Just wondering, cause it seems low volume but I am hitting my muscles 1-2x.
Example currently:
Push 1: Monday
- Flatbench DB Press 5x5-6 (Chest)
- Incline Barbell Press 3x8-12 (Upper Che&Shoulder
- Dips (Chest Tri Shoulder) 3x to 2-3 RIR
- Skull Crushers 4x12-15
Push 2: Thursday
- Flatbench DB Press 4x8-12
- Shoulder Press Barbell (standing) 4x8-12
- Triceps Overhead Extensions 1x6, 1x8, 1x10
- Cable Lateral Raises 5x15
I am basically doing 9 Sets Chest just with DB Benchpress. Do incline presses count and do the shoulder presses count too?
I cant do more im exhausted by the end of my workout and each takes already 1 hour.
For legs I do: wednesday 1
- RDLs
- Bilgarien Splitsquats
- Leg Curls
- Smithmachine Calf raises
Saturday 2:
- Squat Barbell
- Leg Extensions
- Leg Curls
- Calf Raises
Dunno… or should I Stick to same exercises for each PPL day?
I wonder if its bad doing incline bench and standing shoulder press only once for example… but dont they kind of target same muscles?
Am I still considered beginner after 6 months? Iam 32 and started lifting in December 2024
It varies from person to person and how you have been training, but generally it’s around two years I believe. But in training terms it means that you can recover faster and pack on a lot more muscle than someone who is more advanced. In my first year I gained about 20lbs, second year 10lbs and third year 5lbs. I would consider myself moving into intermediate level now
