Personally I like the daily workouts! I'm all about the training, even if my diet/nutrition and recovery aren't always on point. Plus it's insightful to see what others are doing for their specific goals. Like Smith_69 and his shoulders session yesterday introduced me and a couple others to a...
Just checked out the couple pics you have on there - you're freakin jacked bro! Gonna be very interesting what this can do for you, especially dem TRAPS!
For diet I would always recommend that you're getting at least 1 gram of protein per body pound. However for increasing size and to some degree strength I would bump that up to 2 grams of protein per body pound. So you may not be getting enough protein in. Increase your protein shakes if you...
I personally love back squatting HEAVY! And have yet to injure myself or even feel "off" as a result. I typically squat below parallel and even with heavy loads as long as I'm keeping myself right and tension throughout I'm typically good to go. I will say that I try not to overload the spine...
My suggestions...
For Quads:
-Barbell Jump Squats. I know you said you don't want to back squat but I'm not sure if these count or not. I do them as Jamie Lewis recommends.
-Zercher Squat. I prefer using a Fat Bar or wrap a towel around the bar.
-Weighted Hill Sprints using a vest or some...
I'll add to this as I train out of my home. I started with the basics:
-a place to lift (built my own lifting platform from plywood and horse stall mats).
-a GOOD barbell.
-a ****-ton of plates. Bumpers if you can afford it mixed in with some cheap Craigslist iron.
-solid squat rack or...
I have but it's been a while. If I remember correctly I really liked it. May have to go back and review it. It has more of a pseudo-powerlifting focus but it could maybe fit the mark since it's easily hackable. Idk.
Has anyone tried PHUL? I really like that it's a 4 day upper/lower split with...
To me it depends on how much time you have to devote each week. I enjoy both high frequency and high volume so I typically go for either a full body EOD split or an upper/lower split. I've used typical "bro" splits to some success but they were never ideal for me. Plus if I missed a day because...
Second this - I'm no bench monster (only hitting 285# @ 140BW, want dem 3 plates each side!) but back training for your bench is essential. I'll frequently throw in rows, my preference is for Pendlay and T-Bar/Meadows style though there's something to be said for Krocs too, along with pull-up...
Hey AM,
Just looking for some suggestions on a new lifting routine. Been training consistently (maybe "constantly" is a better word) for the last 5 years. I train out of my house.
-Power cage
-2 Oly barbells
-Axle bar
-EZ bar
-Over 500lbs in bumpers
-Another 200lbs plus in iron
-Pull-up bar...
Completely agree - everyone forgets that all the elites could out bench, squat, deadlift, etc. just about anyone else. When you're squatting 8 hundo for reps (Coleman) chances are your higher rep work is still significantly heavier than most others.
Even look at powerlifters like Chris Duffin...
