Gotcha. Yea you definitely do not need that many warm up sets. I only asked about the poundage because if you're benching something like 405lbs you can't just do one "warm up" set of 250 then jump to 405. What does you're current routine look like? In a way you've almost answered the...

Hard to say. What type of poundages are you using? Warming up for a 35# curl wouldn't be necessary especially if you've done something like Chinups before. If you're benching 405 yes you'll need to ramp those sets up

for you, no, failure is perfectly fine. A competitive Olympic weightlifter then no I obviously would not recommend failure. It's really again about goals. For the general population that is typically "busy" and under time constraints failure is the most efficient way to train. If you're a...

According to Otto, my old professor, what would be the point of the submax set, other than to "warm up" or burn extra calories?

What about Steve Reeves?

Can I ask what symptoms you have? TRT isn't supposed to make you feel like you're on a cycle. You should feel "normal" whatever that is. Even at dosages over 200mg from what I've studied seems too high to be on for extended periods of time. Anything I've read/studied the most I've seen Is 150mg...

Of course they do. It's an interesting science because it really doesn't matter. If you followed a 3x10 stopping short of failure routine you will still get results only if however it's 3x10 at 100#s then at some point in the future 3x10 at 110#s. The key to any program is progression. I've...

Love Dorian. Def did more than 3 exercises per body part though. On smaller muscles like biceps yea. At least from what I recall from watching his training tapes. Favored intensity over volume for sure. Temple gym is a mans gym lolol

I think 250mg is high for TRT. I'm not sure the specialist would prescribe that high of a dosage. "Beginning" body builders first cycles start at 250mg. This is more of a base 250-500mg for a cycle vs more of a therapeutic dose. Did a Dr. advise that dose?

Check out the warrior diet. You may like that better than an all out fast.

Maybe 5 years ago, not 100% sure. I know he's done at least one more not sure after that. He did test only, he didn't "stack" anything else with it. Seems healthy to me although I have no idea what his blood work looks like lol. Not something we really talk about. He's on and off training now...

Oh I totally agree with you. I'm not saying to do them im just saying that one cycle done "properly" shouldn't be what caused some serious health concern. Years of abuse is a completely different topic. What really gets me too is the fact that most users don't even inject properly and that in...

There's a definite difference between use and abuse much like any other "drug". There's also a difference between oral and injectable steroids. TRT is pretty much the most minimal "effective" dosage to bring levels up to a normal state and doesn't necessarily create a huge anabolic state...

I never read his book. Just the mwod site and YouTube.

Legit. I do mobility work before every session most of which I learned from his info. Many techniques are different from what I knew but they have helped me tremendously.

Just look at the pec area right on the clavicle and the traps. Those areas tend to have more androgen receptors than other places on the body so they tend to blow up very quickly. The pec area immediately on the clavicle is also harder to develop for the "normal/natural" trainee. I'd say upper...

Kinda miss the days of competitive oly lifting.

It's kind of funny now that I'm really thinking about it. I've always found those that do more aerobic type of work have greater potential anaerobically but not necessarily the other way around how McGuff states. Think about the "jocks" back in high school. Those that could run and Jump etc...

Yup. It's just about goals and the most efficient way to get there and keeping it fun. One last note with all the college athletic teams I worked with the soccer athletes generally could handle just about anything we threw at them, moreso than lax or baseball, whether anaerobic or aerobic...

I hear ya. I was just asking, according to the book based on what McGuff says, should one be able to run or do more aerobic type work just as efficiently as if he was doing something like running? So if one was to do super slow leg press, could one perform "reasonably well" in let's say a...
