        It looks solid tbh. I would do 5x5 and 1xAMRAP on squats.

          3x5 twice a week + 3 sets of leg presses twice a week is 12 sets of quads per week, which is definitely enough for beginners. Could add a couple sets of squats or some leg extensions if you really want though.

      It's honestly fine, especially compared to the shit programs recommended here.

      It's fine volume for novices. Probably not enough for more advanced lifters but the rest of the volume is pretty shit there too.

          OPs pic is not the program, a program is not a list of exercice. It's generally an excel sheet that calculates your working load according to your 1RM
          Reddit's PPL unironically use 60% of your 1rm.
          My 1rm on the overheadpress is a bit higher than 1 plates, I have to do 3x8-12 with the empty barbell after bench work (that is also ultra light). Thats just an example, its way worse for the deadlift
          I cant see how you can get gains by moving baby weights

            I think the idea is just to never ever have to deload but 60% is still dismal even by those standards. Do they just start at 60% and progress linearly for a few months

    They all work. They used to have these training manuals a long time ago that came with the barbell/bench sets you could buy at sears and those worked good with the shitty little barbells that came with them. It's all dependant on how much you put in to a workout. There are people who get great results using 2 lifts because they push themselves hard. If a program sucks it's most likely because you work out robotically.

      variations and adjustments
      the idea that PPL = "beginner" and something like PHUL = "advanced" is maybe the biggest fricking meme here

      In fact, they're both inefficient because dedicating a whole day for legs is inefficient.
      You can fit legs in on a push or pull day
      5x squats
      RDL
      Calves
      machine work as needed for hams
      = all you need = not a full workout day
      Look at the Pullworkout. 6 sets of back? You can't fit legs in there and go from a 45 min session to 70 minutes? why are you wasting time driving to a gym for 45 minutes?

      Pull/Legs
      Push
      repeat is the choice for the ascended

        Ancedotally I have seen the best leg growth from programming with dedicated leg days. I know this is bro science, but maybe it's because the body can use all of the protein it takes in after the workout to build your legs instead of also using some of it on your upper body.

    reddit ppl is literally moronic if you’re natty. normies only see good results because affixing to a 6 day program moves the goalpost and ensures at least a 3-4 day/week workout. hypertrophy in general is moronic for natties. “workout programs” in general are moronic for natties. do a brosplit with ample weight and use linear progression for compounds until you plateau. then do something more complex like 5/3/1. it’s really that simple. you are never EVER going to be a competitive bodybuilder or look like one off juice and hypertrophy is moronic.

        rest is essential for a natty. you are building muscle during rest. brosplitting and incorporating heavy compounds is the best thing you can do as a natty for mass. reddit ppl is a gateway to twinkdom for natties, if they can even sustain the 6days/week on a regular basis.

          6x is also annoying for most people's social lives. The total gym trip might only be 2 hours, but there's a good chance you're going to be sore and not feel like going out. Neglecting your friends after school is mistake, since free time becomes much more precious.

          If you're also trying to be athletically well-rounded, running or cycling a 1-2 days, playing some sport 2-3 days, you're getting a lot of lower body volume. A can brosplit work quite well if you're generally active outside of the weight room.

      SS focusese solely on the big compound lifts (squat, deadlift, bench press, ohp), it eliminates the bullshit so you can put your effort into these exercises and progress.
      it's a solid program for starting out, then you can switch for something with more volume like PPL.

        A ppl can also focus on the big lifts, the reason I started dividing my body in ppl was because it made so much sense to have one day start with squat, one day start with deadlift and one day start with bench and ohp and then some suitable exercises after the big ones

    It's fine for novice and beginners, and for people who are short on time. I personally never liked PPL and prefer antagonizing with back/chest and bis/tris, since you can superset and the back chest pump is very satisfying. The reddit PPL could use more chest and leg volume though, and I'd personally reorganize it into an antagonizing split so I could superset it.
