On Matt Ogus PPL Routine?

your opinion does not really exist Matt Ogus trains hard!

works for him =/= work for you.
try it and see how you like it.

Would Conciasas work better? I just feel like his leg day is mediocre.

/e how can I tell if it's "working" or not

Take before pics. Train 3 months and take after pics.
Compare.

Solid and as long as I'm doing progressive overload right?

I've ran Ogus's 753 Upper/Lower routine and it's pretty nice when you're at a caloric surplus. Hard as fuck when you're at a deficit though, and I wouldn't recommend it while cutting lol.

why do people still comment on these threads

This.

Imho routines can't be looked at as blueprints to success. They're just sample instructions, and you have to discover if those instructions work for you. Some routines are more universal than others.

Even the underlying principles from which routines are based can't be looked at as the blueprints to success. Rep ranges, resting schemes, and tempo don't necessarily mean the same thing for everyone.

I'll give an example: How many routines say "Keep doing this exercise while you're feeling it. If the pump is great, keep it up. Do drop sets, or anything to keep the pump going. Do assisted cheating if you need. Do 5 extra unplanned sets of the same thing if you need." I don't know of many that would say that. Most say "4x 8-12 reps _____", and things change from week to week, or in cycles.

I've never been a fan of push/pull routines. I think they're too contrived for someone who just wants to build aesthetic or pure lifting strength.
