Prednisone has caused problems with my shoulder and bicipital tendinitis and just overall physical and mental health.

I've been off prednisone for the past 4 days and I've been lifting pretty mildly the past two months or so.

Current routine is

A
Bench 5 x 10-12
Incline bench 3-4 x 10-12
Pull ups Yoloswag till I can't

B
Squats 5-6 x 5
Barbell rows 5 x 10-12
1 exercise of triceps 5 x 10-12
1 exercise of biceps 5 x 10-12

C
Front raise 5 x 10-12
Lateral raise 5 x 10-12

Since I'm taking 21 credits plus independent research, I'm only working out 3 days a week if time allows. Last week for example I had 3 tests and didn't lift at all.

I don't do deadlifts because it's too taxing on my whole body and I don't do abs because I'm terrified of doing them. I started with a hypertrophy kind of routine because I felt the lighter weight would be easier on my body at the time.

Now with that being said, I don't feel that I'm really making optimal gains with hypertrophy as I don't have a ton of volume. I'm going to start increasing volume and all that, I'm curious on what you guys think.

I'm fine with my results right now, but is hypertrophy almost a waste for doing as little as I'm doing?

Are you in a surplus?

I would still squat and bench twice a week as well.

Yeah for the first time in my life I'm at 170 lbs. I was planning to keep going till about the middle of April.

if you've only got time for working out 3 times a week and your goal is hypertrophy, I'd go full body

And Mix bench with dbells. I Found insane gainzzz with incline dbell press

up-> barbell with dbells obviously

He didn't give weights on any of the movements. Full body doing compound movements is foolish. If you max out or go for PR on squat/bench/OHP/deadlift... I guarantee that you won't be able to give it 100% to each one.

Do you want to look aesthetic or get stronger?
If it's aesthetics then why bench and what not. Bench is a stupid exercise for building muscle. It's a ton of weight that doesn't target chest as regular bodybuilding exercises.

just go out and do something in the gym.it's a meathead activity for a reason. You'll figure it out
