Looking for lifting program rec’s.

I’ve been #lifting the last couple years, mostly the basic moves, with steady progression, based on Rippetoe “Strength Training. But I’m curious about exploring a more formal program. I’m looking for something to compliment #running, but also to be more rounded athletically and retain mass as I look at breaking half a century.

I’m looking for other rec’s and experiences.
- Some people on a discord mentioned “Tactical Barbell”
- I like lifting for power and strength
- Zero interest in the typical “20 reps, low weight”
- Prefer a book
- 2-3 workouts/week, 45-115min ea
- Currently no mental capacity to roll my own

Back to work today. 2 weeks off was nice, but as always, it could have been longer. #transformerslegacy #toyphotography #artfire #targetmaster #autobot #photography #workoutpost #workout #fitness #weightlifting #weightlossjourney #strengthtraining #firetruck #diorama #crafting

Todays workout post is with #Artfire and his #targetmaster! Still under 280. The yellowing isnt as bad in photos with artfire #transformerslegacy #toyphotography #autobot #photography #workoutpost #workout #fitness #weightlifting #weightlossjourney #strengthtraining #firetruck #diorama #crafting

Understanding Muscle Imbalances

Muscle imbalances occur when one muscle or group is significantly stronger, tighter, or more developed than its opposing or synergistic group.

- Bilateral (left vs right side)
- Agonist–antagonist (e.g., quads vs hamstrings)
- Postural (tight hip flexors vs weak glutes)

Todays workout is from Slammer! Trying to stay under 280 for a week still. I want that drill press! #transformerswarforcybertronkingdom #toyphotography #slammer #autobot #workout #weightlifting #weightlossjourney #exercises #workoutpost #fitness #photography #diorama #tank #toys

A randomized controlled trial of the effect of creatine supplementation and resistance training (RT) on lean body mass (LBM), incorporating 7 days of supplementation prior to 12 weeks of RT found that LBM increased with creatine supplementation alone, but no further statistically significant gains in LBM were found during the RT phase.

Finally a return to routine. Todays workout post is with Tigerhawk and added lightpiping. #transformerslegacy #transformers #toyphotography #photography #beastwars #maximal #lightpiping #tigerhawk #diorama #miniature #weightlifting #weightlossjourney ##fitness #workout

#WorkoutOfTheDay

"Patser Uurtje" or .. I guess you could translate it to "Gym-bro hour" or something like that? :p

First build up to 1RM max bench press. Maxed out at 62kg, which is 10kg more than my previous ;)

Second was 4 sets of
* 10 dumbbell floor presses
* 10 bent over dumbbell flies
* 45" plank hold.

The floor presses were done with 2x17.5kg for the first, and then 2x20kg. Dumbbell flies with 2x6kg, and the plank was 1x without added weight, 2x with 5kg plate, and 1x with 10 kg plate.

In general, very happy with my progress :)

That was an impressive 500 pound lift.

Bulgarian Split Squats
Romanian Deadlifts
Turkish Get-Ups
Greek Yogurt

The Balkan way of gains.

Taking a break from #weightlifting to do #yoga for a week and to bulk up

A return to front squats. PRs for 10 reps. After I had a minor wrist tweak from a fall in January I avoided the front rack position as it aggravated the wrist. Now I'm back to 100%. High reps are on the menu to acclimatize my body to the front rack again.

And RDLs are approaching bodyweight. They're effective - gotta buy bigger underwear again lol.

Still feel limited by my effort in the kitchen, not the gym. I need to eat more to lift more.
