A push pull workout routine basically calls for you to exercise the upper body muscles used to push weight away from you at one workout and exercise the upper body muscles used to pull weight towards you at another workout with the legs trained on their own day. Doing this type of weight training split routine will allow you to train the major upper body muscle groups - the chest and back - on the same day as the muscles that assist them on most exercises. Training these related muscle groups during the same workout will ensure that you get plenty of rest and recovery between workouts since you won’t be training a muscle that assists on the major upper body muscle groups the day before or after training that muscle.
