A friend of mine wants to get back to the gym but he wants to do a stupid bro split routine but I convinced him to do fullbody the first week and do a reasonable split (squat/press/floorpull/row) in the second.

Could anyone ring those recommended routines for people who finish SS?
They seem much more reasonable than the Chest/Back/Shoulders/Arms/Legs split he's suggesting, or maybe I could get him to do Candito's 6 week.

TRAPPY YOU FUCKING SUCK BALLS YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING AND YOURE AN UNEDUCATED TRANSGENDER PIECE OF SHIT

Anyone else not care about their 1RM? How important is it to determine your working sets? I do PPL 6-7x a week, and basically lift heavy enough to barely hit 5x5 on my heavy days, and just drop the weight a little and lift till I'm dead on light days.

>>35627308
squats and deadlifts in the same day is what made me quit SS so I don't know about that but the selection of exercises is solid

>>35627485
What the fuck no
Just put him on canditos linear. It's an upper lower split perfectly fine for beginners and he will have plenty of accessories so he never gets bored.

>>35627552
Working sets are steadily increasing, but I got into a discussion with a coworker who's pretty well versed in fitness, and he claimed your working sets can increase without gaining muscle, or increasing your 1RM, which doesn't make sense to me at all.

I don't think you need a whole day dedicated to the legs, and you certainly don't need lunges or that high of a deadlift volume.
Do Squats at 3x5, deadlift at 1-2x5, and then add a bit of upperbody stuff to B.

The exercise selection looks fine.

>>35627533

1RM isn't really useful for novice/early-intermediate lifters since you're progressing too fast for a 1RM to be precise.
For determining the worksets you just use %s of your previous 5RM and work with that.

>>35627485

Texas Method, Candito's, and Madcow 5x5 are the most common ones for intermediate lifters, I'd say. TM is great because it's a template, so you can customise it a lot to be exactly how you want it to be.

>>35627370

What's a good routine for a girl who wants to lose weight but also wants to build tits and ass?

>>35627573

How long lifting, what's your bw, what are your numbers on the main lifts, what's your goal?

>>35627578
The only way to continue to bigger and stronger is by increasing volume over time. If you do too much volume and you stall, it's going to be hard to add more, which is the best way to break through plateaus.

>>35627610
I'm going to need pics to determine that.

Severed AC Anon here, the modified Candito program is going well. I found my old wrist-roller and ab-roller, and have been jiving to fit both of those into the routine. Can I wrist-roll and add ab work to the end of every session? Or should I wrist-roll on lower days and do ab work on upper days? Vice-versa?

As for ab work, what are your thoughts on the ab-roller and on torture-twists?

Pic related is my goal.

Been working out for 9 months now @ 92kg 1.86m. Squat 185KGx5x5, DL 1601x5, bench 75x5x5, OHP 55x5x5 and 3x10 chins. Want to focus less on squats and more on bench/OHP, but don't know how to yet.
Routine is
A: sq 5x5 90% of 5RM, 5x5 bench/OHP 90% of 5RM
B: sq 2x5 80%A, 3x5 bench/OHP 90% previous 5x5, 3xF chins
C: sq 1x5RM, 1x5RM bench/OHP 1x5RM DL.
Tips on how to improve my bench/ohp, while maintaining squat weight?

trappy-chan,

I did mean ratio of front-to-back squat weight in the previous thread. For your future reference, strengthstandards gives ~87% and symmetricstrength gives ~80% for someone's front-to-back squat ratio.

Thank you for the links

It might look a bit complicated at first but it's really simple. You basically set the initial weights for every day, and then you increase it 1-2kg on the next workout. So even though you're only setting new PRs on C, you're still increasing the intensity on every day with each passing week.
You can go with this scheme for a long while before needing to cycle, but for cycling what you basically do is change the 1x5 5RM for 2x3 3RM and progress with that for 4 weeks, then 3x2 2RM for 3 weeks, and then 5x1 1RM for 3 weeks. Once you're finished with this cycle, you use around 5-10% of your new 1RM for your new 5RM and start progressing with the 5RM again.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

>>35627746

Any choice of cardio is fine, just choose the one you enjoy doing the most. Doesn't make much difference, really.

>>35627751

You can work your wrist every upper day and your abs every day
Ab-rollers are great!

>>35627604
Not that anon but I really like that Texas Method you posted

However, I want a bit more Triceps
Like a rope pulldown
What day would you suggest doing that?

>>35629672
Oh shit
And I would probably add one more forearm exercise

Would those 2 additions be beneficial?

Trappy would you recommend incline situps after my workout if I'm doing CC PPL?

>>35629720
3 sets minimum. 5 sets preferred.
Although, I'm sure if you're an advanced athlete who knows what he is doing then maybe 2 sets might work.

>>35629755
I'm intermediate, lifting 1 year.

It's from Jonnie Candito and I like this scheme.
I found it better to progress and also gain muscle only doing the classic lower body lifts with high frequency and lower volume.

I can focus more on progression over time instead of doing a ton of exercises.

I also do them really intense, these 2x6 deadlifts can fuck you up if you have already squatted heavy

>>35629672

A (push day) and D (fullbody day)
If you really really want to, you can also do it on C (leg day) kek
Your triceps just need a day of rest between one workout and the next - as long as you do light stuff like pulldowns (closegrip bench and dips are not light and should be programmed instead of just added in).

