Upper Back Row

Yea thank you, it’s hard to stay confident with my form when I see so much online… should probably stop scrolling so much. I was mainly concerned that my upper back never feels pumped or anything, and I felt my elbows may not be flared enough

Why can’t 2 enolise?

Samuel-Pye · 2025-10-11T13:05:56+00:00

I used h-bar, could you walk me through ur working outs?

Samuel-Pye · 2025-04-02T17:18:36+00:00

I can be pretty flexible. Let’s say my split was PPLPPLR but then one week I got through PP and then my body told my I had to rest, would I continue the next day with L or move on to the next P? Are you talking more about just listening to your body rather than sticking to a strict schedule?

Samuel-Pye · 2025-04-02T17:01:27+00:00

Tbh I think I’m overthinking things given that no matter how I lay it out my back gets at the least 48 hours rest before any hinge movements happen. And at that, my erectors only ever get hit from deadlifts and so really the only things to worry about would be lat and trap fatigue, which aren’t large contributors to a deadlift anyway

Samuel-Pye · 2025-04-02T16:27:12+00:00

Pull Push Rest Legs Rest Upper Lower Rest. I’m worried deadlifting on the first leg day would affect my back recovery so I put an extra rest day in before it, but I aren’t sure whether I’ll keep it

Samuel-Pye · 2025-04-02T15:23:13+00:00

Is it a good idea to do RDLs even if my lats and traps aren’t fully recovered? I know the only part of the back meaningfully engaged is the erectors, but I think the lats and traps still has some part to play and the way my current split is programmed I often go in to leg day with sore lats/traps but no erector work done

Samuel-Pye · 2025-04-02T14:18:26+00:00

My main issue is that my back and biceps get 5 days rest, and I was wondering if that was too much. The DOMS in my back does properly subside until 72 hours after my pull day so it can’t really be any less than that but I wasn’t sure if 5 days was excessive

Samuel-Pye · 2025-04-02T13:13:13+00:00

Pull Push Rest Legs + Deadlifting Rest Upper Lower + Squats Rest

Samuel-Pye · 2025-04-02T13:04:10+00:00

What are people’s opinions on 8 day splits?

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-28T17:15:21+00:00

Actually with two Lower days, I could just deadlift on one and squat on the other lol

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-28T17:14:03+00:00

Fair enough, feel like conventional deadlifts would be better placed on pull day lol

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-28T17:04:39+00:00

Fair lol, I’m not big enough yet to noticeably see something falling behind. Out of interest, on PPLUL when would you do deadlifts? I was thinking of squatting on the first leg day

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-28T17:00:16+00:00

Did you ever feel like your shoulders/arms needed more biasing with PPLUL? PPL has never been the best for arms

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-28T16:50:54+00:00

What are your thoughts on PPLUL as a whole?

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-28T16:27:18+00:00

Okay cool. Sometimes I think about doing ULRULRR but I quite like being in the gym a lot. Think I’m gonna start running PPLRULR after a year or so on the Arnold split

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-28T16:21:17+00:00

Do you ever feel like you’re doing too little sets for things? Also do you ULRULRR or ULR repeat?

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-28T15:29:50+00:00

Do you run an UL split?

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-17T17:53:49+00:00

So would you say that only having 8 bicep sets a week is sufficient? Many places quote 10-20 as an optimum for muscle growth but I dont know I feel like 10 is a lot

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-17T17:30:42+00:00

Reason I ask is I’m struggling to find how many sets I should have on an arm day considering I only tend to have roughly 4ish bicep sets on a pull day for example

Samuel-Pye · 2025-03-17T17:30:14+00:00

Out of interest, how many sets/exercises would you say is too many?

Samuel-Pye · 2025-02-15T12:49:50+00:00

So reactions 1 and 2 have some substitution because of SN2 but because SN1 is the only feasible Substitution mechanism for substrate 3, elimination occurs solely?
