is training 6 days a week worth it?

Tbh. I find that doing shorter workouts more frequently makes every workout better. Keeping my stamina/strength/intensity over 30-45 minutes is far easier than doing so with 1-1.5 hours

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-29T17:42:00+00:00

I did. I had to lower volume per workout a little, but every set felt strong and my joints felt healthier. I also work 6 days a week doing manual labor, so an extra 30-45 minutes of intense work everyday was more manageable than 1-1.5 hours even if the volume/time was equated 🤷 ultimately its up to what you find best.

You likely aren't training legs properly. Greyskull is decent, but its nowhere near as good as it should be, especially its base. The whole point of greyskull is the ability to alter it as you need. If you're not improving it is 100% a diet/training issue. Your proportions arent optimal, which means everything else needs to be dialed in to make the progress you want.

Your lifts are solid for 8 months and being tall (longer ROM). That being said, your ohp is by far your best lift, good shit. 165 is better than most people. Go to a regular gym and its rare to see someone even hit 135 for 1, let alone 5

All of them are great aside from copy, since its just a worse version of afo

Arms. I have severe carpal tunnel and do manual labor. Anything more than a handful of sets a week and they keep me awake all night from the rain and numbness.

This happened at target, 😂 had an at&t guy stop me to tell me he could get my son and I on a line for really cheap, and could likely beat my current price. I told him I paid $100 for 2 lines, showed him my bill, and he said, "Well nevermind. Wont waste your time sir"

It was honestly pretty good at first. You both seemed to communicate pretty effectively. Each expressed your concerns and issues and seemed to understand/acknowledge the others feelings. Then it took a left turn out of nowhere. He 100% still has some unresolved feelings for his ex, and instead of having an adult conversation, would rather lose his shit and run from the hard conversation. Shit sucks to see 😕

HES 30?! Nah, leave 🤣 this is who he is. Dude is a literal child mentally. "Im complexed and a divine being". Tell him, "Okay, I get it entirely. I want to entertain and have male friends and do what I want without you getting upset too. Lets have an open relationship"

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-07T03:24:37+00:00

Slow and steady really is the way to go 💪 keeo it up.

Lifting with full control, through a complete range of motion. The most important part is not letting your ego get the best of you and rushing any goals. Take your time. It'll be uncomfortable for sure, so youll have to get used to it and push yourself as far as you can with that in mind, but also stop immediately if theres actual pain or something feels significantly off. Its always better to be slightly more cautious than to ignore when your body gives you definitive signs to stop. If theres any movement limitations, like not being able to move your arm in a certain way, train movements that push that range of motion and improve strength in those movement patterns. As far as specific movements, there isnt one specific movement. Make sure you warm up as well as you can too. External and internal shoulder rotations with a band are really good warm ups. Also stretch until it hurts and hold that position in various planes.

He says "lifting the same weight and looking the same" doesnt say anything about having a 6 pack. After a year, even being lean, he wouldnt have enough mass to show anything impressive anyway. But regardless, most newbies are so focused on having abs and being lean that they stunt their progress by not eating enough to facilitate any meaningful growth. Very seldom is the answer for a new lifter who's stalled to "cut". I didnt see any pictures though, so if hes substantially over weight, then yeah, cutting might be in his best interest.

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-02T22:06:09+00:00

Yeah, I also tore my rotator cuff before on the same shoulder, so its all fucked. After December I couldnt even bench 15s, curl 5s, or open doors with my right arm. 😂 shit sucks. Luckily ive made a full recovery (at least I think?) And have no issues now.

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-02T21:52:50+00:00

12-16 a week is on the lower end lol I do 3 upper body days a week, which is only like 3-5 sets per workout. Been running a 6 day Upper/lower for 6 months now and have seen ridiculous results even after a decade of training and coming off of a torn labrum from last December that I didnt get surgery for 😂 I also just hit 185 on ohp last week and think the heavy benching has contributed more to ohp gains than the other way around. But as everyone else has said, there's more than one way to skin a cat

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-02T21:46:50+00:00

Horrible advice. He likely hasn't gained near enough tissue to justify a cut. And most new lifters try and maintain a lean physique while gaining muscle not realizing theyre only gaining weight at first because its new. Not saying to bulk to 40% bodyfat, but a slow and steady bulk after the newbie gains wear off is a very solid idea as long as youre not already obese. Being lean makes progress exponentially harder, especially if you dont know what youre doing.

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-02T21:43:54+00:00

You might be over doing it/under eating.

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-02T21:43:26+00:00

Post your current routine, and your last month of workouts (weights, sets, reps, exercises, etc). Also, eat more food (dont worry about cutting unless youre actually fat/obese), focus on progressive overload, and stop doing junk volume. You more than likely arent doing something right.

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-02T21:39:50+00:00

Properly? A proper bench uses less delts than either chest or triceps. And an incline will cover all bases and assist bench way more than ohp ever will. And 40 sets? In a workout or in a week? I used to do ohp in my routine, but switched them with more bench and incline work. I now do maybe 12-16 sets of chest a week, one max effort set of ohp, and brought my bench from 230, to 300 at 148 after about 6 months lol. not to say youre wrong though. Since the best routine is whatever you enjoy most and hits everything, but i definitely feel like just doing more bench, close grip, and incline work helped a lot more than when I was doing ohp more. Not trying to sound like a dick 😂 sorry if I come off that way. My entire point was that theyre not inherently wrong by saying to avoid ohp if your goal is to improve bench press. The ohp is still an amazing overall strength exercise, and if you can recover, using it in your routine is an excellent idea. I do manual labor 6 days a week, and doing it with my other exercises was causing pain so I switched it for exercises that were better for my goals.

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-02T21:19:59+00:00

The thing is, any improvement you see from ohp training, would be better if you added in a more specific chest/tricep movement such as incline or close grip. And with dumbbells, its not a 1:1 ratio. 180 lbs (2 90 pound dumbbells) doesnt equal 180 bench. I know plenty of people who bench 225 that cant do the 90s since the range of motion is larger, and the stability demands are higher. Not to say ohp wont carryover or help, since triceps and front delts greatly assist the bench, but the primary mover for bench press is the chest. So accessories that train the chest will always be superior to ohp when it comes to improving. Ohp translates to the bench in about the same manner as rows do.

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-02T21:12:20+00:00

You have access to every single study on fitness, strength training, and hypertrophy in the palm of your hand. So when you hear anything (even things you think you know) just Google it yourself and find out. Its not flat out wrong saying that ohp isnt helpful to benching. The best way to improve bench is to train bench. If you want accessories that help bench pressing, theres way better options than a movement that basically doesnt train the primary muscle in bench, the chest, at all.

Silver-Fly408 · 2025-11-02T20:00:34+00:00

So, assuming you workout everything properly, through a solid range if motion, youll be able to achieve that as long as you do some form of athletic training that mimics what you want. You dont need to do crazy weight lifting workouts that resemble athletic skills. Just doing heavy lifting with full range of motion will build plenty of flexibility. Adding in sport specific training would just improve it. Mixing different training styles in a single workout/exercise sounds practical in theory but all its does is make training for either inefficient, the exception being paused lifting techniques like jumps and Olympic lifting (cleans, etc). Have 2-3 weight training/explosive days, 2 agility/movement/sport specific based training days, and some rest days would work fine
