Yesterday was my last chance. Hoping I’ll see him again when this lockdown ends

Started doing two a days. So good. 😩

you gon see him when lockdown over

Went down from 230 to 195 on the Romanian deadlift, best thing I ever did.

Actually using me legs instead of my back
Also I'm not destroying my back either

Failed my overhead press 3x in a row, time to de load

I did it last year from October until March when the gyms shut down. I ran BBB and saw good results especially in terms of strength. If you have any questions hit me up

I'm just really concerned about the accessory exercises

Jim recommends 25-50 reps max per push, pull and leg/core each workout. It seems very light, how'd you go about that? I added more volume but idk if it's alright to do. I'd like to optimize it for arm and and leg growth since these are my weakest points tbh. what'd you change/tweak?

First of all one of the variations of BBB allows you to switch the 5x10 sets between days. Meaning on DL day I then proceeded to do 5x10 sets of squats, the same for upper body. I felt like that way I'd be hitting each group twice a week and had more strength to actually give my all on the 5x10 sets.
When it comes to accessory work I just did an additional pull exercise (5x10, some variation of row or pull ups) cause I wanted to prioritise my back and triceps/biceps superset (5x10, I needed to work on my arms as well). I also did some ABS work every single day but that was pretty much outside of the 5/3/1.
But pretty much if you do the main sets (5/3/1 and 5x10) correctly (right form, right weights) you'll be very gassed afterwards so definitely don't overdo the accessory work.

I hear you, so if I understood you well you by and large stuck to the recommended rep range for accessories. Except for core.

I feel like cycle 1 (at least Week 1 & Week 2) are going to be kinda light. Yesterday's bench and today's leg sesh were a breeze. (5x10 squat was a nasty b**** though ngl)

My lower back is fragile so I know if I comebine DLs & squats it's going to be an overkill for me tbh. but just in case I reconsider things for Week 2.:

Day 1: Deads 531 > Squats 5x10. > Acessories PPL.
Day 2: Bench 531 > OHP 5x10 > Accessories PPL
Day 3: Squats 531 > Deads 5x10 > Accessories PPL
Day 4: OHP 531 > Bench 5x10 > Accessories PPL

This the way to go?

Exactly, that's what worked best for me. Any yeah, main lifts up until Week 3 are pretty easy but I'd recommend going hard (maybe even 60/70% of 1RM, see what works for you) on the 5x10 sets. They're stupid hard.

im doing FSL. I was gonna do BBB too, but been trying to spend less time in the gym so the 5x5 FSL seemed faster than 5x10 BBB. I'm def thinking about switching to BBB tho, when I have more time

Yeah I'll experiment with Week 2 and f*** it I'll increase volume for my legs, I really need it the extra push.

No gym for a month (at least)

Deadlifts are brutal and so much worse than where it should be in comparison to my squat and bench

What’s your numbers

I don’t think I’ve ever maxed out tbh

Like 1 rep max
Bench would be 155
Squat 205

Never 1 rep Max deadlift but I’m gassed after doing 115 a few times x 3. I concentrate a lot on my form and think it’s good but my lower back hurts after so it’s probably not great.

Anyone switch from regular deadlifts to trap. Switched like a year ago cause injured doing regular deadlifts and too scared to go back. Not really feeling any imbalances due to hex bar so far should i be worried?

Dam you strong af

Man I gotta get on this, s*** would make my day so much better

how heavy can you go with resistance bands for back chest and legs? I have dumbbells and a bench at home that goes up to 55lbs but its not enough to get good db bench presses or back and leg stuff

Ey yo, I wanna change my gym schedule. Any recommendations? I’m trynna go for hypertrophy. I’m not a beginner.
