Thick's BBing and beer Journal
My routine is a good old fashioned, 5 day BP split. For now it will look like this:
Split
Mon-Arms
Tues-Legs
Wed-Shoulders/Calves
Thurs-Off
Fri-Back
Sat-Chest
The order may be changed as needed.
The focus is continuing to add quality mass, fine tuning weak points, and creating an overall balanced physique. I'm also going to be leaning out a few bf % points over the next few months via a TCD.

start on a full body 3x per week, add body part volume while reducing body part frequency as you progress. It's that friggin simple. It isn't "1 bodypart every 2 weeks for 70 sets" OR "Soviet/Bulgarian each bp 10x per week using 1 exercise each". There are middle grounds.

225x8
275x6
285x4
275x4
225x8
135x12 (feet together)
RDLs

225x8
Leg Press

Comments: Meh. Felt pretty tired all day and struggled a bit. A little weaker than I hoped, but overall not too bad. Back was a little tight, so depending on how it feels next week, I may do less squat volume + more leg press or hacks. We'll see.
Shoulders + calves tonight!

Thanks dude.
Yeah, I like being in the gym 5 days/wk. If I'm pressed for time, sometimes things get condensed and get done in 4.
Not sure what my 1rm max is. If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere around 350. A far cry from the massive amount you're squatting, but I'll get to 4 plates some day.

Dude at one point i was in the gym 6 days/week. It was fkn awesome. Noob gains ftw!
I've realized most of my gains in squatting have come from heavy tripples. Even singles. It seems most people around here shy from getting under weight thats close to PR weight, with a spotter, and grinding out 3 reps.
This is where my strength has come from. Not the 5-10 rep sets.
Furthermore, all these widowmakers everyone is doing now-a-days is rediculous imo. Burns you out, and leaves you almost weaker imo.
Obv. its what works best for you. I wish i could be there to give you a flawless spot on squat man. Its tough to find a good spotter (no homo lol)

I hear you, and I do occasionally do a heavy single, double or triple, but my goal isn't to 1rm max the most I can. Strength comes as a byproduct of my training-it isn't my main goal.
The higher rep sets combined with lower rep sets have worked very well for size gains in my legs.

Haha, it's all good man. I enjoy your perspective, and you obviously have found something that works well, given the numbers you're throwing around.

Nice to see a log from you Thick! Very interesting stuff. Some wicked dips earlier this week.
I got to say it is nice to see a log that is designed for bodybuilding with strength as a "side effect" as opposed to strength increases with a bodybuilding "side effect:. PLs, don't get me wrong, I love picking y'alls brains, but when my goal isn't a one rep max on the big three, some folks find that hadr to deal with.
Count me in as a loyal reader!

I got to say it is nice to see a log that is designed for bodybuilding with strength as a "side effect" as opposed to strength increases with a bodybuilding "side effect:. PLs, don't get me wrong, I love picking y'alls brains, but when my goal isn't a one rep max on the big three, some folks find that hadr to deal with.
Count me in as a loyal reader!

Thanks buddy.
I figured hopefully it would at least show people an alternative way of training that I've found to work very well.
Good to have you on board.

For a HUGE majority of people...
start on a full body 3x per week, add body part volume while reducing body part frequency as you progress. It's that friggin simple. It isn't "1 bodypart every 2 weeks for 70 sets" OR "Soviet/Bulgarian each bp 10x per week using 1 exercise each". There are middle grounds.