>>35629687

You can do forearms on B and D, since those are the days they are worked the most.
I can't really say if it's beneficial or not because there are diminishing returns when it comes to volume and muscle growth, but try it for yourself and see if you like it.

>>35628901

I'd remove leg extensions and upright rows, since they are really terrible for knee and shoulder health - and developing knee and shoulder issues is not fun and can make you lose a bunch of hard-earned gains.
You can do something like front raises instead of upright rows, and you don't really need to put anything in place of the leg extensions since PHAT already has a crazy amount of leg work and isolation, to the point where it's way too much into diminishing returns for most people.

>>35629720

Looks great. All I would change is -maybe- 3 sets of RDL instead of 2, but it's not really a big deal since you are already doing 2 sets of heavy deadlifts.

>>35629743

I like hanging leg raises and dragonflags more, but decline situps or crunches are good as well.
Aw, I'd love to! <3 But you would have to be here every night for us to snuggle and spoon~

>>35628641

I recommend using barbells for the press and the flat bench, since you can lift heavier with barbells and that leads to more strength development.
I also recommend using barbells for the shrugs, and doing cable crossovers instead of DB flys.
Other than that it looks ok.

>>35629800
I was mostly referring to RDL. Something about metabolic adaption and 3 sets being a minimal number.

But then again Candito does diddy a big 300

>>35629609

Thanks for the tips, babe. It's been a struggle getting back into a routine which works, let alone finding that momentum to keep on top of it all. Two weeks in and the program is feeling good - I'm actually excited to lift again, rather than dreading snapping my shit up.

I haven't been able to keep up with unilateral sets for that busted arm though. By the end of each session that joint is always at it's limit. Would it be a sin to hit those unilateral sets on off days?

Ex:
>M: Lower Strength
>T: Upper Strength
>W: Unilateral dumbbell exercises
>Th: Lower Power
>F: Upper Hypertrophy
>Sat: rest
>Sun: Unilateral dumbbell exercises

What sets and reps would you suggest? Should I try for 3x8 like the rest of the program? Or add in more sets/more reps at a lighter weight for endurance? Or even go heavier with more sets and fewer reps - something like 6x4?

>>35630543

Worry less, lift more. Your muscles are working exactly how they should.
For proper deadlift form you
- put the bar above your middle feet
- you grip the bar shoulder width or so
- you unlock your knees so that they touch the bar
- you lift your chest up
- take a deep breath and brace your entire core and keep the lumbar neutral
- lift
- put it down and release the breath
- repeat

There's nothing else to it for someone who's not a competitor.

Keep fucking lifting you goddamn DYEL faggot.

kids don't fall for the trap's lies. she may be a pure qt but she is blinded by lies taught to her in PT class.

this is an example of a high-test alpha male program:

A: Squat 4x4-6, Decline Bench 4x4-6, Squat 5x10, Decline Bench 5x10, Standing Tricep Extension 3x8, Lateral Raise 3x8

B: Chinup/TBar Row 4x4-6, Deadlift 8x2-3 at your 5RM, DB Row 5x10, Barbell Cheat Curl 3x8, weighted decline situp 3x8, all heavy as fuck

AxBx

no more than an hour, superset if you have to. every workout ends with you drenched & doubles as cardio. eat 3k+ calories a day, and a run a mile a day on top of it

that's a program that i used to do back after i finished SS. rep ranges are just examples and shift as needed but thats what i did most of the time. but don't do this medial forearm pinky muscle pussy isolation bullshit, you'll make zero gains and you're wasting precious time. if you want to master a weight, tou do as many reps in a single workout as you can with it. if you can only do 1 chinup, then do 15 sets of 1 chinup supersetted with dumbbell rows high rep range. 7 days from then you'll be able to do 3 chinups. i guarantee it.

picking 5 movements for each body part just makes you not feel as bad that each of those 5 movements is progressing slow as fuck because you're fucking around in the gym and aren't even soaking your t shirt. pick 2 movements per body group max and GIFD

What routine would you recommend for mass as the primary goal and strength as a secondary? (and yes I do realise the two are very related)

>>35635837
literally just increase the volume.

add another set, or add a couple more reps to each set... adding more sets is preferable, but you might have to deload by a good 10% or more.

plate flips pre-date crossfit.

that post is kinda like saying snatches and cleans are crossfit....

just because a great exercise is associated with crosshit doesn't mean you should disregard it

This is a really bad question, but does the sticky have the resources to build a routine for yourself that targets what you want?

Relatively new, on week 7 of SS, I dont know if I should look for another routine or what's going on. like I don't feel any soreness the next day, even though I can barely push out the last couple reps. My understanding is if it doesn't hurt the next day, you're doing something wrong. Enlighten me /fit/

if you aren't getting DOMS anymore, that is a good thing.

Hi there trappy, feels weird to ask someone which do not lift more than me for advice. But it seems you really do know what you are doing. I would consider myself a intermediate lifter with 4 year under my belt.

My overall numbers are:

1 lmaopl8 the press
1.75 lmaopl8 binch
2.5 lmaopl8 squat
3.5 lmaopl8 diddy

The thing is that after two years of powerlifting I looked like shit so I started to reading about adding exsersices and so on and I come up with a ABC full body routine with tons of auxiliar exersices. Which gave me a better looking body.

But after two years doing it non stop I didnt improve my numbers much and I nearly have plateau in everything. So criticism is appreciated.

The thing is that doing a ABA routine seems to be too hard for my neurological system, lifting heavys always was at a certain point fucking killin me. that's why C is quite softer in heavy lifts.

