    >Shoulder press (DB)
    >Tricep pull down (machine)

    >B
    >Calf raises
    >Lunges (dumb bells)
    >Squat
    >Deadlift
    >20 minutes of cardio

    >A/B/rest/A/B/rest/rest/
    >Try to do 20 minutes of cardio on rest days (run or punching bag)
    >Try to get at least 200 grams of protein between 4 - 7 small meals a day
    >Try to get between 2500 and 2800 calories a day
    >Get nutrients / calories from clean sources

    Did this before for a few months and reached like 220lbs at 17% bodyfat (I'm 5 10). A bunch of stuff happened and I fell off the wagon. Starting again at 22% bodyfat at 212 lbs.

      This seems kind of cool, but are you in the gym enough to really build? That seems like a pretty light workout schedule.

      https://i.imgur.com/sXSMuSe.jpg

      im starting a new routine tomorrow. i never did a bro split before. I know this might be a little too much on chest day but ive been doing like 20 sets a week for chest (on multiple days) before so i wanna keep the amount of sets roughly the same. ill just try it out.
      blue cells = superset

      opposite question. Is there enough time to recover with this?

      Starting this one tomorrow it's 3x a week full body. Looks better than stronglifts
      Workout A

      Squats
      3 sets of 8-10 reps.
      2 minutes rest between sets.
      Bench Press
      3 sets of 8-10 reps.
      2 minutes rest between sets.
      Rows
      3 sets of 8-10 reps.
      2 minutes rest between sets.
      Workout B

      Deadlifts
      3 sets of 6-8 reps.
      2 minutes rest between sets.
      Pull-Ups (or Lat Pull-Downs)
      3 sets of 8-10 reps.
      2 minutes rest between sets.
      Overhead Shoulder Press
      3 sets of 8-10 reps.
      2 minutes rest between sets.

      ...so you're doing like 3 workouts at the gym each time you go?

        >...so you're doing like 3 workouts at the gym each time you go?
        yeah. That's how full body routines are. Look at stronglifts or starting strength. Difference is my routine has higher reps which is better for gaining muscles

          That doesn't sound right?

          So I did starting strength, but with SS you squat every gym day (so 3 times a week). You do that for each 3 phases of the workout. That's the whole philosophy behind Rippetoe's book. The squat activates the largest muscle in the body, which produces the most lactic acid, and consequently testosterone (hence your strength gains). You progressively overload and get more strength with each passing week.

          What you're doing isn't like bad. I'm not trying to talk trash. I'm just saying you're probably going to see mediocre results, but you'd see way better if you picked an existing program that activated more groups.

            I didn't make the program. Saw someone recommending it on leddit.
            https://www.aworkoutroutine.com/the-beginner-weight-training-workout-routine/

            also i'm not sure what you mean. On this program i'm either squatting 2x a week or deadlifting 2x a week. I'm definitely activating a lot of muscle groups with this. And higher reps is known for being better for hypertrophy which is my goal, not strength. Strength is just a side benefit.

              Okay, I see what's going on. I'm just an anon on IST, So take it or leave it, but what I'm going to tell you is :

              1. Don't go to reddit for workout advice. For every one person that lifts, it's 99 ultra leftwing fat acceptance college kids who think callisthenics will give you big arms. Unlike IST, there's a huge body positivity movement on those boards, and they can upvote / downvote / control what you see based on whether they like it or not. It's just toxic positivity and you don't want that. IST is toxic negativity, but at least you'll get honest assessments about your physique and achievements. More people here actually lift.

              2. The workout you're posting is very mediocre. You'll see some results from it, but it's just because you're brand new to lifting. You're going to find it really easy to put on muscle and shed fat while you're new, but you'll be wasting that opportunity with this workout.

              3. This workout was designed to be minimal for people who clearly have never worked out before and don't have discipline to do it consistently. That's why it's literally just doing 3 lifts a day for 3 days a week. There's no cardio and no abs. There's barely any leg workout except for squat and Deadlift -- but even with the deadlift it depends on what you're doing.

              Just do starting strength. You'll still be in the gym 3 times a week, but it's a proven workout that will actually help you put on muscle.

              >On this program i'm either squatting 2x a week or deadlifting 2x a week. I'm definitely activating a lot of muscle groups with this

              No, it's not. With starting strength you're squatting 3 times a week and deadlifting 3 times a week. With your program you're squatting 2 times a week and deadlifting once a week. It's barely any activation. Most programs have you in the gym 4 days a week. If you're not using your muscles for around 3 days, you start to experience atrophy. That puts you at literally 7 days between workouts for some muscle groups.

