Forum: Workout Programs

This week is the last week of my bulk before transitioning to cutting. Been using Fierce 5, last deload was 10 weeks ago. Want to do one week of rest in between bulking and cutting. Was wondering if I'd still get the benefits of a 'rest' week if I do a 1RM session next week (squat, bench, deadlift)...

I've recently been using all 3 pretty regularly after working out since my gym offers all of the above at no extra cost, but do they actually do anything or help with recovery? Sure they feel nice, but am I actually doing anything productive? Any literature on any of this, or is it mostly...

I wanted to do something similar to a 6 day PPL but thought it'd be nice to break it up a little differently. So I made what I'm gonna call a HLV split (Horizontal, Vertical, Legs.) I'm sure it's been done before, but I haven't seen it. I figure I would have more juice if I split bench up from...

Hello! I've been lifting for 3 year now, and for the past 6 months I had been following the Vikings 5 day ULPPL routine. TBH it's starting to get a bit monotonous now. I'm definitely seeing gains, but would like to try something new. I developed a progressive routine and would like to know your...

I am a natural lifter and am looking to find a 4 or maybe 5 day routine that is either Push/Pull or Upper/Lower focused. I am currently following the Fierce 5 4 day Upper/Lower routine, but am looking for a change. I am 6’2 and weigh 195 lb. I am really looking to widen my upper back.

5 years ago, I attended the gym religiously, but was suddenly hit with a back condition and was forced to 100% cut out the gym (doc's orders) For the next 4 years, my weight kind of cruise controlled with a slight uptick This last year, it went up SIGNIFICANTLY to ~170 lbs (up from 150) ...

Hi I'm new to this site and have never done any physical training before. I am fairly skinny but have some fat around my love handles. I am currently in prison in a 3rd world country and want to start training as best as I can. There is no gym though. All I have is my cell which is a plain...

I was looking into high volume and found this "program" (more of a rep scheme) called German volume training. 10x10 with 90" rest and slow eccentric phase. Several days rest before going again. This one girl in my gym just completed a contest and is doing the 10x10 thing now also. My question is...

So I’m fairly new to bulking and consistently going to the gym. It’s been a little over three weeks since I’ve started going to the gym and hitting my macros consistently. IM 5’7 starting at 170. A little bit of a skinny fat complexion.. I use rivalus clean gainer protein shake after my workouts...

You finally video your form and it is clear to see your squat is not quite at parallel. If anyone recalls I had a thread a month or so ago posting my progression on F5. Well, scratch the 330 lb squat. Turns out I was about three, maybe four inches from parallel once I videoed it. And what...

Hi. So I'm looking for a program that focuses on every part of each muscle of the body equally. For example, one that has exercises for all 3 heads of the triceps, all 3 sides of the shoulders, every part of my legs, every part/ side of my biceps, etc. Something more advanced that can create a...
