What's your preferred workout program?

I used to just do a 4x/week workout routine, but I recently found out that 2x a week with HIT training is just as benefical if not more.

How do you guys feel about minimalistic training/HIT Training versus frequency?

I'm 3 days a week strength training. Run my own "program". I like it, and it works for me. Typically it's a M-W-F unless I have to move a day around. On T-R, I just do some cardio. If I miss the cardio day, I'll do a kettlebell complex that night or on the weekend. I like to have 5 days of movement. I eventually want to bump that to 7 days, but I don't want to jump into that right away and not be able to get it.

I'm currently running a very simple workout plan that's four days a week. I play softball and kickball two nights so it's difficult to get to the gym more than 4 times a week.

Before PPSA, I had a split of Chest, Arms, Back, Shoulders and Legs which was decent but using PPSA has greatly elevated my ability in the gym.

Currently doing a version of the Greyskull LP. I'll normally bounce around to one of Johnny Pain's or Jim Wendler's programs, depending.

PPSA are the only workout programs that I’ve ever been consistent with.

All others I fizzle out of.

I've been doing 531 for a few months and I've put on some size even though I'm not necessarily trying to. I also row a few days a week and do farmers walks. 531 has a deload week after each cycle but so far I haven't been doing them. I miss enough days that I'm not in danger of overtraining.

Currently 531 3 days a week, combined with LISS 3 days a week. Simple, easy. Also working hard on mobility issues.

Currently doing a slightly modified version of a 531 template from his Beyond book.

It’s a 4-day-a-week program, but doing 3 days a week. I am finding that I get better results from 3 days, as long as I am conditioning on my off-days. I also wanted to start prioritizing conditioning. As I age, I think strength AND conditioning are equal in importance. They probably always are, but for us old men, the benefits of conditioning are readily apparent.

My go-to programs are 531 and PPSA. Although, I often venture out and try other things as well. Was doing the Jeff Nippard PPL Hypertrophy program before committing to 531.

Edited: I posted twice. Lol

I have this fully body program that focuses on chest that I really like.

M-F with Chest 3x per week.

Today is a leg day: Squats, Leg extensions and Leg curls. Later in the week it will be legs again but with leg press and hack squats as my secondary leg lifts along with squats.

And 3-4 days of CrossFit tossed in there.
