Pendlay Rows for strength. This why no gains bro. 10 reps of Deadlifts? I bet u also suck dick on the regular

Rows and chin/pull-ups seem like they should be done at higher reps than 5.

The strength section looks like a ludicrous amount of volume most days. 9 sets of presses that are all going to be hitting triceps, and most hitting front delts? I can't imagine being able to do all of those at weights that'd make it much better than cardio.
Is this for somebody on gear? Or am I just missing something about alternating some of these exercises?

>>34894325

No, you're just DYEL.

Besides, if you read the instructions you'll see it allows you to remove exercises to reduce volume or time spent at the gym.

>>34894325

There's literally no upper-body press that doesn't hit the triceps and front delts...

But the inclined bench press is optional.

so i think im reqdy to switch from SL + accessories. i found some PPLs online but they all require one day on the weekend which isnt viable for me for certain reasons.

i kinda modified a 5 day advanced PPL into a 4 day intermediate.

is this going to give me enough recovery as an intermediate lifter?

PHAT is a great routine. I don't think it's perfect, though.
Firstly, I don't like that it divides the strength work into upper and lower. I'd rather have it divided into PPL - that way you can progress better on the main strength lifts.
Secondly, it doesn't have barbell bench press and OHP. Sure, it has the DB version of the exercises, but when it comes to strength the barbell versions are more important.

Now, that's not to say it's a bad routine. It's a bodybuilding routine, so he doesn't focus a lot on strength training.

The hypertrophy days are fine. Though I don't like the "speed work", I think it's not useful and not safe. It would be much smarter to have lifts that actually train your power and speed generation, like the power clean, instead of doing squats at high speed.

I'd also remove a few exercises:
Upright rows: the most useless and dangerous exercise in the weightroom.
Leg extensions: not useless, but just not healthy for your knee. Front squats, sissy squats, or even pistol squats, are a much better idea.

>>34898077

It's utter shit. Do >>34893985 instead.

>>34898020

8/10
Shrugs are useless unless you're roiding. Power Cleans and Deadlifts will build you upper and middle traps a lot more than shrugging. Unless you're doing the barbell shrug, then it's pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0t_hCzUgvM
But then you might as well just learn the full PC.

By incline DB you mean bench? I don't think it's very useful on a full-body routine. You're already doing flat bench and OHP, doing inclined bench is just redundant as it's the same thing.

I'd add lateral raises and skullcrushers (remember the bar is not supposed to go to your forehead, but actually go behind your head and further down). They are much more useful in your routine than shrugs or inclined bench.

I'd do chinups instead of pullups, as they train your biceps a LOT more, and train your lats just as much.

>>34893985

Don't rate it for the lack of frequency.

Part of making strength gains is developing the motor pattern so your body becomes more efficient/effective at the movement

Doing an exercise once per week is less productive.

Forgot to complete it, kek.

Dragon flags, hanging leg raises, declined crunches (not sit-ups), hyperextensions, oblique hanging leg raises. Bicycle crunches are cool too.

>>34897966

It looks fine.

>>34898105

Do one-arm lat pulldowns, they are pretty good. They have the longest ROM for your lats out of any other back exercise.

I'd do deadlifts on leg day. It does train your back, but it's much heavier on your hip extensors.

Leg extensions are awful for your knees.
Leg press is pretty useless imo, just do front squats instead of extensions and presses.

>>34899389

Looks ok, but reverse pyramid on deadlifts isn't very useful. It's much better to do 100% DL and then lighter SLDLs.

The rest is cool.

Yes, 3x5 is much better than 5x5. Reg Park's and SS are both 3x5.
SL is 5x5 and it's made by a marketing firm with no idea what they're doing. They took SS, made it a diluted version, and made it 5x5 to say it was inspired by Reg Park's 5x5 - but RP's 5x5 is actually 3x5, the first two sets are warmups.

>>34899498

I'd do OHP before the inclined DB bench.
You might wanna try one-arm lat pulldowns. They have the longest ROM for your lats out of any other back exercise.

In any case, you're doing too much pulldowns. They're not that good of a back exercise, pullups and chinups are infinitely superior. This is due to the eccentric during the pulldown being handled a lot more by your forearms, while it's handled primarily by your lats on the pullups.

5 sets of deadlifts is just too much, specially considering you do 3 sets of SLDL and 3 sets of squats right after.
Do 3 sets of DL at MOST.

>>34899571

That is an intermediate routine. It's not made for beginners, it's made for someone who already has developed the motor patterns.

>>34899675
I am >>34899389
Do you think that my hypertrophy on this program would be negatively affected if I drop from 5x5 to 3x5 due to the drop in volume on the major lifts? Should I add some volume to upper two in the form of an additional set of db bench and cable row?

