Push Pull Legs and face exercised

Given your stats (≈67 kg, ~26% body fat), the goal isn’t just muscle—it’s recomposition: lose fat while gaining muscle. So this plan balances volume, recovery, and progression.


🧠 Philosophy (why this works)

Push/Pull/Legs is popular for a reason:

  • Push → chest, shoulders, triceps
  • Pull → back, biceps
  • Legs → lower body + core
  • Each muscle gets trained 2x/week → optimal growth

We’ll keep it:

  • Simple (so you stick to it)
  • Progressive (so you improve)
  • Efficient (no junk volume)

📅 Weekly Structure

Day 1 → Push
Day 2 → Pull
Day 3 → Legs + Abs
Day 4 → Rest / Cardio
Day 5 → Push
Day 6 → Pull
Day 7 → Legs + Abs (light)


🔴 PUSH DAY (Chest + Shoulders + Triceps)

1. Bench Press (foundation lift)

  • 4 sets × 6–8 reps 👉 Strength builder

2. Incline Dumbbell Press

  • 3 sets × 8–10 👉 Upper chest (aesthetic shelf)

3. Shoulder Press (Dumbbell or Machine)

  • 3 sets × 8–10

4. Lateral Raises

  • 3 sets × 12–15 👉 Don’t ego lift—strict form

5. Tricep Pushdown

  • 3 sets × 10–12

6. Overhead Tricep Extension

  • 2–3 sets × 10–12

🔵 PULL DAY (Back + Biceps)

1. Pull-ups / Assisted Pull-ups

  • 4 sets (max reps)

2. Lat Pulldown

  • 3 sets × 10–12

3. Seated Cable Row

  • 3 sets × 10–12

4. Deadlift (important but don’t ego lift)

  • 3 sets × 5–6

5. Face Pulls

  • 3 sets × 12–15

6. Barbell Curl

  • 3 sets × 10–12

7. Hammer Curl

  • 2–3 sets × 10


🟢 LEGS + ABS DAY

1. Squats (king of legs 👑)

  • 4 sets × 6–8

2. Leg Press

  • 3 sets × 10–12

3. Romanian Deadlift

  • 3 sets × 8–10

4. Leg Curl (Hamstrings)

  • 3 sets × 10–12

5. Calf Raises

🔥 ABS (add at end)

Hanging Leg Raises

  • 3 × 10–15

Cable Crunch

  • 3 × 12–15

Plank

  • 3 × 45 sec


⚡ Progression Rule (this is where most fail)

Every week:

  • Try to increase weight OR reps
  • Even +1 rep = progress

If you just repeat same weights → no growth
Gym is not attendance-based, it’s progress-based


🥗 Nutrition (quick truth)

You won’t out-train bad eating.

  • Protein → ~1.6–2g per kg (~110–130g for you)
  • Slight calorie deficit
  • Water, sleep = underrated steroids
