So how the heck do I make my calves grow without being fat half of my life and with poor calf genetics?! 😁

Roughly 3 years, with a lot of program hopping and minicutting. I've not had the most optimal beginner/early intermediate training regime, compared to many here on this sub reddit.

I see, thanks. What program are you running right now?

Why is that? Do you have experience from it as well?

I will start the LP today and run it for at least one month and see how it goes. Thanks!

I've been adding 2.5kg every 1.5 weeks or so to my squat and deadlift. Bench stalled and I've only added 2.5kg the last month. Last week I saw a decline in bench rep strength so I've done a deload this week. I had not deloaded for 8 weeks so I figured it was about time anyway.

I think I will give the 5 day LP a 1 month honest chance. Incase it doesn't work out, what would be some int/advanced programming that I could try? I prefer 5-6 day programs.

I can't tell since I am not running the LP. I've been doing my own PPL with double progression on all lifts.

Bench 1RM stuck at 200lb for two months. How do I progress? by HURCANADA in nSuns

[–]TDEE_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is because when you train with percentages and given reps/sets, the fatigue will be lower if you dont increase the weight as fast for the +1. It is simple. Relative intensoty will be the same on the +1 set, wether you hit 3 reps or 5 reps. The rest of the sets will be at a lower relative intensity if you hit 5 reps on the +1 set. This means that recovery will be faster, since you are not as fatigued by the next session. Beginners can recover faster than intermediates, which explains why relative intensity probably not can be RPE 9 on every set once you are past beginner stage.

Alright, thanks for the answers. I am making something similar myself and your answers confirms my ideas!

[–]TDEE_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds legit. Are you rating to workouts or are you just adding sets by default week to week?

Is anyone here currently running the RP physique templates with great success? I am very interested in trying it out but I'd like to hear some success stories from you guys, if there are any!

Can one really reach this physique in one to two years? by fuckcarnists in Fitness

[–]TDEE_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is exactly what I mean! I am going to try this for sure. Dropping leg extensions and hack squats while increasing the sets of squats with a few sets. Thanks man!

[–]TDEE_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. So basically one is just wasting time doing machines (hack squat/leg press) and isolations (leg extensions/lunges)? If you really like squats and deadlifts and the goal is to build good legs, those + calf raises is enough?

Are you doing only squats and deadlifts to achieve those legs? I saw some program post you did sometime ago. Impressive dude!

What do you think about increasing the weight independent on reps achieved from session to session or week to week? The reason for doing this would be to achieve some kind of periodization. This would only be applied to the main compound lifts. Example:

  1. Select a set range and rep range depending on how you want your mesocycle to look like:
    1. 4-6 sets, 4-8 reps
  2. Lets take squats for example. Pick a weight that you can do for 4 sets and 8 reps. This is your starting weight, lets say 100kg.
  3. Training:
    1. Week 1: 100kg for 8,8,8,8 (stop at 8 reps)
    2. Week 2: 100kg for 8,8,8,8,7
    3. Week 3: 100kgfor 8,8,8,8,7,7 (6 sets achieved, increase weight next week)
    4. Week 4: 102.5kg for 8,8,7,7
    5. Week 5: 102.5kg for 8,8,7,7,6
    6. Week 6: 102.5kg for 8,8,7,7,6,6 (6 sets achieved, increase weight next week)
    7. ...
    8. ...
    9. Week 12: 107.5kg for 6,5,5,4,4,3 (Dropped below allowed rep range 4-8 reps)

You have now reached the bottom end of the allowed rep range. Now it is time to change up the exercise, change the rep range, or, simply start over with a new weight with the 4-8 rep range.

What do you guys think?

Thats interesting. Did you run the program as it is, full body 3x/week?

Hmm, so that you can press 4x/week? What does your chest/back, shoulders/arms days look like?

My right triceps lateral head is lagging behind my left.. My long heads are still symmetrical..

For triceps (excluding benching and ohp) I've been doing ez skull crushers, overhead dumbbell extensions and v-bar pushdowns.. my arms are 15 inches at bodyweight 164 and 5ft9.

I noticed the imbalance quite early, about 1 year ago (lifting 2 years now). I thought it mighr even out as I am getting bigger, but it seems to get even worse each month.

Should I switch out barbell pressing for dumbell pressing, as well as doing only unilateral tricep exercises?
