@aeri20 I superset almost everything, but basically if one movement uses a machine or rack or bench, the other lift will use the same Bench or equipment or I'll use freeweights like dumbells. And I don't take any longer of a rest when I superset so it's usually not a bother. But my gym is never...

Just gonna reply to myself to ask @prcg345 what your training is like for your erectors? And abs?

@leena2016 That fact has helped affirm my gratitude for being incredibly average in height and everything else. I've joked before I'm like the guy from idiocracy. The most average person to exist. But average isn't bad and gives you a lot of opportunity to improve. I was also never...

@buckbran My advice would be, since you just finished what seems to be a long and fairly aggressive cut just maintain for a bit, maybe the summer, and you'll make good gains. If you say you made gains on the cut and were basically a beginner, then you'll definitely still make gains at...

@amandal I was around that low of calories I think though I didn't track super hard at 5'9.5 and 160 lbs at 12% bf. I wanna say I was targeting 16-1800 or less than 2k and at the end I had an arbitrary end goal I wanted to hit so I did some really low calorie days and basically fasted but had...

@clarissa_ I count sloppy reps by noting that they're sloppy. Nothing wrong with a slightly sloppy rep if you don't delude yourself that it was great, but it's a decent way to get really close to or past failure, or better and more accurately track your progress. Obviously only on lifts that...

@decibyte I guess I'll say more not nice things about someone based on one very telling desire. Yeah they're disgusting. I'd draw the line there. So lazy and vain instead of hardworking. I don't understand how anyone would actually think it's an acceptable thing to even consider. It could...

@robrandazzo Yeah I'm big on failure. Everything that can safely be taken to failure is taken to failure every set. Less safe movements I usually keep 1 RiR. I don't do a ton of volume. Usually between 12-15 sets for muscle groups. Only 6 of isolation for bis tris Rear delts, etc. I grow...

@mayaann I take caffeine pills/coffee before working out depending on what time I work out. I take creatine daily. Before bed I usually take fish oil, vitamin d, magnesium, fenugreek, ginger, turmeric and circumin, GABA, and I recently added Ashwaganda. I find it helps my anxiety a bit and helps...

@rochendil Honestly a 700 calorie a day deficit at 240 pounds isn't even an aggressive cut. It's just a regular cut. You'd lose roughly 6 pounds a month or 1.5 pounds a week. Regular cut is losing .5% to 1% of bodyweight a week, which would be 1.2 to 2.4 lbs a week. So 1.5 lbs a week is right on...
