Ive posted my routine a couple of times but got mixed rates. Lets try one more time.
Its basicly GSLP without the AMRAP. And quite a few accessories.
Heres my accessories:
On OHP day: bb curls, lateral raises, facepull and 5x10 seated db ohp (50% of normal ohp)
Bench day: incline flyes, triceps, lat pulldown
On friday front squats on top of low bar squats (50% of working weight)
Is it just retartedly too much? Ive been on GSLP for almost a year but Ive been training on a deficit so only minor gains. Starting my first bulk.
OHP 52kg 3x5
Bench 80kg 3x5
Squat 100kg 3x5
Deadlift 115kg 1x5

>>38424102
I dont know man, it does seem a bit too much volume, ESPECIALLY seeing how you've been on a deficit, and your lifts are pretty low.
After a lot of tinkering I've settled down on this.
incline db because the Bench is the slowest of my lifts, RDL for grip and hammies, facepulls for my kyphosis, dips because dips are awesome and right now V-handle pulldowns, if my ohp starts laggin too much I'll switch
>>
>>38424122
goblet squats
>>
if im cutting on gslp, do i need to lower the volume during the workout?
>>
>>38424185
yes
>>
>>38424122
Usually I do standing tricep extension

>>38424166
Shit I meant to write that every accessorie is 2x12-15
Except db press wich is 5x10
>>
>>38424203
how would I do this, remove 1 set off of each exercise. also, should i be aiming to maintain my strength during a cut or gain strength?

How does this look /fit/? Planning on running it during my next bulk in a couple weeks time. Gonna try a linear progression to get my lifts back to where they were before my cut. Wondering if there's anything missing/needs changed?

Lower A
Squats - 3x5
RDL - 3x8
Lunges - 2x8
Leg Curl - 2x8
Straight Calf Raise - 3x12/Ab Work 3x12 superset

Upper A
Bench - 3x5
Chest Supported Row - 3x8
Incline Bench - 3x8
Lat Pulldown - 2x10
Lateral Raise 2x15/Face Pulls 2x15 superset
Bicep Curls 2x12/Overhead Tricep Ext 2x12 superset

Lower B
Deadlift - 3x5
Leg Press - 3x8
Leg Extensions - 2x12
Leg Curl - 2x12
Seated Calves 3x15/Ab Work 3x15 superset

Upper B
Military Press - 3x5
Pull-ups - 3x8
Flat DB Bench - 3x8
Cable Row - 2x10
Lateral Raise 2x15/Flys 2x15 superset
Bicep Curls 2x15/Tricep Pressdown 2x15 superset
>>
>>38424246
>>38424256
all me.
I would do dips instead of the extensions, it's compound and uses more range of motion.
and also ditch the seated ohp, you already do the lateral raises, you're gonna overtrain
and it would still be a LOT of volume
You cannot gain strength on a cut
You need to choose, either lose strength or eat at a surplus
>>
>>38424386
Okay so the db press is going down the gutter. But theres no dip station at my gym.
And I know I have to eat a surplus. I said in the OP Im starting to bulk.
>>
>>38424463
then do the flies, one accessory to the BP is enough
>>
>>38424516
So my accessories would be:
On OHP day: bb curls, lateral raises, facepull
Bench day: incline flyes, standing one handed skullcrusher, lat pulldown
On friday front squats on top of low bar squats (50% of working weight)
Everything done 2x12

What do you think of 2suns 5/3/1? Looks fun
>>
>>38424298
IMO, there no advantage on doing 80%-90% of the intensity but same volume. Lowering it 70% and doubling the volume would be a wiser choice, so you get a strength day and a hypertrophy day for each exercise; plus, it'll manage the progress better.
>>
What do you think? It's a slightly modified PHUL routine. I am quite happy with my progress overall, both in strength and size, only OHP progress is slower than expected.. Should I add some shoulder exercises?

*Weight vest with 3 lb increments

What does /fit/ think?

Is it balanced?

I'm doing 5/3/1 for my compound lifts.

