You wont be able to progress much on your lifts with that routine.

Is there any imbalance in the routine? Would you guys change any of the exercises, or the order of the exercises? Thanks.
>>39602814
Isolation exercises go last. I'd also do deadlifts before anything else, since it takes the biggest toll on the body.
You need leg press or squats for legs. Deadlifts won't cut it.
Finally, I'd add planks for core.
>>39602841
Appreciated.
>>39602543
A
zercher squat 6x10,10,8,5,5,3 going up in weight
push press 6sets same reps as squat
chest supported row 6-10x10-15
farmer's walk 3x60m
B
semi sumo diddly 5x10,8,6,5,5
db bench press 5x12,10,8,8,8
lat pulldown/pull up 6-10x10-15
biceps curl 3-5x10-15
AxBxAxBx etc
zerchers because i feel my quads burn so badly with them, probably because i'm bretty tall (190cm) and have long femurs - back squat is basically a good morning with a squat at the end of the movement
semi sumo - same reason, i used to do regulars but the fucked up my back; regular sumo stance is just weird and uncomfortable and i can basically pull the same weight with semi sumo as i did with regular diddly
i was thinking about adding isolations in the evenings, when i go to the gym to do cardio, doing something like lateral raises, flies, triceps extensions and face pulls
>>39602594
As long as he's increased his work capacity sufficiently, as he eats enough, there's nothing wrong with that routine.
Someone really needs to teach fit how to program past the novice phase.
>>39602814
I'd do all the compounds first before moving onto accessories, since the former is what beginners should focus on.
>>39602543
anyone have experience running GZCL programs? was gonna start j&t2 soon
Thinking about starting pic related. I've been doing an upper lower split for a while and I really like it.
Not sure how to program my progression on the main lifts though so I'm thinking about following 531 for these.
Not sure if I'm doing too much volume for the accessories though, so I might skip the lateral raises.
Do I need to add another chest exercise?
>>39603716
Doesn't look too bad Tbqh, senpai.
>>39603716
If I were you, I'd alternate between pullups and chinups.
>>39603716
I follow an upper/lower myself. I mean I usually just improvise on what I think I need to work most on.
If I feel my shoulders are lacking, I do an extra shoulder exercise on upper body day, same for chest, back etc.
>>39604285
I do canditos upper/lower with strength/control for lower and strength/hypertrophy for upper. He has "optional exercises," at the end of each routine that I just switch up every couple weeks depending on whatever I feel like working extra. It's a really nice addition to a routine so that I don't get tired of doing the same things. Keeps me interested, you know?
What is the best order to do exercises?
>compound / barbell
>dumbbell
>machine
>bodyweight

>>39605085
>chinups before deadlifts
>>39605090
My deadlift is doing quite well whereas my lats suck. Priorities, yeah?
>>39605111
See, your lats are a main stabilizer in your deadlift. They don't actually do any moving but if you use them properly they help keep a neutral spine.
The more you know.
>>39603079
/fit/ is beginners teaching other beginners how to not be beginners.
>>39605121
Hmm, really makes me think.
>>39605121
So are you saying that deadlifting first won't affect my chin-ups?
>>39605143
It may make your chinups a big harder, but you'll be less likely to hurt yourself from having a cat back while deadlifting.
I've been thinking about changing my routine. I've been doing 5/3/1 and making good progress abut long story short coming up i wont be able to do a cycle without interruptions so I'm going to have to do something with a week long cycle like texas method, etc. instead, and I figure I can use it to try some new things out. I dont know if I should be doing texas method or starting strength or what though
I've been lifting for about 3 years, but only about 6 months seriously, the last 3 have been the only consecutive serious months. I've put on like 20 pounds bulking and I'm gonna keep that up so recovery isnt much of an issue.
My numbers are 200 bench, 135 OHP, 315 squat, 350 deads, 185 clean at around 170. I feel like that puts me more into intermediate area, but I could be wrong
any advice?
>>39605143
>>39605177
don't listen to this idiot. I've been doing weighted chin-ups before heavy deads for a while now to no negative results. the notion that your lats will be so burned out that you can't keep your spine neutral is retarted, and shows how little the other dude knows.
The main function of the lats in the deadlift as a stabilizer is to help keep the bar as close to your legs as possible. Back rounding is a result of poor thoracic extension due to mobility or strength, and weaknesses in the spinal erectors.

All dumbbell because he has no flexibility and is incredibly out of shape. Like he's never been in shape, to the point where he doesn't seem to have any concept of how to move his body outside of the two positions he occupies for most of the day. I was all set to get him on one of the basic barbell routines that most of /fit/ starts with, but after a couple sessions running him through the form for the exercises, I'm pretty sure it'd break him.
>>39605654
Thanks!
>>39605832
Thats so shit. its like you threw a bunch of exercises around and took them out of a bag without looking and put them as you took them out, theres no order to it and you should feel ashamed.

Why would you DL right after squat day. Stagger them a little, lol

Fair enough. Hasn't been too detrimental to progress so far, but I'll keep it in mind. Cheers.
