Post your routines, give feedback, exchange good ideas.

Keep shitposting to a minimum, no one cares if you dislike someone's routine if you provide no feedback.

Pic related is the one I'm doing, got it from one of these threads. Second week in and enjoying it a lot more than other meme routines like PHUL.

Thread over. For future posters actually wanting their routines rated, go to >>34860636

I'm currently following a slightly modified version of Candito's linear programming routine. It's basically an upper lower routine that that's 4 times a week.
For strength days I do 3x5 and for volume days I lower the weight and do 4x8.
This seems similar to PHUL which some call a meme routine. Is my routine bad?

Also I've read in other routine threads that upper lower is a better split than PPL. What's the rationale behind this?

Already gave my opinion on this one. To sum up, solid routine 9/10.

>>34871605

8/10

Would change a few exercises and lower some rep ranges, but that's personal choice
.
Routines are supposed to be a personal thing (unless you're a novice, then follow the main novice routines until you know more), so if this works for you, then it's great.

>>34871794

Candito's program is pretty good. (just don't do the seated barbell OHP he mentions kek)

PHUL is a meme routine because it has bad exercise selection and it has no thought behind the strength progression. All the main strength lifts are just thrown in at once in the same day, which is just stupid.

There's no "better program" between UL and PPL, it all depends on your goals and schedule.
If you're training 6 days per week and has no problem with fatigue and recovery, PPL like Phat is pretty good.
If you're training 4 days per week, then a PPL+Fullbody like the OP's pic or a ULUL like Candito's are the best choices.
If you're training 3 days per week, then stick to full-body or UL+Fullbody.

Now, between ULUL and PPL+Fullbody, there's no real big difference. The main thing is that you can have a better strength progression with PPL+F than ULUL, as you have the main upper-body strength lifts divided in two days.

The objective is to train every muscle group at least twice per week.
This for hypertrophy or hybrid routines, of course. Strength/Olympic routines are pretty different.

I also started doing it, yesterday in fact. I'll experiment with it for a couple of weeks and see how it goes.

I really enjoyed doing the one-arm lat pulldowns. Never did those before, I could really feel the burn in my lats. And it gave me a crazy forearm pump.

Decline bench is pretty useless, it just shortens the ROM of the flat bench.
Machine flys are good, but cable crossovers are a lot better imo. longer range of motion and you can really get a very good contraction in your pecs, squeeze them hard.

Why are you benching on day B? Specially such high volume. Don't. You need to let your pecs rest and adapt for progress to occur. If you're squatting on day B, then focus the entire day on the squat.

This is what Wendler's 5/3/1 program does - you focus on one of the lifts on each workout.
So don't bench on day B, don't squat on day D, don't bench on day E. This is not me saying this, it's Wendler himself.

Now, in my opinion, you can squat on D and bench on E. But benching on B after benching on A is bad. It will just hurt your progress.

You might wanna give one-arm lat pulldowns a try. They have the longest ROM out of any back exercise, and you can really feel the burn in your lats.
Shrugs are pretty useless. Deadlifts and power cleans (or the barbell shrug, a variation of the power clean) will build your traps a lot more than shrugs.

>>34874960

Looks completely fine to me.

>>34875309

The volume is too high. Do 3x5 instead of 5x5 (reg park's program is actually 3x5, the first two sets of the 5x5 are warmup sets). And do the bench press as the first or second exercise, or you'll be too fatigued to progress in it.
Same thing for day B, do 3x5s, but very importantly don't do 3x5 deadlifts. That's not only unnecessary, but a quick ticket to snap city. All novice programs have deadlifts be 1x5 and for a good reason - you don't need more than one workset to progress on deadlifts, and doing multiple sets is prone to cause your form to break down and you to injure yourself.

Don't do 3x8 bench. Do 3x5 or 5x5. The objective of the lift is to lift as heavy as you can. It's a compound, not an isolation. Besides, the movement relies a lot on form, and doing high reps cause you to lose your form. There have been studies done on this etc.
Also, you will take long as fuck to progress if you keep doing 3x8 bench. It's already hard to progress with 5 reps, it will take forever with 8.

Dumb flys are a bad exercise. It's one of the things that cause the most injury. If you start doing them with heavy weights, there's no way you can fail a rep without risking fucking up your shoulders or your pecs. Do cable crossovers instead.
Already gave my opinion on shrugs here >>34876452

Why the hell are you doing 5x5 Deadlifts? That's insane. Not only you will be completely fatigued and won't be able to do anything else with decent progression on day B, you will be on your way to snap city.
Stick to 1x5 DL. You don't need to do more than that to progress here, and this amount of volume will allow you to do the rest of your workout without being completely fatigued.

You might wanna try doing pistol squats instead of one-leg leg press. The reason for this is that when you're standing on one leg, your hip abductors get very active and do a lot of work. This makes the pistol squat not only a great exercise to work each leg separately, but also a great exercise for the hip abductors.

Leg extensions are terrible for your knees. If you wanna isolate your quads give the sissy squats a try.

>>34875429

You might wanna give one-arm lat pulldowns a try. They have the longest ROM out of any back exercise, and you can really feel the burn in your lats.

Leg press is a meme exercise in my opinion. Front squats at 8-12 reps would be a better choice.

I'd do hanging leg raises instead of knee raises. Knee raises train your hip flexors a lot more than your abs.

The rest seems ok.
