Misc, why do most people on fullbody routines look like chit ? srs

[Groce]

upper lower split hitting each muscle 2x a week = GOAT routine

[Sapporo]

this makes no sense either.

ss is only supposed to be for 3-4 months and supposed to get you to a decent enough strength base, you know like a 600 total or whatever, not make you look like kai greene

I know, SS is a good program for people who start lifting and combined with the bulk you can gain very fast.

[BENNAYBOY]

Op is dumb as fuk. Full body routines are beginner routines. OP is essentially asking why people on beginner lifting routines look like beginner lifters.

[Vikingmiscer]

I just started after 3 months injured
thoughts on routine?


monday - squat, bench, deadlift, OPH, chin up, bb row, skullcrushers, curl
tuesday - rest
wednesday - squat, bench, deadlift, OPH, chin up, bb row, skullcrushers, curl
thursday - rest
friday - - squat, bench, deadlift, OPH, chin up, bb row, skullcrushers, curl
saturday - rest
sunday - - squat, bench, deadlift, OPH, chin up, bb row, skullcrushers, curl
monday - rest

etc


Will do this for 6 months then consider going on push/pull/rest

CNS fatigue not even once.

[YasiinBey]

been doing SS for almost a year now op you judge

[S.C]

strong stereotype

[tekno17]

Lots of good info on here.

Also to clarify, I did not mean Fullbody vrs Brosplits. I meant fullbody vrs Upper/Lowers or 3on1off routines like (Push PUll Legs, etc).

[YasiinBey]

CNS fatigue not even once.

what is this cns fatigue

i deadlift 2x a week on my max for at least 1 set

[Bapsman]

Because their beginners brah
I'm on upper lower Phat, best routine I've ever ever done

[BBlifestyleFTW]

Everyone always saying do SS, or Strong Lifts, or Madcows 5x5, or ICF 5x5. But all the dudes sayin it, or people with progress threads on them look like chit lol.
But bros on splits (Not just brosplits, i mean like Upper/Lowers or Push Pull LEgs etc) look way better. Why is dis? Becayse of difference in volume?
And why would fullbody be reccomended?

I would completely disagree

[SmarterChild]

After seeing all this stuff about nattys making better gains on full body I'm gonna give it a shot next week

[risingphoenix73]

nub doing full body routines checking in.

op's a *******.

[AvgLifter]

Diet....some people, not all, just don't care.

[jd29]

how the hell do you guys have the time to do a full body routine?

[syth1230]

deadlifts are the only excercise i would consider CNS fatigue in, theres a reason why you can lift so much weight with the deadlift, cos that **** uses every muscle in your body.
Doing max effort deadlifts 4 times a week is simply unrealistic.

[mirroraddict]

Bro split brah checking in. Always loved bro split more than full body (which I did in my first year of lifting)


Gonna experiment with a version of PPL I have designed tho, if I see gains I'll stick to that.

[mirroraddict]

how the hell do you guys have the time to do a full body routine?

I remember I did an EIGHTY-FIVE sets full body workout once just for kicks.. Was in the gym for 3 hours straight and almost fainted by the end.

[Mark_O.]

so much anaware ITT.
basic exercise-science not even once

[Lvu5ever]

Did bro splits for 2 years on and off. Full body for close to a year now. Full body owns it every time 100% srs.

Strength and aesthetics are much better

[PuTangSlayer]

But who was PHAT?
You guys are doing it wrong.

[mirroraddict]

this guy does full body thrice a week

[whiskeysticks]

been doing SS for almost a year now op you judge

Just curious, are you eating as many calories as the book recommends? I feel like I would turn into a whale.

[mirinryan]

i just like doing it based around a main lift, pump in some movement specific accessories some body part things to boost some volume and hit each main lift once every 3 days ish.

i dont have a real headturning phsyique but i make some gains. It takes time but as long as you are putting weight on the bar and doing more reps you can only be getting bigger

[mirinryan]

There's a lot to be said for this "mechanism". IMO the main reason people who are into various non-standard approaches to training and diet look like **** is because they tried the standard approaches, like everyone does when they start, got phucking nowhere and so started looking for other things that might work. The joke's on them because nothing will work, obviously.

It's the same reason people say "lol dat guy he change his routine all ze time dats why he no gains", when obv IRL people change their routine because they're not seeing gains, not the other way around. Srs, as if anyone would think, "aw man I'm getting all kinds of jacked on this here program... I better phucking do something completely different!"

And, even more lol-worthy, the idea that people don't progress because they don't add weight to the bar or don't "use progressive overload" in some way. Mind = blown, in real tea you do have to actually get "stronger" before you can add weight/volume, not the other way around.


srs, we get a lot of chit ass backwards around here. In the end, with the right genetics it doesn't matter how someone trains at all, within the realms of acceptable and popular routines at least. What that person decides to endorse as the best way to train depends on what he read about and who persuaded him to their way of thinking, what forum he started on, etc.







Well that's the definition of a routine working, isn't it?




Train more, gain more. MAKES SENSE, BRO.

i agree wholeheartedly with everything except the bolded

i use to think that and then one day realized that how would i know unless i just put weight on the bar. if you hit 200x5 last week then try 205 this week. even if you only hit 205x3 do a dropset or something to supplement the volume if you have to. even though you have done "less work" you havent. alternativly this week do 200 for 6 even if you have to force the rep or bounce it or something. I prefer the first way however as i have seen on me and my lifting partners more strength gains from working just submaximal than going to failure every day.

Got to grind it out and just put the work in regardless of program or whatever.

[hellbilly1912]

From what I understand full body routines are typically recommended for beginners to build strength and form a good base. I wish I woulda done ss or 531 when I first started. Never too late though.

[nm1891]

Bro splits bore the phuck outta me, push pull legs is way more fun, and honestly thats the main reason I lift, because I enjoy it.

[EvanAlmighty]

loving my routine atm, ive done bro split, upper lower, ppl, full body 3x a week etc

1 - UPPER heavy
2 - LOWER heavy
3 - off
4 - pull hypertrophy
5 - push hypertrophy
