UPPER BODY:>ANTAGONIST SUPER SETS >BENT OVER BARBELL ROWS/PUSH UPS (can do weighted)>BENCH PRESS/INVERTED ROWS (can do weighted)And don't forget: if your squat stands are good enough you can set them high enough to do pullups so you don't even need a separate pullup bar.But even if you don't wanna do super sets, you can still use the same method as with legs and get your rest times down to 1.5-2 min in which case 5 sets of push + 5 sets of pull will take less than 20 FUCKING MINUTES LOLLEGS:>ALL YOU NEED is A SQUAT + A SLDL/GOOD MORNING (especially good if you dont have enough plates yet). >Conventional, not hinge-biased deadlift is either a waste of time or a way to save even more time. So either dont have it at all or ONLY deadlift in which case it's gonna be a SHITTY SQUAT + SHITTY HINGE which when done at least twice a week adds up to ONE PROPER SQUAT + ONE PROPER HINGE>Do 5x5-10 reps WITH THE SAME WEIGHT >Don't progress sets or reps or weight>Progress how little you rest. >Shave off>Get down to at least 3 minCongrats, you are now a WORK MACHINE that gets 5 sets of legs done in ~20 min.So your leg day now takes 40 minutes..

>How is training going?>How's the rest of life going?I've been raping myself with work. Putting a stop to that. Not even to do more training, just to actually be able to do other tasks and longer-term projects.Was completely fucking exhausted this weekend and still did a bunch of creative work on Sunday. I think I haven't trained in 4 days now and probably won't today.Tomorrow should be easy now so maybe then. Or I'll use it to finally get done with the backlog of small tasks that accumulated.I feel a bit better today than on previous days and I've been wanting to do some heave fucking squats for a while but there's just no energy for that shit atm.
>>77553067post body
And there he is. Spamming his canned posts as always.
A: Squat + Bench s/s RowB: Deadlift + Press s/s Chinups- Can do [ABA, BAB], ABAB, or double up on squats and just do ABA- Cardio: off days or every day, unlike strength training you really can't get enough easy/z2 volume- Progression schemes, in rough order of training level: LP, double progression, pure RPE training, alternate volume/heavy weeks, or 531- Recommend lower set/reps for lower body and more for upper bodyAnything less isn't enough, anything more is a waste of time.
>>77553129Solid. Though this is more of a general strength plan and it's good for those phases. For hypertrophy phase I'd replace deadlift with SLDL and press with high incline bench.
Gonna try that low volume strength for lower body + high(er) volume hypertrophy for the upper body.Sounds fun and I'm the kind of person to always need to lift heavy, at least 5 reps close to failure so that appeases my inner demons of strength
Get a blog asshole
>NOOOOOO!!! DON'T DISCUSS FITNESS ON A FITNESS BOARD!!! Retard.
so a few years ago I shifted entirely to MET (primarily weighted calisthenics) but I think I had cervical stenosis for some time now, probably for like 2 years, so I'm guessing that's it for pullups, dips and anything interesting for a long time, I've been trying to work with heavy resistance bands, it's not that bad, but ofc it's a desperate measurenot training for a couple of weeks didn't do much, I'll be seeing a neurosurgeon soon, wish me luck brehs
>>77553285>cervical stenosistl;dr?
>>77553319His cervix got stiffened up. Makes it harder to insert anything more than 5-6" in the male vagina. Hence the need for a nuerosurgeon.
>>77553067Hey man, what sort of results does this yield? Im looking to make my training more efficient
>>77553330>Hey man, what sort of results does this yield?Stupidest beginner question one can ask.>hey how much money will I make if I start a business?? :)This is how retarded it sounds.>Im looking to make my training more efficientMETT is all about efficiency. And you yourself can choose how much to turn that tumbler to the efficiency side vs effectiveness side.
>>77553334No need to be rude you monumental faggot. Okay ill rephrase my question thenWill I be dyel if I do this sort of training?
>>77553285permanent pain and discomfort somewhere between the scapulas / occasional flare ups that hurt like fuck / pain radiating into arms
>>77553357>>77553319oops, sorry, meant to reply to this
>>77553334What an unnecessarily harsh response to a normal question.>>77553330The honest answer is you won't get a physique anybody is impressed by, but you might be able to improve your resting heartrate and things like that. It's a "for your health" thing not a "for looks" thing. It's why nobody posts body here.
>trolls the easiest to annoy autist on the website by simply replying to his threadNever gets old btw
>>77553249I think their complaint might be that you are the only person who posts in this thread, effectively making the thread "your blog," not that your thread is about fitness they don't like specifically.
>>77553067is METT your own invention?
>>77553334Hey OP kill yourself. How do expect people to not troll you when you act like a massive dickhead?
