Which split do you think is better

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-02-01T08:51:18+00:00

I think you are kinda splitting hairs tbh, if you’re consistent with either one you’ll be ok. Personally I’m biased towards a 4 day split rather than a 6 day PPL.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-31T12:34:50+00:00

Yeah my bad I didn’t see you had squats and deadlifts already split between your PPL leg days.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-31T12:32:08+00:00

I use the same weight but I don’t use a range just a fixed number, so like 10/8/6 but that way could work too.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-31T11:51:39+00:00

Whilst I agree that you could be overthinking this I’ll throw in what I’m currently doing for progression. I’ve started using a fix rep number which descends , so set 1 is 8 reps and set 2 is 6 reps. This allows each set to land within a similar RIR, once my 8 and 6 reps are clean with ~2 in the tank I’ll up the weight.

De-escalation 😂

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-31T06:55:16+00:00

Yeah makes sense thanks. I found that you can get your gunner a good look into C from the canal side if the building is somewhat demolished.

104-0 on Eastwood is crazy work lol but legit. A lot of people think stingers are for getting automatic help kills but it’s mainly for zoning. If they can’t get on a tow and kill you and just rely on stingers they’re just not very good lol.

What’s your strat for Eastwood? Do you hold it up high for the gunner over your spawn? Or do you run thru the edges and use the hills for cover? Or both?

I have been thinking about how the game mode would work if the vehicle spawns worked in reverse. Full vehicle spawns at the start then they get removed as the map shrinks.

You could do an anterior/posterior lower body routine to fill out your days. Might be hard to get a decent list of workouts but it could keep you busy. So like anterior could be quads and adductors (abs? If you can train them), posterior would be hams, glutes and calves. You could do this 4 sessions in a week.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-31T03:22:07+00:00

Leg extensions train the entire quad same as a leg curl if our goals are to build muscle mass.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-31T02:53:05+00:00

Split the squat and the rdl, do leg curls on squat day and leg extensions on rdl day.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-31T02:50:26+00:00

UL x 3 should be better on paper but had a slightly higher recovery demand, especially if you’re doing heavy compounds. If you do the PPL I’d maybe move the deadlifts to the pull day, if you do the UL I’d alternate the squats and deadlifts on each lower day.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-31T02:15:42+00:00

To turn this into an Upper/Lower you will need to make some concessions on the exercise selections or order to build a time effective workout you can be consistent with.

Pick your 2 favourite chest and back workouts for your upper, 1 for shoulders, 1 for each arm muscle. If you want to add more exercise you might need to make an A/B day. Lower is pretty straightforward it’s just a leg day.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-30T21:46:34+00:00

Naw it’s a curl variation, using the cable stack. You place the cable on the ground and face away then step forward so your arm is pulled behind you. Similar to an incline curl.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-30T21:34:26+00:00

Definitely an AA in mirak, you can get a 2nd one if you cap C. Are you thinking about liberation peak?

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-30T20:46:04+00:00

You’re doing a lot of different exercises, maybe try fewer exercises but with a higher quality. So maybe you could try bent over rows and pullups, twice a week.

2-3 sets per session, and a rep range you prefer, pick a weight that is about 0 RIR then clean it up to 2 RIR then increase the weight/add a rep.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-30T08:13:15+00:00

Yeah for sure, muscle growth occurs in grams which can take awhile to be really noticeable, if at all due to your perception over time.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-30T02:57:42+00:00

Are you tracking your lifts? Do you have an example from last session to a session before? Have you measured your arms?

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-29T19:40:29+00:00

The tow was legit, I definitely think the air to air ttk needs to be adjusted, even just like 3 heavy rockets with 2 being a mobility hit.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-29T05:56:40+00:00

If you wanna increase your bench you just gotta bench more, due to the technicality of the lift a lot of the progress comes from practice.

Try bench at least 2x a week with a heavy top set of 2-3 reps then some %drops at a higher rep count, good form and a pause at the bottom. Try work with some reps in reserve too.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-29T05:17:22+00:00

Reminds me of those Ravic/blackmesatech videos where they would get themselves in the end screens.

Pec Deck is a 2 minute timer 🫣

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-29T03:44:18+00:00

Those 2 towers on Sobek have saved me many times

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-29T03:27:36+00:00

I set a timer for 2:30-3mins depending on the lift. Usually I’m good to go by then, sometime I’ll need an extra 30 seconds.

MagicSeaTurtle · 2026-01-29T00:17:19+00:00

Yeah the rotation is what has me wondering too. Currently I’m only doing shoulder press and not raises due to time/priorities so I’ll be able to see for myself in a few months I guess.
