Thread: Push pull leg split, could use some help

hey lads, this is going to be a bit of a long one so i apologize in advance and hope youd stick with me.

ive been using this program for a while now and i was wondering if i should switch things up a bit, its a push pul legs split but only 1 workout plan for each day meaning iam doing push pull leg and then repeating the same program in the second half of the week, is that good ? or i should be doing different push pull legs days. also is the volume enough? too much or to little. i will briefly post my workout, 1.30/2 minutes rest. for gaining mass.

push :
bench press 3x6
incline dumbbell press 3x8
incline cable flyes 4x12/15
shoulder press 3x10
shoulder cable raise 3x12
behind the back tricep extensions 3x8
cable pressdown 3x10
pull
weighted pull ups 3x8
seated rows 3x10
lat pulldown 3x10
straight arm cable pulldown (low weight just to help strech the back a bit ) 3x15
straight bar bicep curl 3x8
spider curl 3x10
seated incline dumbbell curls 3x12
Legs
squat 4x8
romanian deadlift 3x10
hip thrust 3x10
machine quad extentions 3x12
machine hamstring curl 3x12
machine calf raises 3x8/12 (heavy weight)
machine calf raises 3x15/20(light weight)

please do not butcher me all that much about the program i am here to learn. what should i change/add? and a dumb question is this program suitable for females aswell to gain a bit of strength. thanks alot lads.

You don't give any info about yourself or your lifts, but since you sound like a novice I'd guess this is way too much volume for you. I suggest choosing a proper pre-made program suitable for whatever level you're at rather than making your own.

Regardless, you said you've been doing it "for a while" so you'd know better how it's working for you and if you need to change it.

yup, should have started with some info.
been working out for around 3 and a half years , started at the weight of 50 kg 1.80 cm now weighing 80 kg (peak was 85)
bench is 215 for 6
deadlift is around 280 for 5
squat around 250 for 5.
i am a bit insecure about this program and i just need a bit of validation. i am progressing, slowly though. and i want to make sure its not the programs fault. also if i should have different push pull legs days, like push a and push b,

Like I said it looks like a lot of volume, plus I wouldn't do the exact same routine for both PPL days - but it's more important whether you feel it's working for you. I'm not the one doing it.

yup, noticed it. is the volume enough in my program? should i switch plans?
