Best Training Split for Muscle Growth (Upper Lower vs PPL) | J3U Podcast Ep. 226

Still stuck wondering if upper/lower or push-pull-legs is actually best for muscle growth? In this episode, we break down what actually matters when choosing a training split, how much volume you really need, and why the “best” split depends on your recovery, weak points, and goals. We also cover whether cardio hurts leg growth, how often to train body parts, and what to do if recovery or sleep is limiting progress.
