dont do a brosplit unless youre not natty
Eli Torres
also why tf are you doing a billion different exercises on day 2
Joshua Gomez
What do you mean by billion different exercises I hit every muscle in the shoulder And to hit all parts of the triceps Forearms are just a plus,which I finish in 10minutes.

Jayden Martin
I've been doing this the past couple of months been lifting for about a year and I don't know if it's any good It just like it
Day 1: Chest/shoulders/triceps Bench Incline bench OHP skullcrushers
Day 2: Back/Biceps Barbell rows Lat pulldown bicep curls
I squat every training session. Then I do either one of those. I always finish with calves.
I basically go every other day. Sometimes I skip a day/do 2 days in a row if I get caught up with other appointments
Elijah Hill
ah yeah I occasionally do a full leg workout when I feel like it or when I'm bored with the other ones Stiff leg deadlift leg press leg curl/extention
Dylan Jenkins
3 days a week, no leg movements since lower back is snapped
A Incline Dumbbell Bench Press Chin-ups Curls Tricep pushdown
B Dumbbell Overhead Press Rows Lateral Raise Rear delt flyes Reverse Hyperextensions
3x6-10 on compunds 3x8-12 on isolations
Critique please. Also looking for tips on lower back recovery and exercises to do for legs.
Isaac Fisher
You don't need that many exercises. Do SS since you're clearly new
Ayden Adams
you can do lunges m8 just don't go too heavy if you have a leg extention or leg curl machine, I'd recommend that if lunges are too much
possibly that pussy leg press where you sit upright instead of all the weight crushing your entire existence I've done that one for a while when my back hurt

what accessories/what scheme do you guys use to add volume to the Texas Method?
Luke Green
I've been lifting for a month, this has been my routine:
Day 1: Chest Day 2: Back Day 3: Shoulders/Arms Day 4: Legs Day 5: Rest
Is this inferior to a push/pull/legs split?
Any tips generally?
Landon Wright
What's a good three day intermediate routine for strength and aesthetic gains? Im doing Muay Thai and Judo right now and it's hard for me to go the gym five times per week. I was thinking about doing Canditos Linear Program or GSLP.
Jack Brooks
Don't do TM. Either that or just do more sets or sets of 8
Sebastian Sullivan
If I have wide hips and narrow shoulders what routine you think I should follow to minimalize the damage? For real I just wanna look normal.
inb4 >trap >kill yourself
Lucas Cox
Again, dont do a brosplit and if you're going to do ppl, do a six day split
Levi Collins
train the shit out of your lats and shoulders
Anthony Bailey
thanks for the useless suggestion senpai
Benjamin Rivera
How much volume is needed per week to maintain muscle mass/strength? I'm content with the way I look and I want to focus less in muh mass and more on overall fitness (cardio/mobility/weights).
Anybody doing this? Post your program. Just came up with one in 5 mins without much thinking (pic) and I'm wondering if I need more exercises on lifting days.
I have 2 push, 2 pull, 2 leg exercises twice a week, but I could probably increase that to 3, adding 3x10 dips / curls to both lifting days.
Andrew Stewart
>a its not useless. TM is a great template but a bad base program
Pullovers. This shit actually does stretch out your ribcage and make it the shape you want. Google form. I don't have time for that shit.
Anthony Hughes
weve already told you that unless you have a mobility problem a full workout session dedicated to mobility movements are a waste of time. just do 2-3 min of drills that match the movements of your training sessions pre workout and youre good
Asher Taylor
also why are you not squatting? what are you, some kind of pussy?
Ian Wright
but is there a specific routine I can follow? I dont know if I could just make one
Luke Clark
looks good op
Adam Smith
I didn't get very much feedback in the last thread. I already do what you suggested before each workout, but thanks. This would be something similar to mobility wod (or yoga), and then calisthenics based workout afterwards.
Cooper Allen
if your goal is muscle, strength and althleticism, then yoga is an even worse waste of your time
Brayden Green

can anyone recommend me a good routine for an intermediate lifter done pirc related for years I am 180cm 76kg looking to do a little cut after finishing russian squat programme forecast 165kg dead, 120kg squat and 100kg bench but im pretty sure I can do manage 1/2/3/4 for one rep in a weeks time
Leo Ward

Angel Lewis
What beginner routine would you recommend boii
Oliver Hernandez

I don't really like any rowing exercises, does anyone know some alternatives?
Nathaniel Baker
What are some good exercises/routines for high school aged girls who are new to the gym? Some joined recently and they wanted some guidance (I work at the gym, not a PT though) because they're pretty new to it, so I might occasionally help them out. We don't get many girls here so it's a nice "market" if they enjoy it and spread the word. They've already tried squatting on their own so they're at least on the right path, but I don't wanna put them on SS because I think they'd just get bored.
Obviously lower body stuff like squats, DL/RDL, split squats, but are they gonna like benching and shit?
Adrian Baker
Rate me >All weight progressions/sets x reps like MADCOW 5x5

