Im running my own program. Ive tried everything over the years and found a way to get results.

It unfortunately involves a lot of work and effort.

PPL

my bench press is still shit tho

What is it?
PPL once or twice a week?

I recently decided to do a 5 day routine. Reds i absolutely do, blues are if i feel up to it and have time. I'm still adding stuff changing things around. most of this stuff i pulled from a 5 day routine i found online and changed a couple things.

i'm trying to spend as little time at home as possible desu. when its warm out i'm going to just go jogging by the river after the gym every night and chill out. probably get home around 9pm to eat dinner. if anyone has suggestions or wants to call me a retarded faggot, please feel free.

After a year on ICF5X5, I wrote my own full body A/B/A/B/A/B routine. Thoughts?

A
Squat 4x6
Bench Press 4x6
Row 4x6
Dumbbell Shoulder Press 3x10-12
RDL 3x10-12
Skullcrushers 3x10-12

B
OHP 4x6
Deadlift 3x5
Incline Bench 3x8-10
Lat Pulldowns 3x8-10
Leg Press 3x12-15
Curls 3x10-12

T-t-thoughts?

how fat are you

i'm 6'1'' 173lbs kek

Only problem I have with this is the frequency. Especially if you're /fat/, you shouldn't be hitting your body parts only once a week

>what is it

Depends on goals.

not fat senpai just trying to get Veeky Forums. i agree so i have been adding extra shit in. I still want to bench and diddly 3x week like i was before, but i'm working it out. i just started this routine 2 weeks ago. i think in a month i'll have it down to something i'm comfortable with.

>4x6 everywhere

You're program looks fine if you are happy hitting things once a week. But do you ever vary sets x reps?

Sean10mm's Starting Strength
newbie-fitness.blogspot.com/2006/12/rippetoes-starting-strength.html?m=1

I'm mainly doing it, because I wanted to do one of the SS workouts in the sticky and this one looked the most like one I'd stick to and enjoy. Also I need to git gud and dips and pullups so that's a good reason for me to do this one. So far it's going well based on how I've read I'm supposed to progress. Really looking forward to hitting the 1 plate OHP and 2 plate bench. I think I'll want to switch to a bodybuilding program later on unless I just fall in love too much with picking up heavier and heavier things, but I gotta get a good base of strength first apparently.

On a side note if I complete my first and last sets fine, but failed my second after 2-3 reps should I redo the bad set? I'm going to try to force myself to take longer breaks since that seems to be one of my main issues, but I get bored just waiting to lift so I started walking laps on the track while I wait.

yes its copy pasta mostly. I don't limit myself to 4x6 i go until absolute exhaustion every exercise. then i up the weight by either 5lbs or 10lbs and keep it at that weight until i can hit a complete set and reps of either 4x6 or 5x5. then i'll start pushing AMRAP toward the end of my sets.

is this a good strategy? it makes sense to me but i'm a lifting brainlet.

>feel up to it and have time
>want to spend as little time at home as possible

make the blues mandatory!!!!!!!!

yeah i was just thinking that... i've made a few changes. i think this will work. i'll have to mix some stuff into Tues and Thurs

I do PPL twice a week with one rest day. Is it possible for me to substitute a leg day from one and a pull day from the other to do Oly lifts?

I've been doing that linear progression PPL for beginners I saw on Leddit for 2 months now, I enjoy hitting the gym 6 days per week and have gotten good results considering I'm also eating on a deficit. My main lifts went:
SQ 50-75
DL 60-105
BP 50-65
OHP 37-48

Would recommend, is similar to pic related.

I do PPLPPLx but sometimes I throw in random sets of squats here and there on non leg days before ending with 10-30 minutes of cardio.

I do SL with only a day of squats cuz I'm a faggot.

I have 3 weeks to get fitter than ever. I'm used to PPL twice a week so I work out once a day and rest. I want to up it to 2x a day but I'm not sure how to structure that. What should I do?

Mah nigga, kethnaab is goat. I've just started

phraks gslp, saw it on reddit and well, i needed to choose something, and lately i care more about strength than aestethic

working through a split rn
monday: strength chest
tuesday rest (cause im busy literally all day)
wednesday: strength squats and deadlift or full back including 1rm deadlift
thursday: strength upper back
friday: hypertrophy chest
saturday: hypertrophy back
sunday: hypertrophy legs.
cardio every day

PPL, been running it for 2 years.

