Question about push/pull/legs

Personally I'd do 3-4x8-10, but I'm a powerlifter. I don't ever go that high on total reps. If you wanted to gear something like this more towards bodybuilding you could do a 2/1 ratio of hypertrophy to strength days. Do two sets of hypertrophy PPL or upper/lower days for every set of strength days. These programs are very flexible.

Edit: I don't think 3x5 would cut it volume wise on a 2x/weekly split. 5x5 would make more sense. 5x5 strength and 3x8-10 hypertrophy would be better. You could more BB oriented stuff on the hypertrophy days like incline bench and some isolations, then your flat bench, back squat and deadlift on the strength days.

that makes sense. I started doing 3x5, but it wasn't enough volume. I'm doing 4x5 right now, going to go up to 5x5 next week.

i was asking because I'm doing PPL, and i want to do hypertrophy on the accessories and 5x5 on bench, ohp, squat and deads.

I see, so all 5x5 days with hypertrophy work after? Yeah, that's fine in my opinion. I do a lot of my hypertrophy work in different rep ranges anyway just based on personal preference, anywhere from 3x8-15 to 5x10. Just depends on what it is.

Omar Isuf had a good video on setting up a routine like this. I think this is the one, but I'm not 100% sure and I'm at work and can't watch the whole video to check. If it's not look on his channel a little, shouldn't be hard to find.



Also, I agree with what weighted chinup said on page one about undulating intensity. If you're past beginner stage it's the way to go.
