Filter Definitions:

  • Lift Vault Recommended: This is meant to help the person that doesn’t really know what workout plan they’re looking for. I tried to select a variety of different routines  that had high quality spreadsheets from a reliable creator that have been run successfully by others. This will probably be most useful to beginner lifts. There are tons of great programs that don’t have this label. It is meant to be an easy to digest shortlist of reliable programs.
  • Program Types: Basic categorization of the workout plan. A program can have multiple types. This is probably the least specific of all the filters.
  • Days per Week: Training days per week in each workout routine.
  • Weeks: The length of the workout plan measured in weeks.
  • Experience Level: General experience level of the program. “Beginner” and “Intermediate” are the most useful distinctions. If you select “Intermediate” you should probably go ahead and select “Advanced” too. That line is blurrier.
  • Periodization: A subjective take on how the program uses periodization. I tried to reserve “linear” in a relatively strict way, but in reality most programs are a combination of “linear” and “undulating.” “Block” periodization was a bit clearer. (Please read Greg Nuckols article on periodization to understand how one program can use multiple periodization methods).
  • Program Goal: Specific goals of the program. These are pretty subjective so I wouldn’t rely very heavily on this filter.
  • Focus Lift: Which lift is the focus of the program, if any. “All” essentially means that all lifts are trained.
  • Squat/Bench/Deadlift/Overhead Press Frequency: The number of times each week that a given lift is trained. Near variations (e.g. front squat, incline bench, deficit deadlift) are counted.
  • Meet Preparation: Whether this program could be reasonably run in preparation for a competition. This is generally synonymous with a “peaking” program. Any program that builds toward a new 1RM usually got marked as “yes.”
  • Creator: The original creator of the workout program and/or spreadsheet.
  • Accessories Included: Whether accessories are programmed or not. “No” means that you’ll need to program accessories yourself.
  • RPE: Whether a significant portion of the program relies upon using RPE or similar auto-regulation methods.
  • 1RM Percentage: Whether a significant portion of the lifting routine relies upon using a percentage of the athlete’s one rep max (1RM).

The 5 Best 6-Day Workout Splits

For most people, it’s not realistic to go to the gym six days per week, which is why most workout programs only prescribe training 3-5 days per week. Not to mention, training nearly every day of the week may not be ideal or even necessary for beginners and intermediate trainees. And if you have an extremely busy schedule, it’s not even worth considering.

With that said, a 6-day workout split may be the best option for advanced trainees wanting to continue gaining size and/or strength. Let’s face it, some people enjoy the gym so much that they want to be there every single day. So if you’re a gym rat or an advanced lifter looking to maximize results, a 6-day workout split is something you should consider.

Since you’re training six days per week, following a well-structured workout program is essential because you can quickly overtrain. Two of the most popular 6-day workout splits include the upper/lower and push/pull/legs split. A 6-day workout split can be very effective for building muscle, gaining strength, and losing fat, as long as it’s programmed well.

To take the guesswork out of finding an excellent 6-day workout program and prevent wasted time or money, we’ve hand-selected 5 of the best ones that exist. Below you will find the five best 6-day workout programs and a link to their respective spreadsheets so you can download a copy for free!

5/3/1 is one of the most popular strength training programs ever, influencing other programs like GZCL and nSuns along the way. Its popularity has stemmed from its simplicity, flexibility, and ability to be run over and over for long periods of time. It favors slow, steady, repeatable progression over the long term instead of programs that pile on the weight for a few weeks or months before progress grinds to a halt.

Armstrong Pull Up Workout Program Spreadsheet

This is a spreadsheet for the Armstrong Pull Up Workout Program. It is a 5 day per week routine designed to improve an athlete’s pull up strength.

Armstrong Pull Up Workout Program Overview

  • Day 1: Complete 5 AMRAP sets
  • Day 2: Start with 1 pull up and rest 10 seconds. Then do 2 pull ups and rest 20 seconds, and so on, until failure. Then decrease reps by 1, reducing rest periods by 10 seconds per set along the way, until back down to 1 rep.
  • Day 3: Complete 3 sets of pull ups using three different grip variations (wide, neutral, supine). A supinated grip means the palms will be facing your body, similar to the grip used in a barbell curl.
  • Day 4: Select a training max (e.g. 5 reps) and complete as many sets as possible until failure.
  • Day 5: Complete 5 AMRAP sets
