whats a lateral fly?

>>40920728
Shoulder side raises

>>40920741
dafuq there called lateral flys? they don't involve the lats at all.

I always called them chicken flap flys

>>40920754
Well, they're still called lateral Flys for some reason. Probably because you raise your lats

>>40920754
Lateral means sideways you dumb fuck.

Here's my routine more or less please tell me if it's retarded and how I can improve it. I don't actually know anything about programming

I'm doing 5/3/1 so it's a 4 day split and it goes like this.

(I do a little upper body stuff on the lower body days because my upper body is a little weaker than my lower body and I don't want to become t rex mode)

>Deadlift day

5/3/1 deadlifts
5x10 deadlifts (boring but big)
Leg curls 5x12-15
Calf raises 5x20-25
OHP 5x8-12
Rows (whatever type I feel like) 5x8-12

>Bench day

5/3/1 bench
5x10 incline bench
5x12-15 chest flys
5x8-12 rows
5x8-12 lat pulldown
5x12-15 facepulls
5x8-12 curls
5x12-15 triceps (push downs, or whatever I feel like doing)

>OHP day

5/3/1 OHP
5x10 seated OHP
5x12-15 lateral raises
5x8-12 rows
5x8-12 lat pulldown
5x12-15 facepulls
5x8-12 curls
5x12-15 triceps (push downs, or whatever I feel like doing)

(pretty much do the same pulling routine on both upper body days)

>Squat day

5/3/1 squats
5x10-12 leg press, or 5x10 squats if I feel really good that day but damn
Leg curls 5x12-15
Calf raises 5x20-25
Incline bench 5x8-12
Rows (whatever type I feel like) 5x8-12

If this is completely retarded, I apologize for my retardation.

>>40920990
It kinda seems retarded because it looks like you are never resting

>>40920990
It seems an insane volume for not knowing anything about programming.

I've been looking for a way to put up a full body 3day routine with 531 progression myself. I just don't like splitting shit up.

>back/ham
chinup 4x8 (just to warm up the back)
deficit stiff leg deadlifts 2x6-8, 2x10
kroc rows 1-2xf

>>40921018
My rest days are Wednesday and Saturday/Sunday. I would actually go 5 days a week but I've tried that and did it for a while but I ended up getting burned out, mostly because I get tired of driving to the gym constantly. 4 days a week is just my personal sweet spot.

>>40921066
Yeah it looks pretty ridiculous now that I wrote it out but it's really not that crazy (in terms of volume I mean).

>>40921308
I keep the reps high because low reps on lifts that aren't the big 4 just doesn't seem to work for me. Doing 5 reps of things like rows just doesn't feel like I'm accomplishing anything.

I'm not sure how to add in ab work, since I can't really to cable crunches. The normies at my gym may think I'm on acid. Aim of this program is to get big and juicy. Mostly adding mass to arms, abs and traps.


Thoughts and suggestions?

>>40922198
Do more ab exercises

>>40922261
Which ones? So much bullshit goes on when I ask that I don't even know which ones will actually work.

>>40922316
you can just do calisthenics for abs which is what I do so I can just do abs at home. I do abs 5 days a week. I just do crunches, leg raises and planks. I have an ab wheel but I'm not strong enough to use it effectively yet

>>40922362
How are the results so far? I'll probably do something similar.

>>40922379
well it's not like doing ab exercises has given me a rippling six pack or anything. But I've certainly gotten a lot better at doing ab exercises, which presumably indicates my core has gotten stronger. I was really bad at them when I first started because I didn't do abs at all for a long time

AxBxAxx

A:
Squat 3x5
Bench 5x5

Some specific work for hamstrings.
Some ab work, usually Dragon Flags, weighted crunches.

B:

OHP 3x5
Curls 3x8
1x5 deadlift
Some ab work, usually Dragon Flags, weighted crunches.

On my off days I boulder (intensive explosive power-oriented rock climbing), which involve lots of pulling and rowing. So I dont do alot of pull work.

Pic related is what I'm doing during my semester.

