There's a certain soft drink I can't remember it's name. It works miracles.
I'm sure you mean Mike Changs Afterburn Fuel. It works wonders, i mean, it's like magic. Have you seen you can now also get a magic pill, so you will get ripped while you SLEEP? So now with Mike Chang, you can get ripped while you eat, sleep, rave and everything else which does not include working out. And you can grow your dick larger with his new pre workout dick enlargener powder. Comes in both banana, cookies & cream and bullshit-flavour

2x15 is a waste of time. You're not gonna gain mass from that many reps. Lower reps, more sets.

Also, squats bench and deadlift on the same day might be too much. If you go three times a week, you can break it up into chest/tris, back/bis and shoulder/legs instead of full body.
Then i would only work out each group of muscles once a week. I would prefer to work each group at least two times a week, which is why i would like a full body program. I like doing the "big three", but if going three times a week, maybe i could do two of them each time, thus doing each two times a week, and not have to do all three..

Hey Zach (& co)

I'm going to start working out, doing a full body program (i think, because going to the gym three times a week fits my daily life) but i wonder how i should construct it. I guess i would want to do some of the heavy compound movements, since time would be wasted doing to many isolation lifts...

Squat 5x5
Incline bench 5x5
Deadlift 5x5
Dumbell side laterals: 2x15
Barbell curls: 2x15
Triceps pushdows: 2x15

Something like that maybe, and then i would like to lay in an extra chest exercise because i feel it's my 'weak point' size-wise. Might be going weighted launches or something extra for the legs aswell, but that would be it, if i am to complete the program in 1½ hours, which would be my goal.

I've lost quite some muscle i think, since i haven't really worked out consistently for the last two years after i got a liverdisease back in 2012. So 2012 was my 'peak' with around 100 kg in bench, 140 in squat and 130 in deadlifts for a 3x5 (just to do a comparison, i think i would do 80-85 in bench, 120 squat and 110 in deadlifts now at best)...

My goal is to build a bit of muscle, but i don't want to get too big (no risk of that for the forseable future, so i don't have to worry much about that), i would like an athletic body, but not a bodybuilders body (does that make sense?). I think, since im not very big at the moment - 36 cm around the guns for example, 178 cm tall and around 78 kg, with not too much fat, though more than ever - that a full body program would do just fine.

I know what to do diet-wise, but i could really use some inputs for the program. You might notice there is nothing for the abs, but i will do that the days where i'll be running... Since my illness i haven't really found that happiness and continual motivation to go to the gym, and i would really like to get back into it being a habit like it was before.
Dont worry, you wont even remotely get big with that attitude

Your deadlift is very weak relatively to your other lifts. Start a Bill Star intermediate, and try to find out what muscle group is lacking

Then add assistance excercises on that specific group

JUST GO TO THE FUCKEN GYM AND STOP ASKING THIS AND THAT!

Best advice ever.
You are right. But there is the mental aspect of "believing that a schedule will work"

Depends on the recovery speed of the central nerve system, and how much you allow your quadriceps to be fucking pathetic
i've ran a 9 week smolov +2x/week deadlifts.

Lift big to become big. Easy.

Easy to write I mean, not to do. And apparently many people underestimate the lift big part.
+eat big

and if you wanna get real big +juice big

The only way to get an unattractive physique is either a) juice b) getting fat liek Zach

Steamed is the way to go though.
Yep. I steam broccoli and beans I grow.

I mean, they're dumbbells. I never tried them but I assume they should work fine. Idk how reliable those weight changing ones are though.
I assume the same, but I just wondered about things like grip and ease of use, as it seems you have to put your hands right into the middle of the block to reach the bar.

Fat was 25kg ago son. And juice only gets you a bad physique if you are an idiot that is doing it wrong
Most high-level competitive bodybuilders have pretty puffy, flabby physiques outside of competition season due to a combination of juicing and the caloric demands required to pack on as much muscle mass as they want to. The diets they go on 6 weeks out from comps are pretty crazy too shed all that fat and stop the extreme water retention they want during hypertrophy phases.

Juicing for pure strength shouldn't make anyone fat. Look at the Bulgarian Olympic lifters from the 80s. Plus, sprinters, and other such athletes are good example of just how slim juicers can stay, as it mostly depends on diet and goals whether juicing causes you to get fat or not. Most cases of this I have witnessed, were with people not reducing their caloric intake enough when they got off the juice.
