Full Body 5-6 times a week on the bicylce

[medicinemood]

Hi. I know this has brought up in the past. I've trained for about 5 years. When I'm not riding the bike I have been squatting 5-6 times a week with some great results. I usually am front squatting those days and will bench 3-4 times a week and DL twice or so. What are your guys thoughts on Squats/Bench everyday while on cycle and should I be pushing myself harder (like new 5rm/1rm a week) or doing the same RPE I've been doing?

I don't think I would ever push past RPE 9 in that situation. Going for PRs and hitting RPE 10 when I should have hit 9 always ends up making me hit a wall when running an RPE program. I think you should keep doing what you're doing.

It's a terrible idea. Your elbows will hate you your shoulders will strain and our body won't recover you can't do multiple compounds daily with heavy weight even when you do a squat everyday program if it's done right generally you never pass a 8RPE. If you want to get a new 5rm weekly then you'd have to be a brand new lifter doing a linear program who's never touched weights before. I don't know what kind of "biking" you are doing but if it's anything like myself then having sore legs and shot shoulders ain't gonna help you

I've never done the cycling cause I don't need the cardio.
But I will say when my girl does it her ass/legs look fucking awesome.

The indoor bike things take a lot of getting used to.
When my girl started she was borderline suffering getting used to the bikes.

"Riding the bicycle" is code for being on cycle. I'm pretty sure this is what he's referring to, lol.

You should start a log of this type of training now or when you start your blast. I've read Squat Every Day, but never tried it. I'd love to see a log of it and I'm sure a lot of others would, too.

I got a squat everyday log somewhere on meso did it for 76 days or something stupid like that made some awesome results with it but it was hell

Was I around for that? I think I remember it actually. Still I like seeing logs of different training styles.

I think you were just starting your residency here at that point probably was about a year and a half possibly

I'd like to try it someday. I have a hard time not pushing the RPEs too hard for the sake of progress sometimes though.

If you only bench 4x a week you are not working hard enough.

I agree with you. Need to add squats and deadlifts too.

I'll start this as my log.

First day. Haven't been sleeping lately. Natty, planning cycle. 6ft 180. 12% BF. Pretty weak compared to you folks. Early 30s.

I was up pretty early so read a bit and then hit the gym.

FS- work up to 300x1
Went up pretty easy
Bench- work up to 240x5
Pull-ups- 25 dead hangs

I plan to DL, weighted chin up and row later on this afternoon. I'm gonna see how this frequency pans out for me. I'm not doing a ton of volume.
