So we all probably have heard this saying, Built Like A Brick Shit House LOL? So my question is what workout program would you guys recommend to become Built Like A Brick Shit House? Hope what I am asking makes sense.
 
I like powerbuilding and compound movements to acquire the mass for a few years. Then several training blocks over a few years of volume training like GVT 10x10 or Vince Gironda’s 8x8 programs to solidify and harden the physique. IMO, that’s when you can enter brick shithouse territory Lol

Yes was thinking about putting together a power building or compound movement base program, where I train 3 days a week. Something like the following as my staples Bar Squats, Deadlifts, power cleans, Bench Press, standing shoulder press, bent over rows, dips , chin ups, farmer walks

I know man. Those core lifts were my first love. Especially the big 3. I just transitioned to more hypertrophic programs and did less heavy squats and deads ans I aged for many reasons. And something inside me just died over that time. I just recently had some surgeries and I’m 100% now so I just added those taxing lifts back into my weekly routine. And I’m already a happier person.

I enjoy the physique building/sculpting part of the process but I think what benefits me most in an all around healthy way is taxing my central nervous system with some fairly heavy weights on a barbell. Mostly from squatting and deads. It just releases some sort of chemical cascade of goodness inside my body and everything just runs better.

Eventually my body will start to hurt and little, nagging injuries will get to be too much and I’ll have to take a break and do hypertrophy or something light and less taxing for a while. Getting older sucks.

But yeah, I think you should go back to those lifts for a little while and chase some numbers for a little while as a change of pace.
 
4 sets of 4
90% of 1 rep max
Plenty of rest in between with very little cardio activity.
Workout two days on and one day off.
Tons of food

With that said this was the workout of one of my closest friends. He was once ranked 7th strongest man in the world. His warm up bench was 405 for 10-12 reps.

Now with that said this is completely opposite of what I do and does not work for me at all.

Not every workout plan will work for some people and there's lots of good choices as well as coming up with your own that works for you and your bodytype as well as your goal.

100% accurate. At the end of the day you have to see what works for you and go for it.

Yes even in some cases it be like trial and error to find what works. In the case of say getting an injury you'd want an alternate exercise that would not put stress on the injured area while still getting in a satisfying workout.

to build muscle I believe isolation gets it done. chest- flat and incline bench switching every 4th time between barbell and dB. back/legs- deadlifts and squats, shoulders overhead press switching every 4th with barbell and dB. arms preacher curls rotating between seated and standing.

If you go between deads and squats, I'd find that if you go heavy on deadlift then do a light set of squats and vice versa. That's a nice superset in itself.
 
So below is the program I decided to start running 3 days week 5x5.

When all the exercises you do are heavy as shit, then you’re a brick shit house.

Your warm up weight is other ppls one rep max.

That’ll put you at that level!!
 
The program you enjoy the most will be your most successful one.
You will enjoy it, hit it the hardest and be the most dedicated to.
Ive done them all over 44 years, the basic 4-day Pro-Split works best for me (I enjoy it the most).

4 days built around the SQ, DL, Bench and OHP. Powerbuilding style (5x5) with accessories for hypertrophy (higher reps).
Some maximizers thrown in (negatives, rest-pause, etc).