It takes about 1h30 to 2h each training session + warm-ups. Been seeing solid arms gains on it, finally. Replaced lateral raises for heavy hammer presses bc fuck chicken flap flys.

>>40920676
Ditch leg extensions they're fucking horrible for your knees.

If you do hammer curls immediately after reg curls your biceps are going to be tired, you're better off doing one of them on each pull day.

>>40920882
How are you managing your progression? This is arguably the most important part of your programming.

>>40920990
Doing upper body on lower body days isn't going to prevent t-rex mode, you're just going to fuck up your recovery for the next day and shortchange your growth on your upper body.

>>40924692
This is great if you're lifting heavy weights (1/2/3/4 for reps).

Im doin an upper lower split twice a week:
Upper 1: bench press: 3-5x5, bent over rows: 3-5x5, db flat press: 2-3x10-15, curl and tri ext variations superset: 2-4x8-15, rear delt work, Grip and trap work
Lower 1: squats: 3-5x5, romanian deadlift: 3-4x6-10, some kinda unilateral quad movement: 3-4x6-12, abs
Upper 2: military press: 3-5x5, weighted pullups: 3-5x5, bench: 3xamrap with a given weight (95,135,185,225,etc), rear delt work, curl and tri ext variations: 2-4x8-15, abs
Lower2: deadlifts: 1x5, front squats: 3-4x8-15, posterior chain work (goodmornings, kb swings, glute ham raises, etc) grip and trap work, cleans variation if im not too beat up

>>40924829

Looks pretty decent but if you really want results you could hop on a legit novice program like greyskull/SL/SS. I'm also a lanklet (6'5) and I trained for a good 3 years doing all types of shit but I got the best results I ever have after 4 months on greyskull.

Oldballs oldfag checking in. Can't do power lifting or hardcore bodybuilding routines anymore thanks to injuries and age. I came up with this routine with my former Olympic lifting coach, my orthopedist, and a physical therapist.

>>40924539
Looks good mane.

If you're getting pain on lat raises you can just lean forward like 15 degrees and end palm forward at the top. I started doing that and I have zero pain now and I can do 50lbs for 15+ reps.

What do yall think of Candito's 6 week routine
Im thinking about running it indefinitely
Goal is to get strong and thicc

Current stats are
Squat 275 3x5 (by far shittiest lift)
Deadlift 335 3x5
Bench 225 3x5
OHP 135 3x5
BW 175 6'0

Any experience with this routine?

>>40924980
Whats wrong with that program

>>40925133
It's not a SS, SL, TM, or other Big 3 centric program. /fit/ shits all over everything that's not power-lifting derived.

>>40925053
that seems really intensive but if you can do it then go for it I guess

>>40925072
You're not meant to run it indefinitely m8 it won't work. If you want a program that will you can check out any of his UL splits, they work pretty well.

How is this bedroom routine? going for ottermode

pushups 2 x 15
decline pushups 2 x 15
burpees 2 x 15
plank 3 x 45s
side planks 3 x 30s
curls 2 x 20
front curls 2 x 15

I'm not moving a lot of weight so it's not that bad. The first few weeks sucked cock but now it gives me a good workout without the risk of injury. I'll probably have to stop squatting, cleaning, and deadlifting in a few years, though.

My routine was set up to increase my deadlift, cuz the phul that brandon campbell made had sqaut and deadlift together, so my deadlift suffered. So i seperated it, but then i started to realize how i plateued on my squat (nothing new). No matter what weoght i put on it is heavy for me. Is this a mental issue. Pls help

I was going to start a new thread with this question, but since we're all doing this already I'll ask here:

I've been doing madcow 5x5 for about 6-7 months, before that was a full two years of push/pull and variations. I also rock climb (lol indoor bouldering, occasional outdoors) and run (inb4 cardiokillsgains.jpg). At the end of the summer I'd like to be in better running and climbing shape, so I want to find a good "maintenance" routine where the main focus is keeping some strength/still practicing form, but not constantly working on getting stronger.

basically, is there a routine out there that will not take too much time out of my week so I can climb more and run more. In the fall, I will pick back up with a strength building routine and hopefully hop back on the gains train.

thanks for any help pls no bully

Having trouble to merge my Oly routine with some gaiinz.
Some advice?

