This is the routine I put together that I'm going to start in mid fall and was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's good or if there's anything they'd add or take away. Also general routine thread.
Monday: Squat Weighted dips Weighted chins Db rows Push ups
Wednesday: Powerclean Front squat OHP Pull ups Push ups
Friday: DL DB bench Pull ups/chins Push ups Hamstring curls
I'm not sure i understand what's going on with this spreadsheet thing
Brandon Martinez
what's there to clarify?
Levi Brown
Nvm I'm just dumb. I like it, what's the schedule throughout the week?
Dylan Hughes
No idea.
It looks like a PLP. However, according to the notes above, everything should be done to Failure and with max weights all the time (???).
So I assume it's impossible to run this on a PLPx pattern but you would have to at most do PxLxPx which, according to Veeky Forums defeats the whole purpose of a split.
Can someone expert advise?
Liam Butler
I assume for the working sets you'd go moderately heavy and then lower the weight for the burn out set. Where did you get this routine from?
Jason Edwards
I cant recall, that's the problem. I had it on my HD somewhere and wanted to start trying it but vetting through Veeky Forums first as it has a weird setup.
Only thing I know is that the excel sheet is called "heavy weight.xls" - not helpful at all.
Dylan Roberts
Can anyone recommend a good Push/Pull/Legs routine?
However is there any advantage if, instead of 2 rest days (day 6 and 7), I only do one rest day on day 6 (and restart on day 7)? This way the workout would be 5.5 days/week (averaged over two weeks) rather than the prescribed 4 days/week.
Thoughts?
Xavier Adams
You guys actually have set routines? I just go to our the gym and do whatever as long as I hit every muscle twice a week
Kevin Brown
More squats, more oats
Juan Watson
If you're going light why only 5 reps? And maybe relpace the machine row or the chins with 3x5 weighted chins seeing as how you don't really have a strength exercise for pulling besides DLs
Christopher Watson
>daily repetitions should reach upwards of 2000 if not 4000
>30+sets for one exercise in not unusual
rich plz

Most people here need them because they are new to exercise and simply don't have any understanding of their own body.
Kayden Allen
yeah because having a plan has proven to be bad in every area of life, right?
routines push you harder in almost all cases. when doing "whatever" it's easier to skip that last set because you think you're done. it's easier to go a bit ligher. it's easier to skip that extra rep that a routine would FORCE you to do. of course some people can still progress quite well doing just whatever, but most people will simply be more efficient with a routine

>inner pec day I'm being baited
Carter Rodriguez
No you silly cunt.
It's about people who have the understanding and will power to get a decent workout without needing to adhere to a program to do it.
By the by, the best and life long lifters from old usually just lifted whatever every day and never FORCED THEMSELVES HARDCORE BRUH!! until it was time to show off.
Isaiah Wood
Its from a humour thread, the routine i wrote out is the one i wanted people to look at
Charles Jackson
Why are you doing so many push-ups
Alexander Taylor
Mostly for musclular endurance
Isaac Wilson
Just finished cutting 3 weeks, gonna start Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 BBB to make up for a bad strength base.
Been lifting on and off for 3 years, starting with SS but very fast switching to a hypertrophy push pull.
btw question about it, its a 3 month program where every month you increase the assistance work from your working set from 50%, to 60%, to 70%. Can you do this program for longer than 3 months, and if so do you stay on the 70%?
Juan King
I think that's way too much frequency for such a high intensity workout. 2 sets of deadlifts is already a lot, especially at the start of your workout. You'll be drained for your bench. You're pressing too much, you have 5 sets of horizontal pressing movements, only 3 sets of rows, you're going to end up with muscle imbalances in your shoulders.

bullshit
Matthew Hughes
It's kind of true. A lot of the old performer strongmen apparently did a lot of their training with low rep submax sets on a fairly high frequency.
Of course, when you're talking about guys who press in the 3s and pull in the 6s while only weighing 200ish you tend to find very different definitions of 'harcore' or 'max effort' to the average person.
Ian Edwards
>A lot of the old performer strongmen apparently did a lot of their training with low rep submax sets on a fairly high frequency
yes, but that is totally different from "just lifting whatever every day"
Elijah Ward
hows this look? my friend who's a personal trainer helped make this for me. +20 min bike roughly 3-4 times a week
only question is i started my cut last week, will this hold up until i hit my desired goal?
hope the pic aint too small
Blake Nguyen
Maybe add dumbbell rows as accessories, shift the deads to the end of the main workout and revert to 3xweek?
Why do you leave DLs at the end of your workouts and how long have you been working out?
Camden Anderson
Cause DL really fucks up my grip and can't really do anything after it.I have been lifting for 7 months but only last 3 months committed to a program and slow bulking. Right now doing a split but don't really like going 6 times a week and want to know if this program can actually work.
Kayden Collins
Been doing Greyskull LP for about 3 weeks, and just had a good ole' chat with the PT at my gym and he said it was retarded pretty much.
He then went onto saying doing a strength program as a beginner is wrong, instead should do hypertrophy and then strength programs after a year or so of weightlifting.
I honestly don't know what I should do now. My overall goal is to obviously look good, but also be able to lift a decent amount ya'know.
And suggestions? (Been weightlifting for about 2 or so months)
