Recomp Workout Plan (Maybe?)

Posts: 47 Member
Lately I've been going to the gym with my brother and a friend and have been following our own homemade routine. Lately, I've been reading that people are suggesting to pick a routine that is known to work and there is proof of such claims. I've been thinking on this and though I want to recomp, I would like to build some mass as well. I'm eating at maintenance each day and have found the following workout to try. To the recomp professionals out there, would this be a decent routine to follow or would it matter enough for me to change from my routine:

I would suggest find a lifting routine that is designed by a pro and is structured, rather then trying to design one on your own ..

It's your typical 4-day Hypertrophy split. It's decent for a recomp. If you're sole purpose is to change the way your body looks then this is a good program to follow. Don't over think it.
In my opinion - a 3-day/week full-body plan is what I prefer. Here's the program I'm currently running during my bulk. It can be used as a recomp plan. It's just meat & potatoes of wanting to look good.

No worries mate. I do plan on doing the Romanian deadlift with that workout if I choose to do it.It's your typical 4-day Hypertrophy split. It's decent for a recomp. If you're sole purpose is to change the way your body looks then this is a good program to follow. Don't over think it.

I'll look into that also, thank you for the input!0 -
OP - I run this program and like it...https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/4-day-power-muscle-burn-workout-split.html
That duck face though......lmao!!! Barbell curls with 10lb rubber plates looks so badass too.....lulz.......
Nick - if the OP simply wants to look good and isn't worried about building strength then they don't need a 5 rep scheme. A basic hypertrophy based plan with progressive overload will get them stronger over time too.....0 -

I've asked you what you have to help the OP, you keep saying that he isn't a beginner lifter....... I'm quite certain that doesn't help the OP, unless he suffers from memory loss........
He was asking for a lifting plan that would help him while doing a recomp.-2 -
So where is banter back and forth between you and I, gifs, and memes playing a role in helping OP either?
Are you saying it doesn't help the OP by clarifying to other users what the OP has already mentioned? Less confusion = better suggestions, no?0 -

He's already been given multiple lifting programs that directly and/or indirectly will help his specific goal. Your post was not needed. Just my opinion......