>>40926095
What's your weekly layout?

>>40926061
If you do it that way that means you're only getting a 1x per week stimulus which is pretty shit m8 just do an upper lower

>>40926468
A better way to do that would be to run his power/strength program then use the 6 week program to peak. It's better to just consistently raise it over the course of the year than to peak repeatedly.

I'm coming to the early intermediate stage, and I want a routine focused around deads and OHP mainly, squats are fine and should be included, but I'd rather push the deadlift over them. I don't care a lot about bench, but should probably do some so I don't look weird. What's a good 3/4 time a week routine I can do for this? Texas method seems a bit too squat focused, especially coming off SS, and I'd rather a bit more upper body volume. 5/3/1 seems a bit slow progression wise, as I can probably still be adding 2.5kg a week to my deadlift and squat, but OHP progression will be slower. Any ideas?

Can someone rec me a routine that doesn't involve any leg work?

>>40928625

Just go to the gym and do what you want, bench, OHP, chins, hyperextensions, rows, ab work, maybe some shrugs for traps. Just don't do the same shit twice in a row, you'll be fine- your legs/hips are the most fatiguing things, as you're not doing squats/diddys up the volume and smash out chicken leg mode

>>40928672
I'd rather have a proper beginner routine to follow

>>40927454
By how much?

A:
Benchpress
Seated Rows
Triceps rope pulldown
Dips
Chins

B:
Deadlift
OHP
Ab-machine
Squats
Leg curls

I'm planning on starting this routine today, is it retarded?

>>40925059
Nice. I've done it thumbs up and never felt any pain either. I just get a better pump doing hammer/Arnold press.

>>40928849
The OHP is out of place. You'd be better off having it on A day. You'd need to alternate heavy bench+light ohp and heavy ohp+light bench

>>40928938
I split them up since I do much better on both of them when I take them on different days. Why would light/heavy on the the same day be better?

>>40928983
Because doing ohp the day after bench completely fucks up recovery. The point of a split is to give muscle groups additional recovery time. I want to modify my statement a little bit though. You wouldn't need a light bench because of the dips and triceps pulldowns. OHP and bench feed off of each other, gains on one leads to gains on the other. You'll progress well alternating between them each A day.

>>40928983
More volume. You can train one exercise in strength rep ranges, and the other in hypertrophy rep ranges. Frequency is key.

>>40929072
>>40929105
Alright thanks, any advice on what I can add to B-day instead then?

>>40920793
If you're talking about starting strengh, don't do it. It's only for complete beginners.

>>40926095
You have no idea what you're doing, find a ppl routine to stick with.

>>40928764
Take any proper novice routine and just don't do the leg shit, there you go.

>>40929870
>>40929895
you can do some LISS cardio or maybe HIIT training if you find it doesn't impact your lifting but don't train more than 6 days a week. I found the best frequency layout was PPLX repeat. You're still going at least 5 days per week but you still have plenty of time to recover everything.

>>40929955
That's a lot of volume on your pressing you might want to switch it up so you dosay3xx5 bennch and then 3x8-12 ohp on day A and then 3x5 ohp and 3x8-12 bench on day B. I'd recommend not doing a heavy squat and heavy DL on the same day as I find squats really impact my DL strength. You might want to switch the place of rows and chins on day A, and that seems like excessive volume for curls and face pulls on day B.

other than that looks good tho

Age 29, 180lbs, 6'0, lifting for 3.5 years, natty. I suffered a significant low back injury (ruptured spinal erectors - no nerve damage/slipped disc, but the scar tissue from the healing has caused permanent dmg/pain)

I cut out accessory movements to my big lifts and found that my progress didn't really decline, and by doing more of the "big" lifts, I got the most results. Adding back Squats helped my low back, and bringing Deadlifts was mixed (I kept aggravating my old injury) until I swapped to Sumo, where now I feel almost 90%.

