Oh and forgot to add, the basic premise of the routines was to basically get him to train strength twice a week as well as bodybuilding twice a week. I read that protein synthesis stops after about 48 hours so I figured training everything twice a week would offer the best results for a beginner

Seems pretty good, kinda like PHAT I guess. Shoulder work on friday wont be too much since you put 3x5, maybe add in some light ab work on monday

>>37366431
just put him on cube method or smth like that

>>37366431
>curl 5x5
literally why?

do pullups instead

>>37366709
Oh shit, my bad, wanted to put 3x8 lol

your progressive overload seems excessive isnt it meant to be per week not per workout

if he goes 3 times a week he is adding 15 pounds a week he would have a 5 plate deadlift in 6 months

>high rep front squats
Pointless, especially for a beginner. The point of failure will be his ability to hold a front rack position

>>37366738
It is indeed per week, notice how he will only be deadlifting once a week so every workout=every week, should have probably picked week instead of workout to remove any confusion though

>>37366738
Look everyone, someone whose never lifted.

>>37366759
They're not really front squats, he'll be doing zercher squats but front sounded a bit easier to tell him

No triceps? Tf

>>37366779
that's even more retarded

>>37366789
fuck, I knew I forgot something ffs, I'll add some tricep dumbbell extensions on thursday, thanks

>>37366803
How so? Been doing them for the last 8 months and they've been great, I get a lot more hipdrive when doing them

>>37366779
>he'll be doing zercher squats
Why? Is he training for a strongman comp? Zerchers are a total waste of time for someone training for aesthetics. If you want an anterior squatting lift just have him doing 5x3 front squats like a normal person

>>37366827
How about you put him on proven programs that will get aesthetic gains and strength too ? Beyond 5/3/1 or Cube are especially good for this

>>37366849
To be honest, the difference in size gains between a beginner strength routine and a beginner bodybuilding routine will be negligible. There's a reason most serious lifters recommend a very simple routime based around the big 4
Throwing in a load of meme exercises for the sake of it isn't helping

>>37366814
do skull crushes

>>37366901
i totally agree with you but some people do not like those kind of programs, believe some people want variety as stupid as it may sound

which is why i always recommend cube and beyond 5/3/1 for any aesthetic fags because they'll get strong while getting nice hypertrophy gains
