Hey Veeky Forums, I am in search of a new routine. Right now I'm running wendler's 5/3/1 but would like to switch to something new. I'm looking for something more hypertrohpy but still having the major compounds.
Also post your routines and rate you dumb nerds

I took three months off from the gym so I'm getting back in by doing stronglifts, but on an ABxABx rotation until i need to deload, at which point I'll switch up to a PPL.
A gets accessory work of DB incline bench, dips and pull ups. B gets accessory work of DB reverse flies, core work, and a kettlebell tabata. Rest days I row 5-10k.
I can't decide if this is a good idea or not, but my lifts dropped by like 80 pounds each so I'm just trying to get back up there as fast as I can.
Carter Mitchell
any faggots here doing an ABxABx routine? if so, spill the beans. if not, will this work?
A (push): Squat 4x5 Bench 4x5 OHP 4x5 Dips 4x8
B (pull): 2 sets of light squats to stretch the glutes Deadlift 1x5 Bent over rows 4x5 Pullups 4x8 Seated rows 4x8 Hip thrusts or something to work the booty a bit more
so the dude above me does NOT have a routine that I'm interested in, other than someone is doing an ABx
Parker Morris
Bored so why not:
Monday: Heavy Push, every day is different >bench either 5/3/1 or 5X5 >Incline Bench 5X5 >Squat 5X5 >Shoulder press/OHP 5X5 or 5/3/1
Tuesday: Heavy Pull >Deads 5X5 and then a few heavy singles >Barbell rows 5X5 >Back work, usually very slow and steady to work on strength >Static holds with 15 lb DBs (usually 30 seconds), shoulder side lateral raise
Wed: Off
Thurs: Push hypertrophy >DB bench and DB incline bench for reps >Squats and leg press/other leg machines for reps >Hammer Strength shoulder press for reps
Fri: Pull Hypertrophy >Deads for reps >Lots of varieties of back work, for reps >Farmer walks, usually 100+ lbs in each hand for about 100 feet
Sat/Sun off, but sometimes will do random workouts if bored
>B 3x5 Bench 1x5 deadlift 3x8 DB bench Rows or chins Arms/facepulls/cable flies
I have intermediate stats. All I want is a bigger chest and arms, I don't care at all about squats but C&P is fun as hell. The arms/facepulls/cable flies aren't every workout, but I didn't how else to write it.

Jayden Perry
I threw RSR, Smolov Jr Bench, and some TM in a blender and that's my routine.
Goal: Gain strength, add weight to all compounds. Lots of volume on the bench because I had/have questionable technique and have struggled on the bench press.
Day 1: Squat Recovery OHP Bench Accessory or two if I'm feeling gay
Day 2: Heavy Squat Bench Power Clean Grip work of some kind because my grip is asshole
Day 3: Squat Recovery Heavy 5RM deadlift or some variation work like Sumos or some shit Bench variant or some kind
Alexander Cooper
that makes it better
Jeremiah Hernandez
Power snatch with pause in catch + OHS + Snatch Max x3
>Day 2: Lower + Abs 3x6 Squat 3x8-10 Leg press 3x10 Leg extension 3x10 Prone leg curl
>Day 3: Shoulders + Biceps + Triceps 3x8 OHP 3x10 DB Military press 3x10 Front raises 3x10-12 Lateral raises 3x10 Barbell curl 3x10 Hammer curl 3x10 Rope extension 3x10 Single arm extension
Then I add a rest day , basically 123X123, sometimes I do abs or recall legs on rest day.
R8/h8 please? Stalling on bench press so thinking about PPL or trying dumbbell bench press, what should I do Veeky Forums ?
And is hitting chest and back on the same day a good idea ? (granted me great gains desu)
Bentley Taylor
This is a 6 day/week split I've cobbled together that has been working well for me, been lifting 4 years total. It's not set in stone and I'll change things around depending on how I feel – most important thing is just crushing that first lift of the day, the rest is gravy.
Chest, Shoulders, and Biceps:
Bench/OHP 3x3 5x5 2x8 OHP/Bench 5x10 Cable Flys 8x10-15 Lat Raise 8x12-20 Biceps 8 sets of whatever
Back and Triceps:
Chin-ups 50 reps total DB Row 8x5-15 Lat Pulldown 5x12-15 Cable Row 5x12-15 Facepulls 8x12-20 Triceps 8 sets of whatever
Legs Squats/Deadlift 3x3 5x5 2x10 Deadlift/Squat 5x10 Leg Press 5x10-15 or Leg Extensions 8x12-20 Leg Curl 8x12-20 Calves 8 sets of whatever
Come at me.

