The hate comments 😂 “Blatantly copy JP blabla”.
Mate doesn’t know Kuba’s training history. Closely consulted and worked with JP all the time. Also endorsed by JP as one the best coaches in UK. 🇬🇧
Never had I heard from JP nor Kuba that PPL/UL/splits are their trademarked/created programs. They always preach the best split is the one you can do it consistently and recover from.
Absolutely agreed! Thank you bud! Appreciate that
💯 exactly
Kuba I reported that idiot up above, that was a troll blatantly trying to be hurtful@@KubaSylvesterCielen. thanks to you & Miss Meg for your awesome videos and insights,
@@miamidolphinsfan ❤️🙏
Since doing this split, programmed by Meg, I have enjoyed my taining more than the BRO split! I have gained muscle, stayed generally lean and recovery is so much better.
Amazing
Been running doggcrap training for a little over six months which is a upper/lower. It’s been the best time in terms of progress of gains even more than when I was running a PPL split.
How much Sets are you doing now vs in the past?
Epic
@@ew-zd1th now doing probably 1/3 less sets than ever before
Definitely doing way less. I figured a little later that even with PPL, i was running way too much volume and I would need a deload way too quickly. I would run a top set and a back off. Now with doggcrapp training, most of my exercises is just one set of a rest pause, but for back and legs, just one straight set. Cutting down the volume dramatically has definitely led to way more gains. This way I’ve been able to consistently progress on all my lifts. From my experience, the less I run, the faster the rate of progress for sure. I for sure cannot handle even the amount of volume Kuba prescribes in this video even as I only do 5 exercises per session right now
DC ftw!
great stuff as usual bro thanks. for anyone struggling with arms, try putting triceps along with bis on lower day. torso/limbs split. arms getting hit at start when fresh. can also help make leg day more fun
Yeah sure exactly why biceps is good before lower like I explained
@@KubaSylvesterCielenwhat do you think about doing lateral delt instead of bicep on lower body days?
Just subbed. Solid split but I prefer to train shorter sessions everyday.
I'll be slotting this into the 6 day push+quads/pull+hams splits to see if there are any potential holes in my routine!
for the algorithm! Thanks for insights on programming as always!
Thank you man means a lot
You noted the second leg day on the edit as a hip hinge day. But I love the spilt exercise choices.
Yes sir
quite clearly deserving a follow/sub
Appreciate that thank you
@@KubaSylvesterCielenAlways a pleasure to support Muscles !!!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this.
You are welcome
I've been following you on Instagram for a couple of years and somehow just found out about this CZcams page. Subscribed. I am on a cut that ends in three weeks and have been doing Push Pull Legs for over two months. When I go back to reverse, I will be trying this program with a couple of tweaks to allow for my personal strengths and weaknesses.
It's similar to my split that consists on:
1 - Push,
2 - Leg (quads),
3 - Pull,
4 - Lateral Delts and Calves
5 - Leg (posterior)... So it's a kind of Upper/Lower too.
it's not, it's closer to a PPL. You're also splitting the legs into quads and posterior/glute-hamstrings so you basically training once a week while on UL you can hit everything every 3 sleeps so it's 10 training days in 14 days where you hit 5 times every muscle group. Not the same at all.
Starting this tomorrow. Thanks legend!
Subscribed. Been watching for a while. Great info as always. Thanks.
Thank you sir means a lot
Thanks for the breakdown Kuba, can use this to structure my UL after i finish my PPL phase. Been runnng PPL for years with great success but would like to try something a bit diff
Awesome
Thanks for the video and the routine! straight forward video with a great routine. I was wondering why not start with the compound movements on leg days such as RDL or Squat?
I've been following your advice from a previous video for push pull legs routine and I have made great progress in size and strength. The advice in your videos is great and deeply appreciate it. Also took on board a few nutrition tips and my digestion is a million times better too. Thank you Kuba.
I’m doing PPL x 2 now. But for the fall I’m going to switch to PPL + U/L. Looking forward to it.
This is similar to how I set up my training.
BENCH DAY with Rows
SQUAT DAY with Single Leg
CHINUP DAY with DB Military
How many sets and what rep range to aim for with this split?
This helped me loads thank you 💪💪💪
I’m glad
Really helped us with this. Spot on video!! 💪👍
Awesome video, appreciate you sharing the insights. God bless.
You are welcome
Great time for dropping this video. Tomorrow I am starting upper lower split and this is great inspiration for me. I have one question. I am working manually and I have a small baby so my regenetation is not really on point. Is it better to had it like upper lower and 2 days off or just cut volume and 1 day off ? Thank you.
I would personally run 1 day on 1 off in this instance
Or upper lower rest upper lower rest rest
@@KubaSylvesterCielen Thank you for answer really appreciate it. Keep going brother see ya on next video 😎
Great insight, appreciate you sharing this 👍🏻💪🏻
🙏
If you could do a video on how to fix insulin resistance that would be amazing 💪🏻
Stop eating carbs.
Get lean, it’s very simple
Great post. Thanks for sharing.
How many reps/sets do you recommend per exercise?
I’ve generally worked on 2 sets for compounds 5-10 and 10-15. And 3 sets for insolation work 15-20, 10-15, 5-10
valuable insights! thanks man
🙏
perfect timing kuba :) going back to training after my surgery and wanna start with a upper/lower split how much working sets would you recommend on a u/l split?
