Fundamentals of Coolcicada PPL Workout Routine
PPL workout plans are very efficient because the exercises you are doing provide maximum overlap within the targeted muscle groups you are working that day. For example, the chest exercise bench press also works on your deltoids and triceps. Generally a PPL workout plan classifies your muscles into three group.
- Push Group: push workouts mainly target chest, shoulders, and triceps
- Pull group: pull workouts target back, traps, and biceps
- Legs: hamstrings, quads, and calves are worked in leg day.

Cons of Coolcicada’s Push/Pull/Legs Original Routine
Coolcicada original ppl program lacks core deadlift exercise, volume, advanced bodybuilding techniques, fore arm training and core exercises. Here we updated the program in such a way that volume of the training regimen increased more than 50%. As a result the program become more intense. We added deadlift and reverse barbell curl in pull day. 4 Ab exercises are added in leg day. Advanced bodybuilding techniques like 28 method and drop sets are included in the program to make it more intense and efficient.