How long should I wait to switch over from a full body 3x a week to a PPL or UL split? I've been doing fit's greyskull variant that focuses more on upper body and I love it, but I've been doing it for 4 months and I only spend about 3 hours a week in the gym

Pls no hate for no legs. Got a disk issue, so no heavy squats/diddys for a while.
What, no legs? No squats or dids? Never gonna make it.
Zachary Miller
Are PPL's more of a bodybuilding thing or can I get strong off of them? I like the 6 days a week thing they have going on.
Jaxon Roberts
That's a good strength training program.
I train 7 days a week and enjoyed linear gains all the way past elite on a lift.
Leo Anderson

Parker Roberts
Not doing this yet but considering it Push/pull/rest/push/pull A Ohp 3x5 Squats 5x5 Db bench 3x12 Dips 3x12
B Snatch grip dead 4x5 (or maybe power clean/snatch)? Weighted chin ups 4x5 DB row 3x12 Barbell curl 3x12
C Bench press 3x5 Front squats 6x3 Db ohp 3x12 Skull crusher
D Deadlift 1x5 Row 3x5 Chins 3xamrap DB hammer curls 3x5
Roast it lads
Xavier Perez
I meant db curl 3x12 not 3x5... no bicep tear pls

I'm doing SS, but which exercises can i add? I'm currently adding: Pull ups Calf raises Curls Triceps extensions
Is it gud or should i add other exercises?
Benjamin Moore
Sounds good - ID parts which aren't growing as much as others (like arms and calves) and go from there. I find that lat raises are good as for me the side delts are not hit that well by the big upper body compounds - YMMV
James Smith
Thanks, i completely forgot to add a shoulder exercise.
Connor Martin
I'm not saying you should let alone that you must - just play things by ear, give 4-6 weeks to assess results and so forth. It's personal. I think doing 2 assistance exercises of 2-4 sets of 10-12 reps per day will not adversly affect the program given proper rest and food.
Samuel Brown

Hudson Barnes
Thinking of starting my gf on this routine, she is an absolute cant do a single push-up beginner. Any thoughts on the routine? Her goal is to drop 10 kg till summer and is on point with nutrition already
Jayden Perez
Forgot pic
Julian Young
Oh, so i should do: Day A: Leg curl Calf raises pull up
Day B Leg extension Shoulders seated calfs
Day 3 Dumbell Curl Triceps extension
Something like this or should i stick to 2 assistance exercises? I have this bad habit of trying to fit in as much exercises as possible.
Benjamin Cooper
In Winter and Autumn I bodybuild (5/3/1 & Juggernaut Method). I do it as a bro-split. Monday: Chest, Tuesday: Back, Wednesday: Legs, Thursday: Shoulders, and Friday: Arms. On weekends; I'd do strongman training, but stopped it some time ago.
In Summer and Spring; I follow Bill Starr's Advanced 5x5 program.
Currently Squat 661lb (300kg), Bench 440 (200kg), and Deadlift 704lb (320kg).
Added to my 160lb+ squat, 70lb+ Bench, and 130lb+ deadlift over the two years.
Over the years, I've begun with Starting Strength, and bro-splitted most of the way through... Now everyone is talking about "how a bigger muscle has more potential for strength." Glad I was mistakenly doing it and it benefited me very well. I did it to break up the boredom with my training.
My advice isn't to program hop too much (like one of my gymbro's; whom wasn't making too much PR's). Stick to two (or three programs) in a year.
Cameron Diaz
As a beginner I always had trouble keeping my form on point with higher dead and squat reps rather than doing only 5 reps a set with higher weight, but that might just be me.
David Thomas
Lower Back squat Stiff leg deadlift Seated calves kneeling cable crunch
upper a: flat bench press bent over cable chest flies ohp pendlay row bicep barbell curl/reverse curl
upper b: incline bench lateral raises deadlift lat pulldown french press
feels good my senpai
Mason Robinson
You might not need to calf raise 2x a week. Leg extensions pointless imo given you are squatting 3x a week. Leg curl is good cause of knee health.
I'd do pull ups + triceps, leg curl + calves, lat raise + biceps. Go for a pump, add weight when you can.
James Nguyen
not french press but skullcrushers, sorry senpai I always thought it is the same
Evan Wood
Yeah I figured we should lower the reps to 10 or 8 until she gets a hang of the form.
James Campbell
I've added them to my workout. Thank you and i'll catch ya at the swole side
Bentley Lee
Hey so i am doing the 5/3/1 version from powerliftingtowin (see image).
So on 3x3 Days you basically do 1x3 90% of your TM and then another 5x3 with 90% of the other lift. Did i understand that correct?
Also do you guys any ideas to tweak this method further?
Andrew Barnes

