6 reps 3-4 sets on most things, and just lifting 4-5 times a week brought me alot of progress

i just do 2 sets 1-2 rir

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

I base on compound lifts on free weights, squats deadlifts and bench, and do some stuff like skullcrushers, decline weighted situps etc for other body parts that dont get activated much during the big 3

im nearing my third year of gym and i still see progress. Genuinely as long as you arent doing 1 set per sometimes and actually lift not til mild discomfort you will see progress, you have to grow if your body is under pressure. your brain doesnt care if you do 3 sets of 12 or 5 sets of 5 aslong as you actually lift shit

i think you would most definetly get more gains doing something like chest flies to failure and kelso shrugs

honestly W ragebait I fell for it

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

For chest I do either flat bench barbell or incline dumbbell press

For bag I do different shit dependant on the muscle, but I mostly just do deadlifts 4-5 sets of 10, weighted pullups sets of 6, barbell shrugs mostly behind back, and barbell rows. Sometimes I add shit like lat pulldowns and machine stuff but thats mostly accessory work.

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

not even bait. though my shit genuinely looks like a ulr split.

I either do;
Chest, Tris, Biceps, Core
or
Legs, Back, Shoulders

 

[Troo_]

I don’t go to the gym no more

do you know what ulr stands for?

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

do you know what ulr stands for?

upper/lower no?

forgot rest

 

[Latinolooksmaxxer]

A B push x pull split, both sets fullbody

 

[redeemthecard]

upper/lower no?

forgot rest

yes. how is chest tri bi core considered anything close to upper? your split has nothing to do with ulr. it doesnt matter, too. do any split that can keep you consistently in the gym while progressing. it literally doesn't matter, just have a split u stick to.

i would cut down on volume, imo there is no reason to overload on pressing movements with 3-4 sets, one pressing movement as a compound and chest flies as a isolation is enough, weighted pull ups are great but i would switch barbell rows(because of the lack of stability) for something like a wide grip low row

i mean the shit i do rn is what i stick to for a couple months right now, i previously did Push Pull (legs on push), but it just pissed me off genuinely so i started doin gwhat im doing rn.

Chest Arms Core

Back legs shoulders

Nah nah, I either do flat bench or incline DB. Not both on same day.
Flat bench I do 3-4 sets of 6 reps, incline DB I do 3 dropsets (for volume)

i still don’t understand why so much volume but if thats what you like do that

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

strength training, im not far from 100kg bench at a bodyweight of 68

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

strength training, im not far from 100kg bench at a bodyweight of 68

though I do alot of volume for back since its a big muscle that needs it

 

[nocajebudala]

though I do alot of volume for back since its a big muscle that needs it

eh, depends, if u go to failure any basic excersise is enough

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

eh, depends, if u go to failure any basic excersise is enough

Yeah but back does need a bit of volume to be until failure since its a big and strong muscle

 

[redeemthecard]

though I do alot of volume for back since its a big muscle that needs it

this the type of shit the fucking uncs at my gym be telling me.

"tone the muscle"

no nigga, there is no "strength" training. no, you don't need more volume for back. no, you don't need dropsets. if you are consistently progressing with strength, you will build muscle. you can NOT get stronger while not building muscle. its literally impossible.

drop the bullshit volume and dropsets

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

Yeah but back does need a bit of volume to be until failure since its a big and strong muscle

also offtopic but dont train calves highkirk. Unless if ur training for aesthetics. Empty weight that doesnt help with squatting or anything

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Full body training. 3 times a week. 4 years gymaxxing

Strength training focuses on strength, there is muscle growth but not as much as with pure hypertrophy/accessory training. Same thing in reverse.

Also "tone the muscle" is retarded i agree.

 

[redeemthecard]

again, no such thing as "training for aesthetics" and "training for strength".

great frequency

that's been debunked a thousand times over.

Alright bro Im hopping on 2x 12 Push Pull you convinced me.

As long as im seeing progress in what I do Imma continue doing it. Im progressing in weight almost every session so it clearly works for me.

Genuinely as long as you eat enough and train hard enough anything will work.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

great frequency

Yeah. I've lost a lot of weight since last year. I used to be a bulk maxed ogre but I've gotten into running since later year

you're either lying about going to the gym for 3 years, or lying that you're progressing every session. literally just not possible.

what do you mean 2x 12 push pull

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

Yeah. I've lost a lot of weight since last year. I used to be a bulk maxed ogre but I've gotten into running since later year

Running is fun though I don't really have anywhere to go running

"just run on the sidewalk"

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

2 sets 12 reps on any exercise

push pull

 

[nocajebudala]

"just run on the sidewalk"

you can always use the threadmill, even tho i hate running, walking mogs imo

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

what do you mean 2x 12 push pull

Small progress, but topset being bigger or for more reps, or each session atleast one set is bigger weight than last time. Sometimes I stall but then it goes up again.

And bro I started on my 14th birthday, and my 17th is coming up in 2 months and 2 days

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

walking is supreme. sprinting right after it.

Jogging spikes cortisol

 

[redeemthecard]

push pull

12 is too much, find a weight you can do 7-9 reps with. people go on about some 6-8 but truth is 99% of gym goers are not experienced enough to keep good form while lifting in the 6-8 range. at the last 1-2 reps their form breaks down, which is just pointless. go on 7-9 reps with good form. it's a bit more fatiguing but definitely recoverable from.

as time passes and you get more experienced you can go on 6-8 if you're confident in your form staying good till the last rep.

I do 6 reps of most shit with big weight. Bench Squat Deadlift I do with weight heavier than me for 3-5 sets dependant on how fuelled up I am

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

Theyre fun ngl

 

[UtterFailureAnd5'5]

I only do dropsets on chest, but I like them
