Forum: Workout Programs

I'm thinking about changing my split routine to the below upper/body. My current stats are: BP: 225x8 Squat: 275x6 DL: 345x6 What do you think? Would you change anything? Given RDL and DL in the routine, I'm thinking about removing the "optional" back exercises to save time. Monday:...

Hello everybody, i've stared following a beginner pull push legs (which i exchanged for grip and core) workout about a half year ago. My goal is to get stronger overall and get a better definition. Im not looking for big gains of mass. I do my training to compliment my hobby rock climbing...

Is there any need to program load with percentages for compund lifts? Like in strength programs where you often have a percentage of 1RM to lift. Does just a rep range and a RIR/RPE goal be fine for hypertrophy? For hypertrophy, does it matter if you plan your progression reactively vs...

I do a 6 day split. I have been lifting 9 or so months and I have seen some good results. However, I have noticed people have said on internet I should be exercising each muscle group 2x per week. I haven't done that since lol. I've been doing each muscle group once per day and core 3x/week. People...