2 sets per exercise max
what rep ranges would you typically go for on both days? and would it be ULRULR?
Yes if you can recover from this if not add more rest days
Compound work 8-12 reps
Isolation 10-15 reps
You won’t go wrong with those rep ranges
i will try and do both tricep/bicep work on leg day, on my last bulk everything came up, i always had big chest but my shoulders and back really came up but arms still stayed small. How can i know when to add volume to these lower arms sessions?
First nail your exercise execution and selection, you might be doing too much and movements you don’t get on well with
Awesome video as always Kuba. Going to be going into a new training split so will 100% be trying this. Do you have any recommendations on sets and reps? Thanks again mate
2 sets compound 3 iso if you can handle it
Reps 8-15 reps
Will have to give this a go!
Good man
Tnx for that Kuba. If the calves are lacking body part where would you put them? Tnx
Daily at start of each session
On lower one you programmed pendulum squat. Whats your alternative recommendation for a homegym / very basic gym setup?
Get a good leg press/hack squat combo.. one of the best investments you can make for a home gym...
You got try a belt squat connected to a lever arm or cable station...
Is the Upper/Lower Upper/Lower Split better than Push/Pull/Legs/Full Body?
why do the biceps at the lower day? all muscles work twice a week except for the biceps which work 4 times a week.
My chest is significantly lacking on my upper body.
Does it make sense to program upper’s in a way that every upper day start with “pressing” first?
Nice content Kuba. What can you use instead of pendulum squat if you don't have one...?
Good info kuba, but how many sets and reps
Each exercise?
how many reps i should do in this split?
Great video, thanks! How can I replace pendulum squat? V-squat, belt squat or do hack squat in both lower sessions?
Hack and pendulum would be best
Can we have an idea on sets and reps? That’s the part I overthink the most😅
2 sets 8-15 reps super simple
Great timing with this video as I’m just preparing for a UL split. Do you have this as a printout or downloadable spreadsheet by any chance?
I don’t, I explain it clearly in video so you could always write it down my man
Thanks Kuba
You are welcome
What do you think about replacing biceps on lower body days with lateral delt? I feel better training arms together at the end of the upper body days...
0 issues something I program in for those who need it
So this would be 12 sets of chest and 18 sets of back for one weeks volume worth?
How many sets per exercise, is this the top set and back off?
2 sets 8-15 reps
how many set do you recommend? 2 for compound and 3 for isolation? great content, as usually, 10x a lot!
2 across board generally 3 on iso if you can handle it
10 u very much, highly appreciate it!
How many sets & what is the ideal rep range for each exercise?
Good content
No shoulder press???
How many days of rest would you have between upper lower 1 and 2?
Hello hope your well? I have a question would this be effective as a 4 day split upper lower off upper lower off off repeat? Or dose it have to be more say A B C rotations of upper lower? Thanks
Upper lower 2 variations and train 4x per week
If i go already 5 years in a row in gym,and i have a 36 years natty,is upper lower good option for me? Or i have to chose less frequent split. Thank you very much for content
Full body is good for you
Thanks for the Video, what would be a recommended Frequency?
Frequency you can recover from my man
Is the volume too much for a older natural?
Would you not include any shoulder pressing? And no pressing at all on upper 2?
If you can recover from it sure
Where do you suggest to add calves exercises? How many exercises & reps will be sufficient? Thank you
Lower
3/4 sets 10-20 reps
@@KubaSylvesterCielen thank you very much!
great video where would you place abs and calf training just at the end of either of the sessions?
End or start
Can you do the same kinda video on PPL?
Already have one bud on the channel - actually there is numerous videos like this on this channel
Hi Kuba, how would one typically run this. U/L/rest/U/L/rest/ then start again?
If you can recover from it yeah
For 5 days would you add another upper day or an arm day?
I wouldn’t add an arm day unless your already huge
Seeing as both yourself and JP rate this split so much, and I’m approaching a deload week, I think it’s time to give this a go.
Is there a specific reason for putting biceps on the leg day?
Yes sir - hitting them fresh before legs and it won’t impact your leg session - doing them at end of upper however for some may not be as productive.
@@KubaSylvesterCielen Thanks for your reply!
Having two mics 😂
A comment for CZcams prosperity
Thank you sir
Calves Chest /shoulders
Triceps and back
Biceps and legs
Ive been do that recently
If it works my man have at it
❤for🇮🇳 pro😊💪
Yeah but two exercises on triceps a week 🤷♂️ two surely that’s not enough
if you can grow on that then it is, if you need more then add more or work on qaulity and excercise selection. this is a template mate not holding your hand use your inititive
Not enough for you maybe, you use your tricep across any press so it is two direct exercises….
@@Shauntomac exactly that
Pretty much what Dorian Yates did. And he had some of the best triceps in the game. Same as Mike Mentzer, his 'mentor'... And yes, you have the same physiology as them both. We're fundamentally all made of the same stuff... BTW, Yates did Upper/Lower split.... On-Off-On for 6 years until he reached about 230lbs
@@greggdavison374 I suppose genetics gotta play a factor in it aswell bud 🤷♂️
Bro Split still wins)
Explain how
@@KubaSylvesterCielen that would require writing 1000 characters, I don't really want to Explain you are not novice so you should know how
@@KIKKAAA685 no it wouldn’t at all, bro split wins for guys who are maxed out… anyone else…. Just takes away from potential to grow.