Only care about aesthetics, work from home and have home gym so ~10 hours a week to lifting is no problem. Damaged back so don't deadlift or squat.

greyskull because I'm still making gains

what's in 3 weeks user

If you can lift two times a day your day should look like this

Wake up early, eat, go to the gym and lift heavy / low reps, go home, eat, read/study/play games/go for a walk,whatever,eat, go to gym in the evening and lift light / high reps, go home, eat, sleep

5/3/1 bbb

Oh damn lol I didn't realize it was called that. Fuckin Mark Nipplenose doesn't entirely hate it apparently which is a good sign I guess. Definitely will accept being called one of "the little assholes".

do people actually lift twice a day? what the fuck?

I’m running a 6 day PPL, because I was fat, and this seemed like the best way to kick my ass in gear. It definitely helped over the past few months. but I keep skipping leg day, or adding a couple of leg exercises to a P day and fucking up the system. So on a day that should be Legs, I’ll instead do a push or pull again.
Tomorrow is a scheduled leg day, and I’m planning on doing it. But knowing me, I’m going to wuss out.
Is a dedicated Leg day necessary?

Anything I should add/change?

12 week strength program by barbell medicine. got a meet coming up, wouldnt recommend it unless you compete

dont limit yourself with biceps and triceps. keep it the same just add some tricep pullovers on work b and some cable curls on workout A

Just do 5x5 and stop trying to reinvent the wheel, faggot

This is terrible

Why?

monday:
bench press
Incline bench press
shoulder press
t bar
squat
deadlift

Tuesday:
kickbox

Wednesday:
Low intensity bike

Thursday:
kickbox

Friday:
bench press
Incline bench press
shoulder press
t bar
squat
deadlift


While cutting @ 1800 cals.

I wanted to incorporate a strenght routine with my kickboxing. Both ideally 2x a week.
any suggestions/remarks?

Full body three times a week. I just do whatever U feel like but always start with either bench or ohp.
I dont squat because I do not enjoy it, just do deadlifts and quad isolation things.

I was thinking of upper lower body 4 times a week, is this a good idea ?

GOMAD minus SS. Going to bulk as much as I can before lifting to make my pull ups and push ups worth doing.

ABA BAB

A
Squat 5x5
Overhead press 5x5
Calf raises 3x10
Arnold press 5x10
Any abs 2x failure

B
Bench press 5x5
Deadlifts 3x5
Bent over row 5x5
Incline dumbbell press 3x10
Lat pulldown 3x10

Rep ranges are approximate

5/3/1 - 5 day split

Chest
Back
Shoulders
Legs
Arms/Core

On Leg days I do Squats>Front Squats>Leg Press and then go into isolation work. Back days are Deads>Rack Pulls>Isolation. The other days are the compound of the day into isolation work. All 3-5 sets of 10-12, some supersets thrown in at the end if I've got time leftover, but thats mostly on Shoulders/Chest/Arm days. I rest on weekends because I'm normally busy, but if I missed a day earlier on in the week I'll catch it up then.

Also do 60-90 mins of Snatches on monday nights.

I work at my gym so I normally do a heavy session (60-120 mins) earlier on around lunchtime and then later on in the evening if I'm still hanging around I'll do another 45-60 depending on how tired I am or what the time is.

What are your lifts?

Not good. The past two years have involved me getting Ill or injured and having to start again after weeks off. So basically I've been stuck at late beginner stats since.

Your program is bad by the way. Just do greyskull with accessories. Ure a beginner so don't try and create your own program

What's wrong with it?

Ppl 6 days a week

greyskull with some alterations (like front squat instead of back; barbell curls for whenever i have to curl) just because all i have is a standard weight bar. low fat/carb, high protein diet. nuttin speshul.

I do a weird ppl

Ill start with a warm up caliesthetic excercise that has to do with that day of
4x10.

Then ill do the big lift of the day

Warm up weight x10
Add some weight x5
Add some weight x3
Add some weight x 2
Max out at 1
Then go back down doing less reps

Then i do other various excerises on top of it mostly 3x10s for reps to wear me out.

