looks solid actually, I'm make your lower body days the same though, or you can target hammies/calves all out in one, and quads/calves all out in the other

[gofling]

Nice enough dude

Thanks. Might target hams one day and quads another.

[DDon1996]

Ridiculously low volume.

[51Cent]

I don't see any squats so I think your routine is terrible

This young man has great reading skills.

[Power_Strike92]

Ridiculously low volume.

I usually go to failure on the last set of all exercises.

Strong reading skills.

Ridiculously low volume.

If the sets and reps he wrote out refer only to work sets, then I have to disagree.

[DDon1996]

That's because you're massively stupid.

[Ka0s]

That's because you're massively stupid.

Other than lats (which I agree with you on), what do you feel isn't getting enough work?

5x5 deadlifts is a sh!tload of volume, keep in mind that on your old routine you did 1x5 deadlifts once a week.

Chest, shoulders, biceps, traps.

Oh sweet irony

In 4 fight between don and kaos?

if that isn't enough volume then what about SS

[DDon1996]

Oh sweet irony

You're comparing the ideal 3x a week frequency with the **** 1x a week?

My routine isn't high volume either, but that doesn't bear any relation to whether or not his routine is good.

Edit: ^^^ Ka0s is mah buddy, we're just making part of this debate public, in addition to what we're currently discussing in Tinychat.

I understand that this may not have occured to you, but 1 set of chest done 3x per week is the same amount of volume as 3 sets of chest done 1x per week. The body might respond differently to each but it is still the same amount of volume.

[-TheKingPin-]

Ahhhh so your saying squatting 3 x a week even if it isn't all working sets is better than squatting 5x5 once a week?

Same thing with OHP, Bench, Deadlift and Power clean but once/twice a week?

PS sorry for thread derail but just interested.

Sure, by that logic, 10 sets of 1000 is the same as 10000 sets of 1.

Reread the bold.

Yes, more frequency is better.

However, in a routine that lacks frequency, the volume MUST be increased to compensate as much as possible, even though it still won't be as optimal.

That's not necessarily what I'm saying here but yes I do like training lifts more than 1x per week.

I have no clue what the **** you just said

[-TheKingPin-]

Hence the reason for Bill Starr 5x5 where you squat 3x a week but have a heavy, light and medium day.

It has become clear now.

[DDon1996]

Datz cuz u stoopid nikka!


The body will not respond the same to a low-volume, low-frequency routine as it will to a low-volume, high-frequency routine. Comparing the two is retartd dawgg.

Yeah more practice doing the actual lift. You don't need to go heavy every time to get stronger at something, most of what "strength" actually is is your body becoming more neurologically efficient at performing the movement.

Then your first post should've read "ridiculously low frequency"


Your and real douchbag.

[DDon1996]

It can be viewed as low frequency, if the volume is kept the same.

This. I will definetely do as many warm-up sets as I need to get the blood flowing.

You might want to add a little isolation for the BPs that DDon mentioned. Maybe some Lat Pulldowns, DB side raises, etc. Nothing major though.

[Taylorgains96]

Just wondering, but will you see bigger gains doing this then doing say a body part a day routine?
