Sorry for late reply. Deadlifts are awesome, and I do a heavy triple every week (85% of 1-rep max), which is done after Squats on Leg, Back, and Biceps day. The key is to not overdo the Squat work. I...

As another option, here is a bit of a re-work on the exercise order, using the ones that you are already doing. I look for muscle breakdown efficiencies in my routine and accomplish this by working...

Volume does not necessarily translate to intensity. For example, I just transitioned back to my normal bench routine after a few weeks of working a strength-base maintenance type of program (dog-days...

I wrote a powerbuilding book a couple of years ago, when I was 50. My target audience was me at 20. I'm in year 40 of my weight lifting journey today and enjoy training just as much as when I was...

Great video and excellent form. Some outstanding feedback already, so I've only got a couple of things to throw in here. Something that helps me "pull the bar into the body" as I lift the weight up...

Running would be the cardio of choice. And there is no need to overdo it. A couple of days a week for 10-20 minutes is a good start (brisk walk to start with if you have to, then mix in...

Work to get proper alignment on leverages before anything else. This will have your elbows under your wrists when the bar is a couple of inches above your chest.

At the start of the rep, as you...

Really nice execution here. Thousand-pound squatter Ray Williams says to break at the knees, then the hips to start the descent, which is what it appears you do in the video.

Squat legend Ed Coan...

Awesome that you are working towards the best-for-you training routine. If it's not this one, it won't be too far out if you keep working at. Using the exercises and the split you provided, here is...

Amazing how a simple topic like leg drive can bring about such great comments and advice. Not much to add, but maybe echo the use of enough of a leg drive (pressing feet into the floor) to ensure...

I started lifting weights when I was 13...forty years ago, and enjoy it today just as much as when I started. I love that you are trying to do things correctly right from the get go. That kind of...

If you are struggling to stay consistent, then reduce volume, training day frequency, or intensity in order to keep consistency as the number one priority. Consistency and proper exercise execution...

The Behind-the-Neck press hits the front delts hard. If done with proper form (chin down, chest up, with elbows under wrists as the bar comes up off the traps) this exercise will build boulders on...

Rep ranges are tricky for sure. And hopefully not to complicate the matter, I'll share some rep ranges that help guide my programming:

Barbell work 3-8 reps
Dumbbell work 6-10 reps
Cable work...

Just adding to already good advice on your thread. It can be tough to put weight on if your metabolism is still racing along at lightning speed. Mine didn't slow down until my mid 20's. That's when I...

I've made great improvements on my Deadlift technique over the years by studying powerlifting great Andy Bolton. Look for his YouTube video titled 5 Secrets of Deadlift by Andy Bolton. The 3:00 mark...

In my experience (forty years of weight training - where did the time go?), full body workouts are too depleting on the body's immune system. And the full body soreness that follows is rough,...

This thread is packed with great information.

Powerbuilding has kept me in the iron game for the last 40 years. As a natural lifter, I get the best results with a two days per week training...
