Forum: Workout Programs

Some of you probably already know about this so this is for those who don't or are looking for a solid progression method. This progression method is what I've instinctively been doing. I didn't know the name of it until now. Anyways, I think this is a better system because it meets your...

2018 we had a squat thread, goal 10,000,000. We got almost 4,500,000 that year if I remember right. This year, all free weight squats count: barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, water bottles, bricks, backpack full of books, concrete plates, heavy pole, or anything you've got to squat. Just weigh it...

Hi guys I've kept on breaking rep PRs each and every workout for the last few months(5-10+ reps sets and even 15-20 reps sets) on big exercises which I perform in a way that redirects tension on the desired tissue (I.E. I don't bench press with the exact form that allows me to move the most weight...

Hey, i want to ask something. Im trainig classic fullbody training with weights, but i have some bodyweight exercises like dips/pull-ups too. Im training mainly for hypertrophy, so im trying to have 8-12 reps, which i can easily adjust with weight, but not with bodyweight. Problem is that i can do...

So taking for instance a typical Sunday I get up early but my misses sleeps in and makes the most of being lazy so for the morning I will be playing PlayStation and...

Hello everyone, I am new here and I hope I will find somebody who can help me with my bodybuilding starting journey. First, I would like to apologize, because I know there are a lot of topics about what I am asking, but I'm thinking that everybody might need different exercises program + food...

So my leg days is below. I am wondering what people think about the volume/number of movements. I train a GST based program with the first movement being a progression towards 1RM and the supplemental lifts on a rotation of 5x5/10x4/20x3 depending on the week. (I also have a fractured disc in my...

What progression method do you use on your main lifts and isolations? As hypertrophy is an very easy given adaptation, has me thinking that it dont really matter as long you are increasing reps/weight when things get to easy and you fall out of that overload threshold (0-4 rir) What progression...

Been following greyskull LP and keep missing reps after adding weight and getting to 135lbs x5 on bench and 115x5 on squats (deadlift is 215x5 and OHP is 95x5) 5ft 8inches and 168lbs - 20% bodyfat skinnyfat or maybe just fat?

Hello, so my gym is only open Monday - Friday. I’ve done ppl and other splits but it seems my body is responding well to training one muscle group per day. What do you guys think of my exercise selection, sets and reps, as well as goals for my age/weight. I am: 176cm, 68kg, 20 years old. This is...

Hello, i want to ask something. I train classic Push/Pull/Legs routine. At my pull day, i train compound movements and only at the end of my workout i do 3 sets of biceps curls as only isolated exercise. I do just 3 sets, because i was thinking that biceps is working at every pull movement, but now...

I've gone rogue from weighted calisthenics. I got sick of weighted pistols squats being such a pain in the ass to do, I was like I need a barbell. I'm going to still keep the volume and split the same. 3 sets per exercise, 5-8 reps each, 0-1 RIR Monday: Upper A Close grip bench Weighted...

Is there any links here for direction?

tMoQiYW5dFc The video basically advocates staying far away from failure for the majority of one's lifting. The video is designed more for strength but the first thread in the comments also addresses hypertrophy considerations.

Good day/night to this sub, looking for advice. I'm 21, 5'5 with an average body. Currently lifting 5kg dumbbell per arm. Question is, is it necessary to feel pain in each exercise form? I'm only doing 1 set per form and then proceed to the next. I'm Doing this every morning before work and at...

Doing GZCL programming again. Wondering what the RPE should be for T1 exercises. I don't use RPE usually, but it's the simplest way to ask the question and I wonder if I go to heavy. I know you're supposed to find your 2 rep max and use a percentage of that but was wondering from an RPE...

I've been told it helps to build and maintain muscle mass... any advice !!

I have around 1-1.5 year of consistent gym training, First I've been doing FBW for around a year on my cut then swapped to upper lower for a bit and now im thinking about incorporating a third upper day since i've been having a lot of free time recently. Im not sure about that tho, there are people...
