What do you guys think? Too much volume? If so what exercises could I drop? Am I giving a fair amount of work to all my muscle groups?
You can't lift that many times per week as a natty unless you have exceptional genetics. You won't be able to recover in time. Try 3x/week.
Xavier Nelson
>too much chest volume, no reason for it >bicep isolation but no tricep isolation >front raises and lateral raises
Jose Garcia
Look up PHUL, I'm doing it and it's pretty good
Gavin Morales
>Can't lift 5-6 times a week Come on man, you don't actually believe that do you? You think no one has ever made any natty gains on a brosplit before? You expect me to just do AxBxAxB for the rest of my life? I'm sorry but I can't drink that koolaid.
Brody Davis
>too much chest volume My chest is very lacking so I figured all the extra volume could help it catch up. Bad idea? >bicep isolation but no tricep isolation The cable pull down is intended to be tricep isolation and I do my dips close grip. >front raises and lateral raises Don't they hit different parts of the shoulder?
Samuel Butler
If you are doing pull right before legs you need to do front squats after deadlifts and back squats after chest supported rows or cable rows. Ditch the bent over rows.
Why not just do U/L?
Jaxon Collins
How's your first month of lifting going?
Juan Smith
I've always been pretty bottom heavy so I figured upper lower would just exacerbate the problem. If I were to do upper/lower would you recommend PHUL like says?
Connor Baker
don't listen to this fucking retarded DYEL
Jackson Rogers
Do some research on programming. Fullbody programs and low volume high frequency training is best for natty lifters. Dont get memed by the bros from fit,you will waste your time.
Benjamin Cox
retard scooby logic
Ryder Evans
you could do pull/push/legs to give time for your lower back to rest for legs, that's what i do and i also grow in terms of leg mass really quickly - the beauty of PPL is that you can just slice days out if you're snowballing too hard - just do an A/B switch with your leg days where one week you do two leg days and the next you only do one day of legs
Jack James
Naw, man. I did my time on 5x5 and now I want to make some gains. I'm not gonna do a noob strength program forever.
Adrian Gomez
also ignore this retard too
Brody Reed
>Veeky Forums what program should I start with? >Starting Strength >Veeky Forums I've pretty much exhausted my gains on Starting Strength what should I do now? >Starting Strength I fucking hate you guys sometimes. You have to really be a fucking brainwashed retard to think that the only people making gains on splits are roiders. You know hypertrophy is real right? You know that if you want to be aesthetic training for strength doesn't make sense right? You know that splits are so popular because they work right?
William Lee
Too much for everything IMO. Here is my 4 days/week routine: ( Back - shoulder- chest / Legs - arms )
- Monday - 5 x 10 Chest supported row 4 x 8 Push press 5 x 10 Chin ups 4 x 8 Close grip Bench 3 x 12 Cable upright row
- Tuesday - 5 x 8 Front squat 4 x 12 Single leg deadlift 3 x 12 Tri push down 3 x 12 Ez curl 3 x F Farmer walk
- Thursday -
5 x 6 Weighted pull up 5 x 10 weighted dip 4 x 12 dumbbell row 4 x 12 dumbbell overhead press 3 x 15 Facepull
- Saturday - 4 x 10 Bulgarian split squat 4 x 12 single legged deadlift 3 x 12 skull crusher 3 x 12 hammer curl 3 x F Farmer walk
Do burpees for cardio on the other days.
Kevin Long
-Push- Weighted dips (and compounds in general) should be done before accessory exercises for better performance. remove the front raises,add a triceps accessory. Every exercise should be 4 to 6 sets of 10-15 repetitions if you're aiming for hypertrophy (src NASM)
-Pull- You should first do: deadlift->chinup->cable row first for better performance. Do compounds before accessories. Maybe add hammer curls.
-Legs- your order of exercises is fucked up here too. it has no cohesion.
general notes: on your main lifts (1x3) you want to up the reps since you said you want hypertrophy gains.try 8-12 reps. for the rest you want 10 to 15. up your sets from 3 to 4.
Hunter Bailey
Ofc ignore me,listen to this faggot who doesnt know jack shit. You can make gains on a split program,but compared to a full body its going to be slower.
m.jap.physiology.org/content/73/4/1383 You need to hit a muscle group with high frequency to keep getting protein synthesis after 2 days no matter how high volume your training was,protein synthesis stops so it makes full body programs superior. m.ajpendo.physiology.org/content/273/1/E99.short Another research. Now listen to these fuckheads that doesnt know shit but giving advice from their asses,or listen to these scientific facts. Choice is yours.