What do you think goys. Been doing this for a while and I'm getting stronger. Started out doing PHUL but this is what it turned into.
Monday Upper BB bench 3x5 incline DB bench 4x8 Bent Over Row 4x5 Lat pulldown 4x8 Overhead Press 3x8 Lateral raises 4x8 Curls 4x10 Rope Pushdown 4x10
Tuesday Deadlift 1x5 DB lunges 3x10 Leg curl 3x10 Calf raises 4x10 Cable crunches 4x15
Friday Squat 3x5 leg press 4x10 DB lunges 3x8 Leg curl 4x8 Cable crunches 4x15

I have bicuspid aortic valve so i can only do low weight/high rep.
I've been doing some bodyweight stuff lately, but I wanna start going to the gym. can anyone recommend some good routines with that info in mind? Thanks.
Liam Morgan
Should I add more volume for quads or will squatting 2 days a week suffice?
Benjamin Barnes
training percentages and sets and reps?
Dylan Walker
Starting at 80%, 5 x 3 and working towards 95%, 3 x 2 over 10 weeks basically.
Thanks.

Monday/Wednesday/Friday Barball squat 4x10 Barbell bench press 3x10 Machine assisted chin up 3x10 Barbell standing military press 4x10 Barbell curl 3x10 Weighted incline sit up 3x15
Maybe add deadlifts, low reps, heavier weight, as you have a lot of high rep stuff in there.
Looks solid. What are you doing cardio wise?
Juan White
>Maybe add deadlifts, low reps, heavier weight, as you have a lot of high rep stuff in there. Will do, thanks
Sebastian Sanchez
It varies from day to day honestly. I might run one day, swim another, do machine cycling/stepping/rowing the next week. Depends on my mood really.
Bentley Cooper
Do some legs brah.
Lincoln Barnes
Pretty decent PPL, though 3 bench variants seems like overkill. Maybe sub one out.
Evan Baker
Seems to me like most here do Push/ Pull/ Legs, now i've always done one muscle group each day 5 days a week and my lifts have kinda stagnated and so has my size.
Could changing to Push/pull and thus hitting each group twice change that?
I always worry with the Push pull that you aren't hitting every muscle group hard enough, am I wrong?

Upper and lower are strength oriented, ppl at the end of the week for hypertrophy (upper hypertrophy takes too long, so I split it up)

i run a PUSH/PULL/REST repeat routine,
Push1: BENCH/DB BENCH top set of 4-6, then 2 back off sets 8-10 reps 2 accessory movements, incline bench, db ohp etc, for 3x8-10 then isolation movements for 3x10-20, mainly push movements
pull1: squats, top set of 4-6, then a back off set. weighted pull ups 3x6-8 more back shit 3x8-12 isolation shit 3x10-20
push2: OHP/ top set of 4-6, then back off sets then its the same as push1, i just focus on ohp first
pull2: deadlift, top set of 3-5, maybe a backoff set then its teh same as pull1.
ive seen enormous gains on ohp on this, went from 145x3 to 160x5
Easton Walker
Because ohp and bench on same day retard
Eli Gonzalez
That sounds like something a total pussy would say
