Push Pull Legs

Beginners
#1

Hey everyone

Does Push Pull Legs 3 times a week work for a beginner? Extremely high volume just to make sure that every muscle REALLY needs a week to recover, by this I mean:

30 or over 30 sets for legs chest back
20 or over twenty sets for all the smaller muscle groups

All the other days are either passive recovery or stretching days

#2

Yes.

#3

Will it work, yes, but its not the best choice. IMO beginners will progress much faster in strength and size on a beginners linear progression fullbody routine
