Introduction

Everybody want to be more fit. But with all the trends and information in the fitness world it can be hard to figure out where to start. Working out is an investment that requires time and energy and no one wants to waste that on a workout routine that will not give them results. Nothing is worse than realizing you've been wasting your time. That's why it is often best to avoid the temporary fads and focus on doing the things that have been proven to work. The following workout routine is simple, effective, and gives you the best bang for your buck. It is called the Pull/Push/Legs Routine and it will consist of working out 3 days in a row and then taking a day for rest. Then repeat and over time you'll see the results.

The reason this workout routine is so effective is because you'll be focusing on the basic movements that have been proven to give the best results. Another reason why this routine is one of the best is because it helps you understand and separate your body's muscles based on their movement type and function. You'll begin to understand why your chest, shoulders, and triceps are considered pushing muscles and why your back, biceps, and traps are considered pulling muscles. You will be able to develop a deep understanding of your own physique as well as the ability to fine tune your mind-muscle connection.

REMEMBER: Good form is critical and is key to avoiding injuries. Never sacrifice form for weight. Use good form and you're body will thank you for it.

Conclusion

Some of you might notice that I have structured it so that the Pull day is happening before the Push day, whereas most people online will put Push as Day 1 and Pull as Day 2. This works as well and if this is what you would rather do then by all means go for it. However I believe that it is advantageous in having a day between back and legs. This is because the deadlift is a compound movement and especially in the beginning you might feel your legs getting tired as well. This is why I want there to be 48 hours between the time you workout back before you workout legs and luckily the Pull day fits in nicely between the two.
