Good strength brother! Are you pushing strength on all your compound lifts?
Trying to mostly. Been rebuilding my bench press after analyzing it after a plateau and realizing my form was not as good as it should be. Im back up to 225# and can 1RM 265#'s. Squat and Deadlift I'm more comfortable with than my Bench and OHP but my focus is changing to improving these while maintaining or slowly improving the others.
Training is 5 days a week (in a short summary)-
Day 1 and 3
Back Squat or Front Squat
Overhead Press variation
Pullups/Lat work
Day 2 and 4
Deadlift/Rackpull/Trapbar DL (1 of these in rotation)
Row (Cable, Seated, Machine, T-Bar, Dumbbell, Bent over, Pendlay etc.) (2 of these per session)
Bench Press (Bench, floor, incline)
Day 5
Work on what I feel needs more attention/work This is the day I'll attempt max's unless something is feeling really good during the week. I try to only allow myself one max attempt per lift per month somedays more than others.
I make sure to get Core work in everyday and do accessory lifts on days 1-5 but if time is short the Compounds are the ones I'm sure to hit. Cardio is not a favorite so I only get that in every other or try and do something AMRAP for time

Ooosh great to see another gal doing strongwoman on here. Best wishes for comp. Are you a powerlifter?
Yes! Relatively new powerlifter, In the past I was focused on bodybuilding, but then my show got canceled last May, due to Covid and I switched into PWL, two meets in and I’m hooked.
This is however my first attempt at a Strongman event.... the meet is an Autism event and I’m competing in my sons name. I was able to put together, a team of 6 and a nutrition company is sponsoring us (Team Alex 😭) I’m excited, but my current numbers are close to the requirements just not quite there yet. I’m scared I won’t qualify, imagine putting this whole team together and then having to tell them all sorry I didn’t make it 😫 I apologize for the long winded answer 🤣
I think this is awesome. I love the idea of laying it all out there and betting on the one sure thing, yourself. On top of that, your cause makes it even better. You have a fan 😁1 -

All this looks awesome. If I may.... if your bench and OHP continue to stall you may want to try eliminating direct shoulder work day 1 and 3. Add it to your chest day of 2 and 4. That will allow your shoulders a little more recovery between those heavy lift days. Just my 2 cents but what you have looks great.
I hit the gym 6 days/week but have split my heavy lifting days into 3 days/week and I do core and cardio on the between days. It was an adjustment because I love lifting. I was actually hoping I wouldn’t see the results I’m seeing from it because I wanted to go back to my push/pull/legs/push/pull/legs/rest.3 -
This is my current routine. The abs and cardio work is done on the days between.5 -

I'll definitely think about changing some of that around. I appreciate the feedback, because sometimes it's hard to see the forest through the trees. This is the first time I've programmed for myself without consulting either my old PT , little brother who is also a trainer or at least was, or early on purchasing /internet program. It is always a work in progress.
Do you mind if I ask what you're doing for your Cardio work?1 -

Amen brother!!! After years I finally starting going to body building nutritionist and it has made a huge difference from bf% to health markers on my blood work.
All I do for cardio is 20 min on the elliptical bike. **There are also a couple days a month that I have training that includes running, wall climbing, rope climbing and assortment of other things.1 -

Honestly man this schedule here has me in the gym less than before. I’m typically in and out in 1.5 hours. Maybe two on a slow day. The abs and cardio days you’re only looking at 45 mins tops.
This is what I was doing before this:

What he said!
Thank you ☺️ I feel like I put a lot of pressure on myself, but that seems to be what I love anyway, so now I gotta see this through 😬💪🏻 Plus that look on my boys face, on meet day, will make it all worth it 😭😍🤗4 -

This is what I was doing before this:
The neatness of this satisfies my OCD 🤣. I also had a very detailed plan similar to this that hit every muscle group multiple times and my coach cut it down significantly. I was able to shave off time, but by not doing certain accessories that I used to do I sometimes get all in my head that I’m not doing all I can be for that muscle group. It’s like FOMO for the lifts I could be doing 😂. Does this happen to you?2 -

Ha, I can be a tad OCD with it too. I’ll work these out and once I get the final draft I’ll snap a pic and throw the paper away. Yes, I do and I do still like to make sure I’m hitting all the secondary muscles. So I’ll toss them in around the heavy lifts. The heavy compound movements fatigue me differently. It’s a more total body exhaustion as opposed to destroying a specific muscle group. For me though incline presses at a 45degree angle, rear delt work and hitting my chicken legs are a must!1 -

The one that stands out is our arching your back into a curve when you bench press. It hurts your spine.
I actually thought this was a joke at first because I didn't see any poor form...My back was arched on my bench press as well and I got positive comments on it🤣3 -
Im my own biggest critic. More legs used in this row than I’d have liked and I should have worn my belt but 295 felt good. Backed down the next set to be a bit more strict.4 -

You ARE your own worst critic. You have your vids myou see your form. You know where you want to improve. I'm here to say...
Well done, badass!1 -
Not a gif, cuz boxing GIFs suck. So I'm breaking my rules and throwing in a vid.

Awesome session boxing, with abs that followed. This video was taken at the end, so I was moving slower and already pretty tired. But still... Amazing cardio and strength workout all in one.7
