Yeah not very good at all. Read starting strength and practical programming
Even if you go with another routine, theyre a great source for principles of lifting.
Why are you doing so much isolation work? I assume you’re a beginner like me, why not just stick to the compounds? you don’t need much workload to invoke gains at our level, therefore if you’re doing the basic compounds you don’t need anything else. i just do some forearm curls and bicep curls thats it, and the bicep curls are probably unnecessary.
From what ive read and seen you should be squatting 2-3 times a week, benching 2 times a week about, and pressing the same. aba bab
thanks for all replys,
the routine from Dan John looks interesting, but my question is it not too much volume?
i have found another interesting routine
this one looks similar
could somebody explain the differences?
and what about training in total reps and not in sets? like in the Dan John template for the Pull up exercise for all exercises instead of 3 sets
for example the goal ist 20 reps in total and choosing a weight that you can lift 8 times
doing 8 reps … 15 sec rest … doing 5 reps… 15 sec rest … 4 reps… 15 sec… 3 reps
Nope not too much volume, especially as intensity is rotated in a very clever way. All Dan John’s stuff is proven and rock solid. Dont overthink things just follow a template as written.
Total reps/autoregulation is a valid concept but not something need to consider unless a strong intermediate.
If doing pullups like that, rest 30 secs not 15 or will impact the body like rest pause , which is whole different ball game
