@bravechrisitian Follow a proven strength program , written by actual professionals. Not listening to fitness advice from TikTok will save you a lot of time (and headache). You will find all the information you need on the wiki. Influencers make their money through engagements and sponsors, so...

Since I have been asked several times about the program Super Squat, as well as pushing it pretty hard to trainees struggling to gain weight and size; So here is a write-up of my run of Super Squats earlier this year. Enjoy my torture. I just finished up 6 weeks of Super Squat, as a part of...

@malina22 GL with your training dude!

@malina22 This is my recommendation: 1) I would recommend you follow The Basic Beginner Program instead of your own. It will have you perform barbell compounds more often, and will probably increase your strength nad proficiency faster. It's a proven program, written by a professional. It also...

@malina22 So linear progression? Will you increase by a set amount?

@mela900 This is just a list of exercises. You need to at least include sets- and reps, but load-and fatigue management, progression scheme and plan for stalling should also be included, in order to give any meaningful feedback. I would recommend you DON'T program yourself. There are several...

@malina22 Define how you are going to progressively overload (there is more then one way).

@armadilloca If you want to add a lot of strength, muscle and weight in a relatively short time; Super Squat is by far the best program I have ran. Follow it AS WRITTEN. Here is my review of Super Squat . You could also run 6 months of eating and training for mass laid out, which is a series...

@neodakine Yes their is. It's called EAT MORE FOOD. You will be surprised by the anabolic effect of stuffing your face and applying effort to your training. Other than that.. No

@malina22 How do you plan to progress in weight?

@mark_m These are not my beliefs, they are the writings of professional coaches and trainers and in line with what advanced lifters recommend as well. I am just a strength trainee, following and recommending proven methods to beginners. Not sure what you being a PT has to do with this, but I am...

@jpp I will give you my general recommendations for any beginner: Start by going to FitWiki and read all of it, ALL OF IT. There are several easy digestible articles on training, diet and routines. The FAQ page will probably answer all your follow-up questions. Then pick a program from the...

@ron103 Why do you want to train five days, instead of four? Regardless, you will find proper strength programs on the wiki. Most of them are three- and four day templates, but some, like Nsuns LP, are five day programs. These programs are proven by countless trainees, and account for load- and...

@mark_m Thank you for that long reply. It does matter to some degree. - It is easier and to progressively overload sets of five. - You can handle heavier weight, faster. - You most likely have less breakdown of tecnique. - You have a solid mix of hypotrophy and strength. - It is widely used...

@mark_m Almost every single beginner barbell program utilizes five reps, either as 3x5 or 5x5, since this gives the trainee a good mix between hypertrophy- and strength training. They also allow the trainee to push heavier weight, without the fatigue associated with sets of 8-12. I would argue...

@zakalwe Start by going to FitWiki and read all of it, ALL OF IT. There are several easy digestible articles on training, diet and routines. The FAQ page will probably answer all your follow-up questions. Then pick a program from the recommended routines, preferably the beginner program . If you...

@walkingwiththeholyspirit Pick one that fits your goals and schedule from FitWiki recommended routines . I recommend you start with the Basic Beginner Program .

@marcusvef You probably need to practice posing more, or build more muscle..

@crobads I am not a trainer, but I have been lifting for a fair bit.

@crobads I'll just repeat myself, lifting will NOT stunt your growth, and there is no 16-17 ideal lifting age.. I think we are done here.
