Perfect thread. Thanks poofI've been doing and upper/lower strength routine for a few years. I've hit the numbers I want but now I'm fat. I want to swap to bodybuilding to a) lose 20lbs and b) get bigger arms and chest. I just started ppl but damn, doing a whole workout using pulling or pushing muscles creates such a drop in performance from the start to the end of the workout. Just keep at it and stop bitching and I'll increase capacity?
I'm posting my routine and I don't need feedback>work piss easy job for 10-12 hours a day at $56/hour due to government job>spend all day in sun talking to gym bunny coworkers>be 140lb, food doesn't even cross my mind>be 9% body fat>do chinups and pullups when I walk by the pipes in my garage, pushups when I wake up>mow lawn and linetrim, garden and clean house, ontop of the physical labour i do at work>live 5 mins from beach, spend all weekend swimming and chatting up dumb sheilas

PPLF, Push Pull Lower Funday. Funday is important. I do whatever the fuck I feel like there, mostly shoulders and arms but sometimes its an extra back day or some esoteric workout

>>75368522
>>75368553You are trying to lose weight so I assume you are eating below maintenance in which case it's normal to have a drop in strength. But also even within PPL you should have some variety of muscles used each workout and avoid redundancies. Without seeing your exact routine we can't say if that's an issue for you though. >>75368677Nice never skip funday but also you could incorporate it into your regular routine by just changing things up a lot rather than having a whole workout for that>>75368689Nothing for quads? I would play with them a little bit because you'll be using them a lot once you're ready for a real routine>>75369412There are a lot of redundancies here. You don't need to hit chest with four different workouts on chest day and you don't need five different rows on back day. Pick the ones you want to focus on for now, do them until they get boring, then swap for the others. Imo you have too many workouts each day too you just focus on less and you'll be able to go heavierThis is mine I've been working on.

>>75370820I'd bench press first on B day for safety reasons. The upper back muscles are what keep your shoulder in a safe position on the bench press, so you don't want to go in fatigued. C day might be tough to complete as the weights increase, it might be worth adding either squats/deadlifts to a different day or only doing one of them per week. If you train hard you can alternate squats and deadlifts weekly and make progress. If you can handle the workload I wouldn't change that though.
>>75370835That's not a bad idea, my bench has been my weakest lift and maybe that's why. I don't train DL or Squats that hard. Thanks for the tips.

Nobody in this thread has actually posted and progressions, which just confirms /fit/ is 99% dyels with <1 year of training experience.Like look at this shit>>75370820DROP SETTING WEIGHT RING DIPS.First of all NOBODY does ring dips weighted. It's a movement for gymnasts. Thats your first mistake.Now lets assume you somehow manage 5 reps with 10kg. Now your going to drop weight to what, bodyweight? Assuming you weigh 80kg, Your basically going from a 90kg lift to a 80kg lift. Your going to get 2 reps maybe and then your done. You can't drop set weighted dips.Hilariously, you even have weighted pullups in your routine which would be EVEN harder to drop set. And your doing sets of 5 with fucking CURLS. How are you ever going to progress? Your going to add 2.5kg now all of a sudden you lost a rep because going from curling 40kg to 42.5kg is actually big increase. Thats the kind of progress you would be happy with to get in a month.Why in gods name would you do zercher deadlifts AFTER deadlifts and your STILL doing squats before that AND bulgarian split squats afterwards. Either your using 50% of your max here or you will simply not be able to complete this workout.Just give up homie and do literally any program by someone who looks like they lift.
>>75370918No thanks, I'm happy with my wonky program.
>>75370961So how exactly does a session look with weights? Because I already explained to you how much of a trainwreck this is.

>>75372636>>30>>20>>10nothing wrong with this6 sets of 5 are dyel though he'd be better off building up his cardio
In no particular order:Swim dayBicycle dayRun dayLift day 1: push ups, weighted squats, rdl, hip thrustsLift day 2: inverted bodyweight row, zelcher squat, backwards lunges with dumbbells, kettlebell swings1-2 rest days.Bonus: sometimes I squeeze in an extra core workout: crunches, flat leg raises, planks.
>>7537313330 reps is endurance, anything above 5 gets into endurance territory and won't stimulate myofibrillar growth. It will just stretch the sacroplasms to fit more glycogen fuel in them. If you take a few weeks off lifting you'll lose your "gains" because they were just sacroplasmic bloat. That's what noobs mean by "hypertrophy." There's two types of hypertrophy, sacroplasmic and myofibrillar. Myofibrillar is actual new muscle fiber growth. Sacroplasmic is just the hose around them that fuels them, high reps training just stuffs those with sugar and while it does make the muscles look more puffed up, it's not permanent muscle gain and it's not strong, it's enduring. Do low reps to failure, around 5 reps, and you really don't benefit from doing more than one failure set. If you need a warmup or two so be it, but don't fatigue your max. If your warmup causes your max to be lower, you won't hit as high of a weight to failure. Overload stimulates myofibrillar growth. Stop saying hypertrophy, you noobs say it wrong anyway. Hyper and trophy don't suddenly get pronounced different because they're together.