Ryder Jenkins
This guy is mostly right. Try PHUL instead, maybe add in a fifth "fun" day if you want. Move on to PHAT when you graduate.
I ran PPLxPPLx for a while, but it will eventually stagnate or catch up with you. Especially if you're not a NEET.
James Richardson
>doing all these retarded variations instead of the basic movements. Your routine is shit.
Push DB Press 5x5 OHP 5x5 Dips 3x8 Incline BP 3x8 Dips 3x8 Skull Crushers 3x8
Legs Squats 5x5 Deadlifts 1x5 Hanging Windshield Wipers 3x8 Hanging Leg raises 3x8 (my boy rippletoe understands how to properly train legs)
Pull(b) same as the first Pull but I remove Hammer Curls and Pullups if I didnt get a good surplus of Cals Push(b) OHP first instead of DB press and I remove one Dip3x8 if I didnt get a good calorie surplus
Jacob Gutierrez
basic movements for basic people.when you get advanced you need accessories.shit you need them anyway if you want to be aesthetic.
Kayden Miller
What are your lifts? Serious question. OP here and I'm repping >DL 320 >Squat 285 >Bench 195 >OHP 145 Are your lifts higher than that? Or are you on your first month of SS and decided that the gains will last forever? Have you noticed that the aesthetic bros at your gym don't do fullbody every other day routines? Have you noticed that even the tubby powerlifters don't do that either? Even the old man with the beer belly and huge arms doesn't do that bullshit. 5x5 beginner programs don't work forever. And what a coincidence: the subjects of the research you shared were all BEGINNER lifters.
Lincoln Powell
Ah then show me your big research on hypertrophy programs that proves its better.But wait there is fucking none. If you need more than 2 research then you are the retard here you fuck.
Nicholas Perry
lol @ all these newfags who think more days in the gym means more gains.
Enjoy spinning them wheels until you get back on a real routine.
Austin Parker
you still do the basic movement retard, you probably don't even need those assists and just think you look cool doing them.
Carson Hall
lifting is fun desu
Isaac Phillips
>"more than 2 research"
just because all you have are those kiln-hardened shit maces to swing around pajeet doesn't mean everybody else has to do the same shitty 3x5 program
Anthony Murphy
lets see your body bro
Ryder Lee
PHUL is a shit program for someone like you. Do candito LP or Lyle Mcdonald's generic bulking program or something of that sort. You need to build your endurance and form and some more strength before you try the hypertrophy focused programs like the one you posted.
This is what I'm doing right now. Power means I just do whatever sets I feel like and go heavy, working up to singles or doubles, occasionally triples. Feel free to alternate lower body days so that one day you do power squats and RDLs and the other you do deadlifts and leg press, I prefer doing deadlifts and belt squats because back squats feel like shit and give me no gains but alternating is better. Arm work is optional but recommended.
I do rows either chest supported or seated on a bench slightly bent over with the cable pulley at my ankles. I'm also considering switching out chins for face pulls because I can't perform well on them after rows. The best row variation for this program is probably bent over dumbbell rows so that you can support your back with your other arm and knee, but I suck at those. I wouldn't recommend doing bent over barbell rows since back training is split into lower and upper, see candito's video on DB rows vs BB rows. I usually do calf raises 5x5 with a barbell and cable crunches or ab wheel for abs.
L: Power Deadlift Belt Squat or Leg Press 3-4x6-10 Lunge or Split Squat 2-3x8-12 Hamstring curl 2-3x12-15 Calf Raises Abs
U1: Power Bench Rows 3-4x6-8 OHP 3-4x8-12 Chins 2-3xF (3 min rests) Lateral Raise 1-2x12-15 Curls 1-2x12-15 Pushdowns 1-2x12-15

Ryan Reed
Do you have any science behind your claims that hypertrophy programs are better ? No? Ah you can fuck off and do your retarded shit to yourself,dont give advice to newbies.