        I would workout more but I row mon-sat (that's why there's a slight leg focus). The only way I'm able to workout during the week is because I'm taking personal fitness as a class, and that only meets every other day (2-3 days a week).

    I do these two circuits everyday two times:

    CIRCUIT A
    Ring dips x 8
    Face pulls x 8 the first time / bodyweight bicep curls x 8 the second
    Bodyweight tricep extentions x 15
    Rings rear delts flies x 8
    Handstand push ups x 8
    Lateral rises x 10

    CIRCUIT B
    Weghted chin ups x 8
    Reverse nordics
    Nordic curls
    (I'm waiting for the pieces to build a pulley system to do pull throughs and maybe substitute some exercises)

    Pretty weird I know but it's getting the job done.

    Rudimentary home gym upper-lower -split with dumbbells, kettlebells and bodyweight. Feedback appreciated.

    ABxABxx with cardio once or twice a week. Progression happens first through increased reps per set and then after reaching a certain amount of reps through increasing weight.

    A
    DB Bulgarian split squat 5x10-20
    KB swings 5x25
    KB/DB front squat 3x10
    One-legged calf raises 2xAMRAP
    Abwork 2xAMRAP

    B
    DB bench press 3x10+
    DB supported rows 3x10+ OR Pull-ups
    KB one armed OHP 2x10+
    KB upright row 2x10+
    DB flyes 2x15+
    Curl, any variant 3xAMRAP
    (Abs if I have the energy and time)

    Nothing special, but something to do after work. I'm already seeing positive results. I hate Bulgarian split squats now more than I hate myself.

    I do mainly boxing so don’t sperg out because there’s no weights
    Day 1:
    >5x10-12 pull-ups w/ different grips
    >8x40 jump squats BW
    >8x25 push-ups regular form
    I usually do 10 rounds of heavy bag training at 2 minutes per round followed by the above routine, pull-ups first though along with stretching. After that I run 3-4 miles at a moderate pace.
    >Day 2:
    Same as day 1 except replace squat jumps with burpees for sets of 20, half the push-ups with a wide grip, spilt the remaining ones between regular and diamonds, replace pull-ups with dips. At the end of each day I do 100 Russian twists each side with a 25 pound plate on a decline bench, as well as 100 decline sit ups. It’s not a routine for aesthetics, but for power and explosiveness, as well as muscular endurance so don’t throw a fit. Also 45 minutes of speedbag 4 times a week

        Just be honest, you committed to some homosexual workout you saw on reddit and didn't actually read starting strength or know anything about it.

        You've probably left the thread at this point, but I guess your punishment is that you're going to basically waste your time and effort

      >My routine literally has way more volume than SS. See pic related

      No it doesn't! This is completely jacked up!

      First of all, that's not starting strength!

      Phase 1 of Starting strength is
      >A
      >Squat 5 reps x 3 sets*
      >Bench Press 5 reps x 3 sets
      >Deadlift 5 reps x 1 set

      >B
      >Squat 5 reps x 3 sets
      >OHP Press 5 reps x 3 sets
      >Deadlift 5 reps x 1 set

      With starting strength you squat and deadlift every day at the gym. The only one that alternates is bench. So you'd be doing 90 reps of squats and 90 reps of deadlifts in two weeks.
      Secondly, you shouldn't go by reps! You progressively overload with starting strength. Who cares if if you do more reps of squats or deadlifts at a lower weight? If you want, you can do the same program with less weight for reps, but it's not going to make a huge difference.

      Thirdly, yeah, I did understand your workout. If you squat on Friday, you don't squat again for another 5 days. Atrophy has already set in.

      Again you can do what you want but that program sucks ass and you're to waste a ton of effort to look like someone who doesn't even lift.

      Starting strength comes in phases for this exact puprose.

    Full body routine 3x a week since I don't want to be in the gym 6 days a week doing a PPL:
    >Chin-ups
    >OHP
    >Squats
    >Deadlifts/Romanian Deadlifts (alternate each workout)
    >T-bar rows
    >Bench Press
    >Dumbbell Curls
    >Tricep Extensions

    I pair the exercises to save time. So I'll do a set of chin-ups, rest 2 minutes, set of OHP, rest 2 minutes, set of chin-ups, etc. It's a pretty hard, fitting all 6 compounds in one workout. But I think it's efficient since I'm getting a lot of volume in despite only being in the gym three days a week, plus I'm pairing the exercises to save time. Overall I like it a lot and have seen really good results.
