      It seems to me if you're doing multiple variations of one exercise you should spread them out in the workout or just choose one every day rather than doing three types of curls for huge volume.

    I prefer something like 8, 5, 3 adding weight each time, backing down to you 8rep weight for a couple sets of 5, then switching to a harder variation for 3x8, like if you're squatting go to front squats, deads to deficits, bench to pause or slow eccentric bench. More volume and hitting weak points will do more for you than 15 reps and going to failure. You should only go to failure on single joint exercises like curls, tri ext, or other small lifts. Id also recommend swapping one cardio movement for upper back work, switch between pulldowns and rows for 4-5x10

      Not bad but I'd switch back and forth between chins and rows, find a different ab exercise, and a different curl. Bb curl will prob wear your wrists out. And I'd go nuts with the same rep range every time. Probably do 4*10, the. 4x8, 4x5 over the course of a week

      It's okay but if I were to run this routine, I'd do it ramp-up sets and replace some exercises.

      wide grip bench for db bench press
      behind the neck press for overhead press
      chin-ups for rows
      barbell curl for ez barbell curls

      here mine

      Thank you anons
      All you other Black folk with your 5 hour every day workouts with 20 different dumbbell curl and bench press variations. I don't have the time for that shit.
      I used to, but then I realized it was making me dread the gym and not go because I don't enjoy gymming for that long.
      Nowadays I only do 4 exercises a workout, maybe 6 at most if I feel it, and superset them. Usually do 5 sets per exercise, to 10-15 reps for hypertrophy. Kinda improv it but it feels nice and I'm gaining. Wanna iron things out however, which is why I'm here.
      Here's an example from today:
      >Back squat 4x10

      >OHP 4x10
      >Pec Fly 4x12

      >DB Skullcrushers 3x12
      >BB Preacher Curl 3x15
      They're grouped together by what I superset.
      As I said normally 5 sets but in a rush

            Yh i noticed im doing like 23 sets of back compared to everything else thats in the 9-12 range. He always preaches that your back can take the beating but idk, i feel pretty beat up all the time in general. Might just go down to 1 set of each across the 4 days instead of doing them everytime i lift.

              i would be beat the frick up from that as well. I do weighted pull ups once a week and reps for the other day. He can probably do it because he quarter reps on pull ups. Going down to 1 set a day or reducing it to 2 times per week is probably wise

              >He always preaches that your back can take the beating
              It can. The back is like the equivalent of the legs in the upper body. It's the biggest musculature and can take a lot of volume for growth.
              The problem with NH's upper/lower Sheiko is that it would be doing too much pull ups. Your rotator cuff and tendons can only take so much on pull ups. There should be varying ways to hit your back so that there's less fatigue.
              I do it like

              said with 1 day having weighted pull ups for 3x5 while the other day having bodyweight pull ups for 3x8-12
              Then fill in the gaps with horizontal pulling and diagonal pulling exercises that are less stressful like chest supported rows, pullovers on Nautilus/Hammerstrength machines/cables, seated cable rows, etc.

                Would it be better to do Weighted pulls/chin-ups on my lower b day since that ends the week and then pull/chin-ups amrap on lower a which is right before a rest day? Just since im already doing rows on both upper days already.

                Also, idk if it was intentional or not but you two only mentioned pull ups. Are they just overall better compared to chin-ups, or is that just the style you prefer?

                Sounds good.

                >Are they just overall better compared to chin-ups, or is that just the style you prefer?
                For me, it just slipped my mind. Personally I'd go neutral grip pull ups >>> chin ups >>> pronated grip pull ups. But that's just me since my TOS gets triggered when doing pronated grip pull ups. Neutral grip is overall the safest way to do it.

    Some background. I have a home gym of sorts. Kettlebells from 4 to 32 kilos, a bench, some resistance bands, a shitty pull-up bar and some adjustable dumbbels with not enough plates atm. I'm getting back to fitness after injury, deppression and getting fat. I've been doing a xAxAxAx xBxBxBx type of full body program of my own invention with pretty basic excercises. I'm now toying with the idea of a ABxABxx program to save a bit of time.

    Day A would be mainly lower body and some accessories. Legs are a b***h to train at home. Day B would be the upper body. Increasing resistance happens through increasing reps after succesful full sets. After 5 additional reps I usually add a new set. When that's done I move up in weights.

    Warmup: Bodyweight squats to get the blood flowing. Kettlebell halos with lighter weight to activate the shoulders and warm up the upper body. Finished with a couple of hindu push-ups. These limber my back nicely.

    A:
    5x 10+ Bulgarian split squats (per leg)
    5x 20-25+ KB swings. One armed with 28kg, both hands 32kg.
    3x 20+ KB or DB front squat.
    3x AMRAP Whatever curl I fancy that day
    3x AMRAP abwork

    B:
    4x 10+ KB or DB bench press. I did KB floor presses and havent tried using a KB with the bench. Might not be feasible. More DB plates coming.
    2x AMRAP push-ups
    4x AMRAP Pull-ups. Slow and assisted because I'm still a fatty.
    ^These can be replaced with 4x10 KB one armed rows.
    3x 10+ KB upright row
    3x 10+ KB overhead press
    2x 20+ KB standing flies

    Cardio at least once a week, hopefully twice : Jogging, HIIT runs, path running, cycling, long walks, hiking, marching with a weighted rucksack etc. I've started walking to work too. Whatever tickless my fancy. I'd love to get back to running at least once a week.

    Please be gentle IST.

    Friday is optional because I used to be fat so legs are kinda eh. I also walk 20k steps a day, and try to bike 3 times a week for 14 miles.

    Fixes Encouraged. I wanted to swap Tricep pressdown for JM press but idk

    I'm also on a suicide cut, so this is high as frick volume tbh. Might swap to 2x??

      I do something kind of like this. Every time I begin to jerk off I imagine my waifu placing her hand on the hand Im jacking off with and moving it off my crotch while giving me a sad-concerned look. It unironically works better than you think it does.

    trying to cobble together an actual routine instead of just freeballing it (which has been pretty good so far surprisingly). What is the best alternative for pullups? I'm homegym with dbs and a bar w/ plenty of weights but don't have/want a pull up bar at the moment for various reasons.

    you guys know nothing about programming lmao, you won't just magically get stronger after every workout, you can't just do the same shit and get stronger after beginner phase.
    You need something that includes progression.
