What do you recommend instead? I kinda want to use freeweights so I don't gimp myself by relying on machines?
>>
>>36997692
relax you are new , stick to that program t for a couple of months to get your body used to exercise and then you can move to free weights
>>
>>36997723
you want compound movements like putting deadlifts in your back day, squats and overhead press in your leg day, and bench press on your chest day. those are the ticket to widespread development throughout muscle groups and having good strength all around. do them first in the workout
>>
>>36997875
Thanks. What's a good number of reps per set for each of those?
>>
>>36997692
the gym manager is an idiot, there's all sorts of shit in there you don't need, it's not a waste of time but it's not efficient either

i think you should read the sticky

Fucking retarded. The only real split is PPL. On Day A you're working triceps with all those chest pushing exercises. And then you're working them again the next workout. Change it to chest and triceps, then back and biceps.

>>36997901
What should I replace then?

>>36997897
5 for squats and deads, 8 for bench and overhead press is what i do. Some here may say 5 for all.
>>
>>36997692
If you're new to lifting entirely, then you want to start off with something like:
AxBxAxx BxAxBxx

A:
Bench 5x5
OHP 5x5
Tricep Pushdown 3x8

B:
Squat 5x5
Deadlift 5x5
Pullup 3xf

To get started.

After a couple months, and seeing some functional strength gains, then you can switch to a bro-split (which is how you attain body in your pic):

ABCDExx

A: Shoulders, including
OHP
Arnold press
Shrugs
Barbell raises
etc

B: Back & light Bi's, including
Deadlift
Pulldowns
Pullups
Curls
etc

C: Chest and light Tri's, including
Bench press
Flyes
Pushdowns
etc

D: Legs, including
Squats
Leg press
GHR
etc

E: Arms, including
Curls
Pushdowns
etc

Working triceps on all days is really bad for a beginner you can do it later on but starting off I don't think it's a good idea
>>
Guys what will I look like if I keep doing this routine.. I've been working out for the past ~4 months.

Bench - Currently at about 130-135lbs 5x5

Incline Dumbell - Currently at about 5x4 45lbs each hand

Overhead Press - Recently started I'm about 5x3 50lbs

Upright Rows - I do about 5x5

Lat Pull Down - 80lbs i do a lot of these, I don't really think of a number...

Pull Ups - I try to get a few good ones in but I still can barely do them

Farmer Walks - I do these to exhaustion

For legs I just focus on calves by doing a lot of jump rope, for some reason my thighs are already thick as fuck and I don't want to look weird in jeans. I'm just at the very least trying to get to a decent V-taper asap.

I'm just trying to improve my physique where I think it needs the most work. I know it's a stupid workout. But I can do it consistently with my weird schedule (at least 3 times a week)

Bruh... this is really bad.

50lbs OHP is horrible unless you're a girl. Add lateral raises for support, also probably seated overhead press (dumbbells)

To do more pullups, add wide grip and narrow grip pulldowns as well as over and underhand.

I assume you're targeting forearms because of the farmer's walks, which are pretty much pointless by themselves. Add supplementation to these if you're looking for forearm gains.

Do squats regardless, I guarantee your thighs won't get any bigger; it helps with core and glutes.

Focusing on calves by doing cardio is pretty much autismal. Do calf raises instead.

Is this summer /fit/? Literally every routine in this thread is terrible. One guy recommends a shitty version of ss with no accessories and then says after a couple of months do a terrible bro split.

Sometimes when I'm not too fatigued in terms of biceps, I'll ad some curls just to squeez out whatever energy I have left

That's what happens when trappy leaves for the weekend.
>>
>>36998455
Looks okay. I don't really like the idea of chins+dips every day. I think it'd be better served to do triceps+dips on A and chins+curls on B. YMMV, IANAB.

>>
>>36998455
This is good, maybe a bit too much volume with chins and dips everyday. You should probably remove dips from day A since you're hitting chest twice already.
>>
>>36998493

Not with OP's routine. At least not in the first decade.
>>
>>36998495
That's what I was thinking, too.

