LEGS/TRICEPS - Front Squat 4x8-12 - Leg Press 4x8-12 - Leg Curls 4x8-12 - Leg Extensions 4x8-12 - Calf Press 3x30
Made my routine (focused on chest) and don't know what to add for biceps and triceps. Any advices on that and in general? Should I change, add or remove something?
idk, just make sure ur eating like 4000 calories a day and juice hard
Angel Sanchez
Are you planning to use illegal roids? These kind of routines are dangerous OP. Dont get all muscly and unnattyral amigo.
Wyatt Adams
No I'm not juicing and I won't. Why? I really don't want to do a fullbody routine and I can go the gym "only" 4 times a week so a PPL isn't a good choice either.
Forgot to say I'm doing ABxCDxx
Brody Wood
Well if anyone has a 4 days routine focused on chest, I'll take it. I didn't put much tought on the one I made except for selecting the exercices (my favorite ones)

I don't see the ''triceps'' there my friend
Wyatt Morris
Your routine looks like it was written by a person with a few weeks of training and no understanding of muscle development. Congrats OP
Try chest/back, legs, shoulders/arms.
Matthew Nelson
how is a full body 3-4 days a week? I was going to give it a few months and then maybe switch to push pull after my noob gains stop
Jason Wright
I'm a girl and noob
warm up glutes w/ bodyweight stuff
squat 3x5 deadlift 3x5 / ohp 3x5 (assisted) chin ups 3xf or lat pulldowns 3x10-12 cable kickbacks 4x10-12
yeah... that's it. i read that benching adds width to a woman so there's no reason to and ohp hits those muscles a bit anyway
Easton Evans
A
Squat 3x5 Incline bench 5x5 Dips 4x10 Low cable flyes 4x10 Skullcrushers 4x10 Rope extensions 4x10 Face pulls 3x15 Medicine ball push ups Ab exercizes
higher reps higher sets unless you're aiming for strength
Ethan Reyes
I was just copying SS and linear progression cause I don't want to be stuck doing low weights. Is 3x a week enough volume?
Aaron Roberts
I haven't been able to get to the gym this week, but I have two 25lb dumbbells and an ice chest so I've been doing this
>Chest and Tris
3x15 weighted push ups 3x10 shoulder press 3x8 weighted dips 3x10 skull crushers 3x10 le presse 3x10 cheat front and side lateral raises superse
>Back and Bis
Psuedo straight arm pulldown (bending forward, hand on wall, rotating at the shoulder with a fixed elbow) 3x10 Dumbell pullover 3x8 One arm dumbell row with both dumbbells tied together with a belt 3x8 Behind back upright rows 3x10 Regular, hammer, and reverse grip curls supersetted 3x10 (9 total sets) SLDL 3x15
I've been lifting for 4.5 something months. I been lifting on cut and lost 13 kg so far. Stoped progressing as much about a month ago. I train every other day in A x B format and squat and deadlift one time a week.
As a fairly noob lifter, is it better to do PPLPPLx or PPLxPPLx? Will I be overexterting myself if I don't take a break in the middle? My lifts are pretty shithouse, been doing 3 days a week just over a month on a cut and want to add more volume.
Nathaniel Hughes
Forgot to add.
Any tips? I don't really have know what I'm doing besides that I want t focus on shoulders and chest and overall body is secondary

John Morales
>i read that benching adds width to a woman Where did you even read that? Add glute bridges, hyperextensions and something for upper body ffs
Adrian Wright
If you wanna focus on shoulders and chest, do more deadlifts and shrugs. I promise it'll help.
Carter Walker
can someone post a link to that Veeky Forums version of the greyskull lp?
Austin Butler
would higher reps and weights grow the muscle faster?
This is the current routine I have been doing since September. Currently down from 285 to 185-190. Every day also has 15 min warmup cardio and 25 min heavy cardio at the end. I'm starting to plateau help me pls. Before you rag on me for this being shitty I literally just amalgamated my fav exercises from prev years of lifting so it probably doesn't make sense to people who know what they're talking about. >inb4 too many hang cleans I need them neck gainz
BACK/BICEP (Mon) Lat pulldown 3x15 1 Arm preacher curls 3x15 Alt. seated incline curls 3x15 Hammer curls 3x15 Reverse fly 3x15 Deadlift 3x10 Hang cleans 3x10 Leg curl/extension 3x15 1 Arm DB row 3x15