I'm here bbys~

>>35637611

Looks ok, but I highly recommend you do the main lifts at 3x5. It will make you stronger a lot faster, will guarantee you lift with proper form and avoid injuries in the long term, and it will build you just as much muscle.

>>35637305

Looks perfectly fine. Don't worry about overtraining, it's very unlikely to happen at the point you are in.
Eat and rest well and you'll be good.

Yes, abs and cardio is also completely fine. It's actually a good thing, since it increases your endurance and overall health.

The volume on A is a bit high and has a bunch of overlapping exercises (chinups and closegrip pullups and lat pulldowns), but as long as you have enough time to spend in the gym and it's not affecting the other workouts (which it shouldn't if you're eating and resting enough), it's not a big deal.

>>35636963

Everyone is welcome here~
I don't think there's any serious competitor here, but some people have high numbers.

>>35636942

Working out is causing stress and damage to the muscles. During the rest and sleep, those muscles get repaired and grow, plus your body gets adapted to lifting heavier weights.
This repair/grow/adaptation cycle usually lasts 48h for natty lifters.

Since you are training 3 days per week, you're better off doing fullbody on every day instead of a split. This will give you more muscle growth, since you're gonna have 3 full repair cycles for every muscle, instead of 1.5 cycles with a split.

So switch a few exercises around and you'll maximise hypertrophy.
Switch the dips for the barbell rows. Adding incline bench to B and curls to A might also be a good idea, if you have enough time. If you don't have much time, then change the 4 sets to 3 on most of the stuff. 3 sets is pretty much the optimal volume for the most part, since you are also doing a bunch of variety for the same muscles.

>>35637611
Looks ok, I prefer 3x5 as 5 reps is easier to add more weight on the bar. More weight bigger muscles

>>35636214

I'm not a fan of doing RDL by itself. The RDL is an assistance lift for the DL, not supposed to be a main lift by itself.
There are a few reasons why. The main one is that the DL is a better exercise to develop fullbody strength, since the weights you use are massive.
The second main reason why you should do DL instead of RDL, is that it's easy to fuck up your form on the RDL. With the DL, you are able to reset your breath after every rep, and reset your back so that it's neutral for the next rep. Both of those things guarantee you that your lumbar spine is gonna be safe during the movement.
The RDL, however, since the bar doesn't go back to the floor after the reps, doesn't give you time to breathe and reset the back - you have to do those things DURING the lift.
The problem is, holding the breath is incredibly important to keep core tightness and that is incredibly important to keep the spine in the correct position. Once you let your breath go, the intra-abdominal pressure lowers and the core muscles weaken - and then the lumbar spine loses it's stability and is prone to bend. And this happens multiple times in a single set (8-10 times! in your case).
So you can already see how that's a big issue for your spine health.

So, no one should ever do RDLs then?
No, they have their place as an assistance for the DL. However, people that use the RDL as assistance already have STRONG deadlifts - and thus have very strong core and spinal erectors.
Not only that, but people with strong DLs also have the motor patterns of the lift perfected, and are very unlikely to lose proper form and have their lumbar spine curve and risk an injury.

All that experience and strength with the DL makes it safe and useful to do RDLs. But you have to develop your DL first, in my opinion.

>>35636214

The Clean & Jerk is a lift that's more about technique than endurance, so it's pointless to do it at high reps. You're much better off doing 6 sets of 2 reps than 2 sets of 6 reps.

2 sets is a bit too little for the squats and bench. I recommend you do at least 3 sets, since you need volume to cause enough stress to break the homoeostasis and trigger an adaptive response.
Maybe do 3 sets at 4-6 reps and a back-off set at 8-10, or at least 3 sets at 6-8.

>>35636073

SS and Practical Programming are good places to start.

>>35635837

Building mass and strength are always pretty interlaced since both adaptations happen together during the rest and repair.
If you wanna focus on more hypertrophy and having a slower strength progression, just do more volume and add less weight to the bar.

A TM program is pretty much the best place to start as an intermediate lifter, since the amount of volume is huge. The one I posted here >>35627604 has a lot of volume, so it might be right up your alley. You can add more isolation if you want (and can survive the volume kek).

>>35635046

DOMS usually go away when you start doing the warmup sets. So don't skip the gym because of them. Once you're lifting for a longer while, you will stop feeling DOMS - they mostly happen when you start doing a new movement you were not used to.

DOMS aren't joint/tendon pain, though. Make sure you know the difference.

Never say never :x

What's a good routine if I want to lose weight (fat)? I'm 220 pounds and 5'9" with stalky legs.

My current routine is going to the gym Monday's, Wednesydays and Fridays.

On Mondays I do legs so I'll do stairs for 5 minutes, 10 reps of 3 regular ass to the grass squats, a set of repetition squats as I call them where I put on a comfortable amount of weight and see how many I can do without resting, calf raises with the bar 15 reps of 3, 10 reps of 3 leg presses, and 5 minute stairs to end.

Wednesday's I do chest and tri's. Regular benching 10x3, incline be inching 10x3, close grip bench 10x3, skull crushers 10x3, pyramids if I'm feeling it.

Friday is a free day where I usually just do biceps and forearms.

Should I be doing more cardio or is weight lifting enough to burn? I want to get into jump roping and I want to know if it'll burn faster than stairs because if it does then I'm definitely in it.