I've been cutting for four months, running 5/3/1 without increasing weight (losing about 5lbs on bench a month), but over the past year, I found I always felt my best doing triples weeks, with the 5x10s a little too much.
I want to do a strength size mix that is really based off of 5/3/1, but im worried that the volume may be too much. I only "bulk" lean, which is a +200 cal surplus (and cut at 600) - But my bulking cycles are around 14 months, with cutting being 5-6. You can tell how harsh this cut has been - I look extremely depleted, but I'm nearly as strong as ever, combined with being as leaner than ever. Last time I was this strong, I weighed 225#, when I was last this lean, I was 30% weaker.

4 day routine, Upper Lower.

Upper A)
5/3/1 warmup
3x3 Bench - Same weight
5x3 Bench - Drop weight each set to max intensity
3x3 Heavy neutral grip chins
3x8 Weighted chins

3x12Dips - Same weight (I cant go heavy without my sternum experiecing excruciating pain. I've tried everything, but if anyone has any experience with this, let me know)

Lower A)
3x3 Heavy Squat
5x8 Slightly less heavy squat - Drop weight each set to max intensity
3x12 low back extension

Upper B)
Replace Bench with standing barbell OHP, otherwise, same as Upper A

Lower B)
3x3 Heavy Sumo Deadlifts max intensity
5x6 Sumo Deads
3x12 low back exntesion

I'm at the end of linear progression for the upper body lifts, so I'm trying to design a routine that will keep building strength while also improving work capacity and calethetic technique. Here's what I have so far:

>Sunday

Lat Pulldown 3x5
Squat 3x5
OHP 3x5
Deadlift 1x5

>Tuesday

Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Deadlift 3x5
Chin-ups

>Thursday
Push-up progression 3x5
Inverted rows progression 3x5
Handstand push-up progression 3x5
Pull-up progression 3x5

What do you guys think?

I have busy times ahead of me so I need to cut down the time spent at the gym. I am currently running Texas Method and my stats are (1,5/3/5) on OHP/SQ/DL. I also run 4-5 times a week and swim twice. My goal is to increase or at least retain strenght while getting faster on running and swimming. What do you guys think of doing this:

A.
Squat (3,3,3,2,2,2,1,1,1 aka work up to a 1RM)
30-50 clean and jerks

B
Deadlift (3,3,3,2,2,2,1,1,1)
30-50 thrusters

C.
OHP (3,3,3,2,2,2,1,1,1)
1x20 back squats

I'm also doing pullups everyday with weighted ones on friday.

I know the "accesory work" sounds pretty crossshitty but it seems like a good way to get reps in quickly. I will be making sure that my form stays on point so I won't be doing them striclty for time. I'd much rather do some strongman movements but my gym sucks on that department.

>>40930775

Wouldn't it make more sense to move >tuesday to >thursday and vice versa? That way you would get more rest in between heavy compounds and you could use the bodyweight day as a light day in the middle.

Looking at running 531 with the 5x3 bbb variation. I just finished up the bbb challenge and whew lad I learned a lot. Helped me out a lot with deads and press but not as much bench and squat, and I've always been better with volume than singles, so I think some low rep work will help
Trying to keep volume up on all the lifts though, as well as the bbb work, thinking something like so

Explanations for some oddities
I want to keep high volume deads in. In the last 3 months I've added almost 70 pounds to deads due to high volume, hence the added deadlift set on squat day
Shrugs are used mostly as grip work, also good to add in some trap work, no reason to make upper body days longer for that kind of thing so it goes on lower
Extra pressing work is again because of good response to higher volume
All of the days have some firm of weak spot training. Chest is weak in bench, adding in extra variations for press (weak off bottom), strengthening quads (Front squat) pull is weak around knees in deadlift
Current stats are 130/220/340/385 at 170
Anything seem odd here? Hoping to get stronger above all else, trying to keep volume work some lower reps to get better there as well as hit some weak points. I'll be bulking through all of this. Advice? Tips? Changes? Open to anything really

why is deadlift not 2x5,1x5+ like others

>Wouldn't it make more sense to move >tuesday to >thursday and vice versa? That way you would get more rest in between heavy compounds and you could use the bodyweight day as a light day in the middle.