Anyone please? I know that I'm def not maximizing my gym time with this routine
Samuel Turner
Cut the two types of curls that aren't hammer curls, do standing barbell curls instead for a 6×12 (if you have to drop weight as you go through your sets that's OK, if you fail a set then drop weight and don't count your failed set). Do your hammer curls for a 3×12.
Colton Rodriguez
Doing this What are some good accessories to add besides abs and hyperextensions
Eli Foster
Just started this, I hope there's nothing retarded about it
MONDAY (pull) squat warmup, 2x5, 1x5+ DL 1x5 pullups 3xn seated cable rows 3x8-12 face pulls 5x15-20 hammer curls 4x8-12 dumbbell curls 4x8-12 lying pullups 3xn 5min fast run
TUESDAY (push) BP warmup, 4x5, 1x5+ OHP 3x8-12 incline dumbbell press 3x8-12 triceps pushdowns 3x8-12 SS lateral raises 3x15-20 overhead triceps extensions 3x8-12 SS lateral raises 3x15-20
Thanks guys, should I continue doing cardio on the two off days during the week? I forgot to mention that I'm trying to start HIIT again as well.
Samuel Carter
My routine is 20 push ups and 40 abs everyday and running 5k twice a week.
Plus i eat a lot of vegetables and very few carbs. I am 177 cm and weight 66 kg
Is this enough to get to pic related?
Jason Hall
What kind of routine would you advise then? I mean that's why I made the thread in the first place. For advices.
That's what I'm asking, need some good exercises for triceps and biceps. I don't know wich one to chose beside the eternal biceps curls and cable extensions
Chase Walker
lol no
Easton Robinson
UHH BUB YOU HAVE TO DO 100 PUSHUPS, 100 ABS, 100 SQUATS AND 10K
Owen Clark

If you want to go 4 times a week I'd suggest an upper/lower or push/pull (with squats on push and dl on pull). Play around with rep schemes a bit but don't go too heavy on assistance (eg: 20kg lateral raises are absolute bullshit)
Thomas Cruz
Nice Chest volume bro
Christian Smith
Always do AMRAP on the last set
A (Legs & Back) Deadlifts 3x8 Squats 3x5 Wide grip pull-ups 3x8 lat pulldown 3x10 then some accessory work with machines (leg press, calves)
B (Chest & Arms) Bench 3x8 Dips 3xF OHP 3x5 Dumbell work (seated OHP or however it's called, dumbell press, hammer curls, that thing where you raise the dumbell from behind your head)
Pretty impressive how many different exercises most of you do - I tend to keep shit simple since I'm still a beginner and struggling to eat enough
Owen Foster
This is a fuck tonne better than the program you were originally doing but >Hang Cleans 3x10 Jfc. C'mon guys. You can't give someone fairly good advice and then confuse them by still getting them to do hang cleans for sets of 10.
Lincoln Russell
Well shit, this is the healthiest version of TM I've ever seen. >Managing the sheer volume shock on the Mondays with 80% rather than 90% >Appropriate amount of Lat work in comparison to the original TM >dropping the sets and bumping up to 90% on the explosive pendlay rows to accommodate
Guys, this may be the best version of Texas Method out there
Levi Gray
I'm the person asking for help, What do you mean about the 3x10 HCs? Should I be doing higher weight-lower reps? Thanks again
James Mitchell
Are you a beginner? what are your lifts? why did you chose this over programs with heavy/light/medium days ?
Alexander Jones
I was trying to get him to stick with the exercises he likes, get rid of at least 50% of the variations. But I saw he doesn't perform deadlifts, so if I can just get his frequency and intensity fixed, I'll let him keep hang cleaning, since it's an okay exercise for hip power.
But yeah, ideally he moves to Sumo deads instead of hang cleans, he does dips instead of triceps pulldowns, and pullups instead of lat pulldowns. But he likes what he likes, so no point in changing that right now and from an imageboard.
Christian Morales

