    If I were to do Mike Mentzer’s HIT, for a fullbody workout. Should I still contain 1-2 excercise per muscle?

    @bobo_mcpherson I honestly would just encourage you to pick a program. Any program. Work hard, reap the benefits of your efforts. Over time (years) you'll learn to adjust things for you. My first program that I followed when I was 18 (37 now) was Chad Waterbury's - Total Body Training. I think...

    If I were to do Mike Mentzer’s HIT, for a fullbody workout. Should I still contain 1-2 excercise per muscle?

    @bobo_mcpherson There are programs and there are principles. You're going to want to take the principles in order to create a program. HIT teaches you about working very hard and putting forth effort. A very valuable tool, as in my opinion, you won't be able to accurately assess Reps in Reserve...

    Top 10 exercises

    @victorcourville In no particular order: RDL's, Rear Foot Elevated Split Squats, DB Bench (on an adjustable bench for incline and decline proposes), Chest Supported Rows, Zottman curls, DB Lateral Raises. Honestly, that's six and they'd take you pretty damn far.

    A storm in a teacup

    @dawn16 I plan on it at some point. Have a show marked September of 2024 in my calendar right now with 7 months before that as a "decision" day. That decision is going to be based on body comp after a slow, steady mass phase.

    @savis I like it. There's a spreadsheet I've found that did similar, but this was simpler.

    Progressive overload variations

    @savis It's variable depending on the exercise, but most of my compounds, the goal is 8-9rpe each set. Isolations, the first set is usually an 8 with the final sets goal being failure.

    Progressive overload variations

    @savis I follow a double progression with a certain RPE goal set to set. Say I'm aiming for 8-12 reps across three sets with an RPE of 8. The first sets weight is 50lbs, but I hit 14 reps before that 8rpe is achieved. I'll increase the weight for the next set so that I hit the goal within the...
