I'm primarily looking to raise my energy levels so I don't feel like a fucking zombie every day. Any advice? Mostly looking for a plan that I can follow. How much free time do you have? Can you spare some money in getting in shape? | ||

Start a strength training program. Don't eat anything that you couldn't basically tell me where everything came from without looking at the ingredients label. Sleep for 8 hours a day. Do stuff that you enjoy and try to have a positive outlook whenever you do stuff. You will find that you have more energy and have the drive and motivation to do way more stuff. | ||

I always hear this said about working out but I have never felt that way, is this something you guys actually experience or is it just one of those things that everyone says? edit: fixed formatting | ||

Yes, it's actually something that I do feel. When I'm out of school and doing stuff that I enjoy and working out, I feel so much better. I'm smiling all the time, I have a ton of motivation/drive to do stuff, and I just feel good all day. Obviously I still get my lows, but I feel so good. Even with not quite enough sleep, I'm just in such a good mood. There's really nothing I can compare the feeling to. | ||

So it's not that I -want- to do more it's that I'm more able to -make- myself do more. But this might just be that I probably have the worst sleep schedule of anyone who regularly posts in the sports section of TL, not just in the health and fitness threads. | ||

I couldn't tell you because I haven't stopped being active for years. At this point I just can't see myself being lazy and skipping gym sessions or w/e, it's just an unavoidable part of my life now. I drag myself to the gym on monday no matter how sore/tired/hungover from the weekend and I always feel better after. | ||

Should I do progressive overloading like in the main lifts? No offense intended, but If you don't know how to regulate the supplementary exercises, I'm willing to bet that you're not advanced enough in your lifting career to need the supplementary exercises, and I don't think you've looked into the program deeply enough that you should feel comfortable modifying it. | ||

Have you ever looked at ICF phyre? It calls for hyperextensions, curls, triceps extensions, close grip bench press (or dips/weighted dips), pullups/chinups, and a couple of other accessory lifts (weighted crunches I believe being one of them). It's a completely legitimate question, however I think Jason Blaha answers it in his long video, as well as his Monday Q&As. It's also considered a novice program by Jason himself, and really even something like Candito's beginner program uses a lot of assistance movements. Ice Cream Fitness isn't meant for strength necessarily, although that is basically a major consequence of squatting 3x a week. It's mostly meant for hypertrophy/strength work. https://www.youtube.com/JuggernautFitnessTV Good luck with the program :D | ||

I had no idea there was a video series. I don't like the routine, personally, but that had nothing to do with XXGeneration's question. It's not actually a program focused on strength at all - it attempts to be a program for the novice bodybuilder, like SS and SL are programs for the novice powerlifter. There is strength work, because strength work is necessary to get to the goal, but strength is not actually the goal of the program. Anyway, a good beginner program is goign to tell you how to regulate your lifts. ALL of your lifts. The point stands that if you don't yet know how to regulate assistance exercises, you probably haven't looked into the program enough, and especially not enough that you should consider yourself qualified to modify it. If it actually doesn't tell you, and you can't figure it out, you probably haven't been lifting very long, and you probably don't need that many exercises anyway (and again, you shouldn't feel comfortable modifying it). Basically my answer was a roundabout way of saying "go research more" if that wasn't quite clear. | ||

Basically my answer was a roundabout way of saying "go research more" if that wasn't quite clear. It's an ok program. It's probably a bit too complex and has a bunch of unnecessary work imo (why the hell would anyone want to do shrugs before they can deadlift like 400 lbs?), but it's not really that terrible if you just want to do basic bodybuilding. Honestly, most of it comes down to nutrition anyway and for a novice I'm not sure the programming is the number one concern. Also, to make researching your lifts easier: That is the video Jason should talk about ancillary exercises in. Some of them are easy to regular (90% of 5RM Barbell Rows, etc.), and some of them I would just sit through the video and check out. Good luck. | ||
