Preguntas frecuentes

What is a push day workout?

A push day focuses on muscles involved in pushing movements — chest, shoulders, and triceps. It is commonly used in the PPL (Push/Pull/Legs) training split.

How often should I train push day?

In a PPL split: 2× per week (e.g. Monday + Thursday). Allow at least 48 hours before training the same muscles again.

Can beginners do push day?

Yes, but start lighter. The overhead press and bench press require some technique — consider a spotter for your first few sessions.
