I do a 5/3/1 style for my main lifts and hypertrophy secondary exercises. I took a screenshot of my spreadsheet; easier than typing it all out. It's not perfect by any means. But all the programs I've made have been similar to this one and it has been working for me so far.
Lift stats so far:
Bench: 260x1
OHP: 170x1
Squat: 425x1
Deadlift: 475x4 (Trying for 500 on saturday)
aint got no routine.. well, kinda.
got tired of doing a strikt routine, so now i just do a 3 day push pull legs kinda thing, about 3 exercises per body part, i i feel like going heavy i go heavy that workout, if i feel like going lighter and just chasing the pump i just do.
i dont go to the gym to pretend im a powerlifter or bodybuilder, i just go there to feel good and keep in shape.
Awesome stuff breh. Thanks for posting. Might give this a shot

Good routines out there for military strength? Considering enlisting after I finish college and I want to be stronger/bigger than I currently am since my endurance already meets the standards.
5'10 145 lbs atm
OP here, just did your thursday routine, found myself really enjoying it. Gonna do it for a week and see if I modify anything. Thanks again user
Looks like you need to do some more core work outs, your bf is low enough, you should get yourself a nice six pack before bulking imo
I've heard good things about kris gethan's daily muscle builder. Might be something worth checking out
I'm doing a 3day/week A B thing where I do a push day and a pull/legs day. Works well for me.
bodybuilding.com
I did this, couldn't figure out what to do next. So I just started it again.
Started in August this year at 145lb
Currenly 171lb
A little over 1.5y ago I weighed 130.
No arms, no chest, no calves, piss stains on boxers. Noicee.
Be fair; his calves are more there than his entire upper body combined
475x4 deadlift, but trying 500? you might have some unstable technique with your deadlift that causes you to break down sooner than you should at heavy weights
when I pulled 405x5, I pulled 500x1 the week after, I couldn't have pulled 475 for more than one rep.
Just reminds me of how disgusting I was when I weighed 130
No piss stain, dick cropped out for Veeky Forums
How long did it take you to pull 5pl8?
That's absolute bullshit. I can move 210kg for a triple but I still wouldn't attempt anything higher than 225 for a single. 90 fucking pounds out of a goddamn 5? No. You don't just add that much weight.
Is SS the best routine for straight up strength? Not looking for mass
pls halp
Ss is a starting point so you can learn the movements, build your cns and Nail down proper form.
You would then move to a more specific program (Such as powerlifting)
You would also know this if you
>READ THE FUCKING STICKY
I did SS in the past but never broke 100/150/215/250
Should I just start from the beginning?
I literally did it, though? This might come as a shock, but ability to do reps with a certain percentage of 1rm varies wildly between people. But being able to do 95% for 4 reps like that guy before indicates his technique is unstable.
Took me about two years of consistent lifting.
Are you lifting consistently still?
> obligatory read sticky
No I stopped like 12 mo ago, working and school full time made it hard to get a consistent schedule
thanks dude
This routine gave me the best results and was the most fun to do.
>Day 1 – Chest
- Bench 5/3/1 with first rep last
- Incline Bench 5x10 @ 50-70% WM
- Face Pulls 5x10
- Chestly Flyes 3x10
>Day 2 – Deadlift
- Deadlift 5/3/1 with first rep last
- Squats 5x10 @ 50-70% WM
- Pull ups (assisted) 5x10
- Incline Curls 3x8
- Reverse Curls 3x8
>Day 3 – Shoulders
- OHP 5/3/1 with first rep last
- Bench 5x10 @ 50-70% WM
- Face Pulls 5x10
- Lateral Raises 3x8
>Day 4 – Squats
- Squats 5/3/1 with first rep last
- Deadlift 5x10 @ 50-70% WM
- Pulls ups (assisted) 5x10
- Dumbbell Row 3x8
In order to get something out of this routine you should probably be at 1/2/3/4 for at least a set of 5.
Sorry, the assisted pull-ups shouldn't be on there, I just changed that when I gave this routine layout to a friend who wanted to switch things up.
It should be weighted pullups 3xF on deadlift day and bodyweight pullups 5x10 on squat day
Also, face pulls aren't necessary at that volume that often unless you're like me and have relatively weak posterior delts.
Help me help you here. What branch are you enlisting in, and for what position? Advice for a guy going into the Army as a pencil counter is going to be drastically different from a guy going into Marine training.
I'm doing Greyskull LP on a massive cut (I want to drop 10 kg ASAP). It's simple, fun and gives me plenty of time for cardio. I can't wait to go in tomorrow for squats, bench and Pendlay rows.
I'm not the op but I'm going into the navy in a few months. Just want enough strength to make boot camp a breeze. What do you suggest?
I'm about to get my BSc and while I don't want to be an officer now I think I may want to later. For now I want to enlist as a 68W and get airborne with my contract, if not an op40.
Push ups, sit ups, and running are going to be your bread and butter. Butterfly kicks and pull ups are your next priority, and everything else depends on who's drilling you.
Running is pretty straight forward. If you can run two miles, then you'll be fine. If you can run 3 miles (your training typically ends in a 5k marathon) then even better. If you want to be an officer, then start working on 5 miles. There are plenty of 5k running guides online. Take your pick. Just get to running.
Push ups and sit ups are the next, and alongside flutterkicks/planks/squats/whatever your Drill Instructor thinks is funny to watch they'll be your main source of punishment as well. An easy program for increasing your numbers is: Find your one minute max. (Let's say it's 45.) Divide that by three. (15 here, you got this.) Every day, do three sets of that three and rest one minute between the sets. (So 15, rest, 15, rest, 15.) Then up the number by one every day. (On day two do 16, rest, 16, rest, 16.) If you can get your one minute max to 60 each for pushups and situps, then you're golden.
Navy basic is like a halfway point between the Army's "Zone out and pretend you're in a gym class." style and the Air Force's "Let's get in their heads and try to get them to commit suicide." style. Just do whatever exercise they tell you to do, and remember that they're not allowed to hit you anymore. You'll do fine. Marines are a totally different story in every aspect.
How many different exercises is too many for a session? e.g. is 6 exercises too much for one muscle group if I do 3 sets of each etc
Glad ya liked it.
What should I do if I plan on becoming a marine officer?
Please answer :(((
user?
Bumping for this user's sake
Hey fit! Need some advice on my abs routine. I basically do a 3 day split PPL (PxPxLxx, 40~80 minutes cardio on rest days). My main work out is about 40 minutes, and then I do around 20 minutes of abs training. Thing is, I can't find a good progression, so here's what I do, I'd like your opinion on it...
15Kg/33 lbs weighted plank (1'15" each side, and 1'15" one arm/one leg, so 5 minutes total)
10 hanging knee raise (I use a home pull up bar so I can't really do hanging leg raises)
30 weighted crunch (10Kg/22lbs)
40 bicycle weighted crunch (10Kg/22lbs)
20 Leg raise (lying)
20 Knee raise (lying)
30 Weighted side crunch (10Kg, each sides)
I tried decline crunch/sit ups, but I find them to easy in comparison of the weighted crunch...
thanks man! Do you have any suggestions? I already do the DB Bench Press, DB OHP and DB Curl&Press single handedly to work my core more.
I'd also like to get a bigger back.
100 reps military press, every other day
I've been in SS for 4 months and I'm going to switch to Candito's Linear Strenght/Hypertrophy. However, I'd like to fuck around this christmas and use it to deload with full hypertrophy. Which hypertrophy routine would you recommend for 1 month? I'm not retarded, I know that running a routine for 1 month does nothing, my intention is is getting some fresh air before hopping back in
I work out mon wen fri and do a push pull split with legs on pull day, i really like the 1,5 per week frequency and just love the pp split.

