Forum: Workout Programs

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...

Hello everyone. I'm very scared about posting here, I hope it's OK. I'm male, 24 years old, 178cm / 5.8 and I currently weigh 160KG/ 352 pounds. I've been overweight/obese my whole life, but it's been getting worse and worse. I want to change. I started Rehabilitation for my Mental...

Sup I was a lurker in the forums back in 2014 till I decided to lose all the weight starting from 125kg (275lbs) to 85kg (187lbs). I cutted with Fierce 5 at the start then moved onto Allpros till I reached 85kg in 9-10 months. I took a long time off (1 year) because of Corona and I joined the...

Been doing full body but keep half-assing leg work so I am switching to U/L to keep myself accountable. On the original template, you can do bench and incline (or OHP) on the first day and make slight “adjustments” on the second upper body day. I intend on benching and incline work for the first...

Hey bros, For up to a six month period, I will be traveling in my vehicle. Though I’ve looked at hitched based power racks, I’ve decided against this and have settled on not taking a rack or barbell with me. Instead, I’ll have: -10lb, 25lb, 45lb plates (should I get a 90?) -35lb kettlebell...

I have a pretty significant imbalance in my chest size and shape. Part of that is because I lucked out and had gyno on only one side of my chest as a teen. This somewhat changed the size as well as the shape of it because that side stored more fat and would hang a bit lower. Unfortunately that side...

I’m currently at... 140 kg squat 143 kg. deadlift 103 kg. bench press 66 kg. overhead press and i also do Bulgarian Split Squat, Pull Ups, Rows, ab wheel Rollout and have just added Nordic Curls as accessories. I’ve been alternating between full body and upper/lower Split in the last...

Hello all From the UK and we are back into lockdown so looking for a full body workout to do 3-4days a week. I haven’t trained regularly for a while and my workouts are very bland and I never see progress. I have a decent amount of equipment that I have built up over time: Rack,...

I have a decent experience at gym, my lifts are like this: BP 120kg x 5 Squat 150kg x 5 DL 180kg x 5 However, as I'm crossing a 30y old mark, I started to be more concious about health. I'm not enjoying 5x a week heavy (5 rep max) workouts anymore. I've been lifting according to MAX-OT...

Hey all, I’ve been in the gym on and off for around 5 months now. I’ve managed to put on 25 lb total while staying around 12% fat, but I worry that I’ll soon hit a plateau if I don’t keep my training and nutrition optimized. So far I’ve been doing full body 3 days per week. How much more can I...

Never feel fatigue or DOMs outside the gym. I do get bad days on occasion but not feeling like chit. I train full body 3x a week. For most lifts, I just do 3 sets of 8-10 reps. Never had issues increasing reps or adding in weight to the bar weekly. Any reason why I *shouldn't* take a rest...

(Tentatively) Happy 2021 everyone! I think I've hit my first platue after training for about 4 years and I don't know what to do about it. I was 2/3 the way through a bikini competition prep when everything came to a halt. I am in the privileged situation of having access to a full gym again...

I notice some people do push, pull and leg splits. It makes sense, but I've been doing Back and Triceps together. I get a much better workout in my triceps that way. And my biceps still feel worked. When I do biceps after back, I can't really do quality bicep work because they're fatigued. So the...

What’s up everyone? I have fell off the wagon for a while now and I am trying to get back on my horse so to speak. Today I trained using one exercise just smoking my upper body. Has this approach with enough effort, volume etc.. been more successful than the use of multiple exercises for some?...

So I'm trying to decide which routine is better, 1. Or 2. 1. full body 3x a week: WORKOUT A: Bench press 3 sets Squat 3 sets

I was thinking about something. When I train chest, I always do the heaviest exercise first the lighter one second and the lightest and easiest one last. I start with bench 4x8, then incline bench 4x8, and as a last exercise i do cable press 3x12. Now the cable press is the exercise where you...

Recently I’ve been using front squats in place of back squats as my main movement due to less spinal loading, same stimulus, better torso angle etc. I’m looking for an assistance movement to help drive it up. My first choice was goblet squats but my gym doesn’t have dumbbells that are heavy enough....
