@jkitten I just outlined exactly what bugs me under antranik's feedback post here, check it out if you're interested.

@jkitten The RR is not only a routine, but also a page with a wealth of information that is in danger of being archived and buried. That's where the false dichotomy comes from.

@dontdosadness I'm not being "snarky", I'm being matter-of-fact. Just because I don't punctuate every sentence with an exclamation mark, doesn't mean I'm impolite. It's arguably more impolite to write a wall of text without addressing the main issue, responding to a bunch of things I didn't...

@dontdosadness Ok, pushback time. Most changes are sound and long coming, but some are a matter of preference and others are a step back. Long story short: keep the good changes, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The core work. You basically removed it while pretending that you...

@dontdosadness Is it the "standard recommendation" or is it what you feel? Previous authors clearly felt differently, and for a good reason.

@kellyomara Not quite. It's easy to look up the reps and rest times, but here's why they turn out like that. As a general rule, you get better at what you practice, so if you want to be stronger you need to lift as heavy and as much as possible. The problem is balancing that with fatigue, so...

@kellyomara The RR has you starting the pull-up progression with scapular pulls, working up to 8x5s arch hangs in proper form (90 bend in the shoulder). Now it's not a bad idea to include these exercises at the start for a diverse crowd of fitness beginners, they are good for shoulder health, a...

@fromgenesistorevelation To put my feedback most laconicly: don't bury the good stuff. There will never be a consensus on what's to be done with core and lower back training and a couple of different things. Reasonable people will disagree. A newcomer reading the "official sub routine" can...
