  1. Push Pull Legs (6 days a week) Back can be sore after pull day and will limit leg day.

  2. Push Legs Pull This ensures a good leg day but messes with pull day.

  3. Pull Push Legs This feels like the most optimised of the three. Pull day is affected only once a week, as opposed to twice a week for the other two routines.

Agree, pull push legs makes the most sense. That said, once you get to a certain level of strength, deadlifting twice per week just may not make sense anymore no matter what you do.

I don’t deadlift twice a week. On first leg day, I squat and romanian deallift. On the second, I do deadlift and light squats/lunges.

Seems like deadlifting and RDLing on the same day might solve your issue

Will I be able to perform in the second lift of the day? RDL after deadlift sounds gruelling
