Seriously? You're doing 2 exercises and calling it a day?
Jonathan Mitchell
hey its working for me sometimes i do a few flies on mondays, lateral raises on wednesdays but yea low volume has been working really well for me
Liam Cox
What else have you tried to know that it's working for you?
How do you know you won't get better results doing something else?
Where did you get this from anyway? The way they put together the exercises has no method.
Kevin Brown
ive tried 531, texas method, intermediate 5x5 routines, upper lower splits. This so far has been giving me the best rate of results.
As for the formatting theres a bench day, a deadlift/press day, and a squat day that includes upper body accessories. ive played with the formatting and this has been the layout thats worked best.
I got this from the guy who wrote dinosaur training (an old training book)
Justin Myers
Planing to do the following soon. Any other accessories you'd recommend? Aiming for 4 exercises each day.
>Monday ohp 3-4x3-5 (3 or 4 sets of 3 to 5 reps) close-grip bench press 3x10-12 barbell rows 3x6-8 tricep extensions 3x10-15
Your program lacks any vertical pulling movements. you should add in chin ups man . you can do them weighted on Thursday for 3x5 before you do the reverse curls And Lat Pulldowns on Monday
Jaxon Parker
If you train for 6 months and you do the arnold mass blueprints, while eating the right amount of kcals, (just enough not too much in order not to pack too much fat) everyday and always get the workout done, would you get big gains? Since beginners can pack more muscle, and this workout has big volume and intensity..
Easton Carter

Jose Barnes
I'd personally ditch the upright rows from Thursday too, you're already doing two pressing moves that day. Do side laterals and face pulls instead
Kayden Martinez
do the same (eating alot, 6 months consistency) but with a 4 day a week routine

You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form.

I wanted to say that i only trained for 6/7 months but im doing the program and i can actually do it (at leats the phase 1), ive trained hard before already. I have time now to do the 6days a week train and i wanted to give it a try, just wondering if it is a good program to gain some lean mass as a beginner? Im informed about how to eat and i do it correctly since i started to workout. Thanks
Joseph Morales
imo that specific routine is a bit advanced for you. i would focus on really getting your compound lifts up and maybe 1 or 2 isolation exercises. but, if you must, you can gain on that program providing you eat and rest enough
Angel Ward
Push CG Bench 3x5 Dips 5x10 Lateral Raises 5x10
Pull Deadlift 1x5 Weighted Pull Ups 3x10 Barbell Curls 3x6-10 Face Pulls 3 x 10-20

Horrible shoulder joint genetics so a lot of face pulls to keep things in working order.

if your shoulder joints are bad i would avoid dips. what is your workout frequency?
D: Climbing D1) Crimps and Hangboard D2) Severe Overhang and Levers D3) Projects D4) Pinches and Campus work
A/B/D1/D2/C/D3/D4
asc - increase weight each set. paired numbering denotes supersets. at least one warmup set for hypertrophy lifts. at least two warmup sets for strength lifts (unless asc).
Jack Roberts
is PHUL good for a natty after SS?
Benjamin Gutierrez
yes.
Eli Jackson
Yeah, I used to do them with decent weight but now I just do bodyweight. It's relatively safe because of that, but my need for progression makes me wanna add some weight and cut the volume too (but vicious cycles are a thing). I just really love the bang for buck the movement affords.
It's just a minimalist three day split where I take advantage of the "leg" day to put in some added frequency since most informed people are proponents of a 2x weekly approach for maximum natty gains.
Joseph Nguyen
Got this from Eric Helms' book. Planning on running it when I start bulking next week. Any thoughts/comments?

Why not do regular grip bench then do close grip/triceps dips while in a more chest-dip angle? I've been doing this recently and can do good weight even with shitty left shoulder
Aaron Stewart
A1 - push squat 3x5 ohp 3x5 db bench 3x10

sometimes i throw in biceps curl 2x8-12 hammer curl 2x8-12 lateral raise 3x12 triceps cable 2x8-12 farmers walk 3 sets
on some days, if i have time and i split it up, of course, triceps goes with A biceps with B lateral raises and farmers walks whenever
Michael Cox
the other B is B2, not B1 again, fucked up a bit
doesnt matter tho
Carson Adams
nice selection of weighted calisthenics, by far my fav exercises although I don't agree with your volume. I am wondering for someone thats a climber how much you weighted chin up?
Gabriel Rivera
Great routine
Brody Flores
Not the same guy, but I do pullups with 2 plates and chinups with 2.5 plate is that good? what are the standards for this stuff?

Pull: Weighted pull ups 3 sets reverse pyramid Hang cleans 4 x 8 Barbell curls 3 x 5ish
I sometimes do some more accessory exercises if I feel like it, or even some leg presses or leg extension, handstand pushups, front levers etc. But the first lift on each exercise is all I really care about and since I hit my top set fresh every workout, I can make consistent personal records. This is basically a modified kinobody / leangains approach. Before you knock the super low volume I dare you to try it out for atleast a month and watch your strength explode. Only lift 3 times a week max! Often less.
Christian Lopez
That's solid weight my friend. Can I ask you how much frequency is good for weighted chins/pulls? I'm at 1pl8 for 5 reps right now and weigh 178
Elijah Clark
Garbage. No progressive overload. No weights or gym? Try working up to being able to do 50 pushups in a row. And for your 36 minute run try running to a kids playground and do pullups and chin ups there
Jack Wright
Well I don't consider myself an expert but I'd say my best progress in weight going up was when i was doing them both twice a week along with lighter vertical back movements like pulldowns.

