    Can I get a good 3 days a week routine that's like gslp and can actually help a natural lifter

      PPLcPPx
      Progress is taken from gzcl VDIP- I add weight when I hit the minimum total reps. Eventually (every 6-8 weeks) it gets too heavy, so I deload for a week and come back with a new, slightly higher starting weight

      Push 1
      Warmup - Cuban Press 2x10-20
      Incline Bench 4x6-8
      OHP 4x8-12
      Floor Press 4x8-12
      Ring Dip 3xF
      TGU 10 reps

      Pull 1
      Warmup - Pullover 2x10-15
      Pull Up 4x6-8
      Front Lever Negatives 10m
      Ring Rows 4x8-12
      Superset: Bicep Curl 4x8-12/Ring Facepull 4xF
      KB Snatch 3 ladders (1,2,3)

      Legs
      High Bar Squat 4x6-8
      RDL 4x8-12
      1H KB ABC 3 Ladders (1,2,3)

      Cardio
      2H KB Swing x100
      5k run/30m erg

      Push 2
      Warmup: Cuban Press 2x10-20
      OHP 4x6-8
      Front Squat 4x8-12
      Ring Dip 4xF
      Floor Press 4x6-8
      1H KB Clean 3 Ladders (1,2,3)

      Pull 2:
      Deadlift - 3 Ladders (1,2,3)
      Ring Pullup 4xF
      Ring Row 4x8-12
      Superset: Bicep Curl 4x8-12/Ring Facepull 4xF
      1H Kettlebell Swing x100

      Friday:
      Rest

      Whats wrong with gslp? Its a good starting point.

    I just started going to the gym recently, trying to build a PPL split. Does this look alright?

    Push - Mon/Thurs:

    Dumbbell Bench Press 10x4
    Dips 10x4
    Dumbbell Flyes 10x4
    Lat Raises 10x4
    Incline Press 10x4
    Skullcrushers 10x4
    OH Press 10x4
    Cable Flyes 10x4

    Pull - Tues/Fri:

    Bent Row 10x4
    Shrugs 10x4
    Dumbbell Bicep Curl 10x4
    Front Raise 10x4
    Lat Pulldown 10x4
    Upright Row 10x4

    Side Plank 30 seconds x4
    Front Plank 30 seconds x4
    Superman Planks 30 seconds x4

    I feel like I've been getting decent results so far. Aiming for hypertrophy volume but still building it out.

      Too many exercices, you'll spend 15h in the gym per week, as a beginner you'll be overtraining in a few weeks of doing this.

      Push: way too many chest exercises, take out the dips, do ohp on one day, incline on the other but not both. do only one fly movement.

      Pull: Start with deadlifts or RDLs, do either front raise or upright rows. put the pullups after the compounds not the last exercise when you are fatigued already. gorilla row 20? i would take the out completely.

      Legs:You could the the RDLs here after squats if you wanted to. Do the leg press after the compounds not last.

      Add more direct biceps,triceps work. Don't see any rear delt exercises, do some.

      Don't train 6 days a week as a beginner its way too much. I would do 4 days a week with one leg/core day. You can recover better and push harder on training days. Also don't do 4*10 on every exercise it leads to junk volume. Look into progression schemes on your own. I would do 3*8-10 on compounds.

        Thank you for the advice. I made some adjustments already for my routine today.

        I didn't think it would be a problem to start weightlifting 6 days a week because I've been boxing 6 days a week for a long time, and it's just the habit I have now. If I'm doing both though, then I guess it would be better to scale back a bit and take weekends off. Lift weights weekday mornings and box weekday evenings.

        Meant that one for you, whoops

    Please note that I need critiques, also consider the routine and what it does.
    Definitions:
    The big 5: deadlift, bench, squat, ohp, row
    Note: incline press, seated dumbbell press, seated ohp all count as ohp and variations for this purpose. Chin up, vertical row, pendlay row, and dumbbell row count as row variations or rows themselves.
    Note 2: for variations you can double reps and do an isolation instead, depending on mood.
    Dumbbell bounding: bounding but with dumbbells extended in front of you
    Sandbag walks: heavy weight on one shoulder for some distance, then the other for the same. Rest then start on the other.
    RPE = 10 - reps in reserve

    Workout A :
    - Block Power Snatch
    - Front squat
    - Snatch grip deadlift (from low blocks, mid shin level)
    - weighted plank / Bulgarian split squat / face pull (superset)

    Workout B :
    - Block Power clean & jerk
    - back squat (high bar)
    - bench press
    - weighted plank / Romanian deadlift / lat pulldown (superset)

    I alternate between A and B every 3 or 4 cycles, 1 cycle = 5 days (might be 4 to 7). I always have a swimming session between each weight workout.

      Yeah these threads bother my OCD because most people just list their exercises and/or their weekly schedule. Not a routine or a program.

      >dont know how to progress
      Add weight and/or reps every 2nd week.
      Stall?
      Adjust diet, sleep, effort.
      Fatigue?
      Deload, adjust routine, or see above.

      Is there really much more to it than that?

