>Deadlifts. Your routine is too much focused on upper body
Deadlifts with bent-over rows puts too much pressure on my lower back.
What am I missing muscle wise then?
Core, quads, glutes
Only doing squat will give you a weak lower body
Ok best exercise for those three?
Deadlift
Damn Deadlifts do that much huh, What can I do to prevent the lower back problem? move squats to B and put deadlifts in A? is deadlift 1x5 good?
Put squat on one day and DL on the other
Focus on form and you won't have lower back problems

New lifter here so tips and critique are appreciated.
If I swapped bent-over rows for deadlifts, will I lose anything from not doing bent-over rows?
Wanna switch to 3 day FWB, any good app tips with progress and calculator shit involved?
No. Rows are shit.

I think I'm doing too much volume without proper recovery time and A days take too long. I was considering trying out adding a day C where I move the BB rows and OHP from A. It would also give 7 days rest between specific exercises which might make 5 x 10 doable long-term.
can someone rate?

I just started doing stronglifts with dips added on the A day and pull ups added on B. Anyone have any thoughts on stronglifts in general? Is it actually good or is it just a meme?
Stretch your hamstrings. That helped me when I was having lower back problems with Da Diddylift.
Westside for Skinny Bastards
Looks complicated, really isn't. Making great strength gains. Only downside is it doesn't have much pec work besides bench press (shit at building a big chest), so I incorporate cable crossovers after I do bench. I also add Neck curls after shrugs for the neck gains - amazing.
interesting program, making strength gains?
Dont deadlift and squat heavy on the same day. Shit might fuck you up, especially if you're a newb, and will completely drain your energy.
Also, you absolutely need rows. I've lifted for 2 years without rows and my shoulders were fucked. Posture sucked, joints ached. Took some time to fix.
Looks good other than that. The volume may be too much for you but thats it.
But doing rows and deadlift or rows and squats on the same day does the same thing, what can I do?
Nah I'm cutting, but I haven't really lost much strength so there's that.
Yes, rows are far better back builders than diddlies. Try finding a way to do both.
No thats good. I am currently on SL doing dips and pullups. SL doesnt have arm work so do some bicep curls as well
Is Deadlift: 1x5 good? Or should it be 3x5 like squats?
Just do 1x5+ with warmup sets.
> trips of Summer
your core is weak. deload a lot, still do those exercises and do lots of core for a month. you will see huge diff. also PERFECT form on deadlifts or else.
literally change A Deadlift + Squat to Alternating and personally i would change B squat to alternating front / back squats.
are u going to exhaustion? are you looking fo hypertrophy ?
is this some kind of ottermode type routine? move you deadlift to A and your vanity stuff to B
A: Chest and tris
Barbell bench 3x5

OHP 3x5
Dumbbell shoulder press 3x5
One arm lateral raise 3x5
Ab rollout 3xF
ABCABC forever no rest. Each day has low volume but I do each day very frequently
Yeah that sounds good, how will I know when to switch to a new weight? When I reach 10 teps - 15 reps?
I guess that is a good idea, I can lift these quite easily but the lower back gets tired easily is that a sign of a weak core then?
how’s this for abs and grip?
>weighted crunch 12,10,8
>hanging leg raise 3x8
>ab roller X AMRAP until form breaks down
>farmers walks
>dead hangs
>reverse curls
Thanks for the advice, will add some extra arm work. I didn't mention this in my original post but I do different accessories each workout that focus on a specific part that SL kinda neglects like calfs, upper/lower chest, rear/front delts, etc.
It's easy to not need rest when you're missing half your body: the legs.
Oh yeah farmer walks, what is the recommended lengths for that? 4 lengths?
4x5 program - 3xweek (mon - wed - fri) - warm-up for every exercise at slow - high reps (8) with just a few weights to get the blood pumping
Bench press
Deadlift
Squats (i do these twice a week, i skip at wednesday)
One-armed Barbell rows
OHP
I'm a beginner kinda, but did upper-lower splits some years back. Feel pretty good about the setup right now. Planning on doing chin-ups as well.
Should i add more sets? I already went from 3 to 4, not sure if 5x5 really is worth it, but maybe you guys know.
Fatty looking to lose weight. Is doing 6x10 the optimal thing to do ? I see a lot of people here "only" do 5x5 series.
I just do laps of the car park of my gym. I know you’re meming but it is hard to judge progression for farmers walks

If 5 reps is your base for an AMRAP set, then getting past ten on a set is a solid number for moving up. Though if you're only doing that one AMRAP set as your working set, then maybe move up sooner, at 7 or 8 reps. Your lower back getting tired easily is usually from a weak core or bad form, usually both. Deloading and then focusing on form as you work back up will help with both.
What makes that an ottermode routine?

I try to rotate PPLPP to PPLPL repeat
I think i should Add pull ups to leg day and chin ups to Pull day.
6x10 will leave you exhausted and might get you injured.
5x5 is usually for strength training. If you wanna build muscles, you need volume. So you can do 3x10 or 12 depending on your exercise.
the what?
Not neccessarily. Honestly, dont go heavy on rows. Do a 3x8 or 5x8. Also regular rows are overrated. There are so many row variations that put way smaller strain on your lower back while being less awkward to do properly, dumbbell row being a good example.
If you really want to row heavy in low rep ranges, do pendlay rows.
see pic attached. it's probably my best routine created thus far. its sometihng i have tested over a few years. diet is also included. hope you guys enjoy and i encourage you guys to try it. it will make you aesthetic as fuck