I'm also weightlifting with 2 other buddies of mine and we rotate around so it takes us an hour to all get finished. I'm new here so please be gentle

Have you tried a cycling Texas Method? Or a basic TM? TM is good because you have a light day in between the hard days, so it helps with recovery and not accumulating fatigue through the weeks.

Here's a cycling TM routine, a bit more advanced than a simple TM:
AxBxCxx

A Volume day
Bench 5x5 85%
Squat 5x5 80%
Snatch Deadlift 3x5 80%
Lateral Raises 3x8-12

B Light intensity day
OHP cycle
Squat 2x5 65% (paused)
Rows 3x8-12
Triceps isolation 3x8-12
Biceps isolation 3x8-12

C Intensity day
Bench cycle
Squat cyc
Deadlift cyc
Weighted Pullups 3x6-8

>- Cycle -
Phase I - volume
Week 1: 1x5
W2 2x3
W3 2x3
W4 2x3
W5 2x3
W6 3x2
W7 3x2
W8 3x2
W9 4x1
W10 4x1
W11 5x1
Week 12 - try new 5RM (repeat on week 1)

>5x1 means work up to your 1RM and have 4 attempts at breaking it, increasing the weights as you break through or trying again.
>1x5 2x3 3x2 4x1 are sets across

This might look complicated at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Basically what happens here is that you increase the weights on both the volume and intensity days on every week. 2kg on both volume and intensity days. But the reps on intensity days will progressively tapper down to a 1RM, while the volume day will continue at 5 reps. At the end of 2 months, your volume day numbers should have increased by 16kg.
For the intensity day, you keep adding the same amount and dropping the amount of reps. So, for example, on the first intensity day you might do 120kg x 1 set x 5 reps for the squat. For the next, you will do 122x2x3, then 124x2x3 - 126x2x3 - 128x2x3 - 130x3x2 - 132x3x2 - 134x3x2 - 136x4x1 - 138x4x1 - 140x5x1. Then on week 12 you try a new 5RM, and use it for the start of the next cycle.
Meanwhile, volume day increases 2kg every week steadly.

Let me know if you have any questions~

>>35640297
the only other experience I had from lifting was when I was a teenager. I just had a bench-press and some barbells, so i did the bench-press, curls push-ups and chin-ups and I boxed alot.


.however, since the past 10 years, i havnt seen the inside of a gym until this week. I'm a bit out of practice and the practice has changed.

I remember doing reps of 8 to 12 and than adding 5 pounds to each side. Repeat until you can't do more than 6, and then start reducing weight. Around the time I stopped lifting, due to giving up boxing, I could put up 265lbs 3x.

The guide says to start with sets of 5? have things changed that much?

>>35640402

>>35640452
reps of 5 eh?

hard to see how that's better / safer than reps of 12.

without having been to the gym in years, I could probably throw 200lbs on a bar and lift it 5 times, trowing my back out with it.

>>35640525

How about you read the fucking program instead of making assumptions?

Trappy please post cbt

>>35640559
also, why is dead-lift so important. what exactly does it do for you?

>>35640586
nothing 12-rep curls won't do :^)

>>35640559
>wowbig man 200lb
what I'm saying ehre is that, I feel like I get more out of lifting 135lbs 12x than i would from 200lbs 5x.

I'm not bragging, i'm weak as shit atm

>>35640648

Technically you'd probably get more size out of 12 x 135 then you would out of 5 x 200. Look at it this way though.

Let's say you go with the sets of 5 reps. Because of the lighter volume, you'll be able to increase weight much faster than if you were to try to belt out sets of 12 before progressing.

By the time you reach 12 reps of 200 lbs your progression would have already taken you to 5 reps of 265 - assuming uninterrupted 5 lb weight increments. If you have the strength to rep 265 for 5, you will probably be able to belt out 12 reps of 185.

Once you build a respectable strength base (if you're not an obese beast 1/2/3/4 plates on the main 4 compounds is good enough) you can move to higher volume for greater size and move heavier weight more times then you would if you were working on muscle size/endurance the whole time.

>>35640648
>feelings
Get out of my gym.

>>35640648
well that's like your opinion, man

you're going to be doing 5 rep sets, so might as well "train" for 5 reps; which is why you'll be raising the weight in increments at a rapid pace, doing only 5 reps.
It's safer because you'll be stronger, won't have to deal with form deteriorating from fatigue (if the weight causes it to, you're doing too much) and allows for better CNS gains
;3
Not saying 12- reps don't have its place in training, but quite pointless to do if you can still progress at a steady, systematic rate e.g. after not having trained for a while or being a clueless beginner.

There is no difference in hypertrophy in people who do 3x8 and those that do 5x5. The difference is the guy who did 5x5 will get stronger.

The only benefit 3x10 has over 5x5 is it doesn't take as long.

What routine should I do if I want aesthetics right after SS? My lifts are all intermediate level and I'm currently cutting but I just want to look good.

>>35641019

>http://www.strengtheory.com/the-new-approach-to-training-volume/

I don't know how this guy doesn't connect the dots and just come out and say that it's time under tension that's important.

Basically, his philosophy boils down to "More sets of less reps at a higher weight". The sweet spot is right there in the data:

Lots of sets with light reps at heavy weight with a lot of rest in between sets. This way you're maximizing time under tension: note rest between sets has no impact on muscle gain. Here's a hypothetical:

A trainee's 1RM is 225, his 5RM is 200, and his 12RM is 135. The 'conventional' wisdom is performing 3x5 sets of 200 to increase strength, or 3x12 sets of 135 to increase size. The research above shows that the optimal training program would be, say, 9 sets of 225 to failure.

