I agree with what Choopa Phil said. Switch it up. I like both workouts. I use the PPL for 2 or 3 months and then switch to one muscle group a day routine for 2 or 3 months. For PPL I use it more to cut up and stay conditioned. i take 30 seconds rest in between sets and try to keep my heart rate up. Quick tabata workout at the end before cardio. The "One muscle group a day" I train slower and heavier. Its easier to make gains this way, but the older I get the harder it is for me to train heavy. My joints dont support the heavy weight like they used to. Both workouts I try to do cardio before I train for at least 30 minutes. I love cardio and it works out the most important muscle (besides the love muscle) your heart.
Sample workout:
Day 1: Push - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and Abs
Day 2: Pull - Back, Biceps, Traps, Forearms and Ads
Day 3: Legs - Quads, Hamstrings, Calves
Rest 2 days
***2 exercises per muscle group (3 sets of 8 - 12 reps)
