  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.

    I have never felt that I could not recover, or maybe I am too much of a beginner to understand signs. What could be the signs of poor recovery?

      Poor or disrupted sleep quality, feeling tired all the time, decreased appetite, joint pain. Training hard is like digging a hole, every stimulus you incur digs a bit deeper and recovery helps you refill the hole.

      Of course, the best split is the one you enjoy and allows you to be consistent. :)
