“All the stretch & squeeze in the world will not substitute for more weight on the bar with good form.” You need to pin that comment Faz. Great stuff.

Your channel is so criminally underrated with all these other bs content around. Hopfully you gain a gazillion of followers in the near future!

This looks absolutely fantastic! I own the Barbarian/Wizard and it feels like I'm reading through one of if those great ebooks but in verbal format here. Well thought out and logical as always. Cool to see your spin on it 🔥 P.S. 8k subs is approaching!

Yeah that was the idea, to talk you through it at a conversational pace.

This is perfect for me. I always train 3x a week but sometimes days are back to back which makes Full body not the best for me. This looks great. Thanks Faz

Fkn awesome work as always faz

Such solid advice Faz 👊

Always great content. Thanks Faz.

Thanks for the awesome content, Faz. Always appreciate your insights.

Listened to this on a walk, the ideas were presented really clearly. No pen and paper, just straight raw talk and advice 💪

Awesome content as always! 👏👏👏

Brilliant message at the start about fomo, we need more of that from other channels too.

Thanks for this. Cementing what you’ve said before along with other experienced lifters

Faz the Goat!💪🏽

Thanks Faz! I'm running a variation of The Wizard at the moment. I have less time in the summer so I train 3 days per week, but for about two hours or even longer. It's great. Progress is slow, but I'm progressing in most lifts expect chin ups which for some reason is stuck. I definitely am not adding 20kg to my bench in a year though. I generally gain a rep every 2-3 weeks, which means I gain 2.5kg every 6-8 weeks. That's more like 12.5kg per year. I'm happy with that, but I know some feel that it's too little.

Great video. I see lots of people in the gym that this will help tremendously. I have used this program with great success over the years. Appreciate you putting this out. Respect

Thanks for this Faz, I have ran your upper lower routine in the past with good results, but recently have preferred a shorted workout 5-6 days a week. I have been running GVS ravage for the last 6/12. I like that routine but after 6/12 I feel like a change so will give this PPL routine a go.

Legend 💪👍

Going to do this as a 4 day a week plan 💪

6:20 How big are your fkin hands bro

Im going to try this routine after my 4 month service 👌

Damn Faz, only two mins in and you hit me with that 40kg to your bench comment! Gonna give me a complex 😅😜

Really nicely explained. Tempted to try this, I am kind of hesitant of not always making it for twice a week frequency per muscle group but if you say it's fine it probably will be.

Quality work is almost always better than quantity. However if you're young and healthy then running this while training at least 4 x week should be fine

@@Fazliftsok thank you!

I recently ran myself down after trying to do a really really high volume, high effort body part split with 25+ working sets per workout and evrything was 5 working sets, as heavy as I could for as many reps as I could on each exercise. Lasted a month then a few days ago I started feeling really weak and even the empty barbbell felt heavy

Faz is the man!

I used to do way more pressing than pulls and ended up wirh major shoulder issues. Once i did much more pulls ive never had issues again

I personally really like 4 day per week torso/limbs… I hit a 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat, and 4 plate deadlift doing it gaining lifter arms (as opposed to a spider physique) and at least looking I lift according to my friends. I have been getting coaching from GVS for about a month now into my cut and we were doing upper, upper, full body, upper at first since I told him upper chest and arms are priority muscles for me but we went back to torso/limbs since it works well for me. I like the flexibility, arm prioritization, and recovery of torso/limbs. This looks solid though Faz! 4 to 8 sets per bodypart per session is about what I am doing.

Great job Fazlifts! I'm curious what people can use for an alternative to leg press if they work out at home. Front squat?

@Fazlifts

4 күн бұрын

Sure. My home gym clients will use pause squats for 5 to 8, or high rep squats in the 12 to 15 range. Front Squat occasionally but not a big fan of it

Thank you for the informative video faz, random question if I wanted to do a push pull leg routine how would I schedule it 4 times a week?

@Fazlifts

Pick 4 days where you have time to train and then go to the gym on those days and train. 1st week : PPLP 2nd week : PLPP Etc Good luck.

💪💪

The key advantage of PPL as you say is that it enables you to basically just hit the days whenever you can get to the gym. Whereas with Upper-Lower you have to be a bit more structured. The other advantage is that the back receives better priority, bc let's face it back can get a bit deprioritised on upper-lower. From anecdotal experience though, there are definitely some ppl who do the PP and then don't quite get to the L. 😂 For this reason, I think there's something to be said for ppl doing legs-push-pull. The lower-body machines may be quieter on international chest day anyway.

@Fazlifts

I wouldn't agree that Upper Lower deprioritises back. Actually I think a lot of you guys come from other KZreadrs who don't know how to program Upper Lower correctly, and as a result are biased against it. In my Upper Lowers I program them correctly, and I've never had an issue growing clients back or anything else. I regularly post client results on my Instagram and I don't see ANYONE else showing the frequency and quality of results I get and I regularly use Upper Lowers.

@@FazliftsTo be clear, I like Upper-Lower and have no bias against it. I think it has a lot of plus points, & is probably a very solid default for a lot of lifters - especially when properly programmed. I just tend to think the average gym bro may do two chest exercises and then hit some unambitious lat pulldowns before moving to arms & laterals. Maybe he's seen some Athlean-X and knocks out some facepulls between pushdowns as well. The PPL definitely fixes that.

@Fazlifts

Yeah maybe, but then maybe those guys would also just skip pull day lol I just see UL get a lot of hate on the online space because 1-2 content creators talk down on it, to sell their own programs. I just want people to know that a lot of what goes on 'online' doesn't actually reflect reality and it's just KZreadrs click baiting their audience with contrarianism.

I am somewhat stuck for sometime now and can't really progress ... I would consider myself in the intermediate category. Most recent strength stats: - DB flat press: 40 kg x6 - Front squats (20 ° wedge): 80kg x5 - RDL: 140 kg x8 - Dips: bw x20 - Pullups (wide): bw x12 Male, 33, 1,94 m, ~ 91 kg, quite lean (not ripped but ~ perfume model level). Would you say this is intermediate or still beginner?

This fell just about right cause i was looking around for some "structure"

Hey, will this work for 3X per week frequency? Like only doing one push session one pull session and one leg session?
