Hi i saw this program on reddit, i've been lifting for 7 months and currently for 5 reps each have a 85/145/215/270 lifts, i have been doing 5/3/1 and stumbled upon this: Push 1: bench 5/3/1, 5x10 of a bench accessory work (like boring but big template, 50-70% of your training max) at 50-70% of...

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...

Edit: The age above is wrong. I am 27. Joined here a while ago but never started working out until about 5 weeks ago. I have been working out every other day using body weight, resistance bands, two little drink bottles, & gallon jugs. I have gained 18sh pounds and feel much stronger already....

If you're not having any joint or tendon pain or long lasting soreness of any kind, what are other ways to tell if your weekly volume is too high? You can do too much volume to the point where you're clearly getting weaker every workout and every week, but is it possible to do just enough volume...

trying to create two new workouts. These are different for me as i have never done full body work outs and i have never done an upper/lower either. it did not paste the best so i will attach it as well. Any thoughts? Upper/lower abs upper Bar bench 3x6-8 ...

This year marks 40 years of Natural strength and muscle building for me. I compete only with myself. Many of my PRs were set at age 48-50. I typically take some time off each fall due to Coaching football but here’s my current routine that has always been very good to me. I guess I’m sharing...

I've been working out off and on for years (im 24). I've pretty much always used the fierce 5 beginner routine. I've never seen the growth I wanted so I always take breaks. My current 5x5 is bench 170lbs and squat 225lbs. I'm an impatient person, I understand that I won't look like Dwayne Johnson...

I am plateaued just beneath five plates on my deadlift and I have a competition/log thread going, aiming to get above 500 in half a year. As a novice, simply going in, changing it up occasionally while making sure to challenge my limits and put in legitimate effort has been sufficient to get...

I know at beggining levels squatting three times a week is totally fine, but I'm currently at 140 kg for 5 reps, (I'd say I'm an intermediate now) at this level is squatting 3 times a week convenient or is it too much? I removed conventional deadlifts from my workout... Upper/Lower split 2xweek. So...

Hey peeps, Just needed some feedback if possible. Been lifting for 5 years, have done Fierce 5 basically most of my lifting, either the full body or upper/lower version which I've loved. I'm getting tired of having lagging arms though, genetics I guess and also want to focus little more on...

Hey everybody, this post is maybe a little long to read, I am really grateful to everybody who takes the time to read it and to help me! I've been working out at home for about a year now and since a couple of days I got myself a membership at the gym. I am gonna show you the workout routine...

Title. My forearms and back are the parts most affected. I had the idea of trying to block my back days on off days, but I'm not off of work enough for it to matter.

In the face of a stall, which do you find more effective: removing 10% or so from the bar or knocking reps back down to the lowest end of your range? Which method is better suited to allow for somewhat of a period of recovery? I say somewhat because we’re assuming that regular deloads are already...

Hey guys. Looking to start a hypertrophy program and any recommendations from guys that have seen solid results.

Hey, just found this 5 Week Hypertrophy Workout Routine from Mike Israetel that looks great but was just wondering what was the "style" of this program. I thought a program was either UL, PPL, Split. This one doesn't seem to be any of those.. (Is it still effective though?) "Mike Israetel 5 Week...
