Forum: Workout Programs

I'm thinking about changing my split routine to the below upper/body. My current stats are: BP: 225x8 Squat: 275x6 DL: 345x6 What do you think? Would you change anything? Given RDL and DL in the routine, I'm thinking about removing the "optional" back exercises to save time. Monday:...

Hello, i have a question. I was very busy last months so i trained only 2x per week fullbody workouts. I liked it not only because of more free time outside gym, but because i was always ready and pumped for working out. Now i have more time again, but i was still thinking about staying on fullbody...

I reposted this here since the questions seem more suited in the "Workout Program" forum rather than the "Exercise" forum, I'm thinking of incorporating the Wenning Warm Ups into my upper body days and had a few questions about it... When I'm done warming up the lats (lat pulldowns), triceps...

Hello everyone I’m looking to begin a bulking program. I lifted frequently before covid and got up to about 240 from being a a 175lb string bean. I’ve since lost a ton of muscle and dropped back down to 200lbs I have some lower back problems from a past sports injury so I do not deadlift...

I understand everyone here is strongly against bro splits, especially for beginners, but I have tried both upper lower and full body before, and find myself lacking in motivation. Bro splits do seem kinda fun. Any help?

Every time I'm at the gym I am literally the only person there writing down all my numbers to track my workout. I'm sure a few people have apps on their phones, but with the specific workout I'm doing I just haven't found any app that could do the job as straightforward as the old pen and paper. ...

This question is a little bit random. I’m looking for exercises I can do to get stronger at lifting/holding a person. For example, my girlfriend likes to jump up on me when she sees me for the first time each day and she likes to be carried around and lean back with deadweight etc. Also, in her...

I started lifting, bodybuilding, weight training, running etc back at age 13 maybe. I’m still doing it at almost 56 years old. The thing is, my training isn’t always what’s “optimal “ and I have no regrets, what’s most important in my opinion, is training in ways that are enjoyable. This is...

Hello everybody, i've stared following a beginner pull push legs (which i exchanged for grip and core) workout about a half year ago. My goal is to get stronger overall and get a better definition. Im not looking for big gains of mass. I do my training to compliment my hobby rock climbing...

Is there any need to program load with percentages for compund lifts? Like in strength programs where you often have a percentage of 1RM to lift. Does just a rep range and a RIR/RPE goal be fine for hypertrophy? For hypertrophy, does it matter if you plan your progression reactively vs...

First time poster; 50 year old male, never been to a gym in my life, and was in really decent shape about 5 years ago due to daily walking plus stand-up bass playing. Not buff by any means but not appearing out of shape at all. I got frozen shoulder around this time and it really limited my...