>>34899510

>>34900438

I don't like PHUL for several reasons.

The first and most obvious one is that it provides you no chance of progressing on the main lifts. It throws all the main upper/lower lifts into a single day. If you look at the routine, you'll see that you will simply never progress on the OHP, for example.

The second reason is that the exercise selection is terrible.
>lat pulldown
A shitty version of the chinup/pullup
>leg extension
Terrible for your knees.
>leg curls
Not really useful if you're doing DL. It's not a bad exercise, just not the best exercise for the hamstrings. A better alternative would be the GHR, or better yet the SLDL.
>leg presses
Meme exercise. Only reason to ever do leg presses is if you are a professional bodybuilder and already have a massive butt. If you wanna have a leg exercise that focuses on your quads even more than front squats, then do sissy squats.
>dumbbell flys
Literally the worst version of the flys. It is known to cause shoulder and pec injury. If you start doing heavy flys, you simply have no way to fail a rep in a safe way.
A much, much better equivalent is the cable crossover. Not only it's safe, it also provides a longer range of motion for the pecs, and a much harder contraction. Why the hell people still do DB flys instead of crossovers is beyond me.
>barbell lunge
Why... Just why would you waste your time doing lunges, specially barbell lunges?

Now, I'm a bit picky with this. Some of those are ok-tier, not bad, but still.

The third reason is the deadlift volume. The program wants you to do 3-4 sets of 3-5 reps of squats, then do the same thing with deadlifts. Why would you do 4 sets of deadlifts when ONE (1) is enough? To fuck up strength progression? To make your recovery a lot worse? To go to snap city? There's simply no point in doing so much DL volume unless you do it below max effort or are an advanced lifter.

Finally, it lacks some important exercises, like the chinups, facepulls, crossovers, etc...

>>34894383
I'm the one that actually lifts hard enough that doing 6-9 sets of work for the exact same muscles would risk injury, and I'm the DYEL. Sure. Stay jelly smallfag.

>>34899781

Not at all. Your routine has a lot of volume already, you don't need to worry. Besides, you're also doing a bunch of assistance stuff with DBs that hit the same muscles, so it's not like you're just doing 3 sets for your pecs or triceps.

But I do think it's better to do 3x5 on the main lifts with extra assistant/isolation work than 5x5 on the main lifts. That way you don't sacrifice strength progression for extra volume.
5x5 has its uses, but 3x5 is the main focus on pretty much all major (and actually good) strength routines.

>>34899927

Oh, the routine on OP is just an example. I'm sure there are plenty of others better than PHUL.
But that routine allows you to customise the volume to fit your schedule. Read the instructions there.

>>34900103

Gave my opinion on shrugs here >>34899510
Decline bench isn't really useful. It's just flat bench with a shorter range of motion. Do inclined bench instead.
Wide grip chinup is useless. It just shortens the range of motion of the lats and puts your biceps in a weak position. Do closegrip, it's better both for your back and arm development.
Gave my opinion on DB flys here >>34902523 do cable crossovers instead
Do one-arm lat pulldowns. They have the longest ROM out of any exercise for your lats. If you're gonna do the normal lat pulldown, then just do pullups instead. It's a better exercise.
I'm not really a fan of good mornings. I'd do back extensions or pendlay rows instead.
Do 1-2x3-5 deadlifts. 3x8 DL is kind of a waste. If you wanna do high volume DL, then do romanian DLs instead.
Leg extension is shit, avoid at all costs. Leg press is pretty useless too. Do front squats instead of those two.
I'd do 3x5 back squat and 3x5 front squats. You gotta make those legs strong as well.
I'd do 3 sets of a type of squats on friday too. You should hit your legs twice per week. Sure, the DLs do hit your legs, but that's just too little, isn't it?

>>34902740

Do OHP and chinups instead of incline bench and pulldowns.

Daily reminder that rep ranges don't matter. What's important is volume of weight lifted.
In terms of both strength and hypertrophy, lifting:
100kg x 3 x 3
is the same as:
60kg x 5 x 3
which is the same as:
37.5kg x 8 x 3.

Routines that are split between 'strength' and 'hypertrophy' are retarded, and should be abandoned or updated to reflect current scientific literature.

Daily reminder that they simply had no reliable way of measuring hypertrophy, hence why the results were the same regardless of what they did. More sets, less sets, more reps, less reps, the results were literally the same.

So there are two conclusions:
- The tests could not measure hypertrophy accurately
- You can do whatever the fuck you want or follow a well known routine and the results will be the same

You can choose which one you wanna believe in.
I'll stick to the empirical evidence until they can provide a reliable study.

Upright rows are the most meme exercise and ruin your ability to properly preform the power clean as you learn the worst motor patterns.