So, technically, in a closed system training for 1RM is objectively better than 5RM in both size and strength, as training for 5RM is for 12RM. The problem is we all have limited time.

When you're knocking out sets of 12 at a light weight you only need about a minute of rest to prepare for the next set. Sets of 5 need about 2 minutes. Going for your 1RM requires 5+ - Candito mentions resting 10 or more minutes in his videos for those PR sets.

So 3x12 requires about 10 minutes to perform.
5x12 requires about 15 minutes to perform.
9x1 requires 20+ minutes to perform.

The question then boils down to how much time you have to devote to working out. For someone who can only manage a few sessions a week (due to physicality/time constraints/motivation) is better off following the 'conventional' wisdom of 3x4-6 for strength, and 3x8-12 for hypertrophy.

Thanks for the link though, if one has a homegym and ample free time it shouldn't be too hard to piece together a perfect program.

Please rate this routine. I have just done starting strength and I'm wanting to get better aesthetics and strength

Greg Cuckols is a retard and that article is shit. The studies are obviously non-conclusive when it comes to hypertrophy.

>>35641267

>5x12 requires about 15 minutes to perform

That should be 3x5. I'd say that's fair - fifteen minutes to belt out 3x5 on squats at 5RM.

This whole thing reminds me of some greentext an anon threw out somewhere. He worked as a mechanic and one of his buddies had a bad temper. The dude was a beast, 50 years old and could pull 8plt. Instead of getting pissed, he just went up to his office and belted out 2 or 3 extremely heavy deads. The dude did it 7 or 8 times a day.

7 sets of 1RM to failure with half hour rest periods between.

>>35641318
Total volume matters most when it comes to hypertrophy, not specific rep ranges. This is well known in the sports science world.

>>35641325

Check this out, bros. The science also shows that proficiency goes up with training, right? If you want to bench 225 20 times, the best way to achieve that is to train to lift 225 20 times - not 265 5 times or 315 1 time or 135 100 times.

It seems then that the point of training should focus on two things: increasing your 1RM and building functional strength. Functionality defined as your endurance, power, and strength that you use in your daily life. If you're laying rebar, this could be picking up and carrying 100 pounds of steel at a time. If you're a bagger at a grocery store who walks old ladies to their car you're looking at moving 10 pound bags over and over again.

Check this out, if you're lifting for aesthetics or to compete or for health then you need the sophisticated programming. But if you're a boxer, or a martial artist, or a blue collar worker, or a soldier, it's better to train for 1RM specifically and harden the body through training in your craft/skill.

>>35638818
Thanks for responding trappy. As for doing 3x5 on my main lifts, what if my goal is aesthetics first and strength second? Is the above rep range you recommended still ideal? Your wisdom, as always, is deeply appreciated. Btw any idea what medical area you want to specialise in yet?

Trappy, how much do you squat?

>>35640344
What program would you recommend for someone wanting to add a lot of weight on their really shitty deadlift? I squat 365, bench 240 but I deadlift like 135 since I never train deadlifts.

Sorry bby, lots of people to respond and I've been exhausted since yesterday~

The unilateral DB exercises can work as long as you give a day of rest between the upperbody training and the upperbody DB training. Doing it right after or before an upperbody day not only diminishes the results, but it might also affect recovery (which can be a big deal for the injured arm).

The standard 3x8-12 is the most useful for DB work. Try to aim for 10 reps.

>>35630142
>>35628217

This TM routine has tons of volume and includes a good amount of isolation, which is great for someone looking for aesthetics besides strength gains. It's also balanced between push and pull, so that you achieve a good physique.

What matters the most for hypertrophy is the overall high-intensity volume (mainly amount of sets under high effort) - at least from what we currently know/understand.
3x5 does give good results for muscle growth, specially because it's always high intensity.
I've had lots of guys in my gym who were reluctant to switch from 8-12 reps to 5 reps on the bench press, but once they did, the results became a lot faster - both when it comes to muscle growth and specially when it comes to strength.

You don't need a specific program for the deadlift at that weight. Just deadlift 3x per week, add as much as 6-8kg per workout (like you would with SS), and your deadlift numbers are gonna get high really fast.

You can worry about a deadlift-specific program once your DL numbers are closer to your squat and it's no longer viable to increase it once per week.

Squats are better than lunges in every way. Even split squats are better than lunges.
This is just my opinion though.

PPL (x2)

PUSH (alternating)
5x5 flat BB press OR 5x5 OHP
3x12 incline chest flies
3x12 DB incline chest press
3x12 landmine press
3x12 Arnold press OR 3x12 side lateral raise
3x12 DB OHP
3x12 rear delt raise
3x12 tricep pushdown
3x12 triceps rope pulldown
3x12 kickback or skullcrusher

PULL
5x5 DL
3x12 BB rows
3x12 wide grip lat pulldown
3x12 underhand cable pulldown
3x12 seated cable rows
3x12 DB curls
3x12 narrow EZ bar curls
3x12 hammer curls (subset)

LEGS
5x5 squat
3x12 leg press
3x16 lunges
3x12 hamstring curl
3x12 leg extension
3x12 inner thigh machine (or whatever its called)
?xF calf raises

Assuming time is not a factor is this still overkill?

decrease reps per set and increase number of sets when cutting. while cutting, your body does not have the extra carbohydrates to store as glycogen, so your ability to do sets with 6+ reps is depleted. the first several reps of a set use ATP for energy, so the the lack of glycogen is a non issue.

for example, instead of doing 3x10 squats at 60-70% of orm, you could do 6x5 squat at 60-70% of orm with shorter rests for the same volume and intensity. however, for this type of training, I would suggest higher intensity per set, such as 6x5 at 75-80% of orm.