Thomas Cooper
Looks OK to me, but I don't think I'd be able to do all those 3X6's with full effort on the same day but if you can do it then go ahead. Day 3 I'd drop the reverse wrist curls and buy a forearm roller or make one, probably the best 15 quid I've spent for gym equipment.
Logan James
I rotate exercises every few months, by far the most important thing to me is to consistently break personal records. My chest is lacking over my shoulders both in terms of physique and strength standards. My last routine I focused on overhead press and also had some cuban presses. I can overhead press close to my bodyweight for reps, deficit strict form handstand pushups for about 4 or 5 reps as well so my pressing is pretty advanced.
Cooper Nguyen
Appreciate the feedback. I think I should be fine on doing a lot of 3x6, I lifted for 3 years before my injury and I've done plenty of volume.
I never have felt a lot from Wrist rollers, they just make my forearms burn, but it doesn't feel like I'm building muscle.

I don't have access to a proper gym, just shitty hotel gyms. The one I go to only has 30lb dumbbells and one of those "Life Fitness" machines.

So far I've been making decent noob gains, but I've been thinking of incorporating BW into A and B and replacing everything in C with swimming.
Cooper Diaz
15 is the highest rep i would ever go to, and why start push with shoulders and not chest? by the time you hit chest your triceps will be too tired to stress your chest enough, unless you switch them round every workout which could work. Use OHP instead of military, a stronger and more stable base will allow you to push more weight.
Parker Sanchez
Get access to a proper gym, cables won't do much for you in about 2 weeks.
Robert Hall
>front squats >3x10-12 This will self correct

I can't, all the good gyms are blacks only, there's one gym in the middle of the island that's pretty decent, but membership is too pricey atm. I will get a membership eventually, but until then I need something to do for the noob gains.
Jason Ortiz
kek enjoy your no gains
Henry Ward
I can manage 3x3 chest-to-bar chins with 100lbs. Doing them on rings right now though, so weight has dropped a bit. Also, I'm 190lbs. Eventual goal is to pull off a weighted chin with 180lbs at a bodyweight of 180lbs.
I try to keep volume relatively low and intensity high for most of my lifts (other than those related to pre-hab and vanity) because I feel like strength/power rep ranges have the best transfer for bouldering.
Ethan Nelson
Hey Veeky Forums. I came to you a few years ago looking to cut some weight with dieting and other helpful tips like that and now that i'm down from 240 to 180 I'm looking to start getting to the gym... I got a Mon-Fri job that leaves me right next to a gym every evening with a spare 2-3 hours of time I can give to working out. Would y'all help me make a beginners stamina and fat cutting routine?

Can only workout 4 days a week for the foreseeable future. Monday to Thursday. Aiming for aesthetics mainly I have been doing an upper lower split ULULxxx but it doesn't feel like the best way to do it
> just work out Friday Early starts at about the same time my gym opens and late finishes pretty much bang on when the gym closes >workout in the weekend Gym closed >get a new gym There is none >make a home gym Poor and no space
2x12 rear laterals (3x facepulls later on) 2x10 Chins
After numbers get higher Weighted chins
B OHP/RGBP 2x5 1x amrap Lowbar squat 2x5 1x5 (until it gets heavy near the end, then maybe front squats) Deadlift 1x5
Dips 3xamrap 2x DB or EZ bar carry C Ohp/RGBP 2x5 1x amrap Lowbar squat 2x5 1x amrap Pendlay row 2x5 1x amrap
2x12 rear laterals (3x facepulls later on) 2x10-12 chins
After numbers get higher, Weighted chins Bar is often cleaned up each set for OHP Often times 1x shrug at the end of rows Practicing clean and snatch form Wrist rolling 1-2x a week.
If strongman training is my eventual goal, should I focus on highbar squatting now, or just switch over later on? As I understand lowbar squatting might carry over better to deadlifts, and it allows you to move more weight. Should I not throw in front squats on B day once I get my squat to about ~280-300? I like the exercise a lot, but I still don't know my way around so well.

>40+ chin ups every work out >48 face pulls monday >do db rows to warm up before heavy bench sets >Pause deadlifts massively tax whole back
I do more chin ups than bench press/press alone. I think I'm alright in that regard, adding anything like rows would be stupidly taxing on my lower back as I'm already hitting that heavy every day. Cable rows on wednesday could work but I don't really see the point in it.
Jayden Moore
Stronglifts 5x5 with added dips and push-ups on A and pull-ups and curls on B... AxBxAx(conditioning hiit session) I don't do cardio as I fuck 4-5x week for 30-45 min per set
Need some feedback. I'm stuck on finding out what to do on Friday.
Alternatively, I'm also considering simplifying my routine to doing one of the 4 core workouts once per week and base the accessories each day around that core workout, but I'm afraid that I won't progress on my lifts as much.
