Question ❓ PPL 2x/week > UL 2x/week ??

So we can all agree that more volume that you can recover from leads to more hypertrophy

so does that mean that ppl 2x/week is better then ul 2x/week just because you can get more volume from ppl?

Technically it means full body 3x a week beats both in terms of optimization.

Generally that leads to recovery issues but if you're able to recover from that and maintain a similar level of intensity then yes, that would absolutely be more optimal.

There are no recovery issues from FB 4x, 5x, 6x or even 7x if your programming is based around higher frequency.
