None
Plan Details
The 5 Day Bulk (No barbell squats or deadlifts) routine by Bowtiez is a 7 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
A mix of barbell, dumbbell, and cable exercises. Lower back trouble? No barbell squats or deadlifts in this plan as I’ve replaced those compound lifts with a mix of dumbbell exercises which effectively target those muscle groups. Progressive overload is key for bulking, so up the weight or the reps for each exercise week after week. And be sure to drink water, eat plenty of protein and veggies, and SLEEP! Good luck, you got this.