Michael Bailey
I wasn't suggesting he do SS. I was suggesting that he do PxPxLxx. You can still do a split this way, with high rep ranges and isolation exercises. The fact is that most people can not lift 6x/week and expect to recover fully. If you can, you are the exception and not the norm. You can't assume that everyone has great genetics.
Justin Reyes
have fun going 3 days a week. you probably squat the bar DYEL
Benjamin Ward
post a pic of your body pajeet
Carter Jackson
k but seriously i love going to the gym 6 days a week
what routine is best for that?
Jason Cooper
m: back/bis t: chest/tris w: legs th: back/bis f: chest/tris s: legs su: rest or whatever you want
Xavier Davis
add cardio onto that last day and you're golden
Noah Powell
Actually, I take that back, PHUL is a perfectly fine program for your goals OP, I was thinking of PHAT. PHAT will snap your shit up and tell you to do dumbbell bench press for heavy weight low reps instead of just benching like a normal sane person and enjoying your bigger numbers.
How does it feel to have top-tier genetics? Go fuck yourself.
Benjamin Ortiz
yea, that's what the guy wanted and what the thread is about
Anthony Adams
Ah here we go,you dont have anything to say do you,all you have left is ad hominem attacks. Feelsgoodman.jpg
Luke Ward
PPLxPPL is fine just reduce the volume from the OP.
I do the same but only 4-5 exercises per day.
Austin Flores
are you implying that your physique is so shitty and horrible to look at that just suggesting it is an insult? nice job, glad nobody will be taking advice from you because you're DYEL and won't prove otherwise
Robert Gutierrez
4-6 sets at 10-15 seems like a lot for growth, no?
I've always heard lower reps with more weight for growth. i.e.: 3 sets 6-5-4
Daniel Hall
A smarter idea would be to train 4 days on 1 day off version of a 4 day split. Something like this:
Day 1: Chest and Tris Day 2: Back and Bis Day 3: Legs Day 4: Shoulders Day 5: Off/cardio
Keep shoulder day limited to dumbbell work so you don't work triceps twice as much as every other muscle or you'll probably look imbalanced.
Caleb Clark
It isn't ad hominem to ask for verifiable proof other than some weak science publishings you fucking retard. Show us your doughy brown body.
Noah Cooper
Every set/rep combination will result in growth when programmed correctly as long as you don't do too little volume (heavy singles/doubles/triples or very few sets)
Cooper Wilson
Do you think I am going to get my phone and post a pic of my body to prove myself a retarded faggot like you ? I am trying to help to OP because of he is getting memed hard by fucktards that doesnt know anything.
Wyatt Gomez
i just put rear and medial delt with back day and anterior with chest day, don't see much of a point in having an entire day for something that is 2/3rds worked with other muscle groups
John Hughes
Low reps, high weight is usually considered strength. This is typically 3 to 5 reps.
Moderate reps, moderate weight is usually considered "hypertrophy". This is usually 8 to 12 reps, though sometimes as low as 6.
High reps, light weight is usually for endurance. This is usually 15+ reps. The notable exception is stubborn muscle groups like calves and forearms.
Tyler Cox
>that doesn't know anything
you can barely speak english, why would anyone trust you? just admit to the fact you're a retarded dyel shitskin because it literally takes only like a minute to take a picture and post it
Jackson Lopez

Blake Cook
This routine is hot garbage. Try this one instead.
Julian Moore

Gavin Gomez
OP looks good
I would add stiff legged deadlifts right after squats. Those are my favorite for Hams/glutes
Samuel Clark
Fit is filled with retards nowadays. I gave you 2 research,give me a single research that hypertrophy programs is better for natural lifters than I will post a pic of my body for you.
Benjamin Sanders
OP how long were you on SL? Did SL for a month and then PPL routine for 2. I stalled on strength while doing PPL and went back to SL, got stronger!
