Forum: Workout Programs

So here I am after six months of cutting 5 feet 10/177 cm , going from 159 lbs/72 kg and about 22% bodyfat to 132 lbs/ 60 kg and about 12% bodyfat (basically from skinny fat to skinny). I'm ready to go on a lean bulk slowly upping my calories each week, till i start gaining weight. I know i...

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. ...

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...

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...

Hello folks, I've been training for 2 months now in my home gym i bought, it's not the best but it was what i could get. Until now I've been doing split workouts for 3x12 but I have been reading that as a beginner i should be doing full body workouts. I will be uploading a picture with the...

I do a 6 day split. I have been lifting 9 or so months and I have seen some good results. However, I have noticed people have said on internet I should be exercising each muscle group 2x per week. I haven't done that since lol. I've been doing each muscle group once per day and core 3x/week. People...

My goal was to get lean and maintain muscle/strength. I basically ran a legs, chest/shoulder/tri, rest, back/bi, rest and repeat split to maintain a decent volume and frequency while keeping the workouts shorter. I’m currently down to a 31 waist. Starting to look weaker in clothing lol. Might need...

Hi guys, I appreciate all your help on this forum so far! I have been doing the fierce 5 programme (intermediate) now for a good 10 months but I have reached a point where my lifts have stalled, the only exception is leg press and deads, deads due to improper form and dialing weight waaaay...

How many exercises and sets configure an intermediate training on a split routine? I know different people have different bodies and limits. I am just asking, considering I am looking into more weight and lower rep count (6,8,10,12), in very general terms, how many exercises and sets should I be...
