    I started my new volume routine today. Gym got too crowded to keep recording after the third lift.

    Yes ma’am I enjoyed this one. It’s essentially the same lifts with a different set and rep scheme. My meal plan also changed slightly. I’m implementing a couple days per week of carb cycling.

    I started my new volume routine today. Gym got too crowded to keep recording after the third lift.

    Hey, I was wondering if you have ever tried your bench press or incline press with he smith bar? I find that the burn is insane. I also feel it very little in my shoulders and triceps.

    I do. I prefer my incline presses in the smith for the reasons you mention here. There’s a gif of that in this thread somewhere. I normally focus on upper chest development over all.

    From encouragement from my diet coach, for the last 4 months I’ve been following a full body workout 3 days per week with abs and cardio on my non lifting days. There’s more compound free weight lifts for the purpose of incorporating stabilizing and secondary muscles. I have committed to follow this program through this volume cycle but I plan to start a P/P/L/rest/P/P/L/rest in early June.

    Li'l bit of back work...

    How are the pull-ups coming ?

    71gd3l6x5st8.gif

    How are the pull-ups coming ?

    Doesn't feel like I'm making a lot of progress. I think I was too random in my attempts to progress, so I switched to a pullups app that does 5 sets with one min rest in between and adds reps daily if it's easy... I'll see if that helps. When I get to being able to do 5 banded in a row for a few sets, I'll decrease the assistance.

    I think I'm getting stronger, but still feel like I have a long way to go. Sigh.

    It's silly how this makes me feel so feeble. 🙄

    This is going to sound dumb but the most progress I ever saw with pull-ups was one year in college when a roommate bought a cheap doorframe one and had it up perpetually on his bedroom door. Most of the time I'd walk past his room back I'd do a couple and quickly realized I was getting way better at them (this was regrettably before I was lifting with any sort of direction or regularity). I say all this to lend some credence to the thought of doing some reps daily to try and improve.

    I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here. It’s the general concept of any 5x5 routine.

    Thank you both!

    I used to have a doorframe thing up for chinups, it's just so low that I don't like it much. That said... I just put it back to work on the negatives.

    I will get this!

    I used to do something like this as well. I'd start with a set of amrap, and then just a few every time I passed the room. I kept tally marks on the calendar to keep count. Saturday was pull-up day. I think I had one day with around 60 pullups.

    I don't think it's a complaint as much as a weird fascination with how the muscles jump around. Lol

    I just got a massive mirror given to me so I saw it for the first time and was a bit (happily) startled.

    I read that wrong. I read that as “freaking shoulder muscles”. I think the shoulders look strong.