Bench/OHP days I do weighted chin ups, LTE or tricep pushdowns, hanging leg raises and calf work

Dead/Squat days I do Hanging leg raises, weighted decline crunches, weighted chin ups and calf work

(Calve are really lagging)

Anything else I should be adding? Haven't stalled on any lifts yet, only in my second cycle of 5/3/1 though. Don't care too much about aesthetics, just want to be big and strong.
>>
>>38427084
maybe some glute ham raises on the lower body day, and i prefer curls over direct tricep work

why no squats? i would change one of the days to squats, and do at least 2 sets for each dl/squat. also, inverted rows and pushups are gret but you'll want to move onto dumbbells or barbells as you get stronger

good routine tho otherwise

C:
Bench
chinup
Squat

all 3x5, same progression stuff applies
>>
>>38427341

Thanks for the feedback. Any reason why you think weight vest pushups would need to be traded for bench?

For context, I own a weight vest that will go up to 120 lbs in 3 lb increments.

Right now, pushups are about 150 lbs of resistance at my bodyweight, so the maxed out vest should equal a 270 bench, no?

hey if you have a vest that goes up that high more power to you. eventually you may find benching better for muscular development, thats all.

>>38424354
brah, you are doing your main 4 lifts once a week. I recommend you do the lifts twice to also get the tecnique down. Would you shoot free throws once a week as a pro baller?
>>
>>38427674
given that you do them with the same grip width, no. There's not much difference.
>>
>>38427674

In theory, chin ups stretch the lats more, but pull ups use the lats more.
>>
>>38427683
Got it thanks. You think a PHUL type routine would be better?
>>
>>38427707
So it's just a difference in more bicep or more forearm
>>
>>38427485
Do you set your arms the exact same place every time?
Are your hands placed on the exact same place reltive to you torso every single time?
Do you go down and up and the exact same place on every rep?

Just fucking do bench press. Using a bench press will also get you stronger doing push ups, but push ups have a limited transference compared to vice versa.

Get strong in bench and you push up will up up. Your program seems like a good strength program so why limit your self?

Also please stop counting your bw when doing push ups as you aren't literally supporting your entire weight on your arms. If you don't believe me, just load up your 270 lb bench and find out.
>>
>>38427547
>>38427563

Thanks. I was reading the assistance section of starting strength and noticed that Rip said push ups use more muscle than bench. He said that weighted pushups would be superior to bench if loading the weight was practicle (he only seemed to consider loading pushups with plates on the back and not vests).

Also, I figure going to one arm eventually would double the max resistance to the equivalent of a 540 bench (one can dream).
>>
>>38427773

My, my, you are rude. My bodyweight is 215 lbs.

Using a scale, the resistance in push up position is around 150 lbs.

Understand?
>>
>>38427784
>going to one arm with a weighted vest
enjoy your fucked shoulders
>equivalent of a 540 bench
you do realize that you aren't pushing 270 pounds when doing pushups right? Is this bait, or do you weigh 600 pounds?
>>
>>38427819

If the scale says 270 lbs in pushup position, it is 270 lbs.
>>
>>38427750
Basically, yes. And >>38427729 describes why you're gonna hear different answers from alot of different people. You can usually use more weight in chin ups, but the pull up is a mechanically harder movement (smaller overall smaller muscles involved, lats in slightly weaker position to pull) but you're gonna excel at the movement you do the most. For lat gains, grip width matters more than whether you do chin/pull ups.

Usually bro's scream "WIDE GRIP FOR MORE LATS", but here's 6 time Mr. Olympia champion Dorian Yates opinion on the matter:
https://mobile.twitter.com/Dorian_Yates/status/510534764940783616/photo/1

He was known for his insane lats, but why would he know better than gymbros.
>>
>>38427734

Your program is bretty gud.But to get the technique and movement down, I recommend doing them twice. Doesn't need to be heavy on both days.

Heavy days do your 3x5, light days do you 3x8.

Heavy squats
Light DL

Upper A
Heavy Bench
Light OHP/dumbbell press

Lower B
Heavy DL
Light pause squats, front squats

Upper B
Heavy OHP
Light bench press (maybe paused)

I cannot stress how important it is to get the technique on point. Don't underetimate the effect of low volume to get the groove of a lift ingrained. Hope it helps.
>>
how realistic is it to add 2 pounds a week to lower bdoy lifts and 1 pound a week to upper body lifts (half a pound for ohp) for 1 year (52 weeks) straight?
>>
I did ppl 3 months but I can't lift more than 3 days now. I'm doing this with some accessories for pecs, bicep, triceps and back.

