and Friday, but changing the order for "A", "B", "C" versions. A would be Chest starting + 1 AMRAP on Chest exercise. B Would be replacing wide grip lat pulldowns with Pull Ups and starting the session with Pull and C would be basically starting with Shoulders.
But is it possible to manage fatigue with 3 full"body"upper days?
Or maybe another question:
Could I do 2 Sets of Lat Pulldowns and 2 Sets of T Bar Rows on Monday but then do 3 hard sets of Cable Rows + 3 Sets of Pull Ups on Wednesday? My Back should be recovered from 4 sets of monday til Wednesday? Then I could just play around with sets (Monday 2 Sets Lat, 2 Sets back, Wednesday 2 Sets Lat, 2 Sets Back and Friday 4 Sets of Lat and 4 Sets of Back) and do this with all muscle groups.
So instead of doing Biceps Curls on Monday, I'd just do them only on wednesday and friday, while I do Triceps on Monday and thursday?
This is really frustrating to me. I also don't see how I could get my volume in by just 2x Upper days. Imagine if I do my day "A" twice a week. I'd only have 6 Sets of Lat Pulldowns and 6 sets of Rows the whole week without Pull Ups.