I would also put more focus on your main lifts, such as bench, ohp, squat, deadlifts, rows, chins, and dips when cutting. the reason again is your lack of glycogen making it harder to do several lifts with full effort in a day. consider dedicating each day to one of the four main lifts and follow the main lift with a compound accessory lift the compliments the main lift. Do these with full effort, high intensity and volume, and call it a day. leave the dumbbell and single joint movements for bulking.

your goal during a cut, unless you are just beginning to lift, in which case you should probably be doing SS or some SS clone with added accessories, is to retain muscle and strength, not to build muscle. so, the higher reps are wasted and can often be discouraging because you are not able to lift as much as when you were bulking, which is not as much of an issue with lower rep sets. Creatine is also very helpful for this type of training for the extra ATP production.

I've always had trouble retaining muscle and strength when cutting, but this style of training was very effective for this for me.

most of this was taken from https://www.t-nation.com/training/how-to-stay-strong-when-dieting, written by Paul Carter, whose website is http://www.lift-run-bang.com/?m=1

>>35642044

>The unilateral DB exercises can work as long as you give a day of rest between the upperbody training and the upperbody DB training.

Looks like I'm limited to Sundays then. I think I'll go heavy on the flat DB press and standing DB press - something like 5x4 - and use the same weight as the weekly work-sets for the Lat-Raise, DB-Curl, and Shrug.

>DB Bench 5x4
>DB Shrug 3x12
>DB Press 5x4
>Lat-Raise 3x12
>DB Curl 3x8 - supinated of course ;^)

I'll let you know how it goes. Enjoy your weekend and get some rest. Take care, babe.

Thanks dude! Valuable post. If I keep my program as it is, but like you said, drop some of the unnecessary stuff and change sets/reps from 3x10 to 4 or 5x5 does that sound good? What u said makes sense. I guess those higher end reps ill save for bulking

kek I'm super paranoid about my wrists. I used to play starcraft a lot with my friends and one of them developed wrist issues. And we used to go really hard on the keyboard, always trying to keep 200+ apm and stuff (mostly spamming ofc)...

>>35642147

Add the cardio to http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:The_Program and do it instead.

>>35641317

By "done SS" you mean how many months?
Your routine isn't bad, but if linear progression isn't working for you anymore, you need another program.

In case you're still in the novice stage and just wanted to switch things out a bit, then it's mostly fine.
3x8 SLDL isn't necessary at all, specially after doing 3x5 deadlifts. It's just too far into diminishing returns. I'd do dips there instead, since the OHP doesn't train your sternal pecs and triceps as much as the bench.
And for A I'd do lateral raises and cable crossovers instead of dips, since the bench already trains the muscles you mainly use on the dips. The lateral raises, however, will strengthen your OHP - and the cable crossovers are very important for both strengthening the whole chest, but also for aesthetics since it has a longer range of motion than the bench press (which leads to better muscle development).

>>35644385
I'm the last guy you responded too. I did SS for about 10 months now. Linear progression has stopped and I usually go up 5 lbs every two weeks. Should I be doing a different program than the one I posted? My lifts are intermediate according to Symmetric Strength

>>35644444

Both the upper and lowerbody? Or are you still able to progress on the squats and deadlifts?

For upperbody it's much easier to progress by adding 1kg increments. You can go a looong way with the bench and ohp doing it like this, 2kg increments just make people stall too much.

But yes, you should change your program to an intermediate program that focuses on weekly progression instead (like Texas Method).

Here's a TM 3-day per week routine based on your routine:

A Volume day
Bench 5x5 at 90%
Squat 5x5 at 80-90%
Barbell Rows 5x5 at 80-90%
SLDL 3x8

B Light day
OHP 3x5 +1kg
Dips 3x8-12
Chinups 3x8-12
Curls 3x8-12
Ab work

C Intensity day
Bench 3x5 +1kg
Squat 1x5 +2kg
Deadlift 1x5 +2kg
Barbell Row 1x5 +1kg
Curls 3x8-12
Ab work

>>35644518
Honestly it's opposite for me. My bench and OHP are much more advanced than squat and deads. I have squat mobility issues I'm still fighting (tight hip flexors).

Squat 190 lbs x5
Deadlift 280 x5
Bench 190 x5
OHP 135 x5

Thanks for the routine. That looks really good. I'm looking for both strength and aesthetics and TM sounds like it's the best of both.

Oh, I see. Your numbers aren't bad though. You're close to a 3pl8 DL and 2pl8 squat, which isn't too shabby at all.

Btw you can also do the back-off sets of 1x8 if you want. 4x5+1x8 instead of 5x5 will work just as well.

Would doing madcow type progression 5x5 ramping sets with weighted chinups be a good Idea?

>>35645678

Ramping sets are pretty good, but what you mean by "madcow type progression"? Incorporating chinups on monday and friday as well?