Do you think its OK if I do bench press and Ohp every workout?
>>
>>38427947
If you're new, adding that little per week is actually way below what you can do with a good program and nutrition.

>>38427957
It depends on how you do it, but in most cases no.
>>
>>38427947

Depends on the starting point.

If you start with the bar (45 lbs), then it is easily doable.

Othetwise, it just depends...
>>
>>38427874
Makes sense, thanks. For the DL day would it be ok to just do front squats or should I be doing back squats again? My goals are aesthetics btw.
>>
>>38427177
For option 4, are they are sets of 2 reps? Like is the third one down in the 4th column 8 sets of 2 reps? The routine looks good btw, greg nuckols knows his stuff
>>
>>38424102
>Its basicly GSLP without the AMRAP.

Erm, I believe the AMRAP part is kinda the whole point of GSLP. It makes you deload and have a higher rep/lower weight day when you fail at a certain weight.
>>
>>38428116
what's next idiot, you need to microload the presses too? get out
>>
>>38428116
once you start moving the max weight you can you dont do amrap.
Amrap is really good on deloads I agree
>>
>>38428245
It blows my mind that people refuse to incorporate pump sets into their "strength" programs.
>>
>>38428245
that's the entire point of the amrap sets, extra work during deloads
>>
>>38428033
You can alternate. Most important is to just getting to squat twice. FS or BS will help with both strength gains and aesthetics.
>>
>>38428016
say from a 215 bench, 330 squat, 385 dl and 135 press 1 rep max for all
>>
>>38428245
This. I'm a noob, kinda - I used to work out years ago and did lots of sport as a teen. So some noob gainz combined with muscle memory mean that I make pretty great progress, and I even if I increase with more than what the program has you do (5lbs&2.5lbs) I will still inevitably have a rep or thee left in the tank after that 5th rep on the last set - I need that AMRAP. At some point the super-noob gainz are gonna stop and it just turns into a regular ol' 3x5. But thanx to AMRAP I'll get there faster though.
>>
>>38428041
yes it is reps x sets protocol. in progression notes he wrote to start with option 4.
>>
>>38424102
I'm getting a friend to hop onto the program outlined in the picture, I just had a question about dumbbell exercises and upper body progression in general.

None of the local gyms have 1.25 lb plates, so is progressing 5 lbs every other time an exercise is performed an ok way around this?

I was also wondering how he should progress in the weight of the dumbbells since each increment is 5 lbs per hand. I figure since thee are essentially exercises designed for a pump that weight progression isn't all that vital but it shouldn't be ignored.

Would mixing the hypertrophy and strength program on Candito's Linear Progression be a bad idea? Thinking about going control on lower and hypertrophy on upper
>>
Hows this:
5 day split senpai
Monday: Chest/Biceps

4 sets of Incline Dumbbell Press, 8-15 reps
3 sets of Bench Press, 8-10 reps
3 sets of Incline Flies, 8-10 reps
3 sets of Chest Dips until failure
3 sets of Barbell Curls, 8-10 reps
3 sets of Preacher Curls, 8-10 reps, then drop the weight to half, and push out another 8
(Do bench press first)
Tuesday: Legs/Calves

4 sets of Squats 8-10 reps
3 sets of Leg Press 8-20 reps
3 sets of Leg Extensions till failure
3 sets of Leg Curls 8-15reps
Calves are self explanatory, just use some of the machines till failure, a lot of reps, feel the burn.

