don't go to the gym regularly but just do 6 exercises in a superset usually 3 or 4x, might run the treadmill between sets

horizontal push
horizontal pull
squat

vertical push
vertical pull
dl/kb swing etc

might do some face pulls or cable lateral raise also afterwards

There's no bad way to train if the alternative is not training. The health benefits of physical training are indisputable and we see the quality of life difference strength makes with older adults.

My recommendation to anyone would be to set a specific goal other than simply " I need to work out" and organize their training specifically to achieve that goal as efficiently as possible. Random exercises produce random results or many cases none at all.

For beginners:

Be forewarned that you end up looking "right wing" if you start training like this - like you're some sort of Trump voter.

Since you guys know a lot of the strength training programs, do you have any thoughts on the RP Strength Training templates? Are they about the same as BBM Bridge 3.0 or others? Are they more for aesthetics?

I'm looking to adjust my program soon, and thought I might check these out.

RP strength training? You mean, Mike Israetel and these guys?

They're probably good but $120 for a program and there was no way for me to select 'genderfluid'.

Yep, that's the one. Already done SS, and I like BBM for information, so was trying to decide on Bridge but then saw RP. but $120 is 4x as much.

It's actually a super easy program to follow, and to make great gains on. I don't think you have to be advanced at all, just an understanding of the basic lifts, and it's perfect for a whole body routine 2-3 days a week.

or

*RPT = reverse pyramid training where you start heavier and go lighter while adding more reps
Day 1
Standing Barbell Overhead Press: 3 sets RPT (4-6, 4-6, 6-8)
Weighted Chin-ups: 3 sets RPT (5, 6, 8)
DB/KB Overhead Triceps Extensions: 3 sets RPT (8-10, 8-10, 10-12)
Leaning Lateral Raises: (12-15 reps )

Day 2
Bulgarian Split Squats: 3 sets RPT (6-8, 6-8, 8-10)
Romanian Deadlifts: 4 sets x 10-12 reps (straight sets)
Single Leg Hip Thrusts: 3 sets x 10-12 reps
DB Leaning Shrugs: 4 sets x 10-15 reps

Day 3
Incline Bench Press: 4 sets RPT (4-5, 5-6, 6-8, 8-10)
Hammer Biceps Curls: 4 sets RPT (4-6, 4-6, 6-8, 6-8)
Bent Over Flyes: 4 sets...No RPT. straight sets of 10-12
Hanging Knee Raises: 4 sets of 8-12 reps

Also, Uncle Rippentoe is always good and the app is worth the $24.

I know everyone says 3 days is enough and you need more rest but I feel like I need more

maybe switch to a 4 day split of the training stress is nor enough for an adaptation.

i'm restarting lp after a 6 wk layoff.

if anyone can help with how to train and surf at the same time? once the weights get near my limit, it becomes tough to surf the following day or two.

On Barbell Medicine? It's like $65?

Can you link where you're finding free?

I think Bridge 1.0 is free. You can probably also google it for spreadsheet versions that people are sharing. Bridge 3.0 is the paid version, I'm pretty sure.
