I’ve done routines where I just do Chins Db press Rows Flat db Squat Iso leg curl I’ve also done my routine now and added in an exercise for biceps and triceps. Just with the eyeball test I’d say my legs are better developed w the added leg exercises. I always ask myself though is it the added...

My routine is: Chins DB shoulder press Chest supported DB rows Flat DB bench Goblet Squat Leg extensions (w a tib bar) Isometric leg curl (w a tib bar) Calf raise same 3x in a 2 week span. 5/5 tempo one set to failure. Once in a while a drop set if I’m feeling frisky.

Yes that’s true but strength is a key component in the longevity puzzle. Stronger muscles also = stronger heart. Cardio if you’re talking about it from a training standpoint is a function of muscle contractions. Weak muscles heart works harder. Stronger muscles heart doesn’t have to work as hard...

I went to Adelphi. Carpinelli and Otto were my professors. Henneman’s size principle is definitely the key component. Most people have no clue about the orderly recruitment of motor units. And yes the SAID principle comes into play for any task. To become a better powerlifter you must practice...

I’m not saying I totally agree w those findings on the 100 reps but it has to do w proximity to failure. The last few reps of a set to failure are the ones that stimulate the most growth as that’s when the larger motor units are coming into play. So you could do 6,10,20,100 reps and as long as...

the general consensus is training to failure anywhere between 5 and 30 reps the results are basically the same. There are also studies that show the same benefit going up to 100 reps as long as sets are performed to failure. The main principle is getting to the point where you’re training at a...

I use it for my cocoa puffs lol

Love fairlife skim milk. Tastes like a milkshake

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5244582/ L-leucine might have some benefit when combined with creatine and L-carnitine in older adults. I’ve personally tried that combo as well as BCAAs alone. I don’t really see the point to be honest in taking anything like that. Did I get a...

Dbol, primobolan, and deca.

Yup totally agree. I look at it like this. Exercise to be a better functioning human physically and eat based on how you want to look. My training has been generally the same for years now and I’ve been 18% bodyfat and 10% bodyfat. Only difference is food. If I don’t care how I look I’ll be...

I think if my memory serves me correctly the body stores (depending on how much muscle you have) roughly 2000 calories worth of glycogen in skeletal muscle. The whole “depleting glycogen” thing is also overstated. If you went on a long fast maybe then you’d be depleted or ran some ultra...

The answer really is neither will substantially increase your rate of energy expenditure throughout the day. Even a HIIT session the EPOC response maybe utilizes an extra 100ish or so calories. We’re also talking an actual HIIT sessions not what people think is HIIT. The “after burn” as it’s...

I used to do a chin and a row to one chest exercises but a couple of months ago I dropped one of the back moves. So I alternate now. Went from 10 exercises in a session to 9. Chest Back Quads Shoulders Biceps Hams Triceps Traps Calves I’ve always found better growth w direct arm work and trap...

I stopped doing overhand vertical pulling for quite some time now and my back is wider now than it ever was doing pull-ups. I’m going to assume it’s because I “feel” the chins more than pull-ups. Had I just suck with pull-ups would my back be as wide as it is now, I suppose I can’t say w 100%...
