Plan Details
The PPL - Power and Hypertrophy* routine by cliburn89 is a 6 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
This is a Push/Pull/Legs routine created to increase strength and induce muscle hypertrophy. The first 3 days focus on low reps with high weight. The last 3 days focus on high reps with less weight. You should rest either between the 3 days, after the 6 days, or both. Shoot for between 5-8 reps for the power days and 12-15 for hypertrophy days. Note: If you are a beginner you may want to try a 3 day split iterating weeks.
