A push-pull workout is a style of training that targets muscles based on whether they involve a pushing or pulling action. These workouts are popular among bodybuilders and other athletes
In the "pull" workout you train all the upper body pulling muscles, i.e. the back and biceps. And in the "legs" workout you train the entire lower body, i.e. the quads, hamstrings, calves and abdominals. Is bench press push or pull? A bench press is considered a push because you are pushing weight away from you.
Pulling exercises are movements that utilize all of the muscles needed to perform a pulling action. These are known as our posterior chain, which includes the glutes, hamstrings, erector spinae, and traps. Stonehouse says that "pulling exercises strengthen many of the muscles responsible for good posture, mobility, strength, and flexibility.".
A pull day workout and a push day workout are very different but can be performed with the same structure. Key points to remember: → Larger muscle groups should be worked before smaller muscle groups. → Push and pull days can be performed on the same day but need 48 hours to rest and recover before being worked again.
Here's my routine: Push: 3-4 sets of dips with last set to failure. 3-4 sets of ring push ups with last set to failure. Pull: 3-4 sets of chin ups or pull ups, last to failure. 3-4 sets of inverted rows, last to failure. I end my workout with ring support holds, 30secs x2 to move on to ring dips soon.
1. Barbell Bench Press. The bench press is the ultimate push exercise and should be the first entry into any push-pull workout routine. The barbell bench press engages a high level of muscle activation in all of the push muscles, including the pecs, delts, and triceps.
