>Sabbath split
sure, but low intensity and volume
>Unilateral Split
incredibly moronic
but if any of you morons would like to be a guinea pig and do Unilateral Split for 6months to a year id pay a dollar or two
I do unilateral deadlifts for the lower back and finish with one handed rack-pulls to obliterate the forearms.
Both are moronic but Sabbath is way less efficient. Either you can never go to failure or be chronically overtrained.
Overtraining is a meme. People who use this word have no idea what it actually entails.
>but low intensity and volume
might as well just not lift then
>Unilateral Split
>> full body (left side), full body (right side), rest, repeat
This is moronic. The definition of edgy/ different for the sake of being different. There would be absolutely no benefit to training this way
>Sabbath Split
>> full body every day except Sunday (because even God needed a rest day
Could be based, but obviously wouldn't work for everyone due to work and families etc. if you do have the time, and you're past beginner and intermediate stages of lifting, this could be good. Probably wouldn't work for natties though
It's a shame that these threads are always treated like a joke. Let's get some real unconventional methods going.
>All day lifting/GtG with weight
Anybody who's done any calisthenics is familiar with "greasing the groove." Essentially you gain proficiency via neurological adaptation by performing extremely high frequency, low intensity sets all day every day. Pavel Tsatsouline popularized this method with his book The Naked Warrior. In it, he admits that the method itself could be effective with barbell lifts, but may not be viable in practice.
Paul Anderson used to have day-long sessions where he would putt a golf ball between racks where he would press and squat respectively. He would take 30+ minute rests and chug on a gallon of milk throughout the day. Starting this off for the layperson would probably involve reducing intensity pretty drastically, perhaps to the point where you're using a weight that you either don't need to warm up for or don't "cool down" too quickly on.
Now we're talking. Have any of you NEETs or WFH with home gym out there tried greasing the groove with a barbell lift?
>Calisthenics volume training:
This is a progression scheme I made up to git gud at single leg squatting. The idea is that you want to get 100 total reps (per leg). You pick your main movement and two regressions. The goal is to eventually do your main movement for 100 reps in 5 sets. All sets are taken close to or to failure. I did this 1x week with another day dedicated to low rep barbell squats. I went from sets of 5 to sets of 15 and can do my single leg squats weighted with clean atg form now.
>do 5 sets of main movement
>if you get less than 100 reps give yourself 5 more sets with regression 1 to finish off the remaining reps
>if you fail to reach the remaining reps with regression 1, give yourself 5 more sets and move on to regression 2
>if you fail to get 100 reps in 15 sets you need to reconsider your exercise selection.

>Unilateral split in 2024
Kek. Imagine not doing a diagonal split

>Dynamic tension
Dynamic Tension as presented by Charles Atlas was essentially an ancient instagram routine, but this thread
by anon suggests bodyweight isometric training is not entirely baseless.
This plays in a little with "all day lifting" in that people who suffer from myotonia congenita are essentially very frequently stimulating their muscles through dynamic tension. Simulating MC for the layperson may not be practical, but it is doable. Let's say you want to train your bis+tris. Theoretically you would perform an MC rep by maximally contracting your triceps for 3-5 seconds, then while attempting to hold this contraction, contract your bicep to bend your arm. You would do the reverse to extend your arm: maximally contract your bicep, and extend your arm with your tricep while resisting with continued bicep contraction. Now the catch is that you would need to do this all day every day. To simulate MC you could perform 1-5 MC reps before regular movement. For example, You could use the bi+tri method any time you pick an object up, or any time you need to raise your arms above your waist. It's simple, easy to do and free, but the impracticality comes from making you look like an OCD moron.
I’ve been running barefoot for like 3 years
I only do lu raises, crunches, hammer curls and kettlebell swings 3 times a week because I want broad shoulders, visible abs, big forearms and great hips for fricking, I also dont jerk off on training days unless it's beforehand since I dont wanna drain the test that I build up doing leg exercises, I've centered my diet around test raising foods with good amounts of fibre like almonds, whole grains, eggs, meat and raw milk, none of this is a joke, I wish I had blood brothers I could get pumps with and go out for beer with while we look for hot asian women
Hell yeah
>maxalding/muscle control
Maxalding builds a strong mind muscle connection via focused isometric contraction. Unlike the other methods I've mentioned so far, maxalding only requires a few minutes a day to see results. Literally flex your 'ceps on front of a mirror while focusing your mind on the muscle and the feeling of contraction. You'll want to to focus on muscle groups you have trouble engaging. I've personally used it to learn how to recruit my serratus and rib muscles during pull-ups. I instantly saw an increase in reps and decrease in perceived difficulty in the movement.
exercising with the aim of developing muscle is convincing your brain to increase muscle mass, the sages didn't need to exercise, they could increase their size by meditating fooling their brain they had a high intensity work out

Nether Better Upgrade
https://pdfcoffee.com/the-nether-better-upgrade-manualdocx-pdf-free.html
Netherbeast was the original schizo-lifter. He had so much unconventional nutritional and lifting wisdom that ranged from actually useful, to total bullshit. Way too much to cover in one post. After getting busted for faking his lifts. Nether fricked off and tried recreating his channel a few times, but deleted it every time it got too big and "attracted the haters." The last time I saw him posting online he had moved to Puerto Rico (or some other thirdie country) and lifted innawoods with a homemade gym made of logs and rocks. He went on to create a fight club that consisted of his loyal followers and intended to make a comeback in MMA. Above is an archive channel of his videos and the "Nether Better Upgrade manual" he used to sell but later gave away for free. Ironically, if he had come around just a few years later he could have really made it as a fitness influencer/lifestyle grifter.
missing his best training content sadly
his jedi split shit was peak
>jedi split
I missed this back in the day, what was the QRD?
I'm forced to do a unilateral upper work because I fricked up my wrist.
I wouldn't do it for more than the 4 weeks it takes a sprain to heal.
Apparently there are benefits to continuing to train the uninjured side.
IST is too normiepilled for threads like this
>jelqing to failure

and that's it

>Full body, 10 times per week, maxing out on each main lift at least twice, cardio 5 times per week, sauna at 180 degrees for 30 minutes each morning, by cold shower/ice baths.