Also they literally can't replace face pulls.

I also don't do the rows because my pull-up bar is too high, and replace them with curls

Can do all of it from home, reason I started body weight was because my old gym was a pain to get to, but I should live near a gym in half a year or so, so then I'll start lifting

I'm also weak as shit so I figure I have more to gain from body weight than someone else, even if lifting would be ideal

My last reps were:

6x185 DL (222kg)
3x70 OHP(77kg)
1x100 Bench Press
5X90 Squat

I had some knee issues (this is now resolved) but I remember squatting 1x140 before I stopped squatting.

lifting for 2,5-3 years now (natty ofc)

weight is now 120 kg
length is now 195 cm

I need to lose weight but I dont want to be to slim. Maybe 10 kg would be fine so im starting to eat little bit less and cleaner. I lost 2 kg in 3 weeks so its going ok.

Goals are to become stronger and a little bit bigger. Cant grow to big because of work. (Im crammed in a small working area of 4m^2 with a colleague)

5/3/1 is terrible. There's way better programs such as greyskull lp, Juggernaught, gzcl, and what in doing (DuP)

531 has snail like progress speed and the volume is ridiculously low Switching to something like gzcl, dup, juggernaught, etc is a lot more volume. This increase in volume will give you the strength and body comp changes you want. There's a ton of high volume programs out there, you can google them. But of you've never done one I suggest you switch for atleast a 2 month cycle

>>34908864
okay and you do squat/press/whatever every day right? You don't alternate the main movement correct?

>>34908878
I'm such a fucking idiot I forgot to say that my program is Madcow except I replaced rows with pull-ups due to injury.

I bench twice a week, press once a week, it never alternates.

I'm basically asking if my assistance choice is okay. I'm lacking mass in my chest and my bench has suffered because of it, I've been doing dumbbell bench the past few months while on 5/3/1 and the only lift that increased on that awful program was my bench... So I'm fond of dumbbell bench now as my bench had stalled hard beforehand.

Thnx brah I will look into it. I thought 5/3/1 was pretty good but I will follow you advice

>>34908903
Assistance work is exactly what it sounds like assistance to a main lift. Your not dumb but people tend to forget this. So let's say your program has you going

Squat
bench
Pulls ups
assistance work

So let's just say you have 3 days like that (1 will have deadlifts obciously) Your assistance work can't interfere with main lifting otherwise you don't get what you desired out of the program. Why am I rambling? Because you can do WAYYYYY more assistance work. You said you lack chest mass and your bench has suffered because of it. No it hasnt, that's a lie. BUT you may have weak pecs that are underutilized, aka not active durring your bench. SO what you should do is some flies. It's the main purpose of the pectoral muscle, pressing is for triceps. Look at a dumbell bench, it goes out wide at the bottom and you bring it IN towards the top! That'd what your chest is supposed to do. Adding flies, incline and regular will help so much.

NEXT You are doing absolute dick for hips, glutes and hamstrings. Flute bridges, hip thrusters, ghrs Do em.

So your program might look like thia

Squat
bench
pull up
Flies
Hipto thrusters
Rear delt raise
core work (IMPORTANT)

rep ranges are your to play arund with 3-5 sets x 5-12 reps. Switch it up. Be smart with exercise choices. Volume is key.


>>34908939
5/3/1 was like a forest fire. It caught on so quick and so many people did it but every natty lifter always says 5/3/1 is garbage. You don't have to mimic my program choices, you can google your own. But a hugh volume phase sounds like what the doc ordered

>>34908939
Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 is pretty good routine...
see: https://youtu.be/VjIoUpOI1nc?t=420

>>34908965
I agree completely with the lack of lowerbody work, it's definitely a WIP but I wasn't sure how much was too much.
Another thing thing, I've been told a few times never to work the core before heavy squats / deadlifts squats are 3x a week so I thought Friday was the most suitable day for core work. Wednesday has deadlifts so I can't do it Monday and Friday is where you add more weight so I can't do it Wednesday.

Volume wise it's still 100 reps a week, so maybe that's enough? Maybe I could get away with some weighted planks on Monday.

Thanks for the help none the less!

>>34908993
Alan thrall has been lifting for like 10 years and can only squat like 200kg MAX.
He's weak as shit.

>>34909003
core work should be done at the end of every workout.

Total volume varries. I do 100 reps of squats in almost 1 day lol. But for accesories your individual volume tolerance will varry. Most of my accesories are around 5 sets, maybe 4, and 6-10 reps, so that's 30-50 reps on just you exercise. I really feel people are so affraid of over training that they under train

You know that upright rows are universally acknowledged as the shittiest exercise, right? It's literally with that movement that you guarantee shoulder impingement.

