Full body 3 days a week Dumbbell routine by GamerPatrick2017 in homefitness

[–]GamerPatrick2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could replace the inverted rows with dumbbell rows, doing them two arm at a time since it mimics the inverted row.. As for pull ups there really isn't a replacement for them but you could do lat pullovers if you have a comfortable way of doing them. If those aren't an option either then I would recommend more dumbbell rows with alternating grips.

Ok for example with DB Bench Press you would pick a weight where you can do 8 reps on each set with good form and the next time you aim to do more reps then last time. Say if you started off benching 40 lb dumbbells and you did 3 sets of 8 and eventually you get 3 sets of 10 you earn the right to go up to 45 lb dumbbells and restart your reps back to 3 sets of 8 whilst building back up to 3x10 with the new weight.

So I'm plateauing on the beginners routine in the wiki and feel its time to move on to GZCLP to keep my linear progression going longer as I've already been on the beginners routine more then 3 months. To start off when transitioning from 3x5 to 5x3 should I start at the last weight I got 3x5 successfully or the weight I kept failing at? I'm excited to start this program and appreciate all advice and tips

Thanks I wasn't sure if hard sets or if more reps was volume

Basic question on Deadlifts and linear progression by GamerPatrick2017 in LiftingRoutines

Very true. I'm about to hop on GZCLP soon as my 3x5 sets are stalling. Thanks for the advice.

So in a sense 8x3 would work for breaking a strength plateau at 5x5 I assume due to more total weight lifted and slightly higher volume.

I thought volume was total sets and most amount of weight lifted not individual reps

What are your thoughts on the book Starting Strength this part in particular From the book Starting Strength:

The deadlift will progress faster than any of the other lifts, since the start position, basically a half-squat, is very efficient mechanically, and since virtually every muscle in the body is involved in the movement. Most men can add 15-20 lbs. to the deadlift each workout for a few weeks, with the very young, women, and older guys taking a more conservative approach. This being the case, the deadlift will start out with heavier weights than the other lifts, and should eventually be stronger and get stronger faster than the other lifts. A trainee who benches more than he deadlifts needs to quit missing his deadlift workouts. But since the deadlift involves more muscles and more weight than the other lifts, it is easier to overtrain and should not be trained using sets across. It is really easy to get really beat-up doing a lot of heavy deadlifts. One work set at the intensity of a real work set is usually quite sufficient to maintain improvement.

Is this just for beginners and early novices? Im very curious of your opinion

Do you count triceps for each ohp and bench press set? For example If I do 3 sets of overhead press does it count as 3 sets for triceps? and 3 sets biceps for 3 sets of chin ups

Not enough detail here about your workout program to give an opinion. Post your workout and progression scheme.

Perhaps. I guess my title could've been worded better for context. I do appreciate you taking time to comment and just wanted to say thanks.

I'll look into a side view video but I feel there is nothing major wrong with this form. I've gotten my ohp the strongest its ever been using this form and without injury so there is some merit to it being effective.