What's the point
>implying what routine you do has any significant effect on how you look
>implying it doesnt
You don't directly hit your abs, nor your traps. And I'm not sure how much you hit your back with the squats...
80-90% of results are diet and consistency.
Even if you routine is total and utter crap, if you're consistently training and have a good diet, you'll see good results.
you forgot genetics. diet, consistency and genetics are the main factors that determine how you look. routine choice is not that important as long as it's not completely retarded.
can someone rate my PPL?

Just curious, how long does it take you to do it?
I haven't tried any higher weights yet. Doing the normal progression of 5/3/1. Rather slowly build up than rush into a heavier weight.
Doing Sean10mm's SS rn with a flatmate. Started with no lifting experience mid-September, and I was thinking of transitioning into Bill Starr's 5x5 come January (Christmas break right now, will likely not find much time to work out when I come back home between family & friends).
Current:
AxBxAxB
xAxBxAx
A
3x5 100kg Squats (with two warmup sets: 1x5 60kg, 1x5 80kg)
1x5 110kg DL (warmups: 1x5 70kg, 1x5 90kg)
3x5 70kg Bench (warmups: 1x5 50kg, 1x5 60kg)
2x10 Barbell bicep curls (currently 35kg)
2x10 bweight dips
B
(Squats same as A)
3x5 60kg Pendlay rows (warmups: 1x5 40kg, 1x5 50kg)
3x5 40kg OHP (warmups: 1x5 25kg, 1x5 30kg)
2x10 Underhand Lat pulldowns (57.5 kg)
2x10 Overhand Lat pulldowns (54.5 kg)
198cm/6'6" 98kg/216lbs
I'd want to go for something that'd build muscle more evenly. My goal is to overall become stronger but not to completely neglect isolations (currently my chest and arms need work from what I've been told). Would adding flights to workout A help or should I dive into 5x5 and just watch my diet more carefully?
Usualy 1:00-1:20
So I want to get back to lifting

