yeah it seems more upper/lower than push pull, but if it looks good to you who cares what they call it… Try it for a few weeks and see if it jives with you. If I tried to fix it it would end up a frankensteined version of what I do for me.
It was a highly regarded program a few years ago; Baby Got Back. I know a small sample of people had a lot of success with it so I was hoping to get some more feedback.
Monday: Upper body (horizontal plane)
Tuesday: Lower body + biceps
Thursday: Upper body (vertical plane)
Friday: Lower body + triceps
If that fits your goals, then do it. It’s not something I would do, but who cares? Try it and let us know. I would just try to set it so that deadlifts and squats are 3/4 days apart.

Uh, that doesn’t look quite right. monday pulls, don’t fall into that breakdown.
Just for terminology sake, that routine is not a push/pull. It also sounds like a tone of volume. I think success with that would have to do with how you intend to progress with it and if you can handle the volume and frequency of things like hitting your posterior chain 3 times a week. (DL, squat, SLDL)

Yeah that’s a good point. That could end up being too much on me. I’m just in search of a good 4-5 day a week program. I tried Wendler’s 5/3/1 but for whatever reason I lost strength.

Westside for skinny bastards is a good 4 day template. But if yur in the gym 5 days why dont you just do a three way split and hit 2 of those days twice.

I did Westside a few years ago with some good success. I guess I could set up a five day routine like you said.

I realize that, but I still think that ‘horizontal’ (+ deadlift) is what the program is going for. Not that it really matters.