Im seeing the most strength gains from this routine than other things ive tried. Im hoping to get to the coveted 4 plate diddy and cut. I already have a decent amount of muscle i just never did deadlifts. Im already over for everything else.

once a week full body strength maintenance

because i've realised my dissertation ain't gonna write itself

Also I dont do bench press because I need a spotter to really get a good session and I don't do overhead press because I cant figure out where I can do that in the gym and not look like a faggot

I just made this, I know its crap so pls help.

Hey fit I'm hitting the gym with a beginner routine for 3 months, should I change it?
It's basically 2 group muscles divided in 3 days.
Day 1: biceps and triceps
Day 2: legs and shoulders
Day 3: chest and back

I go to the gym 4 days a week

does rep range matter when cutting?

What do you mean? And he does do box squats, which seems a fine replacement for squats

Stop being a fucking retard and skipping legs

Yoga 1-2 times a week

I'm finishing my 2nd cycle of 5/3/1BBB but I think I'm gonna go to a 4 day TM split next week because I feel like my squat and press are getting weaker on 5/3/1.

Started mid January and I'm just doing SL 5x5 with some arm and abs work. Gonna just stick with it until... not sure really. I've peaked at OHP and barbell rows at 85lbs/105lbs and had to deload but everything else is still smooth sailing. I'm enjoying the sense of progress and the satisfaction that comes from committing no matter what.

As an aside, friends have gotten me into two yoga classes and two swim days, so I'm worried about overtraining my body. Some days I'm just super parched and it never goes away but I try not to put too much effort in those workouts.

>friday
>squat 5x5
>squat 3x5

it's good, I may try this starting monday or something. I always worry with PPL that i don't get everything out of my OHP after doing chest.

he says he doesn't squat, the routine also says front squat and deadlift but he doesn't do those either obviously

I do almost the same but:

Chest
Back & deadlift
Legs
Shoulders
Chest

usually throw in arms/abs anywhere i feel like. also i sometimes go sundays when i'm not hungover.

deadlift!!
pull ups
chest flies

idk i could go on. just find a better program is my suggestion

pls respond

I'm planning on doing GZCL Jacked and Tan 2.0. I need to pack on mass and look like I actually lift. Anyone else tried it or have any bodybuilding program recommendation?

>functional strength
>unironically using a crossfit term


Tell me how you apply the (((functional strength))) you get from squat or deadlift into real life. Are you a professional heavy furniture mover? Are you an NFL lineman? No? THen shut the fuck up with your ego lifts you retard. YOu can get as strong as you need to with other lifts without being a muh ego lifter

Next week I'm gonna start GSLP's mass variation.
Why? Because GSLP.

You're bulking without lifting? So... Getting fat?

>fix an injury so you can do an ego lift
>literally stated he's after aesthetics only
I absolutely hate dyel driveby posters

>chest
>back
>shoulder
is that safe for your shoulders? Doesn't bench and row put a decent amount of stress on the deltoids?

I am a dyel doing full body + PPL accessories. Reason for this is because full body is known to be the best way to git stronk as a noob. But I want to promote hypertrophy asap and I don't think full body alone is enough volume to do that.

3x per week:

Mon:
OHP or bench press
BB rows or chin ups
Squat
Chest press machine
Shoulder press machine
Tricep pushdown
Reverse BB curl

Wed:
OHP or bench press
BB rows or chin ups
Diddlies
T-bar row or cable row
Lat pulldown
Face pull
BB curl

Fri:
OHP or bench press
BB rows or chin ups
Squats
Leg press
Leg curl
Calf raise

>GOMAD minus SS. Going to bulk as much as I can before lifting to make my pull ups and push ups worth doing.
What the fuck

Is it a bad idea to do squats and DL in the same workout? I'm doing a upper lower split and not sure when to do DL

>he uses a routine

Never going to make it, you should be able to feel what muscles in your body need a workout every day and focus on them, routines are for beginners who don't know their body very well.

ICF5x5, I started in October and I got around to running full regular routines early December. I wanted full body strength gains with some aesthetic work for change of pace and ego pleasing. Had amazing results so far, I'm just pissed off it keeps reminding me of the author.

Pretty standard PHUL, fits my schedule and since I'm still dyel I progress just fine. Abs+cardio on rest days and pull-ups erry day to get those numbers up.

i used to do that but then i put them on different days because i felt i use too much energy on whichever one i did first that i couldnt go all out on the other exercise

what the even fuck is that chad being?
