Forum: Workout Programs

I have classes Tuesday and Thursday mornings, so I'm working out M, W, F on a full body. Since I don't know what I'm doing, I picked a program I found online by Jeremy Ethier. It's 7 exercises on an A/B full body workout. The problem is, I run out of steam after the 5th exercise. This...

In the face of a stall, which do you find more effective: removing 10% or so from the bar or knocking reps back down to the lowest end of your range? Which method is better suited to allow for somewhat of a period of recovery? I say somewhat because we’re assuming that regular deloads are already...

2018 we had a squat thread, goal 10,000,000. We got almost 4,500,000 that year if I remember right. This year, all free weight squats count: barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, water bottles, bricks, backpack full of books, concrete plates, heavy pole, or anything you've got to squat. Just weigh it...

Anyone else try this Yates 4 day split? I have done it before and really like it. I'm usually a PPL type of person but this setup is really awesome. Day 1: Chest / Biceps Day 2: Quads / Hamstrings / Calves Day 3: Off Day 4: Shoulders / Triceps Day 5: Back / Rear...

Hey, just found this 5 Week Hypertrophy Workout Routine from Mike Israetel that looks great but was just wondering what was the "style" of this program. I thought a program was either UL, PPL, Split. This one doesn't seem to be any of those.. (Is it still effective though?) "Mike Israetel 5 Week...

https://www.jimwendler.com/blogs/jimwendler-com/101078918-building-the-monolith-5-3-1-for-size Thoughts on this program? Maybe a dumb question but am I actually supposed to squat the low weight that it says? Or it just an example?

Alright so this where I'm inexperienced at when it comes to lifting. After 2 weeks of hitting the weights hard at 6 weekly sets, full body 3x a week split, progress is looking like it's about to come to a halt. I've made rapid progress on every single lift adding weight and reps left and right very...

I want to make sure my routine looks ok. I've been lifting on and off for years and I'm an extremely hard gainer. I'm a 195# 30 YOM. I've been consistently lifting and eating 4kish calories a day for about 4 months with no weight change. My chest and shoulders are actually growing for once but just...

Watched his recent progression video over 15 years. From 7:15 on https://youtu.be/DBLWbAeyELU He started training at about 15 in a nuclear wasteland. In a different video he briefly admitted to not being natty as he was answering questions. However, I highly doubt he used as early as 17 yrs...

This class combines lifting (upper and lower body), core strength, and cardio and last about 75 minutes, it’s a real killer workout and leaves...
