Our routine is to walk past the gym equipment on the way to the pool. Swim a fair bit get in the hot tub, swim a fair bit more. Go home have two cups of coffee and a cake. 
I admire the dedication of regular gym goers |

Similar to me . I walk to the entrance of a gym most days. But that's because there's a pub two shops down . |

30 sets for shoulders is too much , you are also duplicating too .
for a natural lifter I'd recommend your 30 split over 3 sessions
you should know by now shag, that a muscle needs only enough stimulus to grow , beyond that it will not grow more and the excess "junk"sets just increase recovery time x
for me tonight it's shoulders , upper chest and glutes x |

i did legs at 6.30am thats all i can do right now, as i think ive torn my distal tendon that attaches to my forearm, not completely though but went for an MRI yesterday,which was a very uncomfortable experience and dont get me started on the NHS! lets just say its been shocking! anyway waiting to hear back from the docs.
word of advice for all fellow lifters though..stay well clear of preacher curls! i was doing light weight, something i can do over 15 reps and i fully extended and something just ripped then got a lot of pain. any deadlifters out there to i'd advise against mixed grip. |

The under hand can be an issue with possible bicep tears/detachment. Vids of it all over the Internet.
I do under/over, my max 280kg was under over, double over hand max is 200kg. Not allowed straps in powerlifting so it's under over or hook grip which I can't get on with. |

Tears normally have more to do with poor mobility work in my expirience.. the hook grip was only invented for human suffering... 280 btw YES!!! |

That's definitely a factor and poor technique.
Hook grip is awful, the pain is something else  |

i doubt poor mobility is the cause of tendon tears in the bicep tendon while deadlifting. its in a vulnerable position for the hand thats underhand. its why so many have switched to hook grip in recent yrs. although i agree its not something thats easy to get used to! i had no idea it was a risk doing preacher curls though, but ive since read its a very vulnerable position to and have watched a few vids on youtube where its happened since |

I've been back in gym for 7 weeks after nasty back and shoulder injury. Beginning to get strength and stamina back. Not been going as heavy as I used to and been doing more reps.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Shoulders and arms night tonight.

I never go to the gym as too expensive for the local ones to me plus I find the gym boring as hell! Unless full of fit men but then I just look a bright red sweaty mess!!!
I do hill sprints for cardio and up to 50 mins running.
Free weights and resistance bands to work on upper and lower body at home to sculpt plus 15 min HIIT sessions either weights or yoga shred.
Doing weights has made the biggest difference to my shape by far xx |

Here is another motivational video from jay cutler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iJWN9eZHBo&t=40s
And here is my training program, it is a 13 week cycle.
Week 1 Active rest week from the gym
Week 2-3 Circuit training, high volume, low intensity.
Mon and thur Lower body
Tuesday and friday Upper body
Week 4-7 Back to bodybuilding, the conventional routine, determine a weight with which you can perform one more rep with.
Mon Legs Tue Chest, biceps Thur Back Fri shoulders, triceps
Week 8 to 9 Heavier weights
Take a break from bodybuilding and return to heavier weights, going back to the strength power approach, the key is is low rep sets of five reps wich would equate to 85% of your irm.
Mon Legs Wed Chest, shoulders, triceps Fri Back, biceps
Week 10 to 13 Fun with fundamentals
In this segment, it is designed to get the blood pumping, each week add 5% to the lifts
Mon legs Tue , biceps, triceps, thur chest, shoulders Fri Back
Thats it and I do 1hr of cardio every day, either going out for a walk, or doing it on the bike. I like week 1, cos you get a break lol |

"This thread still going? I could do with advice from those who are more experienced in basic weight lifting than me."
Start off mastering the “Big 4”
Bench Press
Deadlift
Shoulder Press
Squat.
Start low weight, master technique and that will make you get bigger and stronger.
And eat, eat to grow. |

