    Guidance for what next

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 03:34 AM PST

    Hi guys, I'm hoping on some advice on if i'm doing the right things and where to go to keep moving forward.

    Me: 5'4 (162cm), 38 years old, 220odd lb's / 15st 13lb. // Diet - I'm currently aiming at 2027 calories per day for a -500c deficit (and I hope i got the maths right for that) and consuming 221g of protein a day for 35% of my intake (again, I hope I got this right)

    https://old.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/2e79y4/dumbbell_ppl_proposed_alternative_to_dumbbell/

    6 days a week - PPL/PPL/Rest.

    Also doing a short core workout after each one and some small cardio inbetween.

    I've been sticking to this routine because I have access to dumbells at home and over the last 12 weeks i've moved up weight pretty consistently whilst keeping good form. (still in beginner territory and im pretty weak :D)

    I'm here to ask what do I do? I've got pretty comfortable with this routine and I enjoy it - should I stick with it and keep trying to move up weights and pushing ? or is it really important to change and add variety (which I think is the case?). - Should I just change a few exercises for alternative dumbell exercises?

    Equipment wise I have:

    Dumbells going upto about 18kg (i'm curently lifting between 8.5-10 depending on the exercise).

    A single 10kg kettlebell

    Some resistance bands.

    Im not oppose to buying a barbell if it's the next step towards growth and better exercise, but more than that and i'm out of room in the flat and the wife will go nuts :D

    If I squat using two 6kg dumbbells, should I log it as 12kgs or 6kgs?

    Title says it all. I'm just a little unsure if I should log it as 6kgs as that is the dumbell I have in each side, or if I should log it as 12kgs which is a total of the two 6kg dumbbells I have on each side.

    Beginner needs advice for workout routine

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 02:16 AM PST

    I just barely 1 year into weightlifting, started earlier last year but stopped couple months due to pandemic, and now gyms are started to open so I am thinking into going to the gym agai.

    I used to follow A B full body routine, 5 days a week, sometimes 4, never 6 or 7. A: bench press, row, squat B: shoulder push, shoulder pull, deadlift

    With such routine, I notice my shoulder and back noticably thicker, while I barely notice any different on my pecs, abs, arms, and legs.

    So, should I modify this routine wby adding more isolation exercise? Or should I build completely new one?

    The problem with arranging my own experiences is that I don't know that deeply into what muscle groups are involved on given exercise. Like, Bench press, I know it mainly for pecs development but I am not sure which one is more involved during bench press, biceps or tricep. Thus, I can't decide where to put those isolation exercises. Because Greg Doucette, Jeff Nippard, etc says that you can only train muscle group 2 - 3 times a week, and never 2 days in a row.

    I can't afford to buy their books and/or hire personal trainer for now. So help me figure this out masters. 🙏
