Good idea, I'll check there

I have a big Ikea near me

https://m2.ikea.com/us/en/p/minde-mirror-90049573/

$13 a pop. Not sure how many you need or how big of an area you want to mirror.

Check Craigslist too.

Thanks for the link! That's pretty solid honestly, might just grab a few of these.

Still have to measure the walls

4 days a week. Day 1 bench, day 2 squat, day 3 bench, day 4 DL.

Gym has def been on the back burner the past month. Been obsessed with bowling recently. If its between the two, I wanna bowl.

BUT, officially signed up for my first PL meet in August so now I am back on my ish.

Early morning Bench day today.

I did this for 12 weeks: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/4-day-power-muscle-burn-workout-split.html

Now I am doing the 6 week Shortcut to Shred. Planning to do the Ed Coan 10 week plan after. I generally need a routine to follow to stay consistent.

Those things are tiny. You’ll need about 20 to half fill a wall about head level

True, but it all depends on what square footage he's trying to cover.

Instead of coming up with all these negatives, help the man out with some solutions...lmao

Bro there’s no negatives I’m just giving the facts of the matter. Mirrors are expensive. A large 4x5 mirror is about 50 bucks. You’re better off grabbing less larger mirrors than lots of little ones

I'm still manipulating 5/3/1 templates for linear gains. Mind you, these are not officially endorsed templates. Tried a new one from 5/3/1 Forever for one week and hated it. There was no real volume, there was no intensity, and next to no accessory work, it was just being beaten over the head with supplemental volume (13 sets of 5 on the squat/bench/dead/press day).

As Lord m boiz has stated before ITT, PPL is legit. Most nattys won't do much better, assuming diet and exercise selection are on point, unless they need to lift for a specific sport. I personally find Pull days to be pretty boring and leg days are kinda meh; the Arnold Split (Chest/Back; Delts/Arms; Legs; rest or repeat) was always more enjoyable.

Any advice on how to make PPL less monotonous, Lord m boiz ?

 

[mplsdunk]

Tape aluminum foil on the wall shiny side out.

Thank me later

 

[mplsdunk]

I think I’m gonna run mad cow 5x5 since I’m gonna be doing hella barbell work.

I’ll do a week of hypertrophy bro split to give my body a break and get after it.

4 days a week. Day 1 bench, day 2 squat, day 3 bench, day 4 DL.

How you get started doing that? I wanna try...

This lifestyle is the epitome of monotonous unfortunately

The plus side of that is exercise variation, the easiest way is to just switch up exercises, other ways are: switch up angles, use different cable attachments, use a bench to lean on or support, super sets, drop sets, rep ranges, intensity, volume etc are all ways to change it up. Also switch the days up do push pull legs then pull legs push etc, have one day be strength, the next hypertrophy, throw in an arm day for ****s and giggles. I find that having a quantifiable goal is one way to keep motivation up, wether its numbers on a bar, scale or body fat percentage, if you have a specific goal to attain then it will make training more desirable if you're getting bored.

Will come up with a Push 1/2/(maybe 3), etc. and vary exercise selection and rep ranges (strength/hyper). Will also add in arm days on weeks I'm feeling froggy.

I been enjoying squatting/benching the same day.

but the downside is that im so exhausted after squats my bench takes a hit. still fun though.

 

[ASE]

For you ppl dudes, what’s your rest schedule like?

I’m asking because I can comfortably do ppl 6 days a week and I'm starting to wonder if my intensity is too low or I’m not giving myself enough time to recover.

I’m thinking about doing ppl 3-4 days of ppl and then two cardio days where I box, jump rope, battle rope etc.

I just could never get down like that, I never wanted to mix upper and lower body parts and go straight powerlifter style. Do you train your bench fresh a different day?

nope. still made bench gains though so im not complaining.

it was brutal at first but your body gets used to it.
