Butt stuff programming

[Alex]

Hi Joe,

The program has banded barbell RDL’s listed on both glute day and again on pull day which would be right before lower body day. I would usually be hesitant to do any type of deadlift the day before a leg day so I wanted to ask if these days were meant to be done back to back or in another order or if you’d advise a rest day between the pull and lower days.
I’m curious and would like to understand the programming.

Thanks a lot,
Alex

Got it, thank you.

I definitely understand not programming off days since people can’t always stick to the same days of the week and such. I was mostly curious on your take in general here in terms of programming similar muscle groups on back to back days for most people. Granted recovery can vary so I get that it’s individual.

This just gave me a flashback of when my girlfriend was duped into signing up for (terrible) training at a (terrible) commercial gym and they had her do conventional deadlifts for the very first time on the day before her own scheduled leg day and I almost lost my mind.

I also wanted to add in a dedicated arm day for myself after the lower body day / before glutes and turn this into a 5 day split.

I know I can add an additional workout in the app each individual week, but is there a way to make this recur for every week of the program?

App also throws my posts on wrong tabs for some reason

Thanks for the updates.

I have a slightly different question now.
I needed to follow the glute day with a pull day this week and because of that I did a back & bicep workout to replace the pull day from the program.
Is there a way to delete the programmed pull day from a certain week?

I did this because I didn’t want to repeat RDLs 2 days in a row.
I realize I’m essentially not following the program to a T anymore so it’s my own problem, but it looks like I have to log the programmed pull day no matter what.

As of right now, no. But we have two updates in progress to fix this. So be the end of next week you’ll be able to completely build program/edit programs.
