The Perfect Push Workout for Growth (Chest Shoulder Triceps)

Level

Duration40 min

Activated muscles

Progress like never before with this push workout perfect for pecs, shoulders and triceps

One of the most effective muscle-building workout routines you can use is the push pull legs split. 
In the push workout for mass, you train all of your upper body pushing muscles (chest, shoulders, and triceps). 
In the pull workout, you train all of your upper body pulling muscles (back, biceps, and rear delts). 
And in the legs workout, you train your entire lower body (quads, hamstrings, calves). 

The push pull legs workout is so effective because it trains each major muscle group at the optimal training frequency of 2x/week, allows plenty of recovery time for each muscle, and can be tailored to each individual. 
In this workout, I’ll show you how to get started with the push pull legs program by going through exactly how to set up one of your push day workouts for the week.
