What is Thicc Mode? >Thicc mode is traditional male aesthetics. Thicc mode for Veeky Forums has been described as a body built from barbell strength training with accessories (texas method, madcow, 5/3/1), 13% to 17% bodyfat that has crossover to strength or contact sports ability. Twinks, ottermode, & contest ready bodybuilders are not thicc mode.
I'll blog instead of bumping the thread like a spambot
Day 2 week 1 cycle 2 of my 531 routine yesterday. I got 7 reps on the 5+ set for bench (90). Really disappointed, I could do 105 for 6 in November. Oh well. I also got 9 reps on the 5+ set for rows (67.5). Rows are going to shoot up really fast because I have never trained them, only did deadlifts and chinups for back. Did some ohp and lat pulldown for accessory work.
Tomorrow is deadlifts 5+ day!
Blake Diaz
I love it when I can set a PR on the AMRAP set of deadlifts, or even better after bumping the weight up if I'm doing joker sets. If I can do that for deadlifts that's the clearest sign for me that I'm actually making legit strength gains.
Andrew Adams
>love it when I can set a PR Me too man. Been so long :( Will do 145 tomorrow, realistic goal is 7ish reps, dream goal is 10+ because I used to pull 165 for 5 I JUST WANT TO PULL 4 PLATE BY SEPTEMBER RREEEE

Hey /thicc/
I wanna train like a strongman, but only just recently became an intermediate lifter. I'm liking the texas method, but wanna know if I can adjust it to include things like farmer's walks and tire flips without suboptimizing the program.
Any ideas?
Daniel Green
Can a manlet ever be thicc? 5'9 183
Cooper Green
Many manlets have thick, it's tallfaggots that struggle with it unless they've to top tier genetics. I'm fucked.

>Hey /thicc/ Sup >I wanna train like a strongman Cool! Disclaimer: not a strongman. >but only just recently became an intermediate lifter. I'm liking the texas method, but wanna know if I can adjust it to include things like farmer's walks and tire flips without suboptimizing the program. Okay, three things. First, it's Texas METHOD. Not program. It's not as set in stone as the YNDTP drones keep spouting. Second, read pages 223-230 of the PP book Third, I recommend checking Brian Alsrhue's YT channel, he is a strongman and has some videos where he explains his U/L split