My tris usually feel pretty fatigued by the time I get to dips on workout A. So I usually just do then unweighted (I do weighted dips on workout B, forgot to mention).

I'll try taking them out of workout A for a while and see how I feel
>>
>>36998489
>im pretty fat
He is literally brand new to lifting. And his routine doesn't introduce him to 3/4 of the major lifts every beginner should be doing.
>>
>>36998495
Just do tricep dips as opposed to chest.
>>
A:
Diddy 5/3/1
Front Squat 4x8
Calf Raises 3x15-20
Hanging Leg Raises 3xF

B:
Push Press 5/3/1
Weighted Chins 3x5
DB Row 4x8
Dips 4xF
Face Pulls 3x12-15

C:
Squat 5/3/1
Snatch Grip DL 4x8

Hanging Leg Raises 3xF

D:
Pendlay Row 5/3/1
Weighted Dips 3x5
Military Press 4x8
Pullups 4xF
Face Pulls 3x12-15

When I write 5/3/1, I mean the proper periodized 5/3/1 progression.

>inb4 no binch
I dislike the bench. I don't compete in PL. I don't want a huge chest. I get good chest involvement with dips.

i literally could not do B without getting burnt out mid way

i can't even squat and dl on the same day

>>36998542
Well I'm not doing heavy weights yet, so I can get through the workout. By the time I'm able to actually squat and diddly some heavier weights, I'll probably switch it up.
>>
>>36998533
>Snatch Grip DL
Have you found this to be a good supplement to your normal deadlift? I know you're supposed to go lighter with them, but I've never tried. Does it target different muscles?
>>
>>36998606

Same muscles, but puts a lot more strain on your back and grip strength.
>>
>>36998704

Very nice. Will add. Thanks.

Most people just hookgrip or use straps though. It's very difficult to hold the bar when you go wide.

I'm currently 5'10 160lb at ~10%BF.
My lifts are
Bench: 190
Squat: 245
Deadlift: 280
The Press: 115x3/100x6
Chinup: +50x8/+75x3

I haven't squated or diddlyed since february since I already had relatively big legs proportionaly, but I've recomped a bit and am working them back into the program.

I've been inconsistently lifting about 3 days a week for the past three months, and have been getting decent gainz the whole time. I want to have more trackable linear progression by having a set program. Does this look good? I might up the volume to 4 times a week during summer because conditions will be more ideal (more free time to eat/lift).

Posted a thread for this, but might as well post it here too... this is a routine I worked up as a follow-up to my 6+ months of a 3 day full body split. Will this get me sick gains?

Mixed grip are easier on the joints and more evenly train the bicep and brachialis.

Wrist curls are for forearm aesthetics, not grip strength.

how does that fucking matter? you want some size on your forearms don't you? wouldn't it make sense to choose the best exercise to achieve this?

Noted your suggestion on farmers walks rather than wrist curls.

What is a good routine for a beginner whose primary goal is aesthethics? I wanted to start with SS but a lot of people around here say that routine is not good for that.

Or should I put aesthethics to a side for now and do SS anyways?
>>
>>37002950
suck a lot of dicks
seriously
>>
>>37003037
What did I do now?
>>
A
Back squat: 3x10
Bench press: 3x10
Pull ups: try to fit X number of pull ups in 3 sets then increase X
Push ups: 3xF (might do dips instead)
Plank: 3x 40 seconds
Seated Russian twists: 3x25

B
Front squat: 3x10
Dumbbell row:3x10
Standing press: 3x10 (going to switch this because I suck at these)
Deadlift: 3x10

A again

C
Seated calf raise: 3x10
Upright row: 3x10
Palms down wrist curl over bench: 3x10 (might switch with farmer walks)
Reverse curls: 3x10 (might switch in with a back exercise)
Barbell curl: 3x10

Do SS for a month or two then do greyskull till all your lifts are intermediate on symmetricstrength.com

