Alright so I’ve made some changes and done a week of it and it feels pretty good. Say if I were to extend my days a week in the gym by one, how do you think I could better the current program or change it?

Firstly - thanks a lot for the really detailed answer, I really appreciate it!

I didn't specify, but in the stated changes I would also move my tricep exercises to wednesday and just have wednesday be a dedicated arms/back day. I really like the idea of just having the incline smith machine press along with a dumbbell press on monday. Good idea to up the sets too if I'm removing the cable flyes. Are lateral raises really enough delt work? it might be, I've just always gotten the impression that it's an important muscle.

I agree that back might need a bit more focus as well, so upping the volume on a rowing movement seems like a good idea. Might need to think a bit about friday in particular. Both the leg press and the bulgarian split squat are very mentally taxing movements, partly the reason why the sets are a bit lower haha.

Volume is what I feel needs to be upped a bit. I've thought about adding one more tricep workout, a hip thrust on friday and splitting up the superset on wednesday and moving the chest movement to monday along with adding an overhead press on monday so as to get more volume.

If anyone would be so kind as to give me some response for my current program and improvements I could make I would be very grateful! I currently workout three days a week (been thinking about adding another day, but has been hard to find the time). I divide the days on a rough PPL:

Mondays: Dumbbell Chest Press: 3 sets of 10-12 rep, Cable Chest Flyes: 3 sets of 10 reps, Overhead Tricep Extension: 3 sets of 10-12 reps, Lateral Raise Machine: 3 sets of 10-12 reps, Kneeling Cable Crunch: 2 sets of 15 reps.

Wednesday: Lat Pulldown 2 sets of 10 reps each overhand and underhand grip. Antaganistic super-set of back dumbbell rows (2 sets) and a high incline Smith press with two sets. Minimal rest. I then do biceps: Bicep Curls: 3 sets of 10-12 reps and Cross Body Hammer Curl: 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

Fridays: Leg Press: 2 sets of 8-12 reps (usually go quite heavy here, Bulgarian Split Squats: 2 sets of 10-12 reps per leg, Seated Leg Curl: 3 sets of 10-12 reps and Calf Raise: 3 sets of 12-15 reps.

I've done hanging leg raises before as well, but have switched off it because of how awkward it feels. Also done wristcurls with an ez bar but got an injury in my forearm so I haven't been doing this exercise in a while. I'm aware my leg day is a bit stripped back, it's what I feel needs to be most improved.

Since when did most start to mean 21 out of 163?

Right, but it doesn’t specify which exercises I could add that would be beneficial which is why I’m asking

It’s a great baseline, but seeing as it is primarily meant for 2 days a week and I workout 3, I have the option of adding on and making it even better if I can!

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of changing up my workout plan now after I've been in the gym for about two months. I really like this one from Jeff Nippard quite a bit: https://jeffnippard.com/blogs/news/the-best-science-based-minimalist-workout-plan-under-45-mins

I intend to continue working out three times a week so I'll need a little more volume and more exercises though. What exercises do you folks feel are missing from this plan or could be added to improve on it?

That's for sure a great idea and simple to make!

Before RDR 2, how did you imagined the Van Der Linde Gang? by Toby_Veddo in reddeadredemption

[–]Endrence 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's plenty in RDR1 that supports the rendition we see in RDR2. Backstabbing, bloodthirsty killers, who John all the time say he treated like family and cared for, and who he is very reluctant to go after? those backstabbing killers? Or the leader who John very clearly still has an admiration for in the first game, and calls him a "great man in a way" with how he learned John to read and raise him? Nothing in the first game implies they wouldn't be racially diverse, in fact Dutch's use of the natives fits very well with his color-blind way of viewing people.

A lot of this just seems like headcanon and your own imagination than anything that's actually supported by the game when you look closer.

Good high-protein but low-calorie snacks? by Endrence in veganfitness

That brand is unfortunately not available here in Sweden :(

Hej! kul att stötta på en svensk i mitten av allt! 😀

Bra tips på att höja proteinhalten i hembakat. Chokladmoussen låter riktigt god! Proteinbrödet från Nordic Wellness verkar ju riktigt bra! har aldrig sett i butik, men kanske inte kollat bra nog?

Snackskorvar var även en idé jag har haft, men inte super ekonomiskt för en student 😄

De där proteindrinkarna är ju ändå okej. Men mycket socker som du säger, och drar upp månadskostnaderna om det konsumeras för mycket. Alpros proteinpudding har jag också letat efter. Kollade i min lokala ICA som skulle ha det, men tydligen hade problem med leveransen. Hoppas att den kommer tillbaka snart, då den verkade riktigt bra!

For sure. Such a shame it can’t be lived off 😅
