The Big 4 are retarded for male aesthetics. It should be:
Deadlift -> Chinup
Bench -> Incline Bench
Squat -> Trap Bar Deadlift
OHP stays the same
The Big 4 are retarded for male aesthetics. It should be:. Deadlift -> Chinup. Bench -> Incline Bench
Limiting yourself to 4 exercises is retarded
>chin up and not pull up
>fair but too much shoulders considering OHP
>Why would you replace the fucking squat
>based
If it ain't broke
>for male aesthetics
Trying to look pretty to make up for your homosexual personality?
What kind of new cope is this. You should try taking some pride in your appearance and making your body look the way you want it to look
You made a thread specifically telling people to disregard lifts that build your strength to instead chase looks.
Not to mention that you've swapped deadlift for fucking chin ups.
Can you imagine apples in your mind? Can you see the apple as 2D or 3D? What colour is it?
Trying to make up for my LACK of personality, nigga.
I am so sick and tired of this dyel novice doctrine spouting shit. Nigga just lift. Train your chest, it doesnt matter if you do bb bench or db or incline or flat or whatever the fuck. Train your shoulders. It doesnt matter if you do ohp or seated DB ohp or some shoulder machine or whatever the fuck. Train your back. It doesnt matter if you do bb rows or db rows or weighted chin ups or whatever the fuck.
All that matters is that you feel the muscles you wanna feel and go close enough to failure. Just fucking do that for 1 month for once in your fucking life and learn how retarded that whole big 4 / overly specific exercise selection thing is. God I hate the amount of sub 2 yr lifters here
Nice. Nice.
>male aesthetics
That's not why those exercises are recommended.
It is tho. Squat and Deadlift are combined into one exercise to have less lower body focus. Chinups are added for lats and biceps. Bench is swapped for Incline bench since upper(clavicular) chest is more important than lower(sternal) chest development
clean, front squat, ohp, muscle up
>OHP stays the same
ohp does jack shit for hypertrophy lmao
dips, wide pullups, chinups
holy trinity
dips don't build the upper chest
Lateral raises or rear delt flies are better for aesthetics than OHP.
You already get front delts from incline bench so why have two exercises for that but 0 for the rest of the shoulders?
Facepulls are better for aesthetics than lateral raises or rear delt flyes
Amount of activation you get from incline bench for delts is meaningless. OHP is just delts and tris. Just because you use your core to bench better doesnt mean you get enough abs workout.
Chinups are not enough for building arms which is important for aesthetics objectively speaking. Biceps are such a small muscle that it's better to isolate, it's very hard to get enough work load on them from compounds alone. If you feel it on your arms check your form and/or check your absolute dyel status
>deadlift (quads, core, traps, forearms)
>incline bench (chest, shoulders, triceps)
>wide grip pullups (back, lats, biceps)
>squat (calves, quads, hams, glutes, core)
You really cannot go wrong with this. All routines should have these 4 as the bare minimum
You don't need 2 lower body exercises lol just do trap bar deadlift it's a combination of both. Also chinups work the biceps better
Deadlift is not a lower body exercise. Its a full body exercise. Those 4 I listed are 1 full body, 2 upper body, and 1 lower body. Which is a great balance for male aesthetics and functionality. Trap bar deadlifts replacing squats is heinous and trap bar deadlifts replacing conventional deadlifts is a meme of its own
>Also chinups work the biceps better
I should also mention that you lose more lat development by doing chin ups, whereas you still get good bicep development with wide grip, plus all the extra lat development. You really have a thing for reducing exercises to their easier (less functional) variants don't you
Anyone who replaces pullups with chinups is a coward
Simpel as
do your pullup sets then switch to chinups until until failure
simple as
My shoulders are so fucked even just trying to start a pullup wrecks my shoulders so hard. I'm stuck with chinups and lat pulldowns
I fucked my shoulder to the point most of the labrum was torn off during sports, and I was still doing pullups up to the day of surgery
Coward
Sorry anon im already struggling with injuries every part of my body i cant sacrifice my shoulders too
I don't wanna be a gymnast/circus trickster, I just wanna look good
Look at that, more cowards
If that's all you want. Just be lean
Incline - Flat/Flyes
Chin Ups - DB Rows
Laterals - Upright Rows
Skullcrushers - Overhead Extensions
EZ Curls - Hammer Curls
Why don’t I just do one of the big 4 first, then do some body builder lifts for the rest of my workout?
squat->front squat
>trap bar deadlifts