PPLPPLx
or AxBxAxx

AxBxAxB
BxAxBxA

A)
Squat: 3x5 (Alternate Back/Front squat weekly)
Bench: 3x5 (Alternate Barbell/Dumbbell weekly)
Close-Grip Bench: 3x8 (Can do extensions or skullcrushers instead)
Leg Press: 5x5 (Use this for calf work also)
Pull-ups: 3xF (Do these weighted if you can)
Cardio: 30 minutes minimum moderate intensity

B)
Deadlift: 1x5
OHP: 3x5 (Alternate Barbell/Dumbbell weekly)
Lateral Raises: 3x8 (Do other raises periodically)
Rows: 5x5 (Alternate Barbell/Dumbbell weekly)
Cardio: 30 minutes minimum moderate intensity

Either add weight ( 1-3 pounds, 0.5-1.5kg ) to each lift each week or push for more reps if small increments elude you, and add 4-7 pounds or 2.5-5kg per month.

Do 3-4 warm up sets before your working sets:
1: 25% working weight 8 reps
2: 40% working weight 6 reps
3: 60% working weight 4 reps
4: 80% working weight 2 reps

Before doing anything, when you first enter the gym you shoulder grab some Dumbbells around 15 lbs (7kg) and loosen your wrists by rotating them in your hands, prepare them for pain.

Proceed to do a full body dynamic stretching routine and get yourself nice and limber.

Don't skimp out on cardio like some curlbro, there's a myriad of cardiovascular benefits that'll transfer into out efficiently you can lift.

Well I'm currently at
117.5kg squat
155kg deadlift
90kg bench
57.5kg ohp

that's all for working sets.

And I just haven't found a routine I like with the Texas method, the volume seems too low, and I want a 4 day routine at least.
pic related is the closest to the sort of routine that I'm looking for though

If calves were genetic, tell me why fat fuckers always have bigger calves than anyone else? Or are you saying being fat is genetic too?

I currently do ABCABC

Is AxBxCxx worth it

They say the 2nd you'll actually make more gains
>>
>>37006262

Depends on your current level of experience lifting. If you are relatively new (less than 2 years training seriously) and natty, you need rest days.
Do AxBxCxx, otherwise it's counterproductive

Has anyone had success programming power cleans into Madcow instead of rows? If so, what set/reps? I'm assuming 3x5, or maybe 3x3 then a heavy single on Fridays?

Can you guys help me to improve my routine?
Is it ok to do OHP everytime (I just love doing it)
>>
>>37011955
Doing it 5x5 at 75-85% of your 1rm everytime will hinder your progress. If you want to do it often, you have to periodize it. Do it twice a week at most; one day you go all out 5x5 as your first exercise. The second time you do it 3x8 after benching.
>>
>>37012182
Thanks for the advice, seems reasonable!

Soon as I saw this routine I knew it'd get shit on by the majority of /fit/ who swear that everyone should stick with a compound focused routine supplemented with isolations as needed...

Not going to bother with a drawn out explanation as to why the routine you posted is just fine for your first year, but trust me, it is. My only tip would be that about 6 months in you're going to need to up the volume (amount of different sets) a bit. As is you're doing 15-18 total sets, 3 times per week. After those 6 months of training you should find that you can handle a good bit more than that, not to mention you will be long past the point of having frequent doms/soreness. For example you'll see that most fitness enthusiasts on youtube and other non-powerlifters tend to do a combined total of 28-32 sets of 8-12 reps each, spread among 2 muscle groups each workout. And they train 5-6 days a week, in other words twice as much as you do, and still aren't omg bodybuilder huge.

But give that existing routine a go for 4-6 months, godspeed, and just remember that there are a lot of ways to skin a cat.

not him, but why o people say that routine is so important? Just cause it builds a basic base, right?
>>
>>37006245
whats your bodyweight? If you are 80+kg you may have some linear gains left, otherwise 5/3/1 boring but big might be more of your taste or the juggernaut method

possibly tinytrip? i think?
