Push Pull Legs Logbook
Push Pull Legs Workout Logbook
Designed for 6-day PPL volume — push, pull, and legs each get their own dedicated spread.
Why this logbook
Built specifically for Push Pull Legs
PPL is the most flexible high-frequency split in lifting: 6 days a week of training each muscle group twice, with enough volume to drive hypertrophy but enough focus to avoid the chaos of a bro-split. The tracking challenge is that every push day is different (chest-focused vs shoulder-focused), every pull day is different (vertical vs horizontal emphasis), and every legs day is different (quad vs posterior chain). Generic logbooks collapse all of that into one grid. Ours gives push, pull, and legs dedicated spreads with muscle-group totals at the bottom so you can see volume distribution at a glance.
PPL lives on weekly volume per muscle group. MEV, MAV, and MRV aren't abstract — they're the difference between growth and injury. Our custom PPL logbook sums sets per muscle group automatically via a weekly volume grid at the end of each push/pull/legs cycle. You see exactly how many sets chest, back, quads, hams, and delts got. No spreadsheet. No guessing. Plus pre-labelled push/pull/legs tabs so you never end up doing two push days in a row because you forgot which day of the cycle you were on.

“Rest timers dropped from five minutes of scrolling to focused 90-second resets. Twice the work, same session time. Plateau gone.”

The Push Pull Legs (PPL) Workout Log Template: Complete Tracking Guide for Hypertrophy
PPL demands precision tracking because the program is driven by hypertrophy principles, not strength progression. You cannot simply add 5 pounds to everything and call it a win. Instead, you must track exercise sequencing, rep ranges, rest periods, RPE, and pump quality—all of which requires a specialized logbook.

Frequently asked
Push Pull Legs logbook questions
Does this work for 3-day, 4-day, or 6-day PPL splits?+
All three. The builder lets you set training frequency; the logbook rotates push/pull/legs based on how often you hit the gym each week.
Can I track both strength and hypertrophy phases?+
Yes. Each spread has space for low-rep strength work (5-6 reps) and high-rep hypertrophy work (10-15+) so you can run a hybrid PPL without switching logbooks.
How is volume calculated?+
At the end of each week, the weekly volume grid gives you a line per muscle group (chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, quads, hams, calves) where you tally the sets performed. You fill it in manually — 20 seconds per week — and it replaces the need for a spreadsheet.
Is this compatible with PPL-based programs like Jeff Nippard or Arnold Split?+
Yes. The spreads are muscle-group-focused, not program-specific, so any 6-day push/pull/legs template (Jeff Nippard PPL, Arnold Split hybrid, Metallicadpa PPL) fits.
Do you include progressive overload tracking?+
Each exercise row shows last session's top set, so you always know what to beat. The weekly overview page lets you see trends in a single glance.
