This is Coach @theceoofshredded's personal favorite and preferred Push-Pull-Legs split. This six-day training program is hypertrophy-focused, aimed at increasing muscle mass using machines. Each day targets specific muscle groups based on different movement patterns: push, pull, and leg exercises. The load and volume in this plan are designed for hypertrophy, utilizing 8–12 reps and moderate weights with appropriate rest periods.
1st Day: Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
Machine Chest Press
- Sets: 4