Dominic Carter
youre gonna have to post pics so i can recommend a program for them
Jonathan Williams
What's the best 3 day full body program?
Jace Anderson
Monday/Wednesday/Thursday All done on machines except bench press, switching to free weights next Wednesday.
3x8 Bi curls Tri ext Shoulder press Row Lat pulldown Bench press 5x12 on a crunch machine
My plan for Wednesday is 3x8 of: Barbell curl Skull crushers Bench press Barbell row Lat pulldown (machine because I'm bad at isolating my lats on a cable machine) Military press 5 sets of 60 seconds planking
Thinking about adding legs on Tuesdays and Thursdays doing squats and deadlifts, possibly some cycling.
Brandon Reyes
why arent you doing your compound movements first
Justin Nguyen
Explain? I'm new in these parts
Jacob Martinez
Opinions on this bench press program? I want to get a yuge bench press without gaining any body weight.
I don't get it though. He doesn't specify moving up the weight after a week or something?
Dominic Lopez
Sorry m8 I don't have any, just believe me that they are way too fertile. One of them legit looks like she could be a model.
>tfw they're all wearing tight leggings
Jordan Martin
Do compounds first and then isolations Don't tire out your muscles before going for heavy compound movements
Joseph White
better question: why the fuck are you using only machines?
Adam Foster
do you have their social medias? no raid i plomise. this is very important to the research portion of the programming
Hunter Hill
You move the weight up after testing your 1rm
Kevin Allen
For Beginners - Starting Strength For Intermediates - The Bridge For Advanced - at this point get a coach or program for yourself
Levi Lee
So I should do row, presses, and pulldowns first, then do curls and crushers?
I was worried about having bad form and injuring myself. I figured machines do the form for you and I just have to contract my muscles.
Adam Ramirez
But the program says that, for 4 weeks, you're supposed to do X sets of bench press Monday, Wednesday, Friday, then rest for the weekend before starting again on Monday. Surely he doesn't mean that you just do the exact same weight for all 4 weeks? How will you gain any strength off that?
Smolov Jr. looks similar to this program except they tell you to increase the weight after each week. Is it the same here?
Camden Sanders
I have their names available at the gym so I'm gonna stalk them myself later. Find out if they have bfs and whatnot.
Levi Garcia
>how will you gain strength lifting weight gee user who knows
Xavier Harris
>I was worried about having bad form and injuring myself. I figured machines do the form for you and I just have to contract my muscles. That is quite possible the dumbest explanation for machine only work ive ever heard. but thats okay because youre new. Since, youre new, i will tell you that if you want to make gains, dont even think about using the routine you posted. Do a proved, barbell based training program and run it until you run out of noob gains. I suggest SS even if it does get memed on. Dont worry, you wont look like a t rex. Arm work is in the program. Just make sure you read the book and do the program and dont deviate from the program becuase you dont know any better
Anthony Davis
just give their names and the city they live in and i can take it from there

How do I make myself stop wanting to eat fast food and shit

Julian Sanchez
I'm going to the DR in two months and I already have a little bit of muscle and a little bit of fat. Not chubby but definitely not a six pack either. What's a good routine for someone going for aesthetics? I could definitely stand to bulk a little before losing fat.
Camden Perez
if you want to bulk up then you may not be lookin for aesthetics.
Kevin Stewart
Threadly reminder that if your routine doesn't have lateral raises it's SHIT.
Why? I do lots of pressing overhead and no dinky lat raises with light dumbells and ive got big shoulders
Aaron Mitchell
Honestly this
Jason Long
Lol this never gets old
Benjamin Clark
Looking for an intermediate upper/lower programe thatll give me a shit ton of both size and strength. I wanna grow both the ohp and the bench not just one and at least twice per week training frequency. Is this too much to ask?? Cant find a routine that i like on google.
Jace Gray
nsuns 4 or 5 day, scroll down a little for the spreadsheet
Day 1: Upper Power -Incline DB press 3x6 -- 120s -DB Incline flies 3x6 -- 120s -Chin Up (To my discretion) -Lat Pull down 3x10 -- 90s -The Press 3x8 -- 120s -EZ bar curl 3x10 -- 45s -EZ bar skull crusher 3x10 -- 45s -Face pulls 4x12 -- 45s
Day 2: Lower Power -Front Squat -RDL
Day 3: Rest (or abs at home)
Day 4: Upper Hypertrophy -Incline DB press 4x12 -- 45s -DB Incline Flies 4x12 -- 45s -Seated cable row 4x12 -- 45s -One arm DB row 4x12 -- 45s -DB lat raise 4x12 -- 45s -Incline DB curl 4x12 -- 45s -Cable tri extension 4x12 -- 45s -Face pulls 4x12 -- 45s