Wednesday: Back

3 sets of Lat Pulldowns 8-10 reps
4 sets of Deadlifts 8 reps
3 sets of long bar Rows 8-15reps
3 sets of barbell Rows 8-10 reps
3 sets of Hyperextensions 8-10 reps
(Deadlifts done first)
Thursday: Shoulders/Triceps

3 sets of bench , go for same weight and reps as Monday at least
4 sets of Shoulder Press, alternate with Barbell & Dumbell every week 8-15 reps
3 sets of Upright Rows supersetted with Lateral Raises 8-15 reps
3 sets of front raises 8-15reps
3 sets of Lying Rear Delt Raises 8-10 reps
4 sets of Pulldowns 8-15reps
3 sets of Skullcrushers 8-15 reps
Saturday: Full Body (strength)

3 sets of Deadlifts 8 reps
3 sets of Squats 8 reps
3 sets of Leg extensions 10-15 reps (light weight)
I followed this while bulking. Focus on compounds and try to add 2 reps to each accessory exercise each session until you can do 15 reps with that weight. Next session, increase the weight and drop the reps back down to 8
Lower the volume if you're cutting. You might have to adjust the volume to what you can handle too if you're bulking

I did around 60-65 %. Not a lot of intensity but that is not the purpose. Since the 5x8 can easily make you fatigued and affect monday, lower the intensity. I know it says hypertrophy but these high rep days are also a great day for you to improve technique since you are doing light weight. You are NOT trying to set pr's on hypertrophy days. Go light, go trough the motion, keep rest time somewhat timed and improve your form.

will maybe work for mass/size training but do nothing for strength. and in my own experience, strength = size. good size too not clunky powerlifter shit. best mass gains i ever made was (extremely surprisingly) during Dan John and Pavel Tsatouline's Easy Strength.

pic related is my routine, ss for superset v for volume (3x12+), evrything else is midranged accesory reprange (3x10 or 4x8), it looks weird but i tried to get a split while still hitting evrything twice a week, and my lats recover extremly fast. if it may look disproportionate, my muscles are really imbalanced so dont wonder when i do little leg volume for example

I'm joining a gym tonight, wanted to see what you guys think about my routing. I'm a semi beginner. I know a lot of theory but I haven't lifted weights in years, so I'm kind of starting out. While starting, I plan on going for 12-15 reps for at least the first 2-3 weeks, so my muscles can start getting used to this new regiment. Then I'll probably shoot for 5-8.

Day A
Squats
Bench Press
Military Press
Dips

Day B
Deadlifts (with shrug and tiptoe)
Abs
Pull Ups
Bent over Rows

Monday and Wednesday I will do cardio (first month I'll do 1 mile, then I'll start shooting for 2)
Lifting will be done Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday with A B A, B A B, format.

Thoughts?
>>
>>38439064
Your muscles dont need an adjustment period, and if you decide they do then only do it for the first cycle. Just go straight for the 5-8 stuff.

I dont think pplul differ a lot from ppl, but ur upper body wont be recovered from your second day when you do upper day. And even though thats rather genetic, no natty being can do 2 leg days so short after each other. I think ppl is way more fitting ESPECIALLY if ur natty and not too advanced

That's a fucking retarded routine.

There's no progression to harder exercises, you're literally just building endurance.

If strength or muscle size is your goal this routine is dumb.

>timing rests
shit is totally pointless and is going to make you have shit results since there's no way you can do any decent weight on sets with 1 minute rest. It's something retarded PTs add in so their clients sweat more and they think they're working harder.

If you're an athlete who's trying to build some form of muscular endurance it may have a place, but it's fucking stupid to do it on everything. Do it on light isolation at most.

You also have zero form of actual progression, do you plan to go to the gym every week and do the same shit? You're not going to progress well then.

Going to try this version of texas method that I wrote up starting next week. My goal is to progress slightly faster than I was on 5/3/1 while slightly increasing upper body workload. Looking for suggestions on a replacement for flat DB bench press, I'm considering dips and decline DB press but I hate both movements. It seems like the smarter decision would be to replace regular flies with decline flies.

>>38447036
5x10 is dumb, takes too much time with long rests, doesn't give most people good gains with short rests. I'd also say that prioritising OHP over bench is dumb unless that's your specific training goal.

>>38447145
I'd swap db press and bench press and switch around the sets, unless your goal for db press is to warm up for the bench

>>38445475
Neither routine has sufficient horizontal pulling, unless your goal is to gain some weight for football do Candito's beginner program. It's a better bodybuilding and powerlifting program.
>>
>>38446608
Then you'd be doing a shittier version of lyle mcdonald's generic bulking routine.

http://jcdfitness.com/wp-content/download/Lyle_McDonald_Generic_Bulking_Routine_FAQ.pdf

>A
Squat
OHP
Chinups

Rear Delts
Ab Work

>B
Deadlift
Bench
Rows
DB Press
Biceps
Ab Work

>C
Front Squat
Incline Bench
Romanian Deadlift
DB Row
Triceps
Ab Work

Git strong and swole. Progress is fairly self-regulating; if I can't add more raw weight onto a compound lift I'll lower intensity and drive out as much volume as I can handle for a while.

