How to progress
When you hit every rep on every set, add weight next time: 2.5 kg on upper-body lifts, 5 kg on squats and deadlifts. Miss reps, keep the weight and try again. MyoStats does this for you: it shows the target for each exercise before you start, and suggests a lighter week when a lift stalls.
Questions
Is a 6-day push pull legs split good to physique prep?
Yes, if you can recover from it and stay consistent. High volume for a show or shoot. High volume: rest 60–90 seconds and weigh in daily.
How long should I run this program?
Run it for 8 to 12 weeks while you keep adding weight or reps. When progress stalls on a lift for two or three sessions, take a lighter week, then carry on. MyoStats spots the stall for you.
What weights should I use?
Pick a weight you can lift for the target reps with one or two reps left in the tank. After you log a session, MyoStats suggests the next weight or rep target for every exercise.
Can I do this at a commercial gym?
Yes: it uses barbells, dumbbells, cables and common machines found in most commercial gyms.
