/fit/, I don't wanna squat three times a week.
I'm already very naturally T. Rex as it is.
>>
>>35136000
Then don't. I only squat once a week.

legs don't grow forever. they grow a lot initially then stop. if you're already t-rex they probably won't grow much at all, though honestly when beginners say they have big legs it's almost always fat legs

They're both, big and fat. I used to sprint in my teens and stop because of a hernia injury, got a gf, got married, started a business, etc, etc.

Honestly, it's not even so much that I'm afraid of getting even more T. Rex (though fitting in my pants is pretty nice) it's just that I don't know if I can handle the volume of a typical beginner routine.

What routine?

My own.

Day 1
>Diddylift
>Weighted pullups
>Wrist curls and pronated bicep curls for dem joocy forearms

Day 2
>Bench press
>French press or overhead tricep extensions
>Shrugs
>Lateral raises for posterior and medial deltoids

Rest for a day

Day 3
>Squat
>Perhaps something for hammies and/or calves
>Abs

Day 4
>Bench press
>Incline bench press
>Weighted pullups or low pulley row
>A little something for triceps

Rest for two days and repeat with bigger weights, longer or more sets. Sometimes I have lighter workouts or take a couple of extra days off, if I feel I'm not progressing due to straining my self too much.

I've seen some shit routines here, but Jesus Christ, yours is a serious contender for number 1 spot.

You have to be down right stupid to squat 3 times a week. I never understood those idiots squatting 3 times a week, what for ? basically you're doing volume, so it is inevitable that you'll end up t rexs mode with no actual strength, and once the loads will get to training man level you'll end up injured in no time
>>
>>35136404
I think it's okay, but then again I don't know why you say what you say.

How about doing SS but just changing the accessories each day?
A1 x B1 x A2 xx
B2 x A3 x B3 xx
A1/B2. Chest accessories.
B1/A3. Back accessories.
A2/B3. Leg accessories.

>>35136404
Care to elaborate? I'd really like to know how to make it better, although this is working just fine at the moment. I was in the army, and it left me weak, so now I'm trying to reach my pre-army strength levels again.

Leg volume is low, but that is okay if you want to maintain your chicken legs.

Too much pressing volume in comparison to horizontal pulling movements, which will turn you into a hunchback because your pec muscles will pull your shoulders in due to weakness in the back. Pulling volume should be 3/2 or 4/2 in comparison to pressing volume.

PPL would be better for you.

>>35136531
Which pull movements are good?
I've never been able to pull as much as I push.
>>
>>35136699
Any type of rowing, especially with a wide grip.