As much as I enjoyed the Texas Method style of training I much prefer exercise variations.
>>
>>38441445
Nice picture. Unfortunately in the real world you're going to need more than 6 sets a week for the big muscle groups if your goal is hypertrophy.
>>
>>38447266
That's rep ranges, not sets.
>>
>>38447269
I know, I'm talking specifically about the grey skull lp routine and that it's a waste of time if you want hypertrophy
>>
>>38447365
Greyskull base is 9 sets/week of pressing movements, 6 sets of squats and 1 set of deads.

You're supposed to add assistance work to make up the other missing one third volume, but even if you just did phrak's you'd gain muscle as a noob.
>>
double bump
>>
>>38448087
But why
>>
>>38441269
Don't do ab wheel you'll fuck up your lower back.

Hanging leg raise, russian twists with a plate/medicine ball and paused front squats will murder your abs.

>>38448516
Looks pretty much like PHUL to me so go for it.
>>
>>38448516

>>
>>38448604
You can add hanging leg raises to the end of day 2 and 4. Maybe throw in some plank variations and russian twists for some variation if you don't want to do just hanging leg raises.

Paused front squats hits the abs like crazy too. Just don't forget to balance out the ab work with some lower back work like hyperextensions.

>>
>>38448610
I'd do trap bar or jefferson deadlift instead of sumo. And I'd do dips and press every workout instead of alternating, that way you can do a second pulling movement and bump your upper body frequency to 3 times a week for every major muscle. It's one more exercise per day but consistent with what you want to achieve and will create a better physique.
>>
>>38448792
Probably a good idea. With all those deadlifts and the Chinups, I'm probably not doing enough for the front compared to the back.
>>
>>38448911
Actually my concern is that your quads aren't getting any work and your chest/biceps/lats are getting worked once per AB cycle while your traps/delts/hamstrings are being worked every time you go to the gym. Kinda silly if you want to be balanced and healthy. I definitely recommend trap bar over jefferson deadlift but it's fine if you don't have the equipment.

Paused Floor Press + Pendlay 5-8*3 (ramping in v.small increments)

Floor press cycles as above, pendlays always in 3s

Workout A:

Squats 3x5
Deadlifts 3x5
OHP 3x5
Pendlay Rows 3x5

Day B
Squat 3x5
Cleans 3x5
Bench Press 3x5
Pull ups/Dips 3xF

I've only recently started and I'm still at babby weights, is it ok to keep the rows as accessories to day A when I move on to bigger weights?
>>
>>38452007
Absolutely, and I'd advise you to raise the volume of rows higher still as you get stronger. More volume = stronk
>>
>>38452007
Here's what I remember from trying to have rows, dl, pc and pull/chin ups in a fullbody strength routine like this:
>Rows
>PCs
>DLs
>Chin/Pull Ups

Pick two and only two as a main lift.

What i tried to run:
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
PC 5x3
Chins 2x5-8

Squat 3x5(@75%)
Rows 3x5
OHP 3x5
DL 1x5

This started to take its toll as i felt my lats and traps starting to cramp up after 2 weeks. I'd recommend doing Yates rows for 2x5-8 on DL day and Chin Ups for 2x5-8 on PC day and treat rows/chins as accessories if you still want to try doing all four of them. However in my experience the back volume just got too high trying to do all four of them on an A/B alternating schedule.

Help me /fit/. I have no idea what I'm doing. I've lost 120lbs by doing cardio only over the last year and I've recently started lifting. I started two months ago and couldn't bench 75lbs. I can now max at 150, but don't have a spotter or anyone to go to the gym with.

I'm trying to tighten my loose skin and get my max up with out killing myself. Pic is my current routine. I do this 3x a week taking a day between lift days to only do cardio.

why the fuck don't you read the fucking sticky

What kind of guidance are you after?

