Push-Pull Training Progress Model
Based on my own experience, I would like to say that I have tried almost every training method. Bodybuilding style, Olympic lifter style, powerlifter style, etc. It all worked out, of course, for a while, but only one of them was the most efficient for me. Push-Pull system!
We can describe the method shortly, we do push exercises in one workout and pull exercises in the other.
Advantages of Push-Pull Workout Routine
You protect your body from excessive stress
Doing overtraining is the most common mistake in bodybuilding. You should know the correct training duration and intensity. Otherwise, you will see losing muscle mass day by day.
If you work out the same muscle group over and over in a very short time (every day), it will reduce your rest time and put excessive stress on your body. Push-Pull training enables your body to rest effectively.
In traditional workout programs, it can be like; chest on Tuesday, shoulder on Wednesday, etc. etc, excuse me, but these are the programs that are written to completely unleash you. In these systems, it means that you will run your triceps in 3 training sessions without resting.
With the Push-Pull workout routine, you stop this stress. Because in 1 workout, you only work out your traction muscles and the other you work out your push muscles.
You will get more muscle and you will burn more fat
With this workout routine, you will go to the gym less and do more functional training and work out larger muscle groups. This will burn more calories and burn more fat.
Let’s come to the disadvantages of the push-pull training system:
- Quality workout routines always start with great exercises. After working out your muscles with these exercises, it may feel like torture at the end of the training.
- Sadly, it is not possible to work out directly your biceps in this workout routine. But don’t worry, your biceps will grow more than ever.
- You will put too much pressure on your nervous system.
- Squat, deadlift, and press exercises. These exercises tire the nervous system. After doing these exercises, you should give your body 36-48 hours of rest time. But quality muscle mass gains through these exercises, remember.

Tips for Push-Pull Workout Routine
- Never, but never underestimate 8 sets of 3 reps. If you are really honest and choose the weight that will struggle you (85% of your maximum 1 repetition), it will kill you!
- You can rest for 1-2 minutes on heavy days, but do not rest for more than 45 seconds on easy days.
- The reason we work 2 heavy days in a row is that when the body is rested and fresh, we can give all our strength to the weights.
- Eat well,
- Sleep well,
- Push-Pull workout routine will give you what you want.
