@harryridwick Bodypart splits usually give a 1x week frequency. Upper/lower 4x week gives 2x frequency for each muscle group. Weekly number of sets should be somewhere in the safe zone with 8-12sets per bodypart. Going above this might be too much for most.

@noita Proper number of weekly sets depends on many parameters. More is usually better but there are some practical limits which are related to intensity, time and recovery. Most of the popular weight lifting routines use about 8-12 sets for main muscle groups since this is a sweet spot for most...

@asjoe I would select a program based on lifestyle. Lets say you want to train 4 days a week but in a long run you are able to workout only 3 days a week consistently (skipping leg days due to work, study etc.). You would had been better off selecting that 3 day routine instead of 4 day routine...

@cristo That is a great tip for anyone doing static holds! Remember to deload every 6-12 weeks depending on the program and your recovery. But if you now start with a new sheet you will get the deload/ramp-up week so you should be fresh when you start a new training block. I've been a bit...

@hollowbodyblues Bodyweight strength training is great for that. Basically you can run any weights program as long as you select exercises that produce a similar movement pattern and load. (not to include barbell only specific movements such as heavy squats, deadlifts and olympic lifts etc.)...

@asmodea If you are training with lower reps lets say in the range of 4-10reps its good to leave a few reps in the tank on the first and second set. Third set is usually all out effort like 8 reps, 7reps and 7 reps. If you are working with lighter weights and higher rep range 12-20reps for...

@jennyvt Sure! Check out the section "How to add custom exercises" from how to use guide: https://twoworkouts.blogspot.com/2021/04/free-bodyweight-strength-training.html Then just add your own barbell, dumbbell, resistance band etc. exercises to the list and select it from the dropdown menu...

@yager There is some basic too for meal planning. Read the article here it has pretty much all you need to know with free meal plans: https://twoworkouts.blogspot.com/2020/09/meal-planning-matters-all-you-need-to.html You can copy the meal plan sheets to your own drive. They work well for meal...

@obolixterix Great! You can create the RR routine with the empty template I posted if you wish. Thats one way to track progress.

A while ago I shared the Google Sheets template I've been using for my own training. Since I'm using the sheets actively myself I wanted to add some additional features I could use. All the functions are still script free so you don't have to enable anything in your Drive to start using these...

@waffle_anna Thank you!

@dawn16 I would feel guilty if someone paid for strength training programs which have existed decades. These workout splits have been around for ages but I have not seen many with bodyweight progression...

@kam4031 Could be a cool project but maybe the existing apps give better functionality already for those who want more. Sheets is pretty good for basic stuff but there are limits unless scripts are used. And I want to keep the sheet files script free so that they are safe for everyone to use...

@noita I would say there is not much difference to a 3-day routines since the weekly training volume is not much different. I usually run 2x fullbody or upper/lower split with around 6-8sets for main muscle groups and something like 3-5sets for arms/abs/calves. I prefer staight sets since those...

@pfm1999 Thanks! I'll let you know first when I have something.

@fisherking Great! It would had been a shame not to share since I know that not everybody likes apps. Even if you would not use the tracking and log sheets the planning page helps anyone to plan their routine in a way that the training volume is visible. You can see right away if you planned too...

@lizmoshes Here is an article I wrote about the load of different pushups and compared to bench press load: https://twoworkouts.blogspot.com/2020/09/push-ups-compared-to-bench-press-with.html There is a large variation between induviduals and even between each rep you do. So using exact...

@fisherking The download should work. I'm not sure why drive would block the download. Navigate to the program with this link to browse all: https://drive.google.com/drive/@pt8214/folders/10KJm1IZVU4AuRiyZw7vYxIxnRQLu5MEX Right click -> Download I tested it with another Google account that...

@mrsmason Good. Hope it helps. At least there is a template now you can use and customize to track progress.

I've been using different training apps for years now but they all have had some features that I didn't quite like. First of all I like that my information is available without being depended on 3rd party software and support for your device. This has happened few times where the support for the...