Honestly if every followed 1month prehab>PGSLP>personal variant of TM>whatever focus you want to have (aesthetics/strength/pl), we all would've made it
Jaxon Roberts
I appreciate the work you put in for this guy. But I'd tweak that last day like this >>row 5x5 >>hang clean 5x3 >>ohp 5x5 >>pushdown 3x15 >>your favorite curl variant 3x15 >>lateral raise 3x15
Starting your workout with 3x10 hang cleans is exhausting af and detrimental to the remainder of the workout Sets of 10 for hang cleans is plainly just a bad idea as well. They're an intensive, explosive exercise. No more than 5 reps is ever needed to train them effectively. Hence why 5x3 on explosive exercises is so popular
Adam Wright
Person asking for help here, thanks a lot I'm about to go and switch it up for the first day. Just to clarify primary goal is to retain as much muscle as possible while coninuing to drop BF. I was always under the impression that this was easier to do with high reps but it seems like the consensus here is not as such.
Joseph Clark
Help. No rack barbell only.
Daniel Perez
As beginner, what should I do for combined strength and aesthetics? PPL or GSLP?
Jaxon Hernandez
You're absolutely right. Dropping the volume while cutting is fairly normal as you won't have as much energy to work as hard for as long.
Aiden Parker
I think I'll go for a PPLU (upper body). But I need to know how to actually build a proper routine with my favorite exercices.
Eli Jackson
GSLP is good. But for what you're looking for, PGSLP is a much much better variant if you pair the Chinups and OHP, and the barbell rows and bench
Kevin Gomez
By the looks of your exercise selection, I'd suggest having a look at candito linear program. Many people here and on other forms have had great success with his program
Doing ABCABCx. Workout A: Chest: BB Bench: 4 x 12-6 Incline BB Bench: 4 x 12-6 Dips: 4 x 12-6 Back: Chin-ups: 50 in as few sets as possible Cable Rows: 4 x 12-6 Pullovers: 4 x 12-10 Power: Deadlifts: 10, 6, 4 Abs: Crunches: 5 x 25
Workout B: Shoulders: BB Clean and Press: 4 x 12-6 DB Lateral Raises: 4 x 12-6 Power: Heavy Upright Rows: 10, 6, 4 Push Presses: 6, 4, 2 Arms: Standing BB Curls: 4 x 12-6 CG Press: 4 x 12-6 Seated DB Curls: 4 x 12-8 Tricep Pushdowns: 4 x 12-8 Wrist Curls: 3 x 12 Reverse Wrist Curls: 3 x 12 Abs: Reverse Crunches: 5 x 25

Jordan Morales
2-3 times a week: OHP 3x5 Front squat 3x5 Weighted dips 3x5 Deadlift 1x5 Weighted chin-ups 3x5 Hanging leg raises 2xfailure
Elijah Evans
>no rows or chins
upper backlet
Logan Taylor
Why a lot of people on here seem to train chest and biceps on the same day as opposed to chest and triceps?
Aren't chest and triceps meant to be worked together as to maximize their time to grow? The same goes for back and biceps etc
Aaron Taylor
do you do any leg curls? I hear many people recommend them for hamstring balance, squats and dls hit the ass head of the muscle but the knee end gets less hit and thus could be worked on isolated.
>Legs, Abs & Back Back Squat Front Squat Knee raises Planks Light Rows BW Chins
Do this 2x a week to hit each body part twice. I added some back exercises to my Leg day for kicks (i just want a thicc back)
>no deads Yeah i had lower back issues so im not pushing my luck
Dylan Turner
looks good. what are your numbers for your compounds?
Elijah Lewis
here's what i did today >bent over row, 4x5 pronated 1xamrap supinated (got 15) >close grip bench press 1x12, 1x10, 1x8 at increasing weights >pullovers 4x10 >ohp 2x5 + 1xamrap (got 3) >strict hammer curls 2x12 what i have yet to do today >ab wheel 4xf >neck extensions 3x20-30 >neck curls 3x20-30
John Sullivan
This routine is fucking shit.
Jason Bailey
Op here; Okay I made a PPLU routine and still need help. I need to add one or two exercices on legs but can't decide. Same for Upper Body day. For Upper body, I need to focus more on chest since it's my weak point.
Squats 3 sets x 5 reps Bench 3 sets x 5 reps Pendlay Rows 3 sets x 5 reps
weight at 75% of 1RM for all sets
Jordan Taylor
That sounds like Starting Strength. Would recommend to a friend!
Wyatt Gonzalez
It's called "get fat or die drinking (milk)'
Grayson Hernandez
Currently do pull+legs one day, then push the next, 6 days a week. So, I'm working out each muscle group 3 times a week.
However, was thinking of adding cardio 3 times a week, meaning that I'd only be able to work each mucle group twice a week. Is this enough or will it slow my progress?