      >Is there really much more to it than that?
      Yes there is a lot, a good program will do it for you. And good programming is more about getting the right stimulus-fatigue-recovery ratio to give progress without going too slow on one end or stalling and burning out on the other. Often when you’re getting to good strength levels you need periods of over-reaching and then periods to rest a bit extra and allow adaption/compensation.
      You can do it in strict ways like linear periodisation or strict/simple like linear progression more like you said. Some programs might say reduce rest periods, or add drop sets, add total sets.
      I like to do by adjusting reps to reach a target RPE each session, so like by weeks go RPE 6-7, 8-9, then max 9-failure, then deload/RPE 5-6, then increase weight next block. For strength focus I do a strict %1RM periodised.

        uses RPE and thus has build in progression if you are an advanced enough lifter to be able to predict weight for a given RPE. Further, my program is in it's infantile stages.

        • 1 year ago
          Anonymous

          No I enjoyed that one, at least you said RPE. And having choices of different exercises in the same category is nice when you are doing them frequently as variations especially. Don’t need exact same lifts exact same days every time as long as there is some plan and progress. You could think about planning periodisation or progression rates. And that is a lot of every lift? All big 5 in the same day, for multiple days every week? Could probably change some of the volume to focus a bit more. Or drop some volume, more isn’t always better.
          Got to lift big to hooist those big rocks I guess, just eat big too, Godspeed.
          It’s people like

          I do lower body on Monday/thursday and upper body on Tuesday/Friday is this good or bad? I used to do 3 full body workouts a week but found it too time consuming, but I don’t know if this new routine is spaced out too much.

          Though wtf

          • 1 year ago
            Anonymous

            I agree... The big 5 very often is a lot. I know it's a lot of volume, I don't think it's too inappropriate as long as intensity is lowered (perhaps RPE 6 instead of 8 and 4 instead of 6) the other option ofc is lowering the volume, but how should it be lowered? 2 or 3 sets of 5 for 5 exercises still takes a very long time, and eliminating exercises from particular days removes the symmetry. A conception underneath the program is that the aesthetic of logic and completeness of training be considered.
            Perhaps workout can be 1 sub 1 or 1.1 and 1.2 and 1.3 and so on where the sub number indicates the focus of the workout (in terms of big five) looking again at my program let's take day 2 (peak intensity day) and find 2.3, where X.3 indicates a squat focus.

            >Day 2.3
            3x5 squats @ RPE 8
            3x3 remainder of big 5 in variations @ RPE 8
            Sand
            Flex
            >Explanation
            This gives us 15 sets (instead of 40) plus cardio plus cool down. It hits every muscle but the focus is on squat (or on non-squat depending on how you think about volume/intensity.) It still may be a very high amount of effort, as this should be the most difficult day of the Tetractys and is followed by a day of relative rest. The intensity should be calculated to have each period move upward in intensity like a saw wave. The program definitely needs more development before it can be considered worth trying. Also whether what I defined as the big five is actually the big 5 or whether a big 4 can be found is likely a part of the future conceptions.

        Just did 12 weeks of Ben Simmons super total program.
        Managed beat some all time prs, so pretty happy. Squatted 227.5 and deadlifted 250. Just missed a 3 plate clean and a 2 plate snatch.

        Photo is from week 10, the squat volume was brutal. Never done that much volume at that much weight.

        Wouldn't reccomend this to a novice though.

    I have drafted a routine for getting some strength back after not lifting for a year. Lost 24 pounds since august, ready to carefully bulk up again.

    Training is every other day. Linear progression like SS/SL

    A:
    Front squat 5x5
    BB bench 5x5
    Pendlay rows 5x5
    Biceps exercise 5x10
    Lateral raise 5x8
    Abs

    B:
    Deadlift 3x5
    BB OHP 5x5
    Pullup (weight) 5x5
    Triceps exercise 5x10

    C:
    Power clean 5x3
    Dips (weight) 5x5 (?)
    DB bench 5x10/DB OHP 5x10
    Snatch grip deadlift 3x5 (?)
    Abs

    Goal is 150 kg DL, 50 kg OHP and 90 kg bench next spring.

    How moronic on a scale from 1 to 10?

    I superset the push and pull exercises on the same day for an upper/lower split for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.

    I fricking hate the one legged deadlifts though and I’m looking for an alternative

    Greetings homos, all of your routines suck. Mine is best. Full body 3x a week. I am greatest.

      Are you running a novice linear progression? DUP? HLM?

        I change it up every 3-4 months to encourage muscle confusion and growth. I’ve been on a high volume full body routine since May and I recently changed it to up the intensity by reducing rest times to 45 sec for isolation and 90 for compound. I’ve been on a sustained 300 cal deficit for 19 months trying to hit my goal weight; so progression has been aimed at keeping muscle while losing fat (I gained a lot of muscle lifting several years ago then quit lifting because I got busy and then got fat)

          I should add, prior to May I was on an average volume full body routine. I added volume in may to change it up and also because I got a cable crossover machine to add to my squat rack, barbell, etc

    Doing a 4 day push/pull thing that has squats on push and rdl/bent over row on pulls.
    I just started and i like the routine after doing SL for some time but i feel like my grip is a weak factor specially when i do rdl/bent over rows on the same day.
    I should just stick with it and develop more grip strength or just suck it up and get chalk or versagrip etc?

    I have been doing pic related and planning to do it until I start stalling badly. I like it, but I'm not sure is there any point of doing lateral raises/curls only once a week
