>Sunday – Abs, Cardio, and Grip - Treadmill sprints 5 sprints, 25 seconds - Hanging leg raises 3x10 - Decline sit ups 3x10 - Incline Curls 3xF - Farmer's Walks
On top of this I'm running Pavel's pull-up ladder to try to push up my pull up maxes, so I'm doing pull ups every day except Monday. Altered this slightly from my usual routine with higher volume since I'm starting a cut. Hope I don't lose too much strength over the next ~3 months, I'm right at 2/3/4/5 for maxes.
Any suggestions on HIIT? Alterations/variations on the sprints? Better ways to handle grip training? Advice on maintaining strength while cutting?

Shit, one typo, the arnold press 5x10 on Friday should be changed to Face Pulls 3x8

Muscle groups can be hit every 48 hours. Might consider compressing it and hitting one workout every 2nd day or getting to the gym on an ABxABx schedule.

Looks like a shitty TM and considering how TM sucks in the first place I would advice against this program.

Jacob Howard
you should add in some lat/ more back work. You pretty much only have pulls, which are good, but not enough....also some arm work could be helpful
Wednesday and friday seem like hell. seems like a lot of volume in general, but I dont know what you lift and how well you recover. I would use higher reps for laterals, incline curls, bb curls and shit. and wrist curls are literally autism-tier. Do farmer walks.
Not a bad PPL, I dont know why the other user said it was. Excercise selection is alright, I would get more volume on the accessories though. Why do 3x5 rear delt flies? its not like you are training that tiny muscle for strength. do 3x15 or something like that.
as with what I said to the person above, why are you doing 5x5 for bicep curls and DB flyes. Change up your rep ranges and volume on your upper body day. And dont include upper body work on lower body days. tricep kickbacks are honestly shit, and pushups barely constitute exercise.
why no legs? Not very good IMO

TM sucks because it's hilarious low volume on everything but squats and your program cuts volume from the only exercise that TM actually has a lot of volume of (which is the squat).
How are you supposed to increase your bench when you're benching ONCE a week and it's only 2 sets? How are you supposed to increase your deadlift with ONE deadlift set per week? It's ridiculously low volume.
Look at good programs like Sheiko, 531, GZCL, PHAT etc.etc. You need fucking volume to get strong AND grow muscle. If you're an intermediate lifter and only want to lift 3 times a week I would suggest looking into some popular 531 variations such as Building the Monolith for example.

Add some facepulls and some hamstring work and it's a decent beginner program.

Rest when ya dead, but no yeah I do. Ill sometimes not lift, like yesterday.

Do some pulling movements for your back on your upper days. Do it or you will actually develop imbalances and pain.

>no legs I'm a fatfag, I'm focusing on making my legs smaller. Also I made a lot of legs gains through walking my fat ass around. Seriously look at the legs of ex-fatties.
Thoughts? I try to keep my workouts short but I'm thinking I may need more volume.
Adam Anderson
Fine just fine son
Elijah Thompson
Oh fug didn't see these replies. Yeah, I went ahead and did my B today after doing A yesterday. ABxABx seems better to me.
What are some lifts I can throw in for back? Keep in mind that I work out at home and only have dumbbells, a bench, and an ab-roller.
Easton Gray
Just bought a single 25lb and 30lb dumbbell. Kinda wish I bought a pair but Im making due and enjoying them. Been doing these shit "lifts" 3x a week can I get other suggestions? Doing 3 sets of 10 reps.

Help me bros. Current routine is go for 1 rep max on bench / squat / deadlift. Routine is no more than as follows:
A - work up to max bench (current 1rm 107.5kg). Then do some dips.
B - work up to max deadlift (165kg). Power cleans.
C - work up to max squat (140kgs). Romanian deadlifts.
This routine is clearly shit. Id like my lifts to go up and to put on some more muscle (6'1" 94kg).
Any suggestions? >inb4 kys

Wrote this up with a brosplit friend of mine who gave me shit for falling for the strength meme:
B OHP 4x5 Diddly 4x5 Bent over row 5x5 Chest b/weight dips 2x10 Chest cable flies 3x10 Lateral delt raises 2x10 Front delt raises 2x10 Back delt raises 2x10 Overhand pulldown 2x10 Underhand pulldown 2x10

S Swimming for 40 mins
Every day save for swimming begins with 2x12 weighted hypers and ends with 2x10 weighted inclined sit ups with 2x20 med ball twists
I basically showed him some of the stuff from the sticky, I want to transition into 5x5 from SS but at the same time work on isolations based on his advice. It's probably an inefficient workout but I could use the advice.
