Thread: How's this?

shrugs for 6 reps is stupid, any isolation for 6 reps is stupid, If it was me I wouldnt do shugs at all

yeah, i usually do shrugs for higher reps, like at least 12. I just figured i'd stick with the power scheme and do them for 6. Next time I'll just keep them higher rep.

IMO you should drop p/p/l go with a higher frequency program like upper/lower/upper/lower or total body 3x a week.

I think I'm gonna switch to a total body 3 times/week in a few weeks actually. I was doing an upper/lower/off/upper/lower/off/off split for a long time and I always felt worn out lifting 4 days hard/week. I made good gains hitting everything twice/week up until a year ago. It seemed that once I hit 27 I started feeling run down alot. Then I went to a bodypart split and after reading on here for awhile, I realized that that wasn't the way to go so I went to push/pull/legs. I'm gonna stick with this for a few more weeks then go to a total body 3 times week. I like lifting 3 days/week cuz it allows me to run on my off days which I really like. I'm not really looking to add anything right now. I'm 5'11" 190-195lbs and 10.5% BF. Just lookiing to give my body a bit of a break for the time being and maintain what I've got...

Looks fine to me. I don't prefer isolation stuff at low reps, but shrugs might be an exception. I think the soft tissues involved can handle fairly heavy loads with a shrug. Hell, you're going to be doing explosive shrugs with heavy weight when you do cleans anyway. Of course, there's nothing wrong with keeping the reps higher on just that one movement.