I also think sets across are more useful than ramping sets for weighted chinups. Most of the weight for the chinups comes from your bodyweight, so ramping the weight increases actually isn't much of an actual "ramp" since you can't lower your bodyweight.
If you weigh 80kg, for example, and your 5RM is +20kg - doing ramping sets would have you start at 90kg, with your max being 100kg. That's a "ramp" of only 10%, which is pretty pointless. The "ramp" from madcow/starr's 5x5 is of over 50%, in comparison.

>>35646006
I have a lighter 3x8 weighted chinup day at the beginning of the week, I'm just wondering how I should set up my heavy day. Would 3x5 sets across be better?

>>35646006

I find it amazing that you always seem to know what you're talking about. It didn't even dawn on me why ramping chinups wouldn't be useful until you mentioned the bodyweight issue. Even your most "radical opinions" are still reasonable, like the RDL thing you talked about above or when you talk about how chinups are better than pendlay rows. Even when I don't agree 100% (I love my rows) I still feel like what you say is pretty much always correct. I kind of hope one day I need some programming advice, so I can get it from you and tell you how helpful you are (and then hopefully you reply with a cute heart).

Just keep lifting, you'll grow stronger. Don't worry about adding a bunch of stuff, just get good at the main lifts first.

For the press, try doing it seated with dumbbells or something. At least until your lowerback grows stronger.

Remember to add the weight of the bar when counting.

>>35647250

If you've been away for 6 months you should at least do a month of SS to get used to the lifts again, before jumping into something high on volume and intensity.
Nevertheless, here's an example of a TM-like split for 5 days per week. Wrote it for someone else but it might work for you, or at least serve as inspiration. It's pretty intense so you have to eat and rest very well or you won't recover and will end up stalling. If you don't plan on going this hard on a program, you can try a 4-day split instead - since it's much less taxing and has longer periods of rest and recovery.

That's why the elite athletes all train 7 days per week at 100% effort all month, right

And yet you don't see the folly of your ways. Or you do, but you're only comfortable asking advice from a trap on a Canadian wedding photography forum. Carry on then.

>>35648422

I don't think he was asking for advice mate.

Why are you people so salty about trappy anyways? Is it all just jealousness?

I have my lifting routine down, but want to join the military next year. Currently fat as fatass 220lb 5'10
Want my 2 mile run at 12:00, 71 push ups in 90 seconds and 71 sit ups in 90s.
If I eat 1500 cals a day, run on mon, wed, fri doing couch to 5k, do five sets of push ups to exhaustion and five sets of sit ups to exhaustion tue thur sat will I reach these goals?

>Tl;dr how to get 71 push ups/sit-ups 90s and 12:00 2 mile by next year if im fat af

>>35647901
Damn, really appreciate the routine. I've done a month of lifting for a month cause I knew it would take a while to get on the wagon. I'll be sure to drop by this thread after a month.

>>35648472
Yeah, why else would someone post their routine in a thread where people ask for advice about their routines?

>>35648662

To show it off? This thread isn't just about asking for advice, people show their routines all the time.

>>35648478
Do push-ups. Do sit-ups. Run. Seriously if your not in any shape start small. Go to Stew Smiths website. As a guy in the Army, being an operator means living a healthy lifestyle. Eating clean is 95% of the battle but thb senpai with your stats start small. You can make it but it'll be a journey until you can 18x that shit.

>>35646855
>>35647901
oh ok, thanks fellows.

>>35648478
I primarily do calisthenics: you wouldn't believe the increases you get in numbers by losing weight. that should, first and foremost, be your goal. Weight will make literally everything harder for you to do.

The five sets of pushups and situps to failure may increase your raw ability for endurance, but there are other ways you can improve it too. One method, "greasing the groove" is where you test your max number of reps, and do half that number every hour or so, for 8-12 sets over the course of a day. this helps prepare the motor recruitment patterns and can be a useful counterpart to the raw volume you're doing.

if you can throw in pullups or bodyweight rows, I'd do that in addition to the pushups to help ensure you keep your shoulders healthy and avoid creating imbalances and bad posture. Rows preferable to pullups as they're the direct antagonist, pullups are better than nothing.

Be careful with your back and posture during the situps, you can place large amounts of stress on the lumbar region in particular if you fuck around with them.

Once you've hit 5k, either increase the mileage you do each week, or decrease your time interval.

>>35647901

Every time you show a little bit more of your face, I fall in love even harder. And so does my dick.

>>35648122

I don't know if I'd call that 8day no rest 60 sets per day routine "easy".

According to symmetricstrenght my bench is lacking big time, could I do a month of SS where I switch place of bench and squats, so I bench 3 times a week and squat 1.5?

>>35647901
>Deadlift max effort set
>ONE DAY after doing rows, chinups to failure and then more rows, also doing OHP before deadlifts in the same workout
ABxC... would be better then ABCx, also why would you want to tire out your back/core before doing heavy deadlifts?

>>35647056
Stats?

>>35646006
>If you weigh 80kg, for example, and your 5RM is +20kg - doing ramping sets would have you start at 90kg, with your max being 100kg.
what? why couldnt you start ramping at your bw?
but yeah, you cant ramp as much.

>>35627273

>>35651008
>Also will doing 20 minutes of cardio in the morning help?
Doing cardio will(almost) always help, better cardiovasular health=better recovery, being in somewhat good shape improves your life quality, etc. Doing large amount of cardio will probably affect your lifting negatively but if you keep it to 2-3 times/week and don't kill yourself every session you won't notice it unless you're near the top of your natty potential.