One of the ways to test for shoulder impingement is to have the patient's arm in the upright row position and push their wrist down... which is literally what the upright row does.

Besides, it doesn't train the same muscle groups as the facepull.
If you don't like facepulls do rear delt flys.

>>34907774

One set of DLs is more than enough unless you're directly training with a powerlifting or strength routine (and Phul is not that).
If you wanna do high volume, then do romanian DLs instead.

>>34907743

SS for 3-4 months and then PPL.

>>34908050

Pullups are better than rows anyways.
Do closegrip though. There's no point in doing widegrip, it just shortens the ROM for the lats making it a worse exercise than closegrip.
The rest looks good. I'd do a few sets of curls and lateral raises but that's for aesthetics only.
What's your goal with the facepulls?

>>34905154

My battery is almost over so I'll try to be brief.
Decline bench is useless, shrugs aren't the best for the traps, deadlifts are mainly a hip extensors exercise, doing it right before leg day is gonna make it very hard to progress on the squats. It needs a day in between them, or move them to the same day.

>Greyskull

>still thinking hes doing the program
kek

>>34909323
I can only lift 3 days a week as well. Full time school, work and my personal life are far more demanding.

531 boring but big is well...boring. And garbage.

Volume is too low. Progress is too slow. There is absolutely no reason why a natty lifter should ever do this program. I don't even think people on gear should either. The /5/3/1 phases are pointless and push you towards prs at a snails pace.

I recommend INVERTED JUGGERNAUT. You flip the sets and reps of regular jugg and rest specific amounts of time. It's a very high volume program, and you make prs based off your own progress. So when I hit my 305 axle deadlift for 27 reps, I adjusted my next phase accordingly. This way you are not handicapped by a program and not pushed foward too fast The volume is high enough to not only make you ridiculously strong, conditioned, and it made my triceps explode from all the benching (I replaced bench with ohp)

If you need any resources on juggernaut or inverted juggernaut let me know.

Another program I recomend is gzcl because it's INSANELY customizable and it really works wonders

>>34909476

This needs some work.

Just stick to barbell bench press. Cut the accessory work in half. You should not have twice as many accessory movements as primary compounds.

I would recommend sticking with rows/chins and dips/curls alternating. Or just stop being an individual and do Phrak's.

>>34909631
I agree with switching the bench to barbell and removing at least the lat raises, but is there anything wrong with keeping shrugs, calf raises and ab work? Those aren't muscle groups that get hit significantly by the primary exercises.

>>34909599
Looking at those programs they seem more guidelines than programs, so could you give me an example of them for example, or a webpage/pdf that describes them well?

Nah, I'm sure you're right and everyone else is just dumb.

>>34910100
Ok so I took a look at both of them, and have some questions,

>Inverted Juggernaut
So each phase lasts about 3 weeks (4 if 3 times a week) correct. Doesn't this mean progression is identical to 5/3/1, as you increase your max then or am I missing something?
Also do you feel that the lack of handling heavy weights for over a month affects your strength?
>GZCL
Same progression question as for jugg.

How do these programs improve on 5/3/1 and what is your experience with them.

Sorry for taking so long got distracted and my phone is banned for some reason.

i prefer high volume workouts that takes around 1,5-2 hours. i just enjoy them more. easiest way to achieve this is doing a full blown brosplit. but i don't like hitting each muscle group once a week.

so i was thinking PPLPPLx kind of routine. would it work out with such volume? like 10 exercise each day? and could i recover from it? i'm also on a cut.

>>34912740
>would it work out with such volume

I doubt it, you maniac

>>34912754
so, should i keep doing brosplit?

well, i don't like to call mine a brosplit. I do all important compounds, i squat, deadlift etc.

but in deep down in my hearth, i feel the need to work my muscles 2x a week...

>>34912774
Just do PPLPPLx or PPLxPPL but with like 5~ exercises or so, there's no need for such high volume

A dumbbell set going up to reasonable numbers for significant mass is far more expensive than the equivalent weight on a barbell and rack.

If you can't afford a gym membership, get a job. Do gymnastic calisthenics progressions until you can.

You base your pr based off that wave, so let's say your on 5's wave and you get 10 reps, you then will increase you next phase training max. I think it's 5lbs for every 2 reps over the phase number, so 10 durring a 5s phase will be a 10lb incease to your training max for next phase. But let's say its 3 reps you get, well then you'd repeat the phase.

