Hey
I am in the gym since 10 months but I felt like I wasn't going anywhere.
The gym routine I am now doing since 4 weeks is basically a Push Pull Legs but I only do PPLPP Rest Rest. At the end of my push workout on monday I do Squats with light weight and at the end of my pull day I add RDLs with light weight.
"+" behind Sets always means the last set is an AMRAP Set.
Monday Push A:
- 5x5+ Incline Barbell Bench Press
- 3x8(-12) Standing Barbell Shoulder Press
- 3x8(-12) EZ Bar Skullcrushers
- 3x10+ Machine Chest Flies
- 3x10+ Pushdowns
- 3x10+ Cable Lateral Raises
- 3x10 Barbell Squats
Tuesday Pull A:
- 5x5+ Weighted Pull Ups (currently 5 kg added)
- 3x8(-12) T Bar Rows Chest supported

- 3x10+ Rope Hammer Curls
- 2x15+ Cable Face Pulls

- 5x3+ Deadlifts
- 3x8(-12) Leg Press

Thats basically all I do... is this too much after 10 months consistant training without a program?
I am natural, I try to eat a lot but hardly make it to 2700 kcal a day. My protein requirement is always met...
My thought behind this is that I can only have 1 leg day, since my legs are sore anyways for 4-5 days and can get another extra rest day saturday instead of another workout day.
So basically I am still hitting Squats "light" on monday and heavy on Wednesday and RDLs light on Friday. I took Deadlifts instead of RDLs for Wednseday though.
I tried upper lower but the issue is:
I am sore after a leg day for atleast 3-5 days.
The next thing I don't like about Upper is that I have to do 8-10 exercises that day and by exercise 6 I have a feeling I can't put 100% into the exercises.
I tried this order for upper day once:
You didn't answer their question. What do you mean when you say "I felt like I wasn't going anywhere"?