Nicholas Carter
i'd recommend adding sitting calf raises to legs
Jacob Jones
6 months. As I stated earlier I am repping DL: 320 Squat: 285 Bench: 195 OHP: 145
Liam Morgan
>I gave you 2 research,give me a single research
dude holy shit go back to the zone from STALKER or something you're killing me with this retarded ass broken english of yours
the burden of proof is on YOU for saying hypertrophy programs don't work, so that means unless you can actually prove it by posting a pic of your DYEL ass and blowing me out of the water with it then you are wrong - your research is shit and doesn't matter, all that matters is how your program is better based on how you look, either post pic now, or get
Jaxson James
The way I'd structure that split is something like this:
Rows (chest supported) Weighted Chins DB Rows Pulldowns Curls
Legs: Squats RDLs Leg Press Leg Curls Calves
Shoulders:
Shoulder Press Lateral Raises Face Pulls Reverse Flies Abs
The reasoning for the standalone shoulder day is mostly to maintain good shoulder health by having 4 non internal rotation pulling exercises per cycle to balance the 3 pushing movements on chest day and to make sure shoulder progression is smooth and not affected by pushing movements that take priority on chest day. A total of 6 pull to 3 push movements. The more days you split your work into, the more freedom you have to make sure your routine is as balanced as possible.
Shoulders are a priority for any good physique, especially in more advanced lifters, it makes no sense to train them as an afterthought. The same thing goes for legs, if you do a pull day with heavy deadlifts at the start, you're not going to squat your max the day after on leg day and you're not going to be able to progressively overload after a while, so there's no point in making squats your primary leg movement that day since you're getting severely reduced benefits.
Dominic Bell
He posted that full body routines are optimal for size gains with two articles as evidence. I don't think his claim is necessarily that hypertrophy routines don't work. Also I don't think you quite understand logic fallacies if you think he needs to find research against your claim. (Where is your pic, btw)?
Noah Price
Yeah I've made some minor adjustments including replacing the standing calf raises with seated calf raises. My calves are in-proportionately strong compare to everything else so the Idea of resting 400 lbs on my shoulders doesn't really appeal to me.
Jordan Collins
Standing and seated calf raises both train different muscles friend. Either use a machine or do high volume high rep standing calf raises. Utilise other techniques to reduce stress on the body like pausing reps in the contracted position for several seconds or a dip belt.
Grayson Rogers
>Yeah I've made some minor adjustments including replacing the standing calf raises with seated calf raises. that will put the strain off your gastrocnemius and into your soleus (assuming you mean straight vs bent knees) why not do both?
Brandon Scott
he's saying they don't work in comparison to full body routines, and 2 shoddy studies like i said don't count
YOU don't seem to understand logical fallacies or even arguments in general if you think you don't need to have evidence to prove something wrong - he called hypertrophy shit, he needs to prove it with showing how good he looks fully body programs, not me; every board on here has their own way of winning arguments, Veeky Forums has talk shit post fit, /k/ has gun displays, /tv/ has cunny folder sizes, Veeky Forums has CBTs, until he draws arms and shows me that shit body, i and everybody else will assume he's wrong
Grayson Perry
So in other words you're retarded. Got it.
Daniel Cooper
>get BTFO with common sense >"y-yur j-j-just re-retarded"

Matthew Phillips
Not him, you're autistic, full body programs have the most supporting research however splits have the best ancedotal evidence. Lift however you want and do whatever gives you the bet results and stop being autistic. Posting guns or cb is not winning the argument, it's winning a dick measuring contest.
Nicholas Morgan
You seem pretty upset, friend.

Looks boring as fuck. Whatever floats your boat I guess
Luis Collins
PHUL's working pretty well for me and my lifts are similar to yours OP.
PPL looks fun but desu if you have a job/are active/have a social life then it's hard to keep up with. Upper-lowers 4x a week give you a good mix of volume and rest.
Hudson Davis
Is it better to do shoulders on leg day ke chest and tricep day
Logan Turner
Or*
Please respond
Colton Sanchez
Depends on your goals. If you want to OHP heavy it has to go on a push day which includes triceps. If you just want big shoulders, you can put it on leg day and do dumbbell work.
Henry Long
i'm doing this + u/l
like thios: lower/uper/rest/legs/push/pull/rest
going great atm, had PPLPPLX before and it was to much, stopped gaining muscle after like 1 month. lifting since 5 months
John Cox
stupid fuck
enjoy being skelly forever, ive gained 20kg (total, not lean, mass) in the last year doing a split 5 days a week 2 hours training
Kayden Morgan
This smells of trappy. He is the most cancerous thing to happen to this board. Swear on me mum
Samuel Wood
I can only do a six day split if i'm bulking. My body can't handle it on a cut so i've been doing 5/3/1. I can't fuckin wait to be bulking again so i can go back to high volume training. Gonna be sick
