For most people, especially busy working professionals, the answer is a resounding YES.
The key isn't spending more time, it's spending your time efficiently.
A 3-day Push-Pull-Legs (PPL) program is "absolutely sufficient" and one of the most effective, sustainable ways to train.
Here’s the simple breakdown:
* PUSH DAY: All your "pushing" muscles (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
* PULL DAY: All your "pulling" muscles (Back, Biceps)
* LEGS DAY: Your entire lower body (Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes)
This approach hits every major muscle group, gives you ample time for recovery, and fits into a busy schedule. Stop feeling guilty about not training 6 days a week—focus on quality and consistency!
