@cheapphenonline Low reps require high motor-unit recruitment right from the start. Feeling tired and generally fatigued is going to reduce your ability to achieve that. Higher rep sets function a little differently, where effort is required gradually to recruit more high threshold fibers...

@menorah Anytime! I’ll link you an awesome video about full body splits with a hypertrophy focus down below, it might give you some more ideas/strategies.

@menorah I think the idea a few different templates you rotate between is great. I do this as well. However, I would advise against doing 3-4 sets for each, especially if you’re training to failure. That’s way too much volume and it’s going to beat you up quickly. For high frequency splits...

@forever02 I see. The drop sets are probably unnecessary, especially with deadlifts, but the main reason your progress has stalled is because you’re not eating enough to support further progress.

@luvhisgrace Your PT doesn’t know anything. Anyone idiot can make you do a bunch of junk volume that will leave you sore for days. 20 sets per workout will not be sustainable for more than a few weeks at best. I would possibly see if they would be willing to work with you on creating a better...

@forever02 You’re in a deficit. Gains cannot continue indefinitely without calories to support new tissue. Also not sure if I’m understanding your routine, but it appears you’re doing 7 sets of things like chest press and deadlifts? If I’m not mistaken and that’s what you’re doing, that is way...

@luxchmi That’s a lofty goal but I respect it. Whether or not it’s actually possible is largely going to be determined by genetics, very few people, if any, are able to walk around at a shredded 240 at 6’3 naturally. Genetics aside, your training and nutrition needs to be dialled in and you’re...

@christie12 I like to program one compound for every major muscle/division and one isolation. Keep in mind every consecutive set you do in a workout will be less effective than the last so prioritizing the movements that are the most productive is a smart thing to do. So following that logic...

@christie12 If you picked a couple movements you liked and got rid of the redundant ones you would see much faster progress. You should be able to add weight to your lifts each session.

@francislhevinn I don’t really feel much happening when I do RDLs either. They’re not really a “feely” kind of exercise. As long as your form is good don’t worry about how it feels.

@backnforth Recommended by who? I prefer to add weight until I hit my bottom threshold for reps. There’s no rules to this, do whatever you want.

@christie12 Respectfully I think what you’ve got here suffers from redundant exercises and junk volume. Do you have a plan for implementing progressive overload?

@raptordesign Exercise selection looks fine to me. Volume is fine also, if anything slightly on the higher side. As long as you are satisfied with the rate of progress I don’t think you need to change anything.

@daniellemarie17 The scale never lies, if it’s not going down you’re not in a deficit. I’d recommend reassessing your tracking, something isn’t adding up.

@lchelling1029 Respectfully, that sucks

@lostfornow Which ever split you enjoy and consistently train hard doing will be the best one.

@abramsailor Yup.

@lupacexi Then ditch all that shit and go back to the basics. Get 6-10 sets to failure per muscle per week. Follow a linear progressive overload scheme (keep reps the same and add weight each session). That’s all you ever need to do to get big.

@billybob I’d add a tricep compound to push day and remove the forearm work if you are hitting back the next day. Also not sure if you’ve listed these in the order you plan on doing them but I would never start a back day with biceps. What will actually determine whether this works however is...

@lupacexi What’s the goal with this training style? I think periodization has a place in strength training but not hypertrophy. Any program designed for hypertrophy that has deloads, reps in reserve, or volume periodization is not as effective as it could be.
