Routine thread Yo brothers critique my routine, any help is appreciated. My goal with this is a sort of powerbuilding program with a focus on building the deadlift and the barbell row. My main doubt is whether this amount of deadlifts and rack pulls is too much or too little. Also, i am a beginner and i can only workout in these days. 5 lbs is added after each session.
MONDAY - LEGS Squat 5x5 Deadlift 3x5 Front squat 3x10 Traps 4x10 Calves 4x10 Neck 4x10 Abs 4x10
Started working out with a female friend. She wants to do the same exercises as me, but I've been lifting for a few years and it's probably not good for her to do the same stuff. She's not overweight or anything, but she's really weak, like only 1 pushup weak. How the fuck do I make a routine for this, I don't ever remember a time in my life when I was this weak.

I'm running a 4 day bastard version of Phrak's GSLP ABxABxx
B 2x5, 1x5+ Military Press 2x5, 1x5+ Pull-up 1x5+ Deadlift 3x10 Skullcrusher
Instead of adding 1kg to upper body lifts and 2kg to lower body lifts. I just add 2,5kg to all lifts every week (but if i hit more than 10 reps on the last set I add the weight in the next workout). I also do a casual ab circuit on rest days that consist of 3 rounds of 20 crunches, leg raises, v-ups, sit-ups and reverse crunches.

Well, you could refer her to the reddit recommended bodyweight routine, it's a really good program, and once she has a baseline strength she could move on to working with weights.

Any good routines I should follow that don't involve squats and deadlifts? I'm going to be honest with you guys I hate being in the squat/deadlift area cause I always think I'm doing them in bad form even after watching 100s of videos of them and don't like it when people watch.
I'm trying some RTS inspired stuff. I only train twice a week so I always try to achieve a lot of fatigue. I always do lifts with a given weight I can do for 3-7 reps for main lifts and 5-15 reps for assistance work. I warm up and do my top set one rep shy of failure. After that I deload the weight by approx 15% and keep on doing sets with the same amount of reps as my first set and 1-3 mins of rest inbetween until the the last rep feels as hard as the first set, 15% fatigue achieved. For some exercises, like chinups, dips and other bodyweight stuff I instead do my first set one rep shy of failure and just do 85% the amount of reps for the following sets.
A >Main Lifts OHP Deadlift
B >Main Lifts Bench Squat
I always do the same for bodyweight stuff and assistance work. >Bodyweight Stuff Chinups supersetted with Dips >Assitance Lifts Curls supersetted with Overhead Triceps Extension DB Rows Facepulls
Feel like I'm doing way more volume than I did before on other routines, despite the low reps. It's not unusual for me to do like 6-8 sets including the first top set. Let's see if this will net any long term gains though.
