I am starting a cutting phase after 3 months of recomp. (currently at 23% body fat.)
I love my ppl routine. I've succeeded with PPLPPLR every week. In order to begin my cut I am considering a strength, Cardio, strength, Cardio, strength, Cardio, Rest routine.
So shoudl I do Push Pull Legs for strength days, upper lower upper or full body each strength day?
I am open to suggestions on what this split should be and my calendar can be as flexible as I need.

    You should want frequency, so PPL for 3 days in the week is out.

    Basically, target the muscle groups as often as you can. With your three days a week plan, the same full body list every two days would probably be fatiguing. You could mitigate that, e.g., squats on Mon and Fri with chest and back accessories, and an upper focused day on Wed with leg accessories.
