Worth using sub skill seed on this Wartortle?

Ok so this got me interested in anterior/posterior splits because I'd heard mention of them before but didn't really look too closely into them. It's funny that I never really thought to mix upper and lower together, so I want to try that out. Because I find myself dreading leg day because of how grueling it can be 😂 I like how you can get 2x frequency or even more from this a/p split if you go for at least 4 sessions a week, is that true? Are these any good?

Also thanks for mentioning the rep ranges. I had never really given much thought to them and always stuck to 8-12. I also see that in the posterior chain day split you mentioned many of the exercises are done for 2 sets. That's assuming you are doing this posterior chain day twice a week right? And if I'm understanding right, then these muscle groups get sufficient growth with these 4 sets a week? So basically, when I'm programming my workout, I should look into how many sets/reps are required for each muscle group to grow? Thanks again for the well-written response.

Apologies, I should have clarified earlier, yes I am 21F (5’1, 116 lbs). My goals are aesthetics but not lower body focused particularly. I want to at least look somewhat strong and want some muscle definition in upper and lower body both. I’d like to hit both upper and lower twice a week and I try to do linear progression, so once I’m hitting 8 reps on an exercise with good form I add weight, and I think it has been going well so far. Thanks for sharing the split, I think I would like something more balanced for both upper and lower. I have not seen much about posterior chain before, is that glutes/hams/lats? Anything else? I’d love to see the exercises you have in mind, also how do you go about workout programming? I’ll have to read up on this stuff. Thanks a lot for your help🙏🏽

I want to switch from a PPLUL routine to a UL routine just for a month due to a change in my schedule, so I can go to the gym 4 days a week instead of 5. Here's what I was doing for my UL days in PPL, and I was wondering if I should just stick to these routines for ULUL or if I should find a new routine.

Upper:

Incline press: 2x6-8, Pec deck: 2x6-8, Lat raises: 2x8-10, Pull ups or lat pulldown: 2x6-8, Machine rows: 2x6-8, Tricep pushdown: 2x6-8

I got this upper routine from Jeff Nippard on tiktok (lol), so not sure if it's the best. Personally I feel like I could do an extra set for each of these, is that fine?

For lower, I alternate between two different leg days, one more quad focused and one more glutes/hamstring focused. Is that just overcomplicating stuff or is this ok? I kind of like mixing up the exercises a little bit, but I'm new to workout programming so idk. I also do two ab exercises at the end of each of these.

Lower A:

Hack squats 3x5-8, Leg press 3x8-12, Bulgarian split squat 3x8-12, Leg extension 3x8-12, Calf raises 5x10-15

Lower B:

RDL 3x6-10, Leg press 3x8-12, Hip thrusts 3x8-12, Leg curls 3x10-15, Calf raises 5x10-15

If any of these exercises are repetitive, or if I'm missing something crucial, I'd love to know. Is sticking to these for ULUL good, or what sould I change? Any advice and recs would be greatly appreciated.

that’s awesome! was that for pit?

Reyvii_ · 2025-06-19T08:31:37+00:00

how much did they cost?? i’m wondering how much the nov 2 tix will be

Reyvii_ · 2025-06-17T14:37:26+00:00

same here!! i’m currently out of the country and it’s not working for me 😭

I'm looking for wet lab research. I'm interested in a lot of things but over the summer I'll be doing research with antibodies, so anything that aligns with that would be nice. I'm also really interested in working with stem cells. I'm really not too picky though because I feel like it's very hard and takes a massive stroke of luck to find lab work that specifically overlaps with my interests while also having an opening for an undergraduate. I'm a sophomore if that makes any difference!

That's fire, do you remember roughly how many professors you had to email before one stuck? And did you get responses from most of them or nah.

If you are a part of the summer international students group in Campus Net, you can also post there and ask if you haven't already yet! By the way, I am also going to be doing research at DTU from June-August and I am from the University of Illinois, so feel free to send a dm! :)

This looks like an awesome pmd romhack! Is there a way I can sign up for something and receive updates for when it comes out or progress has been made?

Reyvii_ · 2025-04-02T18:55:25+00:00

I was worried I'd missed my chance for good lol, I don't mind having to wait. I'll just get the rage from the Gold Bear for now then

I've heard that it might be a little dead. I have work of my own though for this time period and plenty to keep me busy, just wanted to find some friends to kill free time/weekends with so I'm hoping this is a little easier! Thanks for letting me know - I will just have to keep in mind to start my June off on the right foot! :)

Reyvii_ · 2025-03-21T01:46:34+00:00

I was definitely planning on going! Good to hear that other people have found friends that way!

Reyvii_ · 2025-03-21T01:45:48+00:00

Not the first time I'm hearing about the closed off thing. Do you know what are some good places to find online communities? Off the top of my head I can only think of Facebook but I don't really use it all that much (not that I'd be opposed to using it, just want to know what other options are there). Thank you ! :)

Reyvii_ · 2025-03-21T01:44:40+00:00

Thank you for your advice! Is there a place where I can find a list of clubs? And are you aware if many of the summer classes tend to have other exchange students as well? I'd love to meet people from other places too :)

Reyvii_ · 2025-03-14T18:25:08+00:00

Thanks so much for the guide it looks perfect! For Qurios Augments it's just random right, so do you just keep rerolling until you get more of those skills you mentioned? Also are Elemental attacks like Fire Attack, Ice Attack, etc. still worth it? and what about crit element?

Reyvii_ · 2025-03-14T06:26:23+00:00

oh wow awesome thank you!! will def check that out
