So, I'm 6'1 93kg and I'm moving on from SL after 6 months.

IMO ppl is good only if you can hit the gym at least 5 times a week because less than that the frequency you train each group is too small. But the program looks solid, maybe do weighted chins/pullups instead regular chins and pullups. Also pic related is good ppl

Thanks man, but I only have access to dumbbells, barbell, pullup bar, bench, and dip bars.
Why don't you do madcow

Unless you're low bodyfat I suggest a cut first.

your routine is completely absurd. did you learn nothing from doing SL for 6 months?
>>39226867
Id maybe limit it to 5 movements a day and between 16-24 sets, I do it this way to keep my workouts about an hour 6x a week.
Also what I do instead is
>Chest Tris
>Back Biceps
>Legs shoulders
And your back day has too many of the same movements. Keep it simple bro a a 2 vertical rows 2 horizontal rows and a bicep movement is all you really need. Also find a way to put in a DB press. It really helps bench progress and chest development.
Cheers

You won't progress on bench and ohp much if you do heavy sets on the same day
PPL is great, you'll make great gains but you might burn out after a few months (when I feel burned out, I remove a legs day, PPLxPPx or take a half week off PPLxxxx). You'll also wanna alternate and do variations depending on the day (ie. close grip vs. narrow, db vs bb, etc). What I do:
Push: 1st day will be more focused on chest, 2nd day on delts
Bench press (first push day of week)/OHP (second push day) 3x5 try to increase strength
OHP (1st day)/Bench press (2nd day) 3x8-10
Incline press (db, bench or hammer strength machine) 3x8
Flyes 3x8
Lateral raises 3x8
Triceps isolation 3x8
Pull:
Usually warm-up with pull-ups xF and chin-ups xF
Rows 3x5-8 (whatever works for you, I don't like Pendlay, I do Meadows or T-Bar instead)
Cable rows 3x10
Lat pulldowns (1st day close, 2nd narrow) 3x10
Shrugs 3x10
Facepulls (1st)/reverse flyes (2nd day) 3x8
Curls 3x
Hammer curls 3x
Wrist roller 3x
Legs:
Squat 3x5
Deadlift 1x5
Leg press 3x10
Calf raises 3x10
Ab work
2 exercises for ab work (ab wheel, cable crunches, leg raises, planks) every other day
HIIT on bike after lifting session, everyday unless I go running

This is essentially my routine but I do deads on pull day, cant do em the same day as squats because it causes too much pain in my adductors, it's gone after swapping them out, and doing the deads before I do core work gave me back issues, I swapped the tri and bi days too, but I love this setup, cheers breh.
