Forum: Workout Programs

So my small town gyms calf raise machine broke. I still wanted to do calf raises so I started setting the leg press machine on the highest chair position and putting the top half of my feet on the bottom of the plate. I kept raising the weight because it felt too easy. Then I finally decided to try...

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm sick of workout, I tought, exercise should be energizing, not draining, exhausting and getting in my daily life ('rest days' = 'hell days' ) ! Maybe because some athlean x told everyone, that they should do every set to failure, and that's what i did. ...

I am only available on Saturday, Sunday and Thursday. What body parts should I be doing for those 3 days? 5’9”, 160lbs in the morning after waking up. Smart scale has my BF% between 20%-23%. What can I do to add muscle mass without gaining BF%. Note: I also practice Semen Retention...

I use Fierce 5 the past year. On my off season I gained weight from 65kg to 82kg because I have baby now and my sleep and workout is not consistent. This past few months I did workout and use Fierce 5 however, with 1 month working out I did not see a weight lose. I lose 1kg some week and gained...

I have been training in both boxing and weightlifting for several years, with a focus on weightlifting in recent years. However, I am now feeling bored with going to the gym and would like to work out at home using the equipment I have, including a Power Tower and dumbbells up to 40kg. Here is...

I’ve been running a ULPPL for a couple years now and I’d say it’s been working decently well, but I wonder if I could get a little bit more out of a full-on upper/lower with equivalent or possibly even more volume. I’d run 3 upper days and 2 lower days. The idea is that I could get more out of my...

Is wrong with this site, the place is littered with bots filling all the threads up, can't any mods clean the place up and ban these idiotic posters?

So I have this tendon problem in my right shoulder that pops every rep when I do overhead raises and lat pull downs. I already have plenty of replacements for lat pull downs. I'm just stopping my overhead raise reps with my arms at shoulder level so it won't pop. I know the exercise should have a...

Hey, i have a question. I follow classic fullbody routine, where are classic exercises for 3-4 sets with classic 5-12 rep ranges depending on exercises. I can adjust weights, but not for bodyweight exercises. I should do for example 3 sets of 8 reps for pull-ups, but i can do maximum of 3 pull-ups....

So thanks to the forum members I have found out that my work out routine isn't very good. I've been going to the gym 7 days a week partly because I only have about one hour a day I can devote to the gym. As I'm redesigning my work out program I'm wondering how much of a problem only 1 hour is if...

Hey! My name is Walker, I have been training for about a year now and I am 18 years old. I have begun to platue but I need some advice on how to train. I currently train Push Pull Legs 6 days a week but would like to switch it up a bit. I want to gain strength and size at the same time, I...

As you can probably tell from the question, I'm fairly new to weightlifting ;) I'm currently doing full body workouts 3 times a week, doing about 8-10 different excercizes in 90 minutes. As most exercises I do include arms (I somehow need to hold the weights!) I am concerned that the arms are...

Hi, I'd appreciate it if any of you would give me some feedback on this workout routine I've set up. I need to take a break from leg work for a while, due to injury. So this will be upper body only. Also, 5x5 only and barbell only. Workout A: Incline bench press (15 degrees) Barbell row...

How much of an impact is there to say randomly switching up one of your conditioning days to a lifting day and going back to normal the following week? I know it's a broad question, just wondering how important strict routines are when it comes to working out only (not diet), as I have a much...

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I can't find it on the forum search. All pro's has the following exercises. 2 warmup sets for the first three and two works sets for all. It has a heavy medium and light day (100%, 90%, 80% weights respectively) Squats Bench Presses Bent-Over...

Years ago I used to use bodybuilding.com to track all of my measurements. Not just my weight, body fat, hight, but more specific things like biceps, calves, waist, thighs, etc. Now it seems they no longer offer that service. Not only that, but all my old measurements seems to be gone also. Am I...

Hello all I found this routine from Will Tennyson on YouTube. Is it well put together or go for something like Fierce 5 which I’ve read about? Thanks DAY 1: A) Pause Bench Press W1: 3×8 W2: 4x6 W3: 5×5 B) DB Chest-Sup Row, 4×10-12 C) Machine Chest Press, 3×10-12 D) Mach Lat Pulldown,...
