P/p/l with power and hypertrophy

Hey guys. New to the forum but had a quick question. Been running a p/p/l for about 1.5 years and thought about switching it up to have a power and hypertrophy day. So three days power, three days hypertrophy...kind of like phat.

Any thoughts or possible examples of routines like that you guys run?
 
Talk to booneman77 he's made up an awesome 5 day PHAT that I'm currently doing it. I'm 2 weeks into it and just loving it. He also has a 6 day program. There are a bunch of people on here doing his program
 
Anyone else have any suggestions? Contacted boonman77 but he wanted $ for his program. Didn't really want to do that having no clue what the split even looks like.
 
My program is indeed a PPL alternating in between power and hypertrophy days.

Goes like this:

P power
P hypertrophy
L power
P hypertrophy
P power
L hypertrophy

You can split it in 6 days (that would make each week start with Push power) or, like me, 5 days with a rest day in the middle, which means you'll just start the week after with whatever is next.

Works AWESOME, but I definitely need a deload after 6 weeks as it's pretty intense.
 
Mine is exactly what you mentioned ppl hyper-ppl power.
 
But your selling it for money on a forum. Isn't the point of the forum to exchange ideas and try to help each other out? Or am I way off base?

Personally I was ok with it. He spent time and effort doing it. He's not forcing you to buy it. It's only $5.....but I guess it was USD so that's like $20 to me in Canadian dollars lol.

Anyways I love it and I'm feeling so good. Only a couple weeks in but I know I'm getting stronger. Just my thoughts

I gave it out to quite a few people for free over the years, but its gotten to the point where I have so many people that I help and answer questions for that a few bucks (and one time) makes me feel better about the time I invest in specifically this/these programs and helping people with them. Helping someone out is one thing (and should be free), giving them everything, including follow-up support, is another. Theres a reason personal trainers, dieticians, and the like all can make a career out of it... they do the work others dont want/are too lazy to.
 
I get that actually being a personal trainer and offering their knowledge is a monetary valuable job. I just asked a simply question about switching my p/p/l to one that had a power and hypertrophy days and the only response is do the program that cost money. Not really a big deal it just reminds me of all those other YouTube people selling there crap for money.

Whats the difference between offering knowledge as a full-time job and offering the same type of knowledge as a part-time/hobby?

I have no affiliation with booneman77 and no reason to push his program other than I've started doing it and loving it. Booneman77 has been quick to answer any and all questions I have. You asked, I made a suggestion. If you don't like it, don't do it. Personally I'm loving it and $5 well spent. (It was a joke about the Canadian exchange rate)

Simple answer to your simple question: p/p/l/p/p/l. Google the rest, the knowledge gains will bring you great benefit.
 
Honestly you already have an idea of how to run it. You can still go p/p/l p/p/l. Just need to decide if you want to go power for the first three in a row and then hypertrophy the next three days or if you want to mix it up. Then for each category figure out rep and sets for hypertrophy and for the power days decide if you want to run a basic 5x5, of linear program similar to 5/3/1, or a pyramid scheme. You have to figure what works for you.
 
Op, do u compete for power? Just curious why we even do it for recreational bodybuilding. Not trying to antagonize or derail, I'm just at the point in my life where I almost wish I never trained for power when research seems to point more towards progressive load for body composition

Yeah man I'm 6'4" and have alot of distance on lifts even on low rep days don't go below 5 reps. But I don't care about how much I lift but pump and focus on muscle being worked. Can't stand the guy benching squirming like a worm every rep using entire body to rep it out because he wants to look cool with heavy weight
 
Lucky, I'm 5 10 if i wear 2 pairs of socks!

Have you considered looking into HST? It's a very fresh approach and might provide the rep variety that you are eluding to in your split. When iy comes to power days, I could see if your were an athlete looking for performance explosiveness.

But I didnt get that impression from your other posts.