It's better progression than 531 and the reduce rest times force you to improve work capacity and strength. Your legs will explode from squat volume btw

GZCL
Progression is different based on set uo alone. The pyramid set up in gzcl is higher volume and is overall a better set up than 531

>>34914341
The idea of not handling heavy weight is difficult. That's where you have to peak properly. Take one week to reduce volume, and increase intensity. That's for another cono

Now as far as a sample gzcl program I'll see if I still have mine

Completing all four stages takes ~3-4 months?

i dont get the big fuss over 1 peak set of deadlifts?
doing a 4x6 followed by 6x3 every minute on the minute with maybe some deficits afterwards will skyrocket your gains. Fuck one set of deadlifts

OHP 57,5 5X5
Deadlift 160 1x5

So what should i switch too, upper/lower, p/p/l or 5/3/1 or something different?

>>34917991
depends on your time and goals, you can go with a split or either pick up some other strength routine...

>>34918001
My goals are to cut bodyfat fast

>>34918015
caloric deficit and routine you enjoy thats it then, also cardio on off days
or you can always do DNP

>>34909207
To make the best use of your time, you should do Starting Strength until you're no longer a novice; that is, it's no longer possible for you to make any gains on an exercise with two days of rest and an alternate but related exercise between them.
The specific numbers you get to when you reach that point has to do with your lean mass and your recovery capacity, but most healthy males of average or greater lean mass should be able to hit those numbers.

>>34909242
I don't think the basic pattern is bad, but some of the rep range and exercise choices seem a little odd.

I'm always leery of overhead press and bench press on the same day. Maybe alternate them each week, with one for power and one for hypertrophy?

I really think 3x8 is a minimum for worthwhile weighted pull-ups.

Two sets of deadlifts is usually a bad idea.

Leg press shit tier.

More minor crits:

Lunges? Better exercises hit the same muscles. Go heavier on front squats or something.

Lying triceps extensions are better than tricep pushdowns.

I prefer facepulls to bent over flyes, but that's more preference.

>>34914651
>Why i fee hungry after workingout?
Food is fuel for the body. You have just used a lot of fuel.

>should i eat or endure the urge?
Eat big.
Unless you're fat, in which case, you should down a protein shake (their best use: diet aid).

HEY FAMStbh I was thinking of doing ss but adding lateral raises,something for rear shoulders,pullups dips.and maybe hammer curls and tricep extensions.Will this be over training.It's just that just doing SS on its own means your legs will get big and other that that and your core so you'll look DYEL(let alone look like you've made any progress) after 6-7 months.So I figure add some assistance and you'll have balanced proportions

>>34916755
yeah about 3 or 4 months and that excel sheet is awesome wtf I was looking everywhere for something like this

I must add with inverted it is meant to be supplementary. Meaning it isn't so taxing that it in itself will be a very hard program. It has plenty in place for recovery. I did 3 days, ohp instead of bench, and my 4th day was strongman work (3 hour of strongman exclusive work) and I was able to recover. I bring this up so you know you can still add plenty of accesories or do some days of gpp if you wanted (I did gpp ontop of strongman making a 5 day program and was fine)

Hope your still checking this and you'll love Inverted

Hey, a question to strongtoast. A month ago I posted in some routine general thread and you gave me the routine below. I've been doing it for 3 weeks now, and I'm progressing ok (I know, it's 3 weeks, short time but yeah) but I don't feel that tired after doing it. I feel it as if it isn't enough or that I don't push myself hardly enough, the pump isn't there (except for arms). Why? needs some modifications or I'm just a retard

Day 1: Bench focus
Bench Press 3x5

Main lift you can flip so is 5x3 let's say and you can go heavier

Most programing I suggest will leave you going "that's all?" because I don't believe in absolutely killing yourself in the gym, it's pointless. And of your progressing, that's the key. So flip the sets and reps on the main movement, watch down time on them. I rest no more then 75 seconds on my big lifts. I hit a 280lbs bench for 6, rested 60 seconds and went again. Increase core work, not just ab work, and youll be fine. I remember helping you lol

>>34918746
I'm a little skeptical about the flipping, I may stay on the 3x5. Sure, I'll do some core workout, thanks for the advice anyway

I modified his existing program. flies arnt dangerous if you arnt an idiot, and extention are kept light for a reason

>>34918794
It's 15 reps either way, 5x3 will just be heavier. But if your seeing progress just keep going

No, that's a stupid meme.
You should do SS until you feel like you're stalling too much. People usually say by the time you do 2 squat deloads it will be around the time you should move on.

Besides, it depends a lot on your height and weight. If you're lighter, you might spend two or so years before reaching 2pl8 bench. And you shouldn't stay on SS for that long.

>>34909242

It looks good overall. I'd change a few things:
Shrugs are kind of a waste of time. They don't build your traps as well as the power clean or the deadlift. I suggest you learn to power clean, and then you can do barbell shrugs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0t_hCzUgvM) if you don't wanna do the full movement. But PC is a great exercise for the legs and hips too, so doing it on the leg day isn't a bad idea.
Leg presses are a meme. Just do lower weight/higher reps front squats.
The 3x6 squats and 2x6 deadlifts are perfect imo.

