The Push-Pull Program - Sample Workout 4
By Mo Mendez

The Push-Pull Program - Sample Workout 4

Another good workout cycle to use for making your muscles larger is the push-pull routine. This routine consists of performing all of the exercises that contain pushing movements on one day, and all of the exercises that contain pulling movements on another workout day. The concept behind this program is to totally focus all of your energy into either pushing or pulling, and then to give those muscles time off while your focus on the next workout is shifted. This workout has provided great results for many people. It can be beneficial when used in a size program where the focus and concentration on a certain area of the body needs to be narrow.

  • Low incline-bench presses - 3 to 4 sets, 6 to 12 rep range