About to start Arnold's blueprint to mass, anyone done it?
Not much shoulder work in there
you'll smash 500
conservatively your max should be around 525
Thanks bro. I'm going to do it here in 3 hours or so.
If I could add only one main exercise a week to this it would me the standing OHP
>deads last
>behind 3 different types of curls
for what purpose
how are you not exhausted by the end for those
Still bumping that.
should i do the dead lift before the curls?
I would think bench, ohp, squat and deadlift should always be first for their respective days.
Just did the Friday workout; switched weighted pull ups for lat pull downs and added an extra set. Also ran a mile after, and 15 minutes in sauna after, feeling good. I haven't deadlifted in years, but did my 1 rep @ 2.5 pl8s, prolly could've done more but didn't wanna overexert and injure myself. It's pretty shitty but damn it felt nice doing those again.

Normally you do the lifts use bigger muscle groups. Compound lifts->isolation lifts. That's my perspective though
Is this too extreme for an intermediate lifter getting back into fitness after 2 years of a broken hand? Planning on doing this completely with dumbells unless otherwise specified.
I wanna say not at all, but everyone is different. I'd say start with dumbbells, and once you feel comfortable, move on to barbell. Just don't be stupid, I.e., "hurr derr let me lift 225 right away". You know your body best, don't rush into heavier weights and you'll be fine.
If I do PHUL, can I swap out deadlifts with something like bent over rows on a machine or something?
I have herniated discs and I can't DL.
Same things with squats, actually. Can I sub in with something like leg press?
I do a plp routine. Everything 3x5 except the ones I name
Pull
Weighted pulls
Deadlifts
Lat pull downs 3x10
Rear delt raises 3x12
Db rows 3x10
Legs
Rdl
Bb hip thrusts
Leg curls 3x15
Calf raises 5x20
Pull
Weighted chins
Bent over rows
Power cleans
Shrugs if I can do it after the cleans. 3x20 though if I'm not done
Plpxxplpxx
How fucking fat are you that you can do 1/2/3/4 for a set of 5, but need to do assisted pullups for 5x10?
Sweet! I'm gonna sub the Barbell rows with one hand dumbell rows as its gonna be easier on my hand.
How fucking dumb are you that you can't read the rest of the thread?
Monday
Squat 3x5
Press 3x5
Supine pendlay row 3x5
Suitcase carries 3x
Optional
2-3x10-15 Lateral Raise/2x10-15 DB curl
Wednesday
Reverse close grip 3x5
Squat light 3x5
Deadlift 1x5
Shrugs 3x6-8
Friday
Press 3x5
Squat 3x5
Supine Pendlay row 3x5
Suitcase carries 3x
Optional
2-3x10-15 Lateral Raise/2x10-15 DB curl
Power clean practice whenever until I can see a coach, then PCing on Monday and Friday, replacing shrugs with rows and weighted chins after I PC.
Eventually switch to chins
Nightly neutral grip chins and facepulls
I think he meant core as in abs and obliques. try captains chair leg raises and reverse cable crunches for core
No front work at all?
You rock, good sir!
10/10 made me turn my life around!
Add rows and some ab work. Some deadlifts would also be noice
AxBxCDx
A:
Squat 5/3/1
Deadlift 5x2 @80-83% of training max
Facepulls 3x12-15
B:
Bench 5/3/1
Cable row 5x10
OHP 3-4x5-8 @65-75% of TM
Facepulls 2x12-15
C:
Deadlift 5/3/1

D:
OHP 5/3/1
Weighted Chin-ups 5x5-8
Bench 3-4x5-8 @65-75% of TM
Lateral raises 2-3x10-12
Joker sets on the 5/3/1 stuff usually every other week. Increase training max after 3 weeks, deload week after 6 weeks.
Not the guy you responded to. But usmc in 29 palms. Got out of MCT and my pullups became next to no existent.
I need a workout routine to improve my pullup/pushup game. While also trying to lose weight. (The number of pullups is more important than the weight)
Still no one?
