The Push\/Pull workout is a popular workout style that categorizes exercises as either requiring pushing or pulling movements. It then groups those exercises together into pushing and pulling routines. In this article, we uncover the most popular Push\/Pull workout routines being used to build muscle and strip off body fat.<\/p>\n

Push\/Pull workout is one in which the positive, or concentric, part of the movement involves pushing or pressing a resistance away from the body. It may also involve pushing the body away from the floor. A pulling exercise is one in which the concentric part of the movement involves pulling the weight towards the body.<\/p>\n

Splitting your workouts into Push\/Pull workout routines, allows you to work for muscle groups together to perform the exercises. As an example, the chest, shoulders, and triceps all involve pushing exercises. With Push\/Pull routines, you typically perform each workout twice per week. The body is divided into two workouts, meaning that you perform four workouts per week.<\/p>\n
