Man of Honour
Did 6 reps of 150kg on deadlifts today which I'm chuffed with giving I'm 13 weeks out, was bloody hard though lol
Usually cut during the summer months and bulk during the winter and if I'm honest the thought of sets of 10 on a calorie deficit, given how hard I'm finding it whilst trying to maintain my weight, doesn't appeal to me in the slightestWhy not go on a cut while on 531?
What's your diet like?
You should be doing as many compound exercises as possible, they are the ones that involve more than one muscle. Squats, deadlifts, pullups etc. I'm sure someone on here can help you with a routine.
How do you define "not much progress", your body weight? The weights you're lifting? 12 weeks isn't that long in the big scheme of things.
Let me guess, legs are once a week?Its basically a 4 day split of some kind, where I am dipping, pull up alternated with chin ups, barbel curls etc 4 times a week, and hitting other things like chest and shoulders twice.
However he has been training for about 5 years and has made immense progress. He knows me so he is a good judge, its just the routine he put together is totally against common wisdom, the volume and frequency is high, and I just cant see how it would work.
Can a beginner really make progress on a 3 day split?
I'm confused.
Diet is not brilliant, but generally clean
