A six-day push/pull/legs split trains each part twice a week. It tells you when to train—not which exercises, loads or progression to use. Start with a complete routine, not six unrelated workouts.
For the routine and direct workbook, go to Metallicadpa / Reddit PPL. This hub helps you decide whether that schedule fits.
Both schedules repeat weekly. Keep the routine’s A/B alternation when moving the rest day.
Names such as “PHUL PPL,” “nSuns/BBB PPL” and “GZCL PPL” can refer to community adaptations. They are not automatically the original creator’s program.
The original BBB, GZCL and PHUL guides explain their own systems. Moving them into six days changes the schedule and can change fatigue, progression and assistance work. Choose a named, documented version before combining them.
Choose six days because you can attend and recover—not because six sounds more advanced. Missed workouts, falling performance or sessions you dread are reasons to review the fit.
With three available days, use a three-day program rather than running half a six-day PPL and expecting the same training frequency. For four or five days, choose a plan written for that schedule.
You need the equipment required by the routine. Reddit PPL uses a barbell, rack, bench and accessory equipment; bodyweight-only training is a different plan.
Check four things: your training days, required equipment, how load increases, and what happens when you miss reps. A list of exercises without those rules is not yet a complete program.
Start with Reddit PPL when its novice progression and six-day workload match you. Choose PHUL, PHAT or Greyskull when their schedules fit better. Use Program Finder to compare more options; don’t add days just to fill the week.
