Unless you are a total newb, you will burnout. If you are going to do full body do something like Madcows 5x5 where you are not going all out on a gazillion movements every single session.

Not quite. When I went high fat + high carbs I blew up like crazy, in a bad way. Now I do low-moderate fat, high carbs and high protein, I seem to be able to stay lean despite eating 500 calories...

I think its fine. Assistance exercises are there to assist your main lifts, do whatever helps you. Personally I need more time under an actual barbell for my bench to progress, so I do pause close...

You will look better after a cut. I'd say you are over 20% body fat, but by all means keep bulking if you are content with how you are looking.

You are still going to try make PRs every session using 5/3/1, PR doesn't have to be the in the form of weight all the time, you can make rep PRs also. I think this is the philosophy behind 5/3/1.

I notice that you do GHR instead of SLDL on squat day most of the time, do you do this to prevent lower back fatigue on Deadlift day ? I went crazy on the SLDL two days ago and my Deadlifts felt way...

Do OHP to the front as your main lift. You can do behind the neck press for your accessory lift if you want to or have the flexibility to do so, but most people aren't flexible. Ted Arcidi (the first...

Just hit the required reps for that particular cycle only or for every cycle after that as well ? What if I can do more ?

On the last set you will go for as many reps as possible

If you keep this up you'd be repping 4 plates on squats soon lol. Btw the way I'm second week into your program, today I squatted 5kgs more than what I did last time for the same number of reps....

Hey man I am on that program too. I think you are doing a bit too much volume for this frequency. You are doing like 8 sets of tricep work on both bench and OHP days, this is probably why you are...

Does the pause bench on ohp day serve a particular purpose or can it be substituted with dips or any other pressing?

That's a good thing. You don't want to be struggling for 5 reps on your second week

You probably have a muscle imbalance. Start doing more biceps or just pulling movements in general.

What are your thoughts on high volume full body routines that old school guys like Reg Park (inb4 Ethan) did back in the days ? Here's an example taken from Reg Park's website before it closed down....

Well if you've been doing inclines for a while and not seeing the gains you are looking for, then it doesn't hurt to try something else. Otherwise, keep doing what you are doing.

What about me ? I think I have high insertion because Incline Bench never did anything for me in terms of size or strength but whenever my military press increases my bench goes up with it.
...

You're over thinking it man. I just started Push Pull Legs myself, on each day I make sure I do atleast 3 (sometimes 4) good compound movements before going into isolations. I don't have a specific...

Isn't it just another form of intermittent fasting ? I've tried Leangains (a popular IF method), didn't make a difference. Just eat your food man, we aren't living in the caveman era.

Its just as "proven" as any other routine out there