>>77553409Fair enough. The lack of body posting does make me question the method a bit i guess. Ill just stick to my regular training
>>77553346Absolutely fucking not. To give you an idea when I started training and did pretty much the most retarded ultra-minimal routine imaginable (1-3 sets per week per movement and the movements were: super easy pushup variation, *supported* body weight squat variation, inverted rows, some retarded easy bridge variation) I still made gains. Granted they were super slow but basically at the cost of 10-15 min *per week* I gained 20+ lb of muscle over something like 4 years.If you follow something actual intelligent like the guidelines in the first post you can totally make optimal gains in your first couple of years simply because of how sensitive beginners are to gains (assuming decent diet).Past beginner stage you basically want to aim at 10 sets as a golden middle. More is usually better but not by that much. So 5 quick sets per muscle group twice a week is the sweet spot (close to failure obviously). Good thing about this general rule is if you miss second sessions for all of your muscle groups you still got 5 sets per week per muscle which is usually enough for growth (at that point just go to failure on all and end with partials).So basically it's only when you're 7-10 years of consistent training in and are now fighting for maybe 1 lb of muscle per year is when METT may make further gains impossible. But even then - you can simple switch most of your training to maintenance and focus on say legs or arms+shoulders and do a fuckton of sets for them. You'll still be growing.So yeah for most people it's the thing to do.
>>77553550what sports and position did you play in high school and college? now?
This >>77553409 is the troll OP is warning about by the way. Total 100% horseshit. You can most definitely get to a point where you mog almost all gym goers. When you hit the advanced phase is when you'll need to either do specialization phases within METT or simply add sets. Btw this is where the work capacity you built up doing low rest work sets will pay off bigly.
>>77553421The problem with "their" (your) "complaint" is that it's not true even remotely. Like all your other posts.
>>77553447It's a term that I coined but obviously the idea of minimalist workouts or time saving workout has existed for as long as training has existed.And the techniques and methods I as well as others have outlined we got from listening to a lot of extremely experienced coaches, scientists and from applying them to our own training.The thing I would take credit for if anything is the idea of finger calisthenics. It's massive improvement compared to conventional calisthenics the way it's usually recommended.
>>77553553>what sports and position did you play in high school and college?Mostly soccer but not seriously. Some basketball here and there. Right now too busy to do sports (hence METT) but couple years ago did mma and planning to go back to martial arts when I free myself up a bit.Amazing fucking way to do cardio btw
busy-anon from last thread here.Gotta say 1-1.5h of videogames after a bout of work and then a nice sesh of lifting before another bout of work is the combo. The amount of stress you simply vaporize is unbelievable - especially if you're challenging your cardio also.If I had just played vidya those extra 1:10 I wouldn't be nearly as calm and unbothered right now.Anyway did 2x5x230 lb followed by a set of 3 (shitty technique, could've done more). 6:45 rests, 15 s down from last time. Will get to 3x5 at this weight and then move on. Great 3 sets of nordics also.
>>77553571Ah, a dyel. Carry on.
>77553607nice try baiter
just do 10 count burpees for 30 mins a few times a week
>>77553629>just do <shit cardio that's not even lifting>Nah if you have at least 3x30 min per week you should lift for 1-2 of them and do high intensity cardio for 1-2 of them depending on what you care about more.These hybrid bullshit exercises that are shit at both are a WASTE OF FUCKING TIME.
>>77553067>>God King tier: barbell + stands + benchThe overwhelming majority of people who do home gym look like shit and don't workout nearly as much as people who commit to a gym ritual.
>>77553607>>77553620oops, my curry fingers slipped
>>77553550You gained that much muscle from that minimal training?
>>77553067Is that image supposed to depict the gains I can make on your dyel program? Lol, lmao even
just merge this thread with /hgg/it's basically the same thing anyway
Daily reminder that op has never (ever) posted body Really makes you think Really gets the noggin joggin
Sagefag thinks he can larp as multiple people if he takes the name off kek
>>77553557>You can most definitely get to a point where you mog almost all gym goers.(this is the point where you post body to prove your point)
>he still thinks it's one person>he still can't tell the difference between a sage and a bump>he still hasn't posted body because he's DYELtop kek, stay deluded bloganon
>>77553762Fake news.
>>77553843Absolutely. And my diet wasn't even that good in terms of protein. But really you should expect to gain that much with more like 2 years of good training
>>77554129I mean it basically includes hgg anyways. Hgg could never work as a general because there's never gonna be enough people to keep posting their home gyms
>>77555060>keep posting their home gymswhy would anyone keep uploading the same image thread after thread year after year
>>77555060>Hgg could never work as a general because there's never gonna be enough people to keep posting their home gymsnobody does here either lmao
>>77555194Exactly. Which is why hgg only appears about once a year and then fucks off for another year. It makes no sense as a separate general
>>77555364No, it works fine for DIY ideas or work arounds for unique setups to mimic a machine or niche piece of gym equipment. I have trusted and followed an anon's review/recommendation/technique here and will continue to do so before I'd ever listen to some jewish hack on youtube or elsewhere. There is no reason for>here's my dogshit walmart trt 47 yo dumbbell garage>here's my fat wife>here's my disco ball>here's my boulder>here's my one (1) 20kg kb>here's my dart board>here's my 300 year old barnevery thread. Update if something actually changed. We know who you are. Just post lifting shit (this kills the OP).