On tuesday, I'd do 3 sets of OHP and pullups and remove the rows. Remember to do closegrip pullups, it has the longest ROM for the lats. Widegrip is just a worse version of the exercise.
On thursday, I'd take out the press, the shrug and the lunge, add in something for the calves and the power clean (or barbell shrug). That's a lot of volume already. If you still have gas for more volume after all that, you can try onelegged squats like the pistol or shrimp squat. That's because standing on one leg works your hip abductors a LOT (glutes med/min and tfl), more than any other leg exercise.
On friday, I'd do skullcrushers instead of the triceps machine. It has a much longer ROM and it works the long head of the triceps a lot - just make sure you do it right: the bar is not supposed to go to your forehead, it has to go over your head and then further down.
I'd do DB OHP. You're able to open your arms completely and work your lateral delts a lot more than in the barbell OHP. But the lateral raises is a more important exercise for your routine, imo.

Eh, 6/10. There are better PPLs out there.

>>34912740

Lots of people do PPLPPLx and have results, so I think it's no biggie.
Lifting for 2 hours also isn't a problem, lots of people do that.

However, doing all that during a cut is crazy.

>>34912858

That routine looks pretty good.
People say you need a ton of dumbbells but you really don't. Just get dumbbell handles and some plates and you will be able to make as much mass gains as people in the gym (maybe even more, considering the average gym-goer is doing retarded shit).

You don't need a 100kg DB set. 50kg is more than enough. Hell, you might even be able to stick with 30kg for the first few months.
People seem to forget that you tend to lift a lot less weight with DBs than with barbells.

>>34915549

Do hanging leg raises, dragon flags, or crunches instead of sit-ups. Sit-ups is a shit exercise for the abs, it works the hip flexors a lot more.
Do barbell shrugs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0t_hCzUgvM
Do back squats instead of hack/power squats.
The rest looks fine.

>>34916886

You mean skyrocket you into snap city? You are doing high volume of deadlifts, not resting enough, and rushing the sets. That's just a terrible combination.
Unless you're doing your DLs with 50kg, kek. But then that's just retarded.

>>34918281

Looks good overall.
I'd add power cleans. It's the best to train your power generation imo.
Do NOT do upright rows. Besides being useless it is the worst exercise for your shoulder health.
Do crunches instead of sit-ups for the abs. Sit-ups work your hip flexors a lot more than your abs.
Lunges are kind of useless. Do some kind of onelegged squat, like the pistol or shrimp squat. They work your hip abductors (glutes med/min and tlf) a LOT.
I don't like kettlebells but that's just me.
Snatch grip DL is pretty shitty.

>>34919256

>so try it to see if you can too

Definitely would NOT recommend that.
Injuries are something you develop over time. You can feel fine for months until suddenly, bang.
And getting shoulder impingement, rotator cuff injury, or knee problems is no fun.

There are better, safer alternatives for all those exercises.

Dips aren't that bad, though.

You said you are t-rex mode, so having the stuff you wanna focus on - upperbody - before doing leg stuff is beneficial.
This is more of a personal thing, though.

The thing with 8 reps is that it's harder to keep the correct form doing high reps (pic related), and that you can't lift as heavy as you would do with 4-6 reps. And to progress, you wanna lift heavy. It's gonna take you too long to be able to increase the weight without dropping to 6-7 reps.

It's not the end of the world, though, and lots of people like to stick to 8 reps. It's useful once in a while. But I still find 4-6 reps the best rep range for the main lifts

>>34919543

As useless and bad as upright rows, imo. You shouldn't do any exercise that involves that arm and shoulder position.

>>34922314

I'd take the pullups out of A and the dips out of B.
Other than that it looks completely fine. Just make sure you're eating and resting enough.

Day A:
DB Bench 5x6

Tittymachine 3x8
Curls 3x8
Tricep cable pushdowns 3x8

>>34924539
>Im a fatfag trying to become fit

1. Calculate TDEE.
2. Subtract 500 from TDEE. The resulting number is your new daily caloric intake. Never go over it.
3. Do the couch to 5k program (pic related).
4. On top of #3, go for an hour long walk every morning or evening (whichever works for you).

Once finshed with your cut, start SS.

I do an upper lower split. Very simple. Squat followed by cleans one day, the next i do bench 3x5, then paused 2x5, weighted chins 5x5 (60kg weighted), then db or push press, 4 sets, high reps if i' doing dumbbells, 3-5 for push press. then i might do some curls if i can still be fucked. for the next lower i do deadlifts and front squats. do each 2-3 times a week.

why? Bent over row is a much better idea. I find SS lacking in lat work. Fuck that noise.

