Any gym rats use Fitbod app and its routines?
Discussion
I usually design my own routines and they are often built around the main compounds like leg press (cant squat), bench, overhead press, deadlift. I don't do much isolation or accessory work and I try to use progressive overload. Lately its been grinding me down and I'm loosing the will to go to the gym. Also I wanted to try bodybuilding style vs strength training.
I've found this app called fitbod and was after feedback. It sets the workout routine based on your goals and is smart enough to separate muscle groups so you don't over train. Anyone used it or can offer any feedback? I've set it for intermediate lifter and bodybuilding but so far I'm a bit underwhelmed. I did a legs routine last week which was brutal, legs are still sore 4 days later. Today it suggested tris, bicep and abs. Heres the routine it came up with;
Close grip bench 6sets of 3 reps
Superset DB bicep curl 4x8 and 4x6 DB skullcrusher
EZ-Bar curl 3x8
DB Hammer Curl 4x4
Super set 3x22 Scissor Kick and 3x15 Superman
Is it just me or is that a bit crazy on the isolation work?
