Rebirth of a great thread. No non-fitness stuff here please.
SirCallen's Routine
PROGRAM OUTLINES
•Full Body or
•Upper / Lower or
•Push / Pull / Legs or
•Back and Bis / Chest and Tris / Legs and shoulders or
•Some logical combination of the above or in such a manner that one creates a balanced work out
•Look on the internet for one no beginner has ever created a good workout routine ever
TYPICAL LIFTS - MAIN MOVEMENTS (FREE WEIGHTS)
•Bench (BB or DB)
•Rows (BB or DB)
•Squat (Lowbar or Highbar)
•Deadlift (Traditional or Sumo or Hybrid)
•OHP (BB or DB)
TYPICAL LIFTS - ACCESSORIES
•Dips, Incline/Decline Bench, Chest Flies, etc
•Pullups, Seated Cable Rows, Lat Pulldowns, etc
•Front Squat, Leg Press, Lunges, etc
•Deficit Deadlift, Rack Pulls, Back Extensions, etc
•OHP (DB)
MISCELLANEOUS - ACCESSORIES
•Face Pulls (arguably extremely important for shoulder health)
•Bis/Tris
•Calves (lel)
•Traps - Shrugs
THINGS TO DO
•Identify goals (strength, aesthetics, sport, etc, combination?)
•Identify if novice or not
•Choose a program based on the above
•Be consistent about it
•Learn proper form
•Don't ego lift. If you start lifting with maxes you'll only plateau sooner
•Have a vague sense of nutrition and calories consumed and protein consumed
•Keep track of weights. You want to progress over some period. Novices can increase linearly every week for a time. Intermediates might increase every month, etc.
NOTES
•Some bros look like cavemen - do 2:1 pull:push volume
•No such thing as glamor muscles - create a balanced physique
•A thick back looks great
•If you're training for sport you'll add explosive lifts like cleans and box jumps and stuff like that
•Cardio ain't gonna kill you or your gains and is important for heart health
•Don't worry too much about arms I don't even hardly hit them anymore they see a lot of action in the main lifts

Garja's Routine
I train for aestethics not for lifting competitions.
I still use a monofrequency/bro-split routine but I'm gradually switching to multifrequency. I'll probably do a full body program with focus on strenght for 3 months or so and then go back to mono adding some intensity techniques which is what I like the most, atleast for now.
I do a 4 days split at the moment:
Monday: chest/back
Tuesday: legs
Thursday: back/chest
Friday: shoulder/arms
I focus mostly on chest and back because I think they're behind compared to all the rest. Also arms don't need that much specific training anyway.
Each routine has basically a compound exercise first and then other more specific ones.
Gibson's Routine
Pull day leg day push day off day. 3 exercises per muscle group 9 sets of 5-8 reps, very little rest, if you can't do 5 reps lower the weight.

Re: ESOC Fitness Thread
For bodybuilder type of training I dislike doing each muscle group only once a week, it's not as frequent as it should be. You should train let's say chest atleast twice a week. For average lifter your body will recover in 2 days max 3. Your body is resting 5 days a week for nothing when it shouldn't be. As natural bodybuilder you should cut your training in half, so for example monday and thursday chest. You don't need to pump your muscles like hell when you have greater input for splitting it up for 2 days.
And the internet training programs of bodybuilders are very misleading because they're on STEROIDS. For them the once a week workout for each musclegroup works cause of roids. But for natural bb'er it's very shitty way of training.
ps. powerlifting 4 lyfe

Re: ESOC Fitness Thread
Yeah, that's a good point. I remember when I did something like a 5day split. If I compare it to my current plan, I made very slow progress

Re: ESOC Fitness Thread
A key to training is NOT how you lift your splits etc. It is ALL about how much fuel you put in your body.
I have worked out for 23 years now, and have learned that the ONLY way to truly get big is to EAT EAT EAT.
At the moment I eat 7 times a day and this is vital for my growth and success. Eat big to get Big.-
Your workout is second to this

This is correct, eating is the most important and the hardest thing for training.

Re: ESOC Fitness Thread
yeah you really need to do the key muscle groups (chest,back, shoulders, legs, arms, abs) at least twice a week to make any progress
Re: ESOC Fitness Thread
Another key is to figure out what works for your body. When I started out - Arnold was the MAN and the one we all talked about. But his routine didn't fit 99% of us. It fit his body and diet. I remember an interview with Frank Zane, one of Arnolds competitors, and he and everyone else wanted to do what Arnold was doing - cuz I had to be working right? I mean he was 7 times Mr. O. So Frank went out to Cali to work out with Arnold. He quickly found out that he could not keep up with Arnold, as his body simply didn't respond well to the way Arnold was doing it. This despite Frank being at the very top of his game at the time.
So my point is - find exercises that your body responds well to and don't worry about what others are doing. When you find yourself hitting a plateau, change it up.
I personally never know what I am going to do before I hit the gym. Sure I know I want to train back, but I don't know which routines I will do. I go by how my body feels, and by if I have had my meals leading up to (Or if my 2-year-old has kept me up all night then a different approach is needed). So I keep my body guessing - old school? Yes - but this is what works for me.

Actually not. If you have a very intense workout on each muscle group once a week that can still be fine if you eat the right way

Yea fitness can mean anything from weightlifting to swimming to spin class. Anything that has to do with staying physically fit.

Re: ESOC Fitness Thread
I personally find "fitness" being more like an lifestyle. While practising fitness it's more like cardio type of training or training basic physique. When weightlifting and so fort are not branded as life choices as fitness is. in my opinion.

How do you define physically fit though? There are some lifters out there who are strong af and have huge amount of muscles. But have high percentage of fat and are too heavy for their own good. Like Ray Williams, super strong and accomplished powerlifter but would you describe him as "fitness". When obviously his life choices could be healthier.
Sorry for taking as exaggerating example