>>34930927

>why? Bent over row is a much better idea. I find SS lacking in lat work

SS has chinups and weighted chinups...

>to do powercleans

Power cleans will give you big traps and also train your hip extensors. Thinking they don't serve any purpose is stupid.
Yes it's an explosion lift, but the pendlay row is also an explosion lift.

that's literally it. doing chin ups 1.5x a week is not enough by any means. Your back is a huge muscle, why you're told to train it at half the frequency as your legs makes no sense.

Don't you know how to read? Power cleans and SLDL are optional exercises, for people who aren't DYELs and can actually work hard.

>>34930989
yes, but SL has chin ups on top of rows, which brings the freqeuncy of lat work up to scratch. SL literally just has chin ups, power cleans don't count as a lat exercise. you have literally double the lat work on SL.

Who the fuck are you to give advice to people? seriously, i'm just saying what worked for me.

There's people who look better than you and never done anything but machines on the gym.

Something worked for you, but it doesn't mean it's good. Anything can work if you spend the time. But some routines are good and some are trash. SL is trash. SS and Reg Park's are good. Don't recommend trash to people.

The volume and exercise specificity is way to low. Do some extra assistance exercises.

>>34933613
5/3/1 is 3 warm up sets, and 3 work sets. And as far as exercise specificity goes, those are all phenomenal compound movements.

>>34933699
Yes but at one point you will have to do more than only the compound movements or your routine won't be optimal and you will plateau. With more effort, thus by doing some assistance exercises for your main compounds, you will have bigger gainz. Assuming your not a novice ofcourse.

You do know metabolic stress and TUT also come in to play right bud? And as you implied lifting 100kgx 3 x3 is the same as lifting 60kg x 5 x 3 in regard to volume, but then again 60kg wont cause the same metabolic stress and muscle damage as 100 kg.

100% agreed. Lateral raises are way more important than rear delt raises and facepulls.

>>34933140

So what? It's a good routine.

>>34927857

Not a fan of the chest fly machine. Try cable crossovers instead? It's a much better exercise.
And do weighted chinups instead of the pulldown.
Take out the leg extensions and curls and do deadlifts.

For abs you can do hanging leg raises and add weight as needed.

>>34931016

5/10 routine

>>34931160

Try one-arm lat pulldowns. They have the longest ROM for the lats out of any back exercise.

And do hanging leg raises instead of knee raises. Knee raises train your hip flexors a lot more than your abs.

3 sets of diddylifts seem excessive to me, specially considering you're gonna do 4 squat sets right after. I'd lower it to 2 DL and 3 squat.

Other than that it looks great to me.

>>34931469

The shitposting has no limits. The routine is ABCxDxx, learn to read.

>>34933467

I'd lower the deadlift sets to 1 or 2 and take the lunges out.
I'd also do crunches or hanging leg raises as sit-ups don't really work your abs. But I think you gotta do sit-ups as a requirement for the army? If that's the case then do them I guess.

I think 4-6 reps is a lot better on the press, but that's just in case you wanna progress faster. Some people don't really care about it so I guess it depends on what you want.

>>34933548

5/3/1 is a routine for advanced lifters.
Your routine has no volume whatsoever.
I rate it shit/10.

If you're a beginner then do SS instead of that shit.

>>34933944

5/10. Your muscles need 48h of rest each. You're giving them 24h.
Basically wasting time.

Divide the workout into a split and let the muscle groups rest for a day before hitting them again.
Deadlifts are mainly a legs/hips exercise, don't do them on the day after the squats.

>>34934190

4-6 bench press and OHP. Other than that it's okay.

>>34934262
Yeah...no....it isn't a good routine. It's retarded. It's the routine a detail obsessed new gym goer would come up with while eating pizza and watching anime after doing very little research on why certain programs work and the concept of an intermediate level lifter and their ability to train naturally.

Fuck off you self promoting shit. Just do 5/3/1 with good accessories.

You faggot have been crying this for a long time and haven't brought up a single argument besides "it's shit please notice me!"

The routine is solid. I've been doing it and compared to other PPL routines out there (PHUL), it's much much better.

>we've debunked op's shitty routine in 20 diferent threads

No you haven't.

I have read those threads and there were two types of people complaining about PHIR.

One type is the shitposter, you, who just comes in and says stupid shit that makes no sense or complains about stuff that isn't even on the routine. See >>34931469
Then when challenged about the whys, you just say "this has been debunked before!" (even though it hasn't) because you know you have no arguments and the routine is actually pretty good.

