I've done SS, but I want to start lifting to improve my basketball now. What would be a good routine for this? Strength stuff leaves often leaves me too tired to play, and basketball practice leaves me too sore to progress. What sort of routine would you guys suggest?
>>
>>34874790
holy fuck the amount of volume here is retarded
>>
>>34874841
I can't really do it with proper form, I blame my weak core

>>34874873
If I have time, will and energy, why is it bad? I'm supplying the food and sleep necessary

Newfag here, what does 4xExh mean?

At such high volume, you're burning a shitload of calories. Don't whine if your bulk won't go that well.
>>
>>34874959
I'm eating at around 900kcal over maintenance, and that's with "moderate" exercise included, so 3500kcal. Should be enough?

>>34874955
exhaustion, basically do it until you collapse
>>
>>34874970
If I've been lifting for about 3 months and have barely trained abs, should I for something like OP's workout on rest days or something with less volume? The most abs I've done is throw in 3x15 bottoms ups at the end of my normal workout.
>>
>>34874897
Because after some point adding reps and sets leads to injuries and not gains

For example, on your chest day you do 72 reps (most routines don't go over 30 reps) of bench press, which is a compound exercise thats extremely taxing on your upper body. Figure out the rest.
>>
what's that program called you are using? I've trying to find it for ages, so many good routines but i havn't been able to find it
>>
>>34874790
>arms
>only biceps

why would you have an entire day dedicated to doing curls?.. and rep range under 8 on isolation exercises? not too good for the joints m8.
>>
>>34875102
ah my bad. just saw you actually just divided it into biceps and triceps.
still, though, fucking high volume for your fucking ARMS. All you really need for a good arm workout would be some kind of curls or chinups + dips or cable pushdowns
>>

Something quite similar here.

3x8 BB Row
3x8 Dips

3x8 Ez-Bar Curls
>B
2x6 Deadlift
3x6 OHP
3x8 Chinups
3x8 Flat Flyes
3x8 Lat Raises
3x8 Skullcrushers

Ab work done at the end of every session. At least it should be, keep letting it slip my mind and my core is lagging because of it.
>>
>>34875123
3 times a day
>>
>>34875253
I'd do less accessories and more compounds, it also works your core
for example skullcrushers isolate your triceps, but you can work your triceps with bench/ohp/rows, feels like an overkill
>>
>>34874790
Hate to tell it to you but your routine isn't optimal for gainz. You need to hit at least every muscle group twice per week for optimal gainz, because protein synthesis is only heightened for 24-48 hours. Do some rear delt and external rotation isolation work or your chance of shoulder injury will be higher without them.

I recommend another routine, if hyperthrophy is your goal , google Brandon Campbell's upper/lower routine. Its a better routine and more time efficient as its only 4 days a week.
>>
Goals are getting stronger at DL,SQ, BP and OHP. BP and OHP gainz are lagging behind in comparison with DL and SQ.

what does the ExH stand for? kinda wanna steal this split
>>34874790
>>
>>34875549
nvm i'm retarded. you mean exhausted
>>
>>34875549
Don't , it's a bad split made by a beginner if you read the comments.
>>
>>34875081
It's not called anything, I came up with it based on an online survey regarding best split, then chose the exercises based on training all areas, including OHP,bench and squat and personal preference for what I felt targeted my muscles well.

>>34875102
>>34875110
Low reps are for big weight
The reason I put so much focus on arms is because they are heavily behind the rest of my body. I can't do proper db press because my arms can't hold enough weight in the air(my bench is 50kg, can't even hold 15kg dumbbells)

>>34875363
I know about PHUL, the thing is I don't really want to follow an online routine anymore. I choose to customize one for my needs so I can get in good enough shape to do compounds properly

>>34875549
>>34875558
>>34875589
depends on personal needs
I designed this for myself, with exercises I like, focusing hard on parts that are lacking etc


I posted this for constructive criticism and advice, simply saying it's shit doesn't help at all


atm the only thing I got out of it is that it's too high volume, so I'll try it out for a while and if results are not good enough, I'll decrease heavy exercise sets to 3
>>
OP, you will see much better progress on a twice a week routine similar to PPL or the arnold blueprint to mass (my fave, although you seem to skelly for that). Brosplits are more of a meme than SS.
>>
Nooby who stalled on linear progress on SS, switched to a PP split with higher volume and only raising weights /week and only if I felt like it was too easy

Don't customize and make your own routine because you're a beginner and don't know anything about proper programming even while you think you know enough.

Only trying to help you anon, i made the same mistake.
>>
>>34874864
Bump. Would a hypertrophy focus or a strength focus be better?
>>
ABABABx

A:

Hammer curl
DB curl
Barbell curl
wide bench press
narrow bench press
dumbbell press
cable crosses

B:

Preacher curl
Concentration curl
Dumbbell row
incline bench
decline bench

This is all 4x12
>>
>>34876195
Why not both? Do your heavy compounds first (for example:so you can improve your leg strength for a bigger vertical leap) And some isolation work for the parts you want to work on.

Look up Candito's linear program, it's strength based with with room for hyperthrophy work as you choose and the volume isn't that high so you won't be sore for your basketball practice
>>
>>34876195
Strength is always better unless you are roiding.

Here's my routine, it's basically just SS with some dips, chins and pulls added:

A-
Back squat-3x5
Bench press- 3x5 (to warm up for bench press- 2x12 curls)
Deadlift- 1x5

B-
Back squat-3x5
OHP-3x5
power cleans- 5x3

AxBxAxx
BxAxBxx

Accessories to add:

Workout 1:
dips- 3xf
Hanging leg raise- 2x8

Workout 2:
Chin-ups- 3xf

Workout 3:
Pull ups 3xf

I've made good gains, but I'm worried at how large my legs are in comparison to everything else. Should I switch to greyskull, which has an upper body focus? It seems like a really boring routine though, in comparison to SS.
My main goal is strength but I don't want to sacrifice aesthetics completely.
Also any advice on when to go to an intermediate routine? I weigh 83 kgs at 188 cm. stats below:

Squat: 95kg
Deadlift:120kg
Bench: 65 kg
OHP: 40 kg
Power cleans: 60 kg

Is this routine decent? I have a good strength base now I'm looking to get bigger. I don't have a leg day because I front squat once a week and back squat another plus I'm pretty much trex mode.

Also im 19 If that makes me any difference.

Thinking of doing
>http://oldschooltrainer.com/3-day-push-pull-legs/

Day One – Pull

Deadlifts (conventional, sumo, snatch-grip,trap bar) – 5 sets x 5 reps
Rows (barbell, dumbbell, machine or t-bar) – 5 sets x 5 reps
Weighted Pull-Ups or Chins – 5 sets x 5 reps

Day Two – Push

Flat, Incline, Dumbbell, or Machine Bench Press – 5 sets x5 reps

But could deathlifts be replaced? I'm not that concerned about strength

watched candito's video and i'm thinking of replacing paused cgbp with spoto press (similar except it's normal grip and the pause is at ~2inches above chest)
any input on this?

will stick for next 6-8months with this
progression works extremely well for me
bp 137.5x3, sq 173x3 (@ ~90-955kg)
>>
>>34876964
I do something very similar while cutting, even less volume though, and intense as fuck. Strength has been maintained or even improved.
>>
>>34880252
3 or 4 days a week?
5x5 deadlifts as well?
>>
>>34880550
DL 2x3-5 on mon
Bench 2x6-8 on wed
Squat 2x6-8 on fri

and like 2-3 assistance moves.
All Reverse Pyramid, meaning I do one top set of 3-5, reduce with 10% and try to do one more rep than the prior set was for.