Aaron Watson
>want to get /thicc/ >too lazy to cut >getting fat again
I'll go on a strict cut soon. I swear.
Jacob Garcia
>want to get /thicc/ >wristlet This is my fate for being a skinny 50kg bitch my whole teenage life.
Kevin Harris
it that's you, you look fine imo. Maybe a bit more mass but overall you are on the way to /thicc/. Wristlet or not.
Blake Young
Thanks for giving it to be straight. Guess I gotta go trap mode now desu
John Williams
Sorry, the truth is harsh my friend
Ethan Russell
Nah that's not me that guy has at least wrists twice my size.
Henry Roberts
I fucked up my cut so its not that great. But I also realized that there is no real reason for getting shredded, since I already have a GF and a handsome face.
I also want to get strong. Fuck everything else. Should I just become thicc?
Planning on doing a clean bulk and wendlers 5/3/1.
Opinions? Thanks bros
Noah Sanders
>wendlers 5/3/1 Don't do this if you're planning on getting strong.
Isaac Hernandez
but its pretty good for strength Whats wrong with it?
Justin Miller
Working on it. Bench is almost 275. Not much progress on deads and squats since I had a minor leg injury. Ohp is 165.
Body fat is probably between 22-27%.
Ryan Foster
Holy fugg
Luis Howard
can u get thicc with scoliosis?
Angel Sanchez
It would be extremely painful. No really fix your scoliosis first, thank me later.
Ian Hall
could i fix it through lifting?
Jordan Garcia
Well yeah, that's how I fixed mine, but don't forget lots of stretches and I mean shitton I still stretch about 40-60mins each day.
Julian Clark
oh boy, do you have anything in particular you would recommend?
Colton James
Thicc should I leave SS as it is or does anything need to be added? Spoonfeed me the ideal SS routine pls
Aiden Brown
dont overdo lat work work your fucking core get big ass forearms
done
Thomas Harris
I can't speak to TM but I run The Juggernaut Method with a fifth day for strongman stuff.
>Do farmers at the end of every workout, heavy on upper body days, lighter on lower body days.
>Replace most bench accessories with overhead accessories
>Consider replacing bench with close grip bench.
>Do lots of hinge variations on lower body days (RDL , Good Morning, GHR, Back raises, etc)
> Run your peaking block with nothing but events (log, farmers, tires, etc)
Josiah Watson
Well my scoliosis was pretty mild, nothing extreme, so I don't want to give you bad advice that could fuck you up instead of helping, but I found front squats pretty helpful. Also keep in mind that even tho it's pretty mild I probabaly will never fully fix it, so if your case is more extreme you might wana go to doctor.
Josiah Parker
no ive only got 15 degrees, the doc said it wasnt too bad, but i guess thats what they always say
Connor Richardson
>But I also realized that there is no real reason for getting shredded, since I already have a GF and a handsome face. Man in body, child in mind. Pity. >I also want to get strong. Fuck everything else. Should I just become thicc? Duh >Planning on doing a clean bulk and wendlers 5/3/1. Do it. I recommend 531 5x5 FSL alternated so Monday is 531 squats and 5x5 deadlift variation (I recommend snatch grip) This person is a shitposter Literally nothing
Isaiah Barnes
is this a good thicc routine?
Jason Walker
I ran this program for 4 months. I did notice decent changes in size to quads/chest/traps in that time. I think the standard program doesn't include enough upper back work. Your accessories look okay for this, though I might consider changing Thursdays weighted chin-ups for pull-ups, since you're then doing Bicep curls on the Friday.
The first month was good, but after that it became pretty tiring. Having 4 days in a week where you're pushing your absolute limit just caught up to me. I started having a similar amount of accessories to you but found that once the weight got heavier I had to drop some accessories since rest time between sets was getting slightly longer and workouts were taking longer in general. Tuesdays became a day I hated. I would be absolutely ruined after squats and then have to go and do 8 sets of deadlifts. It's absurd.
I work in landscaping, though. Some of the tough days at work would fuck with my energy/strength levels at the gym, and it became common to fail sets all over the place which was a real downer. One week I would manage 140kgx4 on squat, the next week you would fail 142.5kg. Because it doesn't work off of a cycle, I would definitely recommend including a deload week maybe once every 6 weeks. This is just what I found for me though, it may be entirely different for you personally.
I do think it's a good program for getting thicc as long as accessories are targeted correctly, but for me it was just too much volume and too tiring. I ended up moving to a PHUL split recently that has less working sets but still pushes me. Give it a try, see how it goes! Worst case scenario you just have to find a different routine.
Luke Flores
>though I might consider changing Thursdays weighted chin-ups for pull-ups, since you're then doing Bicep curls on the Friday.
Yeah I'm not to sure about the accessories yet. I feel like I have an inclination to add a lot of extra stuff but I don't think that's wise for this program.
>Tuesdays became a day I hated. I would be absolutely ruined after squats and then have to go and do 8 sets of deadlifts. It's absurd. I have done 531 BBB with 5*10 deadlifts after squats and I quite liked it, so this might not be an issue for me.
>I would definitely recommend including a deload week maybe once every 6 weeks. Yes I'm definitely gonna do this.
Furthermore I replaced the original sumo deadlift part of tuesday with snatch grip deadlifts, as my first part of my pull for the conventional deadlift is my sticking point. We also haven't got an incline bench press station and I don't wanna be that guy who uses the squat rack for that. Any tips on what I could replace those with?
Elijah Bell
Also what do you think about rest pause sets for the accessories? I think this program will take up quite some time so if I can cut that down a bit would be great
Juan King
I replaced Sumo deadlifts for Snatch Grip deadlifts too at first, eventually moved to rack pulls as my weak point became the lockout. Snatch Grip is good for the first part of the pull, so I think that's a good change to make. I did paused bench in place of incline bench, eventually I moved to doing incline in the squat rack, but my gym has a fair few squat racks and it was usually quiet when I went, so taking a squat rack wasn't a huge issue. Doing spotto presses might be good, too!
Play around with accessories man. Only way to really tell what's going to be best for you is to experiment and see what you enjoy the most. I think accessories are extremely important, but you just have to find a balance that works for yourself. Most important thing I think is to make sure you're not doing so much that you're too fatigued to work that muscle group a couple of days later. Time in the gym? My workouts could be between 45 minutes to 2 hours without accessories. Upper body days could be much shorter (45 minutes), but lower body had me in the gym for much longer. This might differ for you since you mentioned you did 5x10 deadlifts after squats and enjoyed it. Best of luck user!
Sebastian Sullivan
I can't really mention rest pause sets too. I have never done them personally.
Josiah Williams
you should try them out. Messed around with it for a couple of times now on small isolation exercises and they're pretty fun to do.
I'm cutting right now so not expecting any results but I'm definitely gonna incorporate them in my next bulk.
Asher Morgan
Spoto press might be a very good option as a replacement indeed. I'll just check what works for me or whether it's way too much. I'm guessing doing that many sets for those squat/deadlift variations on it's own would make decent strength and size gains.
As for back/pulling exercises I will definitely incorporate those since there's so much pushing in the routine. Facepulls are pretty much a standard staple in my workout as well.
thanks for the info!
Luke Lopez
Are there any 3-day routines for getting /thicc/? Running 5/3/1 atm and looking for good accessories.
Sebastian Taylor
How long does a workout usually take you on this program?
David Morales
I have wrists smaller than 6 inches. They're like 5 3/4 inch.
Nicholas Sanchez
Getting there. 6"3', 225 lbs. Squat 529 lbs, Bench 330 lbs, Deadlift 584 lbs OHP 226 lbs, Weighted pullups 110 lbs x 5, Weighted dips 110 lbs x 8 My routine is powerlifting-based, but doing all the exercises above, plus rowing, and good morning. Working out 4-5 days a week. I'm a wristlet though (7.5 inches), some people have thicker dicks than this.
Colton Fisher
Anybody have a copy of Paleo for Lifters? Every link I'm finding is dead.
Ethan Lewis
Can I massage your body?
Leo Jenkins
Routine?
Andrew Brooks
One choice is building the monolith. Another is: >Monday Squat 531 OHP 531 >Wednesday Bench 531 >Friday Deadlift 531
Add accessories at your discretion I'd do it as such (where FSL is first set last 5x5)