The last type is a sad dude who complains about very minor things (like arguing that legs-push-pull is somehow better than pull-push-legs, top kek tbqh) in an attempt to show off that he knows more than the guy who wrote the routine. But he just comes off as desperate for recognition with low effort.
It's also funny because this same dude complains about the routine having 6 sets of main lifts per day, and says that's too much volume.
I kek my ass off everytime he posts.

If you're that guy please post again, you're too funny.

If you're just a shitposter than go off yourself, no one cares about your shitty dyel opinion.

>>34936381
what are your stats senpai?
oh wait, you won't answer because you just began lifting and you're desperately trying to become famous on /fit
if you actually lifted any decent weight you'd knew that shit in op isnt sustainable

i told you in that thread before
you aren't the guy who came up with PHUL
you aren't Layne Norton
you won't gain /fit fame so you can say people are running your routine (and nobody is, you're just samefagging)

Keking at your delusion. I'm not the guy who wrote it, I took it from a thread a few weeks ago when I asked about something better than PHUL.

But see, you keep doing the same thing over and over. Keep saying it's shit and people are stupid,

but you never

ever

make a single argument about why.

Because you know your shitty argument is gonna get laughed at.

Because you know the routine is solid.

You're just too envious of the dude who wrote it.

Mon:
Bench 2x5, 1x5+
Wed:

>>34934438

Lateral delts are a lot bigger and more important to aesthetics than rear delts.
Lateral delts can be a bottleneck on lifts.

Rear delts are pretty minor in every way imo.

>>34934584

That's ok, but I'd do 3x5 instead of 5x5 for better progression.
Remember to add weight on every workout to the barbell lifts. And remember that the skullcrushers are not supposed to go to your forehead, but above your head and further down.

>>34936563

I don't know whether this is good or bad, desu. I think only doing a single workset is kind of a waste.

But this one is kind of dumb
>Add one rep to the 100% workset on the next workout, and then, on the next workout, adjust the weight and drop one rep back. For example, they first day you lift 1x8 @ 8RM, the other day you should do it for one more rep, 1x9 @ 8RM, and then, adjust the weight and drop one rep: 1x8 @ new 8RM

You can't "add a rep" like that. It will take you forever to progress, as an extra rep is often harder than +2kg or more.
Just add weight on every workout.

>The splitting doesn't matter
Don't do deadlifts and squats on consecutive days as both work your legs and hips muscles a lot. Doing them on the same day is fine.
I would also avoid doing rows and chins on the day before deadlifts and vice versa.
Try to be smart with the splitting.

>Bench
>1x8-12 @ 100%
Stick to 4-6 reps on the bench or you will be stuck on a plateau for a long time.

>Deads
>1x2-8 @ 100%
Don't go over 6 reps on deadlifts. It has been studied and your muscles stop firing in a coordinated manner the higher the reps. At 8 reps your muscle coordination is under detriment.
This is usually no biggie, but the deadlift can be a ticket to snap city if you don't take it seriously and be careful.

Besides, it's a strength lift. Doing 8 reps is a waste.

>>34936575
Don't forget the OHP. It can actually be a great help to the bench press as it works the same muscles, but in another priority. It can increase the strength of your bottlenecks.

>>34937022
This "PHUL" shit isn't a good routine for many reasons.

>no true progression (3x5 weighted pull ups for strength but do I keep doing 3x5 until I can't then reset or do I add weight then use double progression, or is it a periodization program like 5/3/1?)
>unsustainable.. no natural lifter could sustain the constant compound lifts for any respectable amount of time and assisted lifters are better spending their time elsewhere
>exercise selection isn't justifiable at all. Unorthodox main lifts are fine, like doing rack pulls instead of Deads for pull or incline instead of flat, but doing deads on a non pull day close to squats and then multiple bench variations in a row with supposedly a focus on strength on them all? It's stupid, and again, unsustainable in any reasonable capacity
>power cleans after anything demanding on the cns, like both back and front squats with a strength focus, is just asking for injury, bad form, and underperformance

There's more, but I'm bored taking the bait. Just get over this routine. It sucks.

>>34936689
No one ever reads the books.

>>34938622

Wait, are you talking about PHUL or PHIR?

>>34893985
Does Greyskull LP with weighted carries 2x and swimming 3x times a week sound alright?
I'm recovering from a posterior labrum tear and I'm trying to work out what I'm going to do next.

>>34938622

I'm sorry but most of your complaints are "I'm dyel and can't handle volume, therefore no one else can handle volume."
That is, if 6 sets of main lifts can even be considered "volume".

The rest of your points are simply there because you haven't read the instructions. There's a rest day between squats and deadlifts, power cleans are optional, the exercise variation is because it's a hypertrophy program not a strength program, etc etc
