is working out 3 times a week really enough?

>>36460606
no

>>36460636

whats your recommendation

Depends on what you're doing. And your skill level.

yes for a beginner

>>36460606
it depends on your level of activity the rest of the week (active job/walking around) and your diet.

strength training 3x a week is definitely above the norm

>>36460737
>above the norm
some people actually believe this

>>36460749
the norm is sit on couch 7 days a week so

>>36460749
>normal people train

>>36460606

Like what others have said, its fine for beginners and much more than the average person nowadays considering scoob's program involves body weight training and cardio.

The intermediate program he has goes into a 5 day routine.

yes if natty

>>36460606
Strength training and bodybuilding 3 times a week is the minimum but its enough... 4 is recommended...
If you're a runner than 5x a week is recommended but ideally every day is what you need to be doing with a day off or two a month

>>36460654
8 hour arm workouts

3x a week full-body training promotes the best gains as natty

Do ICF 5x5 but trade 5x5 for 3x5

>>36460606
Yes, 3x/week full-body is best for a natty beginner. Once you can rep 2/3/4 or so, maybe think about moving on to 4x/week upper/lower+accessories (so upper/lower/rest/upper/lower/rest/rest).

Then maybe once you're up to 3/4/5 you can think about doing p/p/l but that's basically only optimal for advanced nattys.

If on gear, p/p/l is probably best or brosplit.

>>36461336
whats the difference between 3x5 and 5x5?

>>36461336
This tbvh familia. 5*5 heavy + accessories is just too much volume. Do the cutting version which is 3*5 for the compounds and 2*10 for the accessories

>>36461538
3 sets instead of 5 sets, silly. Do 5 sets if you want but the volume is pretty damn high and I find I have too much doms for the next workout if I did 5 sets consistently. Do the cutting version^

yeah 25 reps of squats and bench and 5 reps of deadlifts a week is enough to give you great gains

the old school bodybuilders didnt know what they were doing lifting for 2h, 2x a day, 6x a week

>>36461538
you can be even lazier and get even less results
its great

>>36461812
>hurrdurr newbie lifter is lazy

fug off meng

>>36461527
after gains from upper/lower linear start to stagnate switch to a upper/lower periodic

>>36460606
Do full body, then

>>36461812
>you can be even lazier and get even less results
>its great

Kk fat ass

i do full body 3-4 times a week

i prefer doing every other day vs. monday-wed-fri or whatever. one rest day for each muscle group. legit.

>>36462124
>too autistic to spot blatant sarcasm

Wew lad

>>36460749
>the norm is people actually lifting at all
Are you retarded?

>>36462124
What is reading comprehension

>>36460839
Every day for running? Really? My times have gone to shit ever since upping my frequency and intensity. Does your every day plan work around intervals / sprints or 80% max distance running?

What if I run and weight train?

I want to do 3 day a week too hmm i think i am going to give it a try. I do enjoy the pump

>>36464621
My plan is to do long workouts on
Monday Chest and Back
Tuesday Legs
Thursday Shoulders & Arms

>>36464659
BB splits are all but useless for a natty.

monday: chest/ tris
tuesday: shoulders/ abs
thursday: legs
saturday back/ bis

absolute basics, you should be asking if you have to take a day off not if three days is good enough.

monday pop tarts, testicular edging
tuesday rest desu
wednesday anal flexion, general anal care
thursday all day anal widening
friday low residue diet, back squats, sumo deadlift
saturday rest
sunday rest, speed ejaculation

>>36464621
>>36464659
I do that but legs at the end 6 days a week and make good gains natty. Hits everything twice although sometimes i only do legs once

>>3646475
>>36466001
meant to quote you

>>36461527
>Once you can rep 2/3/4
What's that?

>>36466098
2plate bench-225lb bench
3plate squat-315lb squat
4plate deadlift-405lb deadlift

>fullbody is for beginners
>pplmeme routine is better

So hitting every muscle group 156 times a year on a fullbody(3x a week) is worse than doing meme routines (ppl,brosplit) that hit each muscle group 52/104 times a year

Nice logic

>>36461336
>3x a week full-body training promotes the best gains as natty
>Do ICF 5x5 but trade 5x5 for 3x5
Broscience.

As a beginner, 4 days a week is optimal because you wont really stress your nervous system that much. When you get better and start lifting seriously amounts of weight 3 days a week is perfectly enough.

>>36465966
saturday: just screaming

nice broscience lads

workout as much as you fucking can for optimal gains

>>36464594
Its over then, my anime friend

>>36461784

this lad knows what's up

>>36466356
>Eating: any kind of fox i can find and catch

>>36460606
That depends on your goals.

>>36464594
Don't. My brother died that way.

yes
now leave this board forever before you start taking roids and believing broscience

>>36460654

Six days a week.

>>36461538

Two warmup sets

>>36461527

I thought UL and PPLs were for intermediates? I can only squat 2pl8 1RM but I've stopped making weekly progress so I switched.
