Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

I definitely have to shift around low carb days in my meal plan....... had a low carb day yesterday, went to the gym today to do 2nd leg sesh of the week, nikka was gassed even before i stepped into the spot...........couldn't even finish the full sesh.... got the big lifts in tho... . front squats, stiff leg deads. Did leg extensions and cause I was feeling guilty of not doing at least 4 exercises, did the tibialis machine....... .proper carbs the day before legs every time from here on out... .

If you were gymming right you wouldn't have or need "low carb" days.

It's true.... I may have to swap them out cause I'm always low after them.. ..

• A Squat ===> a Press ===> a Deadlift variation
• Squat + RDL (or oppo stance deadlift) day and then a Front Squat + Deadlift day
• Separate days with no more than 2 rest/other days in between
• A Squat + Rack/Block/Deficit Pull day ===> A Deadlift + Hack Squat day

Have to ask yourself what is your goal in doing deadlifts and how does your programming support that.

Lyle’s plan calls for two leg days with squats as the main compound movement, but he did say you can swap in DLs for a squat.

It might be better to squat 2x as the plan calls for it then do DLs on another day.

I like DLs because it’s a great exercise and easily my favourite because it’s really a whole body movement.

Meh. You're not a skrenf athlete, you're not in a surplus, and you're not really chasing numbers.

If I was you I'd keep it as conservative as possible, do squats and RDLs and call it a day.

You'll be switching programs eventually so I'd pick something with DLs specifically programmed in at that point, but I don't really think the risk/reward benefit is there for you to be honest.


Not my training/life/body/medical bills, so as always, do what the fukk you wanna do.

Gotcha, so do the squat 2x a week with the SLDLs instead of 1 squat and 1 DL. Makes sense. And you’re right, I’m keeping things straight forward and simple since I’m cutting. Only thing is I tried to get the big 3 compound movements into my program, but yea, eventually I’ll change plans and get something with DLs programmed in it specifically.

Also, SLDL or RDL? Which should I go for? Right now I’m doing SLDLs.

I need to tighten up on this yoga and core work. Everything else on point

SLDLs and RDLs are in the same boat. Do whatever feels more comfortable, you're not missing any gains by choosing one over the other.


And as a soccer player who likes to bike from one city to another, the Big 3 ain't really doing shyt for you.

Restructured PHUL program done.... simple and basic. 80% of TM for the power days. Puts me in the 5-7 rep range, based off the template and my past lifts. That will put me at 4 quality working sets per exercise instead of those first 2 working sets really feeling like junk sets when I was doing "my concoction" of 5/3/1. Up the percentage to 85% for the third week and bring it down to 82% for the fourth week, then repeat the block with hopefully improved TM for the next block.

Let's see how many weeks I last without a full deload week........ ..... word to @Gully Bull

Cool, so we're still hotdogging shyt when we don't know how to program or autoregulate.