>>38452379
Is my workout going to improve my max lift and help me tighten my loose skin/bulk? When should I add more weight?
>>
>>38452367
I'm sorry I thought this was a gen thread...
>>
>>38452341
read the sticky. it advises a few decent programs. some things that everyone will tell you:
drop the machines. don't ask why, just don't touch machines. please.
start squats and deadlifts ASAP. you'll end up disproportionate as hell if you don't do legs.
In fact, compound lifts and freeweights are much better than machines in general. again, take a look at the sticky (again, THOROUGHLY if you already read it)
the running is okay, but make there's not too much stress on your joints due to obesity. I assume there's not, because of how long you've been running, but it's better safe than sorry.

The sticky answers those questions. You show an utter lack of knowledge about how lifting works. Go read the sticky.
>>
>>38452415
it is, but what you have there isn't really a routine proper. it's just exercises clusterfucked together. take a look at the S T I C K Y

I've stalled on this program for the majority of my lifts. Is there any way I can continue to make gains just by changing the weight percentages, sets, or reps without having to scrap the entire program? What do?
>>
>>38454405
Do madcow or Texas Method

>Neither routine has sufficient horizontal pulling
I add BB Rows and T-Bar Rows (alternating) as a Greyskull accessory. Problem solved.

So maybe a weird question but does anyone know of any good old-school bodybuilding routines? I'm talking really old school, before the Golden Age, like before they even had steroids. I figure it's the best way to find a routine that 100% works for someone who's natty.

But some of those I found like that of Sandow are just too old, and don't even have Bench Presses. So something from that Goldilocks zone of after Bench Press but before roids?

I have the time and motivation to lift more than 3 times a week. I'm still a beginner, but I've got all my forms down. Is there a good program that doesn't require 4 rest days?
>>
>>38458804
Depends on your goals. You can train more than 3 times a week but you won't really benefit all that much from it since you won't be able to train certain lifts as often, and when the weight starts getting very heavy, recovery will be difficult training that often. As a novice, you'll be better off using those days off on preparing good food and making sure you get enough sleep. On a novice linear progression program, the gains will come very quickly.
>>
>>38456701

You don't need both dips and bench press. Choose the one you like more and drop the other.
>>
>>38458840
What if I did an upper lower split xABxABx? Would that be a happy medium?
>>
>>38458804

You could do a lower/upper split version of starting strength:

ABxACxx

A = Squats
B = Overhead Press & Deadlift
C = Bench Press & Deadlift

Or maybe go crazy and have only one rest day by doing one exercise each day in the SS order:

ABCADCx

A = Squats
B = Overhead Press
C = Deadlift
D = Bench Press
>>
>>38456701
You dont need to do rows and pullups on the same day. You are still a novice, gains come from workout to workout. Chins give you bis and are easier for a novice than pullups. Close grip bp is a good alternative for building tris and have the best carryover to regular bench compared to the other exercises.

A: sq bp dl crls
B: sq ohp chinups hyper cgbp

Whoever that Sean is, he doesn't know a lot about programming.

Friday
Front squat 3x5
Bench Press: 2 x 5, 1 x 5+
Pendlay row 3x5
Incline flyes
Tricep extension Variant: 2 x 10-12
>>
>>38461166
Actually Im dropping the extensions.
>>
>>38461166
imo just too much different big lifts. Stick to just one squat variation and alternate Mon and Wed routine.

Example:
A)
Back Squat 3x5
BP 2x5, 1x5+
Pendlay 3x5
Flies 2x10-12
Rear Delt Flies 2x10-12

B)
Deadlift 1x5
Press 2x5, 1x5+
Chins 2x6-8
Laterals 2x10-12
Curls 2x10-12

Another trick to get more pressing volume without adding additional exercises (and get more training of the movement) is to do:
BP 3x5, 1x8@70%
OHP 3x5, 1x8@70%
You can't do this with the amrap tho, maybe do the amrap version after a deload and stick to the 1x8 backoff set when you're progressing to new weights.
>>
>>38462122
Except my workout isnt AB its ABC.
Squats are always on mon and fri deadlift on wen. So its easy to alternate the squats. I want to alternate because I want the benefits of both squats. Low bar for ass and posterior chain fronts for quads and core.
