Lifting weights

Scroll to see replies

So been thinking a lot about how I’m gonna train and eat after wedding and when starting work, so thought I’d make a post going over it in detail. Feel free to tl;dr it, or to dip in and give tips/criticism wherever you think. I’ll be fine if no-one responds at all tho :tongue:

Spoiler




Tl;dr program:-

AxBxAxx

A
Heavy big 4
Rows for reps
Bis, shoulders and abs

B
Heavy pull ups
Paused and incline bench for reps
RDLs for reps
Tris, shoulders and abs
That A session is horrific. If you're doing A B, doing an upper lower might be wiser or push, pull

Yeah I think it's gonna be fine at first but when the weights get heavier after a couple of weeks I may have to jig things round depending on how it goes. As per the other thread I just created (I havent read your reply yet btw), I don't find benching/pressing too tiring and am only starting with 5 sets combined, so the main thing will be the squats and deads - but my squat is still piss weak for now :tongue:
Like the plan son.
13% is low enough. 1/2 lb a week.

Second what Cucumber said though

thx homie

Bah, squat bench dead in one session is completely standard, often with more volume. Sticking 2 sets of presses and some bb work on the end shouldnt wreck me...



....rite? tell me its gona b ok

pls

It's gonna be ok bby. Just make sure you take those Jason Genova 'skittles' and your tropicana.
Then you can do 'whatever it takes' according to the best natural bodybuilder Rich Piana.

I'll leave you with an inspiring quote:
'We don't care about dying, we're freaks!' Said the theologian Jason Genova.


In all seriousness, time to make some sickening gainz bro :smile:

If you aren't squatting both sessions I'd split your heavy squat and heavy deadlifts, so do the Romanian high rep work after your heavy squats. I think you have too much push volume too, more than your pulls which isn't good. Maybe throw in some chin ups and dumbell rows if you want. Or remove the dead stop/spoto press from workout A.

Yeah as above, I'm confident I'll be fine with the squats and deads at first, and I want to make sure I'm doing both twice per week. When the deads get heavier it'll get trickier though, so perhaps I'll switch the heavy deads on A with the RDLs so I'm doing the lighter stuff twice and the heavy work once.

Re pulling:tongue:ushing, I'm not sure. Deffo wanna keep those presses in there and I wouldn't be totally against more rows on B, but I'm not sure its necessary. I agree I've got slightly more work on upper body pushes than pulls, but part of that is precisely because my pressing is so weak - I don't think im likely to be in a situation where my front delts are overdeveloped compared to my rears, especially with the rear raises every session plus the isometric work from all the dead variations!

Cheers for advice

I agree that 'heavy' big four on one day has the potential to be tough, sometimes twice a week. I guess that 'heavy' doesn't mean that all need to be insane intensities every session.

Just enjoy it bro.
If 1 week of mildly over-eating gets rid of your 'abs' then you never really had abs :tongue:

What is the plan when you return?