I do a ton of cardio (for me anyway). Weights = 3x/week, cardio after for 30 minutes. Four days 1 hour of cardio. Usually split it up between upright stationary bike, elliptical, row machine. When it gets warmer here I'll go back to running outside.

But I need all the cardio to offset an otherwise sedentary lifestyle. I work from home and really only leave the house for errands and to go to the gym. I'm old with a family. It's gay.

I'm not sure wether I should start with upper or lower on day A.
I think I prefer upper on day A, so I don't have to row while being sore from deadlifts, for example.
Any suggestions?

I think you forgot your F day, friend.

Been working out for a year, had some shit routines for a good chunk of it, still dyel (6ft, 155 pounds, 135 pound bench, 225 pound squat, 80 pound overhead press). Should I stick with my phraks greyskull routine by adding weight only when I can do the 3x5 for that weight, start to add weight everytime, or find a new routine?

r8 my routine, fgts
(monthly) periodization on pplxppl split
(didn't really like 531 or tm so i came up with my own)

push day:
bench/ohp* (5x3, 5x5, 5x8, deload)
ohp/bench* (3x5, 3x8, 3x10, deload)
chest fly (2x8, 3x10, 4x12, deload)
lying tric extension (2x8, 3x10, 4x12, deload)
lateral delt fly (2x8, 3x10, 4x12, deload)

legs
squat/deadlift* (5x3, 5x5, 5x8, deload)
rdl/frontsquat* (3x5, 3x8, 3x10, deload)
some hamstring, calf and ab isolation (same rep schemes as with isolations on push day)

pull day:
weighted pullups (5x3, 5x5, 5x8, deload)
db rows (3x5, 3x8, 3x10, deload)
some rear delt, lat, biceps isos (same rep/set schemes as isolations on push day)

PPLx(PPL)*x (ie: 1st push day i do 5x3bench and 3x5ohp, next push day would be 5x3ohp and 3x5bench)
similar with lowerbody lifts: 1st leg day i do 5x3squats and 3x5 romanian dls, next leg day would be 5x3deads with 3x5 front squat)

i also do PPLxPPLx cause i'm not constrained to 7 days/week (home gym)

1st cycle is based on pure strength increase volume is somewhat low to accomodate for bigger neural stress due to lifting close to 90% of 1rm

2nd cycle is transitional and starts with 5x5(for main lifts, 3x8 for 2nd lift and 3x10 for isos)

3rd cycle is very high volume (5x8 main lifts, 3x10 for 2nd lift, 4x12 for isos) with reduced weight and much shorter rest periods

4th cycle (deload) is the same as 2nd, except weights are cut down to about 40%
then i increase the weight and start all over again

i don't do powerlifting, i lift for aesthetics
though i realize i have to use powerlifting methods to keep gaining muscle (cant really expect to continuously grow doing everything for 3sets of 10)
currently at 195/320/435/485 (for 3 reps since i don't do singles) at 217lbs 6ft

i urge every fgt out there who is stuck on same weight to try weekly-monthly periodization.
you don't have to be a powerlifter to reap the benefits

>>35654319

I run and don't care about getting bigger at all.

>>35655934

Go to the gym and do whatever for 30min.

>>35654452
I like it. I'm doing something similar as fare as periodization goes, except I bench and squat 3x a week and deadlift 2x. Bench and deadlift I do monthly periodization similar to yours, and squat I do DUP.

pullups 5xmax
farmer walks 5x 8/8
calf raises 5x20

>>35654452
I'd use the deload week to retest my maxes and just cut out the accessories. So do AMRAP with 85% of 1rm and add weight for the next cycle based on how many reps you got.

If you're able to do rope pulldowns, you can just increase the range of motion by extending the shoulders after locking the elbows and the benefit is gonna be similar to the skullcrushers.

You need to do 100%+ work on at least a single day bby

>>35649971

It's not as simple as just increasing the frequency. The muscles involved in the bench press are much smaller and weaker than the muscles involved in the squat.
How long have you been lifting for, what's your current routine, what's your bw, and what are your numbers? I can help program you something for your bench. Just keep in mind that a program isn't the most important thing - eating and resting well is what dictates progression the most.

>>35650448

I was talking about ramping it in the madcow/starr method, which starts at 50% of the weight. But yeah you could ramp from 0 - but I still don't think it's valuable for the chinup.

That TM split looks really good thanks for posting it--not the anon who requested it, but I think I'll start doing this one.

>>35653086
Declined situps, leg raises, L-sits, dragonflag progressions, invest in an ab-wheel. Problem solved.

If they have legs in the routine, and you don't want to train your legs, here's a novel suggest: just don't do the fucking leg exercises. That wasn't so complicated was it?

As for routines, depending on the weight of your dumbbells you'll exceed them pretty quickly. so I'd just start a bodyweight routine like the r/bodyweightfitness one or head over to the bodyweight general at /asp/ and get the torrents for Foundation.

>getting your lifting advice from a trap who has never even benched 1plate

Hey Trappy
I've been lifting for a couple years now, not continually, because I've had to stop every year for crew season, but I've made some pretty good gains with SL 5x5 and GSLP. However, I'm not trying to get big and shit, I'd rather have a workout that helps with my overall fitness and lays on some dense muscle, without ballooning up. Is the key just to keep lifting in this kind of program, or maybe with a bit less lower body like a PPL, while not eating at a surplus, or maybe even a small deficit? Thanks!

>>35659245

Take a look at the routine she posted here, might work for you >>35657882
