Exercise: The PPL Split 》The Farmer's Secret to Muscle Growth

-

Hi friend,

On your question: "Can I build muscle by going to the gym 3 times a week and having the PPL split?", my answer is:

Absolutely!

In fact, a 3-day PPL split is one of the most popular and effective ways to build muscle. It allows you to focus on each muscle group once per week, with enough time for recovery in between.

Imagine you're a farmer trying to grow a field of crops. You could plant all of the seeds at once, but that would be a lot of work and the crops would probably not grow evenly.

A better approach would be to plant the seeds in sections, one section at a time. This would give each section the time and attention it needs to grow strong and healthy.

The same is true for building muscle. If you try to train all of your muscle groups at once, you're not going to be able to give them the attention they need to grow.

A 3-day PPL split allows you to focus on one muscle group per workout, giving it the time and attention it needs to grow.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, a 3-day PPL split also has the following advantages:

  • It is flexible and can be adapted to fit your individual needs and goals. For example, if you have a limited amount of time to train, you can reduce the number of sets and exercises you perform.
  • It is efficient and allows you to make the most of your time in the gym.
  • It is effective and can help you build muscle and strength quickly.

The push category includes exercises that work your chest, triceps, and shoulders. The pull category includes exercises that work your back and biceps. The legs category includes exercises that work your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.

Here is a sample 3-day PPL split routine:

You can adjust the exercises and sets and reps to fit your own fitness level and goals. But the basic principle is the same: train each muscle group once per week, with a day of rest in between.

If you're new to lifting weights, I recommend starting with 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps for each exercise. As you get stronger, you can increase the weight, sets, and/or reps.

And don't forget to warm up before each workout and cool down afterwards. A good warm-up will help to prepare your body for exercise and reduce your risk of injury. A good cool-down will help your body to recover from exercise.

If you are serious about building muscle, I do recommend trying a 3-day PPL split. It is a simple but effective way to get the results you want.

And if you’re looking for more explosive power, I highly recommend this effective training technique!

May your muscles be as strong as Samson, and as powerful as King David!

Yours faithfully, Gary

EXERCISE: Gym Workouts Aug.28, 2023 - Plank Ab Crunches

Hi friends, Happy to share with you another view of my working on those Plank Ab Crunches with my son.  It involves hooking my legs onto hanging ropes, with my hand in a resting plank position. Then my legs will crunch up to my abs. It strengthens my core and abs in the process. Here's the video: Each set last for 1 minute, then rest for 20 secs. Then repeat 3 more times. The first time I ever did it, I couldn't keep it up even 2 reps without resting immediately after. My knee surrender easily, and my breathing was heavy.  But I kept on pushing those baby steps, every time. Now I can carry out the motion without much difficulty. It built up my core and my abs. I'm proud to be doing it with and setting up an example for my son. Thanks for your attention. Gary

EXERCISE: Pull-Ups - The Ultimate Upper Body Exercise (But Not the Only One) Dear friend, Pull-ups are often hailed as a fantastic upper body exercise, but are they truly a full upper body workout?  Well, the short answer is, yes. They do engage a significant portion of your upper body muscles, making them a valuable addition to your exercise routine. However, like most things in life, the devil is in the details, and if you're looking for a comprehensive upper body workout, there's more to consider. When you perform a pull-up, you primarily target your latissimus dorsi , the large muscles in your back. These muscles are responsible for the pulling motion and play a vital role in developing a strong and well-defined back. Additionally, your biceps, forearms, and shoulders are also heavily involved during the exercise. So, it's evident that pull-ups provide substantial benefits for these muscle groups, making them a great upper body exercise. However, for a complete upper b

Let's talk about the nitty-gritty of these exercises: Bench Press Shoulder Press Triceps Extensions (Visit: fit40strong.com ) The Bench Press Ballet: Bench pressing is your golden ticket to building a broad and powerful chest . It primarily targets your pectoral muscles but also works your triceps and shoulders . However, to ensure equal growth in all three areas, you must vary your grip width. A wider grip emphasizes the chest, a narrower grip targets the triceps, and a neutral grip focuses on the shoulders. (Visit fit40strong.com ) Rotate these grips to hit all the right spots. Shoulder Press Sensation: Shoulder presses are fantastic for developing those boulder-like deltoids. But remember, it's not just about the press itself; it's the variations that matter.
