Post body if you're going to post your half baked routine
slightly edited
I don't like bench
How's it half baked? It's one of the most popular PPL on that website lol
And my body is nothing to brag about so far like I said I've only been lifting for 5 months dickhead
need a new routine, might take thanks
anybody have any real things to say about it? good or shit (and explain why fucking idiots)?
I'm currently on my first week of coolcicada's ppl, how would you rate it?
Did you make gains?
Push
Bench 3x8
Incline Bench 3x10
Dips 3x10
OHP 3x8
Cable side rises 3x10
Close grip bench 3x10

Bentover row 3x10
One arm db row 3x10
BB curl/db curl 4x10

I'm really loving the pull so I'm probably gonna stick with it for a while.
one minuss is that its very long time per workout 1,5-2 hours
Poorfag here doing a modified PHUL in a shitty gym without adjustable barbells until I can finish getting out of debt and upgrade to a better gym. Not counting warmup sets.
Day 1:
Hammer chest press 5x5
Hammer pulldown 5x5
Hammer overhead press 5x5
Wide grip seated cable rows, focusing on rear delt 5x5
Superset cable hammer curls and cable skull crushers using the rope handle 5x8

Day 5:
Leg press 5x8

Leg curl 4x12
Weighted crunch machine 4x12
Back extension 4x12 (this one is the same both days because it can't go heavier)
Also, I do a half hour on the rower or elliptical after lifting. That's usually about 40 minutes of lifting on upper days, 30 on lower.
P/P/L/P/P/Rest/Rest
One big lift per day (the first and also the heaviest of the workout).
Based or not?
Day 1 - Push

post body
Coolcicidas PPL is goat
this is what i started off with for a little under a year (with a 2-month break because a past injury flared up). made a lot of gains for sure (and weight loss, but i was cutting so that was the goal) but keep in mind this is my first routine so noob gains are expected. lots of volume so i get yelled at for that every time i post it. but i liked it for sure. started plateauing so looking for something new. everybody seems to like the OP routine so i'm gonna try that for a few months

Is 3x5 bench enough volume for hypertrophy?? I'm more focused on getting big and aesthetic than strong.
Can I modify OP routine to like 4x10 for dem gains?
post body at home
Since this is a routine thread, I'll ask here. What would be a better style of training if I also want to train MMA 3x a week, something like SS/SL or something like a PHUL routine?
keep the big lifts at 3x5
Can you explain why?
Not tryna be a dick just genuinely tryna learn
they're for strength
the 3x8-12 are for hypertrophy
Is there such thing as too much volume in a routine?
Assuming you’re doing other accessory work and not only bench, that rep range is fine for hypertrophy. Those bigger compound lifts lend well to low volume due to the sheer amount of progressive overload you can do on them.
hanging out with people right after work so no time for that and for some reason people think it's weird when you say "hey brb, gotta take a pic of my body so this man on the internet can see if my routine holds up"

Can you explain to me how to warm up and progress on a PPL? I'm gonna start one next week but the template in is very barebones compared to what I ran up until now.
PPLz respond
I do push/pull almost every day, I've taken 6 rest days this month when I had other stuff to do.
Bench/OHP alternating
Db bench/press alternating
Cable flyes
Db/cable Lat raise
Tricep ext
Pull-up/chinup alternating

3 sets for everything.5-6 reps on barbell 8-12 on db and cables

Do rear delt work, stretching, abs on restdays
Looking good. So are you doing some variation of 5 3 1 that you made?
I used to do just boring but big variation 2
For some reason my lifts were weaker then despite getting better recovery and doing less intensity then. I guess not every routine is for everyone.
What you recommend I change about mine?
Nice, but for best gains over-time you'll need 2 volume days (not splitting one in 2, but doing twice the volume you're doing now - it sounds crazy, but you'll be able to progress on ID while keeping the intensity on the 2 VDs lower), and with 2 VDs you might want to throw the accessories on LD or ID, or you'll be in the gym 5 days per week.
For best gains, you should work different rep ranges. At least 3s, 5s, 8s.
Is 5/3/1 for beginners an ok routine to start after a year of lifting? I just finished two months of PPL and am looking to cut down to 3-4 days in the gym. Only thing I worry about is if it's too targeted towards beginners
>Two volume days for TM

My apart building has a room with a bench, adjustable dumbbells, EZ bar, Tricep Bar and enough plates. The plates are too small to deadlift comfortably with tho but I occasionally shill out for a one off gym session to go deadlift. Pretty new to lifting but have been going most days for 1 1/2 month but never had a routine. Made this to start next week. Constructive criticism welcome

It's a bro split that has legs once a week; you know what the answer is
I do Muah Thai, Run and cycle so I think I'm good for legs with one leg day. Maybe thinking of adding weighted lunges?
Cycle to uni 15km each way every weekday

Calithenics day, stop at my unis straight bars and do bodyweight shit mainly working on FL and muscle ups
Tuesday
Back Squats 5x5
Cleans 3x5
Rdl 12x3
Weighted chins 5x5
Calfs
Wednesday
Bench 5x5
Close grip bench

Ab shit, fuck tonne of crunches and ab wheeling basically
Friday off
Saturday
Diddlies 5/3/1
Front squats 10x3
Good mornings 10x3
Back rehab stuff
Sunday rest
I like the idea of hybrid athlete training so I'm trying to implement that sort of stuff, not quite crossfit though. feel free to critique/open to improvements
>Muah Thai, Run and cycle so I think I'm good for legs with one leg day.
cardio and resistance training are not the same
>Maybe thinking of adding weighted lunges?
No? Maybe you should squat more
Looking for some criticism. Going to remove a rest day once I get used to the volume.

Genemaxxed routine for mid-20s boomers
If you're in the gym for more than 45 minutes you are fucking up majorly
That's more sets in a single pull workout than I do in an entire week. Retard routine for dyels who think they're gonna get swole doing an enhanced routine and fizzle out after 3 weeks
lol post body please
SL. full body is easier to adjust based on your mma schedule.
Frequency > Volume
beginner routines dont matter. just learn the lifts and get used to lifting
ottermode af
what u do for abs besides Celery 24x7?
These threads are autistic as fuck
This is my current program using the WS4SB 1 template. I also do 2 days of cardio. I switch my max-effort lifts (bench and squat/deadlifts) every 3 weeks and accessory lifts every 6 weeks. I've gained 15 lbs in 8 months and have dropped to 17% bf.
I do boxing MWF and want to do some weighlifting. Which routine do you recommend that I can do on Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday?
Do Arnold's Golden Six routine.
Stronglifts + curls&lat raises
