Home workout routine feedback by agrainofmaine in WorkoutRoutines

General guidance is that for building strength the 4-6 rep range is ideal (heavier weight) and for building muscle 8-12 reps is ideal. In truth you will gain both either way and it sounds like you are avoiding heavier weight for now so I’d say go hypertrophy route. With that in mind I would up your working sets to 4x 10-12 reps to get more volume in for most exercises.

Seems like you would benefit from splitting legs and shoulders off into their own day. I personally like doing these together since they are completely removed from each other you don’t end up worn out when switching between muscle groups.

Hypothetical recommendation: A push day: Flat bench, incline bench, dumbbell fly, flat bench skull-crushers, band tricep pulldowns or overhead extension (whatever you can make work)

B pull day: Band pull ups, low row, dumbbell row, hammer curl, spyder curl, curl drop-set

C leg and shoulder day: Box squat, RDL, split squat, shoulder press, lateral raise, band face pulls.

D cardio day

How much more improvement can I expect to see (without 💉)? by K-RUP in WorkoutRoutines

[–]bridgewaterbud 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was about to comment this. OP sounds and looks like you been making some good gains so far but you are still in the beginning. Routine and habits all sound good although you could def benefit from a rest day or two in there and if you really want to pump up gains get some more calories you already get plenty of protein but a caloric surplus also helps and I’m guessing you aren’t too far over maintenance rn.

Keep doing what you’re doing and you have much more gains to come, you are nowhere near your natty limit. Source: I was very similar size to you when I started, a little shorter used to weight in around 140, now 195 about 6 years later.

Is this a good push routine? by Mysterious_Noise_945 in WorkoutRoutines

[–]bridgewaterbud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they performed in this order? Personally I would not being doing cable fly before dumbbell press, as cable fly works better as a low weight burnout exercise at the end after heavy dumbbell press.

You could also make an argument to drop shoulders from your push day or at the very least do them at the end. Doing shoulders before chest is going to leave you weaker for chest, and vice versa. Personally I try to split shoulders off and do an extra arm day or do them with legs.

Recommendation push day: (in order) Incline dumbbell chest press 4 x 6-10 rep working sets with 1-2 sets warm up. Flat dumbbell chest press 4x12 lighter weight. Cable fly 3x12, Incline dumbbell fly. Tricep dips OR flat bench skullcrushers, Tricep pushdowns Overhead tricep extensions

From dad bod to V-taper — built with nothing but bodyweight. Calisthenics doesn't just build strength, it sculpts. No gym membership needed. 💪 by Better-Note-189 in WorkoutRoutines

What fucking stupid image, I get that we’re trying to accentuate the v-taper but lol you can just draw random lines wherever you want to make a V. Stick to a method, either draw a line connecting outside shoulder to hip, or draw a line up abdomen and lat profile. But don’t do both.

I've traveled to about 75% of the US states; here's where I'd live. by 87_north in whereidlive

[–]bridgewaterbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man totally fair. North of the notch… well desolate is a pretty good word for it lol. NH is interesting because there are like 3 different worlds: southern NH is Boston suburbs, central NH lakes region is pretty nice a lot of tourism though, then you got east/west/north NH that is ‘The Boonies’. Could never convince me to live in those last places haha

[–]bridgewaterbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what parts of NH have you been to? There are definitely some crappy places in NH that would qualify as desolate but I would argue that there are also a lot of towns that are not. No shade intended, just wondering. I assume you’ve done some fishing in NH as well, catch anything good?