>>75372308How you increase the weight over time is the key to every successful program. If you don’t write any progression into your program I’m just going to assume you randomly add weight, but it’s impossible to know if it’s every session or every week or month or whatever.If you have a set rep scheme that is like 3x5-8 it’s implied you start with a weight you can do for between 5 and 8 reps, and when you get 8 reps or more you add weight and when you get less than 5 you either remove weight or keep it next session. That is a sensible approach to programming. Since most of the routines posting here miss that very important part I can only assume they are all noobs.

>>75373266I think that's implied unless stated otherwise. And it's a separate aspect of working out from the routine itself. People are posting the things they want feedback on but yeah if they don't know they should be progressing then noob
>>75374131I mean there are like half a dozen people here posting their 5x5 curl routines, I think its pretty clear for them its not implied.
>>75374293no shit, because they state otherwise.Do you think people who just post the exercises without set/reps are doing 1RM for everything and calling it a day? Or is it more likely they're doing the common sense thing that you described? When I was a noob I remember one of the first things I learned was to always get at least 8 reps in a set

They won't.

>>75374465You should start with compound movements then go to isolations. on Pull day you start with hammer curl which is isolation, you can swap it with the row or pull-down. Move chest press up on push day for the same reason. Leg day is fine in this regard. On leg day if you don't want to do thrusts you can see if you can do 45 degree back extensions at your gym to target similar muscles

>>75370271For your leg days, squat AND deadlift is too much. It also doesn't really make sense that both of your leg days are hell but your pull days especially 1 are a joke.Just do deadlifts on Pull 1 and drop the deadlifts from your leg days. I would also drop leg extensions from 1 of your leg days and hit some other part that you never hit like adductors or glutes.Active rest days are also bullshit. If your working hard enough, you earned your rest. Unless you have some specific reason you need to/want to do cardio, skip it or it will just make you want to stop training.
>>75368522Switched from 3x/week fullbody a couple weeks ago to 4x/week UL. Shifted some minor stuff around to lower day to even out session lengths, and also added a little bit of arms on second lower day, probably should add shoulders to that too. So far so good I think, but need to give it 6-8 weeks to be sure.Everything on Upper days is 4 working sets, Lower days everything is 5 working sets, except for the added arms (4 sets).

>>75376296true muscle with no endurance is useless muscleLearnt this the hard way, I used to only do 3x5 on my compounds and at some point the progress slowed down and I unironically felt a lot of friction inside the muscle while contracting, like my contractile units were too big for the sarcoplasm.Since then, I started doing more volume and I can use my strength and increase super consistently every time I train.Might depend on genetics wether you can get big off low reps but in my case it wasnt enough

>>75381242bump for some brohelp
I do a lot of stuff by feel so this is a very un-rigid sort of program. Rep ranges are approximate and not hard and fast rules, and I occasionally fuck around with choosing different intensities at the start of a cycle that might land me outside the listed ranges. The actual performance targets I end up setting for myself are based on estimated reps-in-reserve (3 or fewer on week 1).All exercises start at 2 sets apiece for straight sets, and 1 top set plus 2 rounds of myoreps for exercises listed as being done with myoreps. I add a set or round of myoreps to a lift going into my next week of training if I'm not getting sore (or sore enough) from the volume I'm doing. I know two sets per muscle per session is low but at least for now I seem to respond to it.I also add either a rep to my first set or 5 pounds to the weight and try to match reps week-over-week. I generally deload every fourth week.Push ABench 8-12 repsCable Side Lateral Raises 8-12 reps (top set and pseudo-myoreps: I do one arm at a time and whenever I finish an arm I go right into the next round of myos with the other arm)Cable Triceps Pushdowns 8-12 reps (top set with myoreps)Standing Calf Raises 15-20 repsHigh-bar Squats 6-10 repsPull ACable Rows 10-15Shrugs 10-20Seated Incline DB Curls 8-12Cable Straight Arm Pulldowns 8-15 (top set with myoreps)RDLs 8-12Push BIncline DB Bench 10-15Cable Upright Rows 8-12Cable Overhead Triceps Extension 8-15 (top set with myos)Standing Calf Raises 20-30High-bar Squats 10-15Pull BLat Pulldown 10-15Seated Incline DB Curls 15-30 (top set with myos)Shrugs 20-30RDL 10-15I should probably be getting both a horizontal and a vertical pull per-session instead of per-week (same with a flat and an incline push). I deliberately don't do anything dedicated for glutes cause I'm still dieting off excess fat and my ass doesn't need to be bigger right now.
>>75372456Good routine
I do a modified version of Bill Starr's 5x5 SSS routine.>Back squats replaced with front squats>Bench replaced with OHP>Leg assistance work replaced with ab/core assistance work
