I'm still a noob. I'm repping 135 for 3x5 for bench, 180 3x5 squat, deadlifitng 240 for 1x5 etc, and I'm on week 5 of Reg Parks(SS w/ accessory). I don't like the volume, and besides my 6 weeks are almost up. I don't want to do it anymore during the school year. I have block schedule, and I have weight training on Mon-Wed-Fri.I have an hour on monday and wed to workout, while it's like 20 mins on Friday. What should I do? I have access to a good gym outside of school. I'm thinking maybe I should do a Push/pull/legs routine with a 3x5 rep scheme to progress quickly. Push would be on Mon, pull on tues, Legs on wed, and then rest for a day, and repeat. Or, I can drop Weight Training, take some uninteresting, harder class(I'm already taking 4 AP/honors), and workout outside of school, which pretty much wastes my time. help? (I can't do SS anymore. one of the reason I hate SS is because of the front squats. I obviously can't use as much weight as back squats, and It feels like a waste of time. Some say they are more quad dominant, but I feel much more MME connection with leg Press. I was repping 185 for 3x10 for 3x a week a few months back, and my legs were recovering fine. I need to back squat more. I did stall, but it was more of a mental block than anything else.)
In a conundrum, TBB, Need help nao Aesthetics, but with strength. I doubt one can look good while being weak anyway. Mainly aesthetics
In a conundrum, TBB, Need help nao Drop weightlifting. Focus on 4 AP Courses w/ a spare. Workout outside of school, try Lyle's. 4 days a week, ~ an hour a session.
In a conundrum, TBB, Need help nao If lifting is something you enjoy keep at it and do the push/pull/legs split. If your going for stregnth keep the lower rep ranges. And if you want to build muscle 6-10 rep range would be ideal for maximum hypertrophy.
In a conundrum, TBB, Need help nao Thanks man. Yeah, i'll just take some BS class to fill in the gap. Can't be arsed to take another advanced class. Already questioning AP US History as it is. At one point I was thinking(and still am) of Lyle's Generic Bulking Routine with a 3x5 rep scheme to get in more frequency in the gym, while still progressing like a mofo. I realized that on your 2nd leg day, you were supposed to switch in Deads for Squats. EFF THAT.
In a conundrum, TBB, Need help nao Be sure to make AP Math, Biology, Chem. Physics if going into eng.
In a conundrum, TBB, Need help nao Don't change the routine. Lyle's routine is good for hypertrophy, and it has plenty of frequency at 4 times per week/ each muscle group twice a week.