Yeah, going to be getting the PT at my local council gym t show me how to safely deadlift.
I'm yet to do a barbell bench press but I've been working my way up to 5x sets of 10 on dumbell bench and shoulder presses, and chest flys.
Yeah, I think my squat form is good, looking at increasing resistance now, but I'm unsure how to approach it, I feel like my arms are too short or that they wont reach correctly to use a bar to squat safely with, someone suggested implementing a kettle bell to start upping the resistance with my squats but will that be time effective? |

"Had a decent back workout today.
Here's a question... should you do traps on back day or shoulders day?"
If your deadlifing heavy enough and doing shoulder and back work they don't really need much more. Traps are one of the easiest muscle groups to grow. |

Oooooh debate..
it depends which part of the traps you’re training. The upper traps are already involved in most of your shoulder exercises so it would make sense to train them straight after shoulders because they’re already warm.
Lower traps are much more dominant in your back day
Just my 2 pence  |

"Makes sense... upper traps get done on when you work your shoulders, for that defined ridge, lower traps on back day for that visible V shape in the middle of your back - good stuff!"
Not bad for a girl huh |

Personally I do a full body 3 times per week, with a mix of oscillating method, contrast sets, complex sets and olly lift variations. Hell, for the most part I don't even do as many as 5 rep sets. Most my heavy stuff will follow a 2,2,1,1 format at around 90% - 95% of 1rm as a tonic exercise with the aim of enhancing the PAP method for the subsequent contrast/complex set where I might do 3-4 x 5r with the emphasis on explosive power.
I agree with the poster above though, your routine is overkill. But hey, each to their own. As long as you enjoy what you do.

I am going soon. I tried the full body workout for few weeks, but I prefer the split training with the pump you get with high reps. I will do shoulders and triceps, it is week 4 |

"I haven't been to gym all Ramadan. It's too hard to train and not eat "
Don't blame you. I didn't manage to grab a late afternoon snack this afternoon, so the early evening session was "fun" 
To be honest I don't know how you manage all day with no drinks either. I keep forgetting and offering drinks at work

"I haven't been to gym all Ramadan. It's too hard to train and not eat "
I regularly train fasted I recommend becoming fat adapted , i.e. eat less carbs
Tonight I trained over an hour and finished with intervals on the rower had not eaten since last night at 10
Almost all humans can operate without food for over 36 hours without much suffering , our bodies evolved to use fat as it's primary fuel source and most of us have fuel in abundance
Sadly modern diet is vastly refined carb focused and thus our bodies adapt to this as it's fuel , sadly this fuel has pit falls , it runs out quick , and it makes the body and brain suffer when it does
Reducing carbs (not eliminating them )will remind the body to burn fat as it's fuel and vastly more importantly , it won't release as much ghrelin (the hunger hormone )
Also oddly , exercise I find reduces hunger , again this due to an interesting interplay of hormones
Please don't get me wrong
I'm not saying the Ramadan fast is not challenging !
I'm suggesting that it challenge can be overcome with a little understanding of the human body and food choice
For example if you eat rice or bread on a fast you WILL suffer ,
nuts seeds meat fish eggs pulses and raw oils and lots of water can mean 20 hours between food can be very rewarding and as I said exercise can compound the positive effects of the good nutrition |

What he means is some people have pictures who some claim are Photoshoped , which can distort how a person looks maybe change angles or change proportions x others use testosterone to help the image
Both are unnatural , one is known to give a large penis and T a smaller one

Serious bro, you will get jacked
Seriously though it is anabolic using a few pathways , it gives huge time under tension of well over a minute coupled with metabolic overload (pump) and the last reps can be done slow negative or just held for cellular breakdown , ligament strength , hormonal responses

I like this thread, for the most part it’s supportive and not at all ‘dickish’ or weight-based (‘how much can you bench?’)
The fact is you’re doing it and any exercise is better than no exercise
That said, this morning I totally smashed my 1rm of a deadlift! Totally lifted the whole house, I could’ve done two reps but I didn’t want to wake the neighbours.... |

220kg is a bloody good squat for most people.
There's some insane weights being lifted now by relatively small guys. Few of the guys I train with are 300kg + squatters at under 105kg bodying weight.
