Hey, bros. So I did 5x5 Stronglifts for 3 months and now want to switch routines.
Is it a good idea to do compounds 5x5 and add accessories doing them 3x10? I want to build muscle to look good but also to gain in strenght.
Routine example:
Monday:
Bench Press 5 sets of 5 reps
Dumbbell flyes 3 sets of 10 reps
Dips 5 sets of 5 reps
Chest Press on a machine 3sets 10 reps
OHP 5 sets 5 reps
Something like this. Will I reach my goal if I eat big and lift 5 days a week?
>>
Yeah that seems fine to me. I'd throw incline press in there somewhere as well.
>>
Pretty good, switch chest machine press, for db bench press.

But I'd also find your ORM and work off percentages now for the compounds.

Thanks bros. Forgot about incline/decline. db bench press sounds better than machine tbh.

You should have been doing that from the start, if you want strength and size check out the PHUL program, it's what I went to after sl. It's a four day a week
ABxCD
A-Upper strength
B-Lower strength
C-Upper Hypertrophy
D-Lower Hypertrophy
I've noticed the Hypertrophy have helped me make gains and progress more on the strength days. Look it up PHUL

Didn't understand anything, don't know what that is. pls explain.

>>34510087
Don't do decline. It's pretty worthless. Incline helps with the upper chest aesthetic

>>34510106
Find your one rep max on your compound lifts, and work off percentages from them. Like do 3x8 at 70% of your squats one rep max. Working off percentages helps a lot brah

>>34510076
No reason for incline if you are doing bp and ohp.
>>34510058
What are your lifts for reps not internet estat 1rm?
>>
>>34510134
Incline targets upper chest much better than ohp though and if OP wants to look good id suggest it.

One thing to think about when designing routines is the order of lifts going primary -> secondary -> assistance. Bench and OHP are both primary so they should probably be first.
but if you are going to do a body part split like you're showing I recommend 4 day split so each of the big 4 gets its own day. something like 3x5 bench, 3x8 some variation of OHP that isn't OHP, 3x10 weighted pull ups, two 3x10s of assistance work (arm, chest, or shoulder)
an example lower body would be
3x5 squat 3x8 romanian or some other variation DL 3x10 rows (variation up to you), two 3x10 of assistance work (hamstring, glutes, spinal erectors, quads)
or you can do >>34510093 that is a solid program too.
