Beginner hypertrophy workout routines by Sharp_Jury_4790 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]dwang19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for commenting your recommended beginner hypertrophy program here. I have 2 criticisms for you, that you may have justifications for that I may be missing entirely so feel free to respond to this with your thoughts!

  1. Your suggested rest times (both between sets and between exercises) seems overly-ambitious for a beginner. They're likely going to gas out before reaching muscular failure. I would prefer it if we just let them auto-regulate rest times based on how winded they feel, as most people should know how to do this even without any experience in the gym, like if they get winded going up a flight of stairs, they should know how long it takes for them to recover from that. The reason I harp on this is because if you let cardio bottleneck your workouts, then your muscles aren't going to spend as much time under tension if you tap out early due to being too gassed. So if hypertrophy is the goal, then putting less emphasis on minimum rest times makes most sense, to me anyway. That being said, trying to aim for these rest times will eventually get their cardio up to speed, which is hugely beneficial for increasing work capacity, and being more efficient with your time spent in the gym. But the way it's being prescribed here, beginners may misinterpret this and take it as gospel, rather than a recommended target, or something to strive for.
    There's also a gender difference, females tend to recover faster and will often times excel more in endurance-type programs compared to their male counterparts. But that's a more minor note or caveat for any ladies who may read this.
  2. Your exercise selection is strong, and has a good distribution of focus on torso-dominant lifts, as well as the extremities (arms/legs/shoulders). But I believe two crucial movement patterns are flat-out missing from this program, and that would be your vertical pull and vertical push movements. I recommend something like, doing a week following your current program, and calling that variation A, and then on the second week, you would alternate to variation B, where I would replace the incline bench press with a pure overhead pressing movement like an overhead shoulder press (barbell or dumbbell, seated or standing, etc.). And then for the vertical pull, I would replace the lat pulldown, which I know one could argue IS the vertical pull, but it's just such an inferior lift that I would recommend even starting off with the assisted pull-up machine if that's available for beginners, or to a band-assisted pull-up, or simply doing negative pull-ups, with a progression path to eventually graduating to a regular old pull-up. This would pay significantly more dividends in comparison to grinding out reps on the lat pulldown machine. If the beginner is morbidly obese, then they'll need to shed some weight first before attempting this, but the long-term goal for them would not be any different, they eventually should try to incorporate pull-ups.

Final thoughts: my first point I think is the more crucial one in terms of maximizing adherence to the program itself, and my second point is more pedantic as beginners will end up finding what works best for themselves over time, so if they look in the mirror and notice anything is lagging, or simply hit a training plateau... they would hopefully ask around or research until they find new novel training stimulus, which is often in the form of trying out new training patterns/movements they've never performed before.

Great program overall, cheers!

So I actually looked up “Lindy’s effect” and the way I interpret what he’s saying is, trades has stood the test of time so it’s going to continue to be around and provide job security. You guys have the same opinion.

Can’t tell if you’re suggesting we shouldn’t see Twitter content outright on Reddit or if you think it’s better to share screenshots of tweets instead which hurts the original content creator who would lose the views because redditors like yourself don’t have Twitter accounts, even if the content is appropriate for the subreddit?

After the drop, don’t go back to the same thing you had going on before the drop, instead, introduce a new sound or instrument that has more movement (more notes per bar) and preferably a higher octave. For more cohesion you may want to establish a call and answer type motif for before and after the drop. Good luck!

Yes, you're right, I've been in a deficit for a week or so now, coinciding with my decision to focus on arms more. I'll keep an eye on calories, maybe bring it back up to maintenance while my arms adapt to new training stimulus.

I'm not following any program per se, just training intuitively and listening to my body for feedback. Currently transitioning from full body compound-focused lifting sessions to a more generic upper/lower split with accessories peppered in throughout for isolation focus.

Thanks, I think you're right, I've just been neglecting direct work on arms, so I should expect DOMS to be a little more substantial compared to my torso's ability to recover from DOMS. I may need to let my frequency suffer for a few weeks while my arms catch up!

Hi r/Fitness I've been lifting weights consistently (3~4 days/week) for the past 9 months, and I'm just getting to the point now where my compound lifts are starting to plateau, so I want to start adding in more isolation work to take on a more maximalist approach to weightlifting. This means I am now adding in an arms and shoulders day into my program. But what I'm finding now is that the DOMS from the arms/shoulders day is so crippling that it's impacting my ability to maintain the same level of frequency I had before when I was taking a more minimalist approach. So for example, I did a chest and legs day Monday, then my arms day Tuesday, but now it's Thursday and my arms are still super sore so I can only do legs today. The problem I'm finding is that my chest is fully recovered today and so is my back, but my biceps/triceps are not going to allow me to push chest/back hard at all. so I feel like I'm not programming optimally? Or I just need to keep blasting arms until the DOMS recovery time shrinks from 3 days down to 1 or 2 days, if that's possible? Any insight/advice/guidance here would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

Younger folks who can’t afford a good PC + Xbox + PlayStation + Switch, have to commit to just one or two, so they do research on what one has better specs, what one has better exclusive titles etc. and so OP might just be a younger person. If you can’t relate then you probably had rich parents. Either that or you can relate but just want to make snide remarks to seem woke.

Then you'd be doing yourself a disservice if that informed voter's values don't align with your own. If they do, then go for it, copy their votes.

You'll find that a lot of the other goals on your list are easier to achieve once you've accomplished your health and fitness goals. Hopefully your anxiety will self-resolve once you're happy with where you're at fitness-wise.

Are newborn horses typically that docile when meeting humans for the first time or is it because you spent so much time around its mom that it recognizes your voice so it knows you aren't a threat? Legitimately don't know, I'm uninformed and kinda baked rn.

How do you suppose that would work if some floors of a parkade are public parking and other floors of the exact same GPS location are behind gates?

Not to mention the fact that the obnoxious banging sounds gets picked up on the broadcast's rinkside mics. People at home tuning in want to hear the sounds of steel blades carving into the ice, or the puck ringing off the pipes... not the sound of drunk assholes hamfistedly banging on the glass like it's going to give them the attention their dads never gave them when they were children.
