I listen to alt right politics podcast while lifting. Strengthening the body & mind at the same time. 👌🏻

@Sonic >not listening to fashwave

Ohhhh.... C'mon now haha I do enjoy some Xurious (just not when I'm lifting)

What's yalls core routine for big bulky abbs

I've started doing dragon flags recently and they're giving me that "going heavy" feeling for abs that nothing else does @Mark Vandal

@Mark Vandal leg raises and ab wheel

I used to love doing breathing weighted planks at the end of my squat/deadlift day

But I hear ab wheel is the way to go

@Farmer D hey rachel I’m up in Redding if you ever want to meet up... there’s a few of us up here in the north state ... @Deleted User

Can some of you guys critique my workout plan? I've been lifting to bodybuild and get strong but want to see if I'm being excessive in certain areas, (especially on my chest and bis day). What would you add to certain days and what would you subtract? I do three sets of 8-12 reps on most exercises. Thanks in advance!

lower your rep range

this is crazy

justf scrap the entire thing

if you want to body build to strong lifts 5X5

everything is wrong

Each screenshot corresponds to a weekday

yea this isnt a good program

top many exercises

too*

to many reps

Which ones are worth keeping and which ones should I scrap?

juat do a whole new program

either starting strength or strong liftrs

strong lifts*

you said you wanna body build, do strong lifts

Got it

https://stronglifts.com/5x5/

Looks good, I have a strong chest and arms but I've been doing dumbbells for a few months and can't maintain this pace...

make adjustmesnts as needed , but try it out cookie cutter at first

but if your in begginer/ novice lifting faze this is the generel guidline your chould follow

focus on shirter rep range heavy basic compund movments with a system of liner progression

if you wanna add excesorie movments feel free but generely worry about squating more , benching more, ohping more, deDLIFTING MORE

if you get you core lifts up your gonna get bigger

Agree with shyguy, barbel excercises 3xweek with _consistentcy_ and slow increases will get you results. All you make your body strong and good looking is 3-4 excercises and that is it.

Daily reminder to stress the importance of form and focus on your dead lifts - I was rushing through a lift and herniated a disc, wasn't even going too crazy with the weight. Now I can't lift at all for a while. The mental aspect is just as important as the physical, so don't compromise on either or injuries are bound to happen.

That's rough. Hopefully you have a speedy recovery. @Steve - NJ

@Steve - NJ take it easy brother

Also don't use fabric/Velcro weight belts. Use the sturdy leather ones. Better support there.

It's probably a no-brainer for most of you guys but I wasn't aware of that til it was too late