David Harris
Well isn't it better to have some muscle before you cut? My chest is alright but my arms are a bit on the skinny side.
Oliver Miller
Mon: Lower Squat: 3-4X6-8/3 (3-4 sets of 6-8 with a 3 rest) SLDL or leg curl: 3-4X6-8/3 Leg press: 2-3X10-12/2 Another leg curl: 2-3X10-12/2 Calf raise: 3-4X6-8/3 Seated calf: 2-3X10-12/2
Is Lyle's bulking routine enough for aesthetics? seems too low volume
Thomas Martinez
Literally find a flaw ABxCDxx
A 3x5 back squat 3x5 ohp 4x8 flat db bench 4x8 weighted dips 4x8 lateral raise
B 3x5 bent over barbell row 3x5 weighted pull up 4x8 db row 4x8 cable row 3x8-12 preacher curl
C 3x5 back squat 3x5 flat barbell bench 4x8 db shoulder press 4x8 incline db bench 4x8 weighted dips
D 1x5 deadlift 3x5 lat pulldown 4x8 db row 4x8 rear delt raise 3x8-12 incline seated curl
Kayden Jackson
Then GIVE A ROUTINE FAGGOT. YOU'RE NOT HELPING. POST BODY
Jackson Jones
ABCABCx Gonna start this when I hit 80kg bench. Exercises in red are ones I may take out if volume is too much. Less focus on legs because they're out of proportion and stronger than my upper body.
Brayden Ortiz
Oh yeah and I may replace forearms/traps with tris and bis
Joshua Edwards
Rate V-Taper routine pls. Only have access to DB and BB.
Aaron Sanders
Unironically starting SS thiss week. Basically found my years of fucked up bro splits and other fuckery have left me with strength imbalances, questionable form at higher weights and not enough motor unit recruitment. So back to basics to fix that shit so I can make real gains.
Elijah Ward
Upper power:2-3 min rests
Bench Press: 3x5 working + 1x3-5 increased +1x1-3 even more increased Inclined dumbbell bench: 3x8 Barbell rows: 3x5 Ohp:3x5 Weighted pull-ups:3x6 superset with shrugs 3x8 Seated shoulder press machine: 3x8 Chest dips: 3x8 Tricep pull downs:3x8 Skullceushers: 3x8
Lower strength: 3-4 min rests
Squat: 3x5 working weight + 1x3-5 increased weight + 1x1-3 even greater weight Deadlifts: 2x5 working + same as above Leg press: 3x8 Lying leg curl: 3x8 superset with calf raises 3x8 I do abs/ core on this day as well
Hypertrophy upper: 45secs to 1:15 rest with high focus on eccentric slowdown
Lower Hypertrophy: 1 min rests with focused eccentric, especially on accessories and machine exercises
Front squats: 4x8 Romanian deadlifts: 3x6-8 Leg press or hack squat machine: 4x12 Lunges: 4x8 Leg extensions: 4x12 Lying leg curl: 4x8-12 superset with calf raises 4x12 I do core/ abs on this day

Kevin Thompson
what's wrong with a tm?
Blake Powell
Im pretty sure it doesnt, as it doesnt have much volume and has you adding weight every session
Jaxon Jenkins
5/3/1
Brody Sullivan
>v taper >no pullups good luck
Elijah Perez
He is here to just shit on everybody, he shit on splits, he shit on a fullbody routine that leaves out legs because of injury, he would shit on any routine, he is a moron.
Noah Martin
no
Nathaniel Sanchez
you know what would be awesome? A full body 3x/week one being 'pull' dominant and some light squats and bench/ohp, next being 'push' dominant wich chinups and squats and friday 'leg' dominant with ohp/bench and chinups
what do you guys think? For someone who can only train three times per week but can't progress on basic full body anymore and only cares about aesthetics
Christian Perez
I am literally building a pullup bar today lol.
Landon Sullivan
Try Madcow's, with ohp instead of incline if you're a patrician lifter.
Connor Jenkins
>There are """''people""""" RIGHT NOW not doing GZCLP
Jose Thompson
Smolov jr for squat.
My legs feel like death.
When I get off it I'm going onto nSuns 4day. I really enjoyed the 5 day, and the spreadsheet appealed to my inner mathfag, but I think 4day would fit my schedule better.
Chasing 1/2/3/4 and hopefully gonna make it.
Nathan Hughes
Seriously, how stupid do you have to be not to do pic related PPLxPPL or PPLPPLx
Elijah Miller
not enough volume for an intermediate/advanced
Anthony Martinez
TMfag here, thoughts on replacing cleans on ID with something like this?
