Can we get a thread to give feedback on routines? Here's mine, 3x a week:
A:
Flat Bench 5x5
Cable Row 5x5
Back Extensions 5x5
Planks
B:
DB seated shoulder press 5x5
Chin ups 3x8
Bulgarian Split Squat 5x5
Planks
Any advice? I'm starting again after a disc injury a few years ago; I can't do stuff that compresses the spine lack back squats or barbell OHP unfortunately.

>Can we get a thread to give feedback on routines?
Not without knowing your goals, no.
If you're trying to build all round physique or strength then you're missing deadlift and squats for quads (bulgarian is more hams). There's also no reason to do planks and no weighted ab work if you're new.
Your routine makes a little more sense for a girl focusing on fixing shitty posture but otherwise is heavily lacking.
Why do you feel the need to make a shitty routine when there are numerous programs that are available on the internet for free?

It clearly states he is trying to get back into lifting.
Can you even read before you post the /fit/ 'not your personal army' copy pasta
>>40396514
I'm bulking and trying to gain muscle. My original injury was from deadlifting and my hope is that back extensions, chin ups, and cable rows are enough for the back.
What would you recommend to make it less lacking? I can't deadlift or back squat but I still want a substantial routine.
>>40396553
Lots of volume in this ppl, remember your working 6 times a week.
Reduce the volume and cut back on the sets of 5.
My schedule only allows me to work out the following days; anything to add?
Monday: legs
Deadlift 5x3
Front squats 5x10
Calves
Abs
Tuesday: push
Bench 6x3
Incline bench 3x10
OHP 4x6
Triceps
Wedn: pull
Rows 4x6
Pullups 5x10
Biceps
Calves (gotta get em growing)
Thurs: off
Fri: full body
Front squats 6x3
Bench 5x10
Rows 5x10
Romanian deadlifts 5x10
Abs
Lifts at intermediate level
>>40396613
Why should I reduce the volume if I can handle it? Genuinely curious.
Should I just ramp up the intensity then?
>>40396553
>pull
>db flyes
Also why do curls in the middle of everything?
>>40396629
Because it will lead to overtraining, the volume is high as fuck for someone even close to 1/2/3/4.
If your not close then you should be doing a beginner program.
>>40396612
>>40396514
Is it really essential that I at least do front squats? I have really bad mobility and I was hoping I could get away with doing split squats plus leg extensions maybe
ss + gomad
Two questions: do DB flys really help close chest gap (which I desperately need to do), and can anyone recommend a good HIIT routine for off days? So far I've been doing tabata on the erg or kettlebell stuff, and want something more...interesting.
>>40397031
Nothing is going to close a chest gap, short of tearing the pec off and re-attaching it.
>>40397038
go on
>>40396629
Dont if you can handle it, but I would put my money on you hurting yourself
>>40397031
The only thing you can do is make your chest bigger, and flyes are pretty good at that

I think that the most effective rutines are weight routines with good rest.
So i recommend mine:
Be intense, you dont have to rest between exercise 1 and 2, your rest time is 5 seconds or the time from place to place, do it to muscle failure, and remember to sleep 8h for recover the muscle with good protein intake becuase in the sleep is where protein passes to repair muscle.
Reps are orientative, so try to take the wieght that make you muscle failure in 2 less or 2 more reps in the first serie.
Monday
1. Squats: 20 rep
2. Supinal pull ups (using biceps more): + than 6
3. Bench Press: 16 rep.
4. Biceps curl with rotation (dont forget to pull up your arm a bit so you stimulate coreobraquial): 16 rep.
5. Triceps pull up (from back side of neck): 16
then you rest a minute and a half, and then repeat the same exercises to make 3 series, but adding or not weight so you can make 4. 5 or 6 less rep. for example, if you made 20 squats now you make 15 in the next and finally 8-10 (except on body weight exercises, try to make only a bit less.
Wednesday
1. Leg press: 20 rep.
2. Strech back strap (neutral grip): 10 rep.
3. Dips: 15
4.Militar press: 16 rep.
5.Hammer biceps curl (neutral grip): 16 rep
6.Pararell triceps curl: 12 rep.
Remember every serie to muscle failure
Friday
1.Bulgarian squats: 20 rep.
2. Deadlift: 10 rep
3. Push ups: 25 rep.
4. Shoulder pull: 16 rep.
5. Biceps with straight bar: 16 rep.
6. French press: 16 rep.

Post pic and stats
Not reall sure that's the best thread to post this..
I had a bit of hip pain last Squat Day on 5/3/1. So i was thinking of reducing the weight or skip squating completely till it goes away.
How do i go about this. Do BBB Deadlift and just do the missed Squat Day with my normal weight at the end of the week?
>>40400032
I wont post pics becuase im underage (17) but wihout any help (no creatine, no protein powder or sterois) im:
> 177-178 cm (about 5'' 10 if im not wrong)
> 81.1 Kgs (224 Lbs or like that)
> 13-14 % Body fat, i compared with some BD porcentage images and im not more than 14 for sure (i can see vein in bicep without working out and my forearm-arm looks like if i get some steroids after i work out)
And im not that shit teenagers that make photo when they have 2 weeks, im 1 year at gym and started this circuit in the last month and i won 11 kg and lost 3 of fat since september of last year (what probably would be 14kg of muscle becuase i have less body fat and my high testosterone and GH levels from being teenager help me)
>>40400119
Oh and i work out to the pain, i dont stop when it hurst i stop when the muscle can make another rep, with full motion reps.
>>40400119

bro squats are bad for your knees and deadlift is bad for your back, leg press is all you need
you have to do more reps if you want to grow yo hit each bodypart once a week feel a pump bro
>>40400062
anyone?
>>40400062
Here's what I'd do: drastically reduce the weight by like 50% or more and do the normal rep range you're used to. Work your way up from there.
Had abnormal lower back pain after Deadlifts and that's what I did.
>>40400373
Yeah right, that makes sense.
But what about progression? Should i just do the "missed" Squat day at the end of the cycle (or whenever it has healed) or skip it completely?
>>40400407
I'm not very familiar with 5/3/1 but I'd skip any progression whatsoever if I still feel some pain.
Don't risk a ticket to snap city.

I have only done this for three weeks and it's been fine so far. I really got sick of doing programs which put all of your eggs into one basket so to speak, and rely on you having one good heavy session to make a week's worth of gains. I have been benching and squatting 2x a week for a while, but I was ready for something else I guess. Some days I go heavier than others, but it is more similar to the eastern bloc "daily max" idea than actually maxing 3x a week.
I do 20-25 mins of cardio at the start of my workouts. Is this ok or should I stop doing that?
>>40402204
using the energy in the beginning of the workout ok cardio is a bit dumb if you train for strength or hypertrophy where your energy should be put into lifting. Warming up for 5-10 min before is no problem, but I'd do the cardio afterwards and focus my freshness on lifting

>>40396369
All machines with Bench OHP and Squat thrown in
12repx3setx3exercises x 5 day (different muscle group everyday)
Is this a good basis for a powerbuilding routine with emphasis on hypertrophy? Heavy is 3x3-6 reps, Medium is 3x6-9 reps and light being 3x9-12 reps. For the heavy of everything i'll do the big 3 and squats for leg medium also, but what else should i to medium and light for others? Also would it be overkill to add 3x15 abs and 3x8-10 of one isolated arm muscle to the end of each day?
