i took about a week or so off, most of my injuries feel gone, good and fresh. starting my little self designed PHUL program. It's probably not the best program but it has the stuff I like/want to do in it and because I'll only be trying to increase weight once a week for the most part, I think I'll progress better than on 5x5. I'll have to make sure to make myself go light on the hypertrophy day because there's a good bit of volume in there I'm not used to and I have a tendency to want to lift heavy.

why'd you quit doing your PHUL smegma? I remember saying you liked it and that's what gave me the idea.

I mean probably not, but it's not worse either. It's all about what fits into your schedule and how much time you want to spend at the gym for how many days.

Yeah I feel you, I was getting way to bored with SL. I eventually want to do a "real" program, but since I still have a lot of exercises and other things like rep ranges I want to try out more, like front squats and romanians, I figure programming around that to the best of my ability would be better than doing a program I'm bored with and randomly adding poo poo in and swapping exercises around. I'm still learning to cook and get into better routines, so really it's just to keep me occupied for another month or two. If I make good progress and enjoy it, I'll keep it up. If it's kinda lovely, no big deal I'll move on to something recommended.

After 2 years of workingout you should really be doing your own thing. You know your body better then any program does.

It's the pharmacologically boosted lifters who can make better use of programs with lower frequency.

That's true and not true at the same time. I worked out for about 6-8 months a couple years ago, made decent progress and learned a bit, then quit for almost a year. I started going back again about 5 or 6 months ago, and made most of my progress back, learned a lot about my body in that time working a ton of hours and working around injuries, so while I still consider myself a noob I do feel like I'm really good at getting a feel for what works and doesn't at least. I actually spent a good amount of time thinking on this. I posted it a couple weeks ago but revised it up a bit. Right now I'm going to roll with Upper Strength Monday Bench 3x5 OHP 3x5 Pendlay Rows 3x5 Pull ups Face pull 3x10 Biceps Lower Strength Tuesday Squat 3x5 Deadlift 1x5 Cable Crunches 3x10 Upper Hypertrophy Thursday BB Bench 3x8 Dumbell Bench 3x10 OHP 3x10 Dumbell Shoulder raise 3x10 Lat pull down 3x10 Cable row 3x10 Face Pull 3x10 Biceps Lower Hypertrophy Friday Front Squat 3x8 Lunges 2x10 Romanian Deadlift 3x8 Farmers Walks Planks I feel like I can handle the volume of the hyper days as long as I don't go nuts on weight. I also feel like the pulls are fairly balanced with pushing, better than SL at least. Even if it winds up being a garbage program, I'm still excited to try something different out and has me looking forward to the gym again so in a way, it's already working. I kind of wanted to move biceps to leg days to make those a little longer and shorten the upper days a bit, but I'm not sure if the pulling exercises will hit my biceps enough that they'd be worked to frequently, so I just decided to keep it. Curls are easy to superset in with other stuff to save time anyway.

It's the pharmacologically boosted lifters who can make better use of programs with lower frequency. That's partially why I wanted to try the phul thing, to see if doing bench/ohp both twice a week would work any better than the weird rotating 1/2 times a week that SS/SL does. I was wondering if doing both in the same workout would suck, but I did the strength night tonight and my OHP wasn't as weak as I thought it would be after benching. I just made sure to take a solid 5-6 minute break between. Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Dec 6, 2016 |

At my strongest I was 154lbs and willing to cut down to 148 (I think) to beat a dumb regional bench press record.E_P posted:After 2 years of workingout you should really be doing your own thing. You know your body better then any program does. Pretty much.

That said you can always learn new things! Today I found out from the trainers at my gym if you fill up the leg press there is enough space on top to hold an olympic bar and add more weight. ABTNL always be trying new lifts..

Jesus if you're doing 16+ plates on the leg press you have officially graduated from the assisted lifts.

Stronglifts? More like wronglifts! Having said that, stronglifts is great if you only read the advice on how to do the lifts. All these programs and ~*lifting diaries*~ Feh! Just lift until you swoon and then take a knee and lift some more!
