PRRS Splits

So what is a good split to use while doing P/RR/S?

The split I saw from an old prrs template was something like: chest/bis on day 1; legs on day 2; back on day 4; and shoulders/tris on day 5.

Is it possible, or even advisable, to do a 3 day push-pull-legs instead? Full body?

Thanks

I currently do a 4 day split with P/RR/S. Monday Back/bis; Tuesday Delts; Thursday Legs and Friday Chest/Tris. I am considering moving my shoulder press to Friday (with chest/tris) and lateral raises (standing and bent) to Monday with back/bis. This would be a 3 day split and fairly close to a pull/legs/push routine. Although my exercises are muscle focused, I am trying to think more in terms of movements for my program.

P/RR/S can be adapted to splits of any amount of days per week, as well as upper/lower, and push/pull splits. My personal preference, and the one I have seen the greatest results with, is splitting the body 4 ways and training 2 days on, 1 day off.

Hey glad to hear it Gopro, what about the fact that there's more pushing movements that pulling? Do u not see that as being too much of an issue mate?

Cheers for getting back to me.
