volume

Hello, I’m new here. I’m looking for advice on my program I made. I only have 4 days a week to work out at the most due to kids, work and just busy life. I think upper lower is probably my best split option but threw my triceps work on my lower days so I can focus on them more when they are...

In conjugate I monitor everything, but I haven't figured out how to calculate a number representative of volume for the bodyweight (and weighted) assistance. Pullups - what percentage of bw should I assign to a pullup? Also, say I add 100lb, is it then simply (% x BW +100)? Dips, hanging leg...

Hello, I would like to hear some feedback on my own kettlebell routine. Also, do tell if you recognize other similar principles or programs in it. I'd really appreciate it. The goal of the routine is to be something that is independent of the equipment (though of course, I prefer the KBs)...

Hi all, I'm interested in hearing thoughts and experiences of stopping most sets based on when speed starts slowing down. Is this as hard as StrongFirst recommends pushing a set outside of record attempts? My focus is higher rep bodyweight basics (chins, dips, skater squats). I come from...

Hi guys, this is my first post on StrongFirst but I've read pretty much all the great info on here - thanks so much to the contributors. I'm 47 years old and been lifting seriously for the last 3 - 4 years. I've got arthritis in the elbows and need to keep a close eye on weight, volume and...
