> 4/10 for Body Builder
> 0/10 for Strength

I guess it's okay if you only care about Hypertrophy, but you will be weaker than anyone who does the Big 4 for 6 months for the entirety of your life. If you care about Strength even a little this is genuinely the worst routine I've ever seen to the point where I can't even comprehend why you think it's a good idea.

But why 2 sets of everything? 3 is the lowest you should go for your Body Building purposes. It should be more like 4-6 sets for what you want for 30+ reps each. I guess if you want to body build but not spend 90+ minutes in the gym it might make sense?

By going to the gym and being male you are automatically stronger that than 97% of the worlds population no matter what you do specializing in strength FURTHER than that is a waste of time

>>76778800
I don't want to be stronger than most people, I want to be stronger than everyone. I want to be Natty and be the Strongest Man on Earth. This neigh unachievable goal gives me a hunger that is lifelong, I will lift until they put me in the ground. I don't lift to be huge or look sexy (though I am and I do).

A side effect of this is the CNS fatigue helps me manage my ADHD (no fidgeting, improves focus) and I can eat whatever I want and still be cut as no amount of calories can ever compensate.

Small moments like lifting a 540 lb wooden beam on my shoulder (he was going to rent a fork lift) and carrying it 600 ft to help my wifes dad is a plus. He won't stop talking about it even years later.

so retarded. 24 sets a day of wasting time and never getting good at anything or hitting a muscle correctly. imagine 24 sets split between a compound lift and 2 accessory lifts a day. so much more progress than doing this hedonistic confused bullshit.
atleast its good cardio running around the gym like a retard

not op but tell me why doing, say, 4 sets of barbell curls would be better than 2 sets of barbell curls + 2 sets of hammer curls. it's just an example but you get the idea. the volume is similar but you get more variety by spreading your sets across more variants.
>>
>>76779195
it wouldn't and you're onto something, spamming a very limited amount of movements will make your adaptations and general strength just as limited

Holy fucking caveman. 6 sets of 30 reps per muscle for bodybuilding in almost 2026 kek

2 intense sets to failure (5-8 rep range) 4 times a week is enough to maximize hypertrophy. Hell, that'd be fine even if he did fullbody 3 times a week (There is not yet much evidence that 3x or 3.5x freq is better than 2x freq tho). Not everyone is a bro split 1x frequency obese roidtranny that does 4 exercises 6 sets each for one muscle group to feel the burn and deep stretch and get microtears or whatever while ignoring like half of their muscle groups

If I were to critique something about OP's split: doing two types of curls that primarily hit the bicep is pointless. You can't bias the two heads, so either just do one curl, or pick something that targets your forearms more if you want two curls.
It seems that you have some kind of an A/B/C split, which I guess is fine (can't be bothered to check for all the differences between each day lol), but I think that less exercise variety is better, so you get really good and really strong at them quicker. You can probs get away with some variety on a 4 day fullbody tho and it kinda depends on preference.

Kinda unrelated but I never understood why people program stuff like 4x a week U/L with Upper A's and B's with completely different exercises, sometimes with completely different functions, thus only doing an exercise once a week. A lot of hypertrophy programs do this for some reason. Even fucking Starting Strength makes you do the same squats 3 times a week.

Also you have no squat or hinge pattern. The program overall seems somewhat messy to me and doesn't really take advantage of having 24 fucking sets per sesh
>>
>>76779571
3-4 per week frequency with the SAME Volume have shown some positive results and it gets even more important the more advanced you are it also allows for higher overall Volume

As for the legs yea 2-3 sets of hack squat would be optimal but I don't really care about growing big legs
>>
>>76779011
24 sets split between 3 lifts is an astronomical amount of junk volume that is not even useful for strength. I guess it works with a cute bro split? If atleast you meant 24 set split between several compounds and some isolations that hit your whole body in that day.

even most of the roided up 30% bf powershitters in my gym are atleast kind enough to only do 3 or 4 sets

>hogging the machines
>using machines in the first place
youre not making it either pal and OP is baiting anyway

You should do fullbody every single day with 6 sets to failure on every exercise
>>
who the fuck does 12 different exercises in a single workout?
>>
>>76779784
What is wrong with it
>>
>>76779784
Keenan Malloy does like 30 lol

A 12 exercise fullbody with low-ish volume in the context of hypertrophy-maxxing probably isn't that crazy as long as you are not doing any redundant exercises and your goal is high frequency for all muscle groups

I personally do a 10 exercise fullbody A/B split and even that is pretty minimalist

My routine goes as follows:

Incline DB bench
Lat pulldown
Flat BB bench (cuz I enjoy it okay chud)
upper back chest supported row
Machine shoulder press
preacher curl
tricep pushdown
Cable lat raise

Then depending on whether it's A or B I do a hack squat and leg curl / leg ext and SLDL
If I were to hit calves and abs, that would already be 12 exercises.

Been considering doing a FBxUL (FB/R/FB/R/U/L/R) split where I'd do the usual FB A/B thing with legs, and then on the lower day, I'd just do all 4 of the leg exercises to hit all of them twice every week. Maybe that's a little too autistic, though.

Just do the big 4 you dont need anything else brah
