Routine rate thread

Thanks. After your first comment I was originally thinking after the curls to help make sure I emphasize lats with the pulldowns. Would doing it after OHP be better because of the opposing muscle groups?

if you do lat pulldowns doing them after the curls sounds fine, but doing chin/pull ups after curls is quite a pain and imo not really super productive since arms giving out = no more pull/chin ups.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

>Punching with dumbbells

Don't do this

full body MWF while recovering from injury

bench press 3x12
cable chest flies 3xF
lateral rows 3xF sometimes deadlifts 3x5 beforehand
shoulder press 3xF or rear delt flies 3xF
leg press 3x10 or squats 3x8
curls every now and then 3xF
tricep pushdown 3xF
planks 3x90secs+ each

Noted, is there a reason why?

it does jack shit for you, injury risk and it's gay and autistic as fuck

Okay, I'll stop

Here's a link to my 5/week full-body Kettlebell-only routine (with graphics, because no one knows what some of these are):
docs.google.com/document/d/1WtTtbBR0hlenAGIX_O3Dsoc9qwQjun4GcZOwOEtOQrQ/edit?usp=sharing

>Bent over rows, both palms facing in 3x10
I really don't like bent-over rows but I don't know what you should do instead. So I guess it's cool.

>Running (or any cardio): xxRxxRx
>Lifts: ABxABxx
Solid plan.

I like punching with dumbbells actually. You need to keep tense but it's not particularly dangerous imo.

I can dig it.

----------
I'd give out more (you)s but I hardly know what I'm talking about.

be more selective, focus on increasing the weights

A:
chinups 5x5
t bar rows 3x8
ohp 5x5
good mornings 3x6
farmers walks 2 sets

B:
Facepulls 3x15
bench press 5x5
close grip bench 3x8
barbell curls 4x8
cable pulldowns 4x8

C:
squat 5x5
romanian deadlifts 3x8
leg press 3x8
calves

keep the cardio if u want, do leg raises instead of crunches

Will give this one a think. Had a break on lifting due to no food and midsummers eve.

Any reason for leaving out side laterals, reverse curls and shrugs?

Any tips on getting a good calve exercise? Tried 3-way calve raises, dumbbell calf raises and front/back racked squat position calf raises already.

Also want to incorporate dips into the program, cause of memes. Should it be on A or B?

AxAxAxx

Weighted Pullups 3x8
Bench Press 5x5
Low Row 5x5
Dips 3x8
OHP 5x5
Leg Routine as suggested by my physiotherapist due to cruciate rupture

Not sure if should do all 5x5, is this mixed plan counterproductive?

farmers walks are better than shrugs for traps. you can do dips instead of tricep pushdowns.
standing calf raises with your toes on a raised surface for full rom work for me. either dumbbells or barbell on the back. that and cycling

Thanks user. You're alright.

rate my fullbody routine 3x a week

alternating each sesssion between deadlifts and squats 4x6
bench press 4x6
ohp 4x6
rows 4x6
chins 4x6 (cant really do that many yet)

and then finishing every workout with doing two of the following exercises for 4x12 (switching the 2 every session)

bicep curls
tricep extensions
side lateral raises
calf raises

been lifting 4 months on a push/pull but i feel like this might be better. good or bad for size and strength?

Rates?

ABxABxx

A:
squat
pull up
row
curls

B:
bench
ohp
incline bench
dips

bench: 110kg x 5
squat: 140kg x 5
rows: 100kg x 8
pullup: 30kg x 5
dips: 40kg x 5

started with this routine and still doing it.
any point in changing anything as long as I keep gaining strength?

dont want to be an asshole but pls only critique from people who are stronger, thats why I posted my stats.

Can someone plz rate?

Sounds like one hell of a workout. Better than most 3/week workouts in my estimation.

pls

anyone?

To complex a thing to consider for the dyels itt. Maybe post in the routine general rather than the routine rate thread.

not bad. the volume will get to be too much though once you get stronger
consider, in the future, splitting the whole thing up like

A: squat, bench, rows, bis/tris
B: deadlifts, ohp, chins, shoulder and calf work

use varying rep schemes like 5x5, 5x3, 5x1, 8x2, 3x10.

do aba one week then bab another week

keep going then.
why no floor pulls?

3 days a week:
Squat sets of 3 to a comfortable 3 rep max
bench sets of 3 to a comfortable 3 rep max
rows 5x5 decreasing the weight
progressive pulls: work up to a powr clean comfortable 3 rep max, then clean pulls, then deadlifts both up to a 3 rep max

supposed to be done for 2-3 months.

thx, solid advice

I have a 3pl8 x 5 squat after three months . I have two volume days for squats and one strength day . I'm probably not qualified to tell you anything about other lifts tbqh famalam .

You might wanna throw in some DLs

set x reps?

How is this for a routine? What are its pros, cons and things I should look out for? is it good for a beginner?

OP here. So I assume this routine is fine? :)

Monday (heavy)
Bench Press 5x5-7
Bent-Over Row 5x5-7
Squat 5x5-7
Barbell Curl 5x5-7
Abs 3x12-15

Wednesday(light)
Press 4x10-15
Wide-grip Pull-Up 4x10-15
Squat 4x10-15
Forearm work 4-6x12-20
Neck work 4-6x12-20

Incline Press 4x8-12
Power Clean/High Pull 5x5-7
Front Squat 4x8-12
Decline Triceps Extension 4x8-12
Calves 3x12-20

i like it, personally i would have a little less volume on light day (2 sets) but its good. also, power cleans should be done for sets of 3 and most. front squats should be lower rep too.

Today I did cable rows because bot cage and rack were occupied, there was a big gloot sloot squatting.
Anyway, I did them with strict form, vertical torso and no momentum whatsoever...boy did they wreck my lats.
I never had lats and never felt bent over rows working them, maybe I should start incorporating cable or DB rows into SS

Push:
3x5 bench press

3x5 incline bench press

3x5 db press

3x5 incline db press

3x8-12 tri pushdowns

Pull:
3x5 deadlift

2x5+ pullup/chinup

3x5 seated rows

3x5 bb rows

3x5 bb curls/hammer curls

Legs:
3x5 squat

3x8 press

3x8-12 extensions

PPLxPPL

Adding 2.2kg or 5lbs to bench, every first PPL of the week, and 4.5kg or 10lbs to deadlifts and squats every first PPL as well.
