Could anyone give me more info on this "Compound's Push/Pull" routine I found on the intermediate section of this info graphic? Like, is it a strength routine or hypertrophy? And how much should I increase the weight for each set? I tried looking this up and found no info.
If you can't figure this out for yourself, you should still be doing a beginner's routine.

I'm not a beginner, I've already been doing madcow 5x5 for a while and I thought it was time to do a new routine. It's just that I have very little information on it.

kek yes you are
only a beginner would start a thread like this in a place like this to ask about some shitty internet routine from an outdated infographic using questions like
>Like, is it a strength routine or hypertrophy?
>And how much should I increase the weight for each set?
post your lifts, weight, and height

Damn son no need to be a dick. I was just wondering if this routine had a different amount of progression from the one I'm currently doing
>>34995964
kek well you are a beginner so it's not relevant right now BUT madcow was some guy at bb.com who made up a program using second hand info from glenn pendlay
a good rule of thumb for novice and intermediate programs is if there's no book about it then you probably shouldn't be doing it :^)
go read SS or something tbqh family
>a good rule of thumb for novice and intermediate programs is if there's no book about it then you probably shouldn't be doing it :^)
Then what about all those people that make up their own routines? And if this is true then why is madcow even on the sticky?

Dude shut up you're an ass. Hey OP, the routine looks like a hypertrophy routine because of the rep ranges. Madcow and Texas Method are the common intermediate strength routines. For me personally, when I complete a full set at a given weight twice with good form, I add 5 lbs.

the people who can effectively make their own routines don't need validation for them from some internet forum. they have a good enough idea of what works through at least experience, if they're not also well read when it comes to programming.
the people who ask "IS MY ROUTINE GOOD?" have never read a programming book and don't really have a good idea of what's best for them, so they add bosu chest sprints and ask other people who have just as much experience as they do if the program is good
>And if this is true then why is madcow even on the sticky?
because this site was initially designed for anime and le random jokes, not for serious lifting

kek i bet you have shit lifts

Thank you for not being a dick dude. Are there any other intermediate strength routines you would recommend besides madcow and Texas method?
progression on push pull stuff like that usually is pretty arbitrary - obviously you aren't doing a LP and the amount of volume on other stuff makes quick progression harder. You try to progress every time you do that exercise, and deload slightly if you fail a set.
You shouldn't be doing the same exercise at the same intensity more than once a week in those types of routines

wow dont be a cunt brah

You don't need specific routines beyond the novice stage. You need to understand basic programming and adjust on the go to make the desired progress.
Read Practical Programming.
