    Yup this is the all time worst. If I have both head phones in, leave me alone.

    I'm doing high frequency training right now. Monday, tuesday an friday I squat or do a variation (pause, front, pin squat), wednesday thursday and friday I deadlift or do a variation (Paused deadlift, stiff leg, deficit). I also bench every day (incline, regular, blench block, close grip and legs up bench). So I do lower and upperbody daily. I'm finishing up my 3rd week of this program and max out in another 3, hoping to hit 550 on squat, 335 on bench for a pause and 550 on deadlift.

    I always go immediately after work during the week so my current routine is:
    Monday - Arms
    Tuesday - Legs
    Wednesday - Chest
    Thursday - Beach / rest
    Friday - Back & Shoulders
    It's a modified version of one I grabbed off BB.com but looking to set my own up once I figure out how to properly do that.

    Generally start off all days with 10-20 minutes of cardio and about 30 minutes of heavy bag or mit work (if my man happens to be there that day and not working with other people) after cardio or after my workout.

    Alright so I never hit the weight room. I normally just run outside or hit the treadmill at the gym on my off days (3-4) times a week. Say I want to start a workout routine. I'm a beginner, give me some workout tips, starter routines, maybe some great android workout apps. I'll take any helpful information.

    I travel a lot and I don't have time to hit the gym, can you guys suggest a good home workout routine? I also struggle with what to eat as I travel so much, suggestions on that would also be useful. Thank you.

    Been on a tear recently. Hitting 4 plates on deadlifts, 3 plates on squats, and benching 2 plates. I'm not even a power lifter either, but eating a lot (healthy obviously) & just hitting the gym consistently is getting me there. So far I'm really shredded & putting on more mass, at 176 right now 6'0 tall.


    I make workout plans for others sometimes, I've sold 4.....if anyone interested message me. Serious inquires only.

    Some very bad programming in here no offense(though @Sac's looks pretty good) You guys need to hit me up for online coaching. I'll give you my S80 family discount. Whether it's competitors or regular people wanting to lose some weight and gain muscle ths is what I do for a living and I am the best at it. Take advantage of it and PM me for individualized nutrition and workout programs.

    this is exactly my situation. i exercise regularly at my local gym, because i feel its important. but i don't use the machines---all i do is cardio.

    a long time ago i tried weightlifting because i wanted to PUMP, PUMP PUMP IT UP my chest up but i didn't have anyone to help guide me--so i got discouraged and just stuck with cardio.

    if i had someone who's experienced at lifting to help guide me---i know i could do it--just need a little help. and i don't want to pay a trainer----cost too much

    I started a powerlifting team at my University in September and I am now making programs for 30 people lol. Everyone's strength is shooting up though, everyone has put over a hundred pounds on their total in 4 weeks. One of my guys is almost as strong as me on some lifts:emoji_slight_frown: We are both 20, weigh 183 and his squat went from 365 with iffy depth to 475 great depth. His bench went from 275 touch and go to a easy paused rep at 325, his deadlift went from 455 to 530 in 8 weeks. Most other members are going up just as fast but he will probably take over the team once I graduate this fall so I'm teaching him all my philosophies.

    Do you guys find having music on makes cardio less of a psychological torture?
