Hey /fit/ thinking of modifying my routine, please rate. It's kind of a mix of the leddit ppl but 5 days instead of 6. I've been doing PPLxULx but I'm thinking I'll get enough leg volume doing a leg day once a week. I'm not too concerned about my legs getting bigger, I just want my squat to go up. I feel like my The Press has been lacking so I want to add more upper body. I like doing a 5 day routine, it works best for me.
When I say 5/3/1 it's following the 5/3/1 programming for that lift. The numbers (in american) are my 1rm and for accessories it's what I'm repping currently, to give you guys an idea of where I'm at.

I also mix in shorter cardio sessions in the week. Trying to hit 5 total. I'm 5'7" 160lbs right now, probably 11-12% bf. Recomp diet.
Don't ignore me you rancid swine.

Forgot to add on my Push days I do 3x20 lateral raises and 3x20 front raises for shoulders

I'd think about spreading out your shoulder exercises to 2 days, as well as triceps and biceps. I think most small muscle groups can be hit twice a week, over training them will get diminishing returns.
ITT: no rest days and no gains

Being young and already having 4 years of strength training under my belt (and some weird circuit training in middle school) really helps w/ my recovery time. I understand what over training is, I know the signs of it, and I haven't experienced them.

lol yeah cardio kills gains. Thanks bro.
