A user called BlueShingles recommended me a PPL routine made by Marcelo, I tweaked some exercises for more ring work, tried to focus the 2 first days of push / pull as hypertrophy dominant and the last 2 push / pull as strenght dominant.
I have access to dumbells, a barbell (but no big plates), bands and rings, but no proper bench nor squat rack.
I'm not trying to work any calisthenics skill, just put on some mass and strenght, the leg work I do is for cycling and running. I usually do reverse nordics but I'm coming back from an ankle sprain so I can't really do it so I replaced with Bulgarian Split Squat.
I'm usually doing an Upper/lower/upper split but I'm going on vacation soon and I wanted to do a bit more volume during this time, and use this routine sporadically when I have more free time in the future.
Since I'm on a different split I'm not too sure about the sets, reps, weight

Looks ok. I'd perhaps tweak a few preferences, like not do rows AFTER Facepulls, but overall it's fine

#

Also. Not to be rude. But what are rto Archer push-ups for you?

Because based on the weights you're using you can't do a rto Archer push-up 🤔 let alone sets of 10 with added weight

#

I wouldn't do lat raises for 6. Do them 8-12 or even higher

#

I'd do less super sets on leg day if you have the time. To allow for more intensity

Hi, thanks for your answer.

Well for me these ring push up are like regular archers but I take the time at the end of each rep to turn the rings inward, hence the RTO. I usually do regular RTO at home but can't do archers because I don't have enough width where my pull up bar is placed, 5 sets of 8 to 10 with 5kg. I haven't done archers in a long time so I don't really remember how difficult they are that's why I low balled the reps and weight for now.

Ok for lat raises.

For legs, I don't feel like I could lift much more by not doing supersets, I like the slight cardio the supersets give too, I kinda feel exhausted at the end anyway. But worth a try yeah I've done this routine specifically because I have more free time.

Thanks again 🙂

@olive forum does the separation in hypertrhophy and strenght workout make sense ?

Sure. It's basically daily undulating periodization where you focus more on heavier weights on day and higher volume the other