I tend to be strongest on Sunday (full rest) and get weaker as the work week goes on (late nights a work / missed sleep). For this reason, I've been shifting to programming the light day near the end of the week.

Now, in line with your suggestion, I might shift bench day to Wednesday and push-up day to Friday to give more rest between bench and OHP (effectively making Friday the middle light day).

Gotta give us a weekly layout and setsxreps for a good critique.

>>40930775
If you're at the end of LP you're going to need some sort of periodization. I'd recommend hopping on 5/3/1 for bodybuilders for now until you figure something out.

Been alot into RPT style training lately. Trying to gain strength and muscle with low volume.
I try to focus on aesthetics so i focus on lats,shoulders,chest etc but overall strong body is my goal.

A:Chest and Tris:
>Incline DB 2 x 4-6, 6-8
>Flat DB or machine 2 x 4-6, 6-8
>skull crushers 2 x 4-6, 6-8
>lateral raise 4 x 10-12

B:Legs/Biceps
>Deadlift 2 x 4-6, 6-8
>Split squat/squat 2 x 4-6,6-8
>Hammer curl 2 x 6-8, 8-10

If i stall i can raise the reps to 6-8,8-10 on big movements for a while and drop the weights.
Been adding strenght and muscle while cutting.

>TFW can do 4 reps of weighted pull ups with 30kg weight added

>>40920676
A = Squat, Row, OHP.
B = Squat, Deadlift, OHP.
3 x 10 warm up.
3 x 5 Work.
3 times a week, 20 min cardio everyday. Thats it.

>>40928815
I am going to say by how I feel like it, honestly. I guess once a week with each compound lift is going to be realistic, as you alternate the exercises to be either first or third in your list. Each time it is first, you progress by 2,5kg while you maintain it when it is third. That way you're gonna have a good starting point for progressing your compounds before getting fatigued. Speaking for hypertrophy sets, I guess those will be more for the feeling and technique instead of linear progression. Ofcourse those will be upped too, but rather based on feeling.

Please rate, I'm using this to come off of stronglifts 5x5 to lose the t rex mode and create some upper body hypertrophy while still gaining strength on the big three.

Or you can not be a faggot and just run this switching exercises for each slot ever 1-3 weeks :)

>>40934391
You should try to up the frequency man 1x per week is pretty bad. I'd personally go with ABCx repeat.

Other than that you should be gucci

>>40934482
Looks ok, assuming you're doing xULxULx

Stop going to failure so much

>>40934744
I have tried it and its too much for me. this might seem underwhelming but it works for me because i add strenght almost every workout.

Note that im hitting bit of other muscle groups as well on all workouts
Also forgot to say i do a light bodyweight/mobility session once every week and also abs x 2 per week in the gym with weights

Power cleans would be nice

>>40934796
It's inspired by GREYSKULL LP

What's wrong with going to failure?

>>40934813
I've done that before adding strength every workout as well. What I did was add 5lbs per set per session eg 3x5 of 100 then 2x5 of 100 and 1x5 of 105 and continue like that, not sure how you'd do that for RPT but that worked very well for me.

Either way the 1x per week frequency is far from optimal and you're missing out on gains.You might also just be at the end of your novice phase, in which case you need to use periodization for optimal training.

>>40933665
deadlift stresses your central nervous system far more, and it has a lot of overlap with squat.

So you can do less of it and will have an easier time making gains.

>>40934943
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with going to failure but going to failure on every exercise is a bad idea desu especially when you pick exercises which work the same muscle groups like you did with dips an bench.

You're going to:
>Limit your strength on the later movement
>Hurt your recovery
>Build significant amounts of fatigue
>If you're still an earlier novice you will most likely get an injury

>>40934958
You mean that i should do my workouts twice per week?

>>40935133
yes, or at least 1.5x like what I described.

>>40935363
I'll see to that when im on maintenance calories
