sorry for double post, this means on non workout days take 100g grams of carbs still, but at 1600 calories correct?

3 sets of 8-12 sounds more like gradual strength training with a bit of hypertrophy.

I wouldn't advise doing any one single plan for a full year. You need to switch it up every 4-6 months at most.

I would advise something like 5x5 or 3x5 for 4-6 months, followed by true hypertrophy for another 4-6 months, then a cut if necessary.


Do you think my numbers are okay for a person at my age? I've been working out casually for the last year

Bench is 155
Squat is 175
Deadlift is 185

139.4 pounds 5.9 15 years old

Should I still do strength?
Or could I just go straight into hypertrophy bulk

I want to ask you about a simple 5x5 routine. heres what it looks like

Monday
Squat
Bench
Row
Weighted Sit ups

Wednesday
Squat
OHP
Pullups

Deadlifts OR Full clean ( Power clean with a squat)

Friday
Same as monday, but with some bicep and triceps

My question is, I know how to do both a deadlift and a full clean with proper form. My question is which should I do? I LOVE full cleans but feel like doing both on wednesday is a bad idea and mixing them with monday and friday is asking for trouble.

how essential are deadlifts?Would I be missing out on anything by skimping on deadlifts?

I was thinking of taking them out for the full cleans, the only thing stopping me is when i full clean I drop the weights at the end of the rep, and thats a no go for a typical gym with non rubber weights.

Correct, you can still take 100g of carbs.

So far so good, CONTINUE strength training until your numbers are 2x of your bodyweight across the board (minimum).

See, thats the problem with 5x5 on a 3 day schedule. I dont' like pure strength routines on only a 3 day timeclock, because you are shortchanging yourself with problems such as these.

Here are some suggestions.


1. Work out TWICE a day for 2 of the 3 days, and you could train each body part individually, except arms and legs which count as one workout.

2. Work out 5x per week and get maximum benefits

3. Make Friday a separate day with deadlifts, bis, tris, abs.
