What is your preferred weight lifting routine?

Post by AOE3_Returner »

I find working the shoulder/bicep/tricep along with compound movement to work the whole arms to be the best. I do about 3 different lifts for each muscle for each lifting routine which seems to work well. I only use 60 lb (27.2155 kg) or 27 kg dumbbells at the moment so I'm a beginner lol and the barbell I lift around 200 lbs or around 90 kg

Who else lifts and what type of lifting routine do you like to do?

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.

I thought the goal was to be able to do 10 reps? I see the benefit of only being able to do only 5 reps of a weight because of high intensity for improved muscle growth. I forgot to mention legs and they are very important to work out because you get most of your human growth hormone from legs workouts. Do you ever lift to 10 reps or just 5-8? Your workout routine is pretty different than mine though.

I don't really know what you are saying in your OP. Anyways...

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

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.

Damn you guys must shredded as fuckkk. If you've been doing that a while then you guys should start to change your workout routine up a bit to reduce your muscles getting used to the same thing. It is good to shock your system once in a while.

@deleted_user2 I used to do that but what it worked out was my beer belly :hmm:

I was going to write a long comprehensive post, but I realised it required too much effort so I closed the tab. I might write later at some point though.









FYI.
