@stunts2040 As I mentioned, it's the overall leaning. That small paragraph is overshadowed so much by the rest of the post that's almost a contradiction.

@hoahongden Here you go https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28251401 https://www.nsca.com/education/articles/kinetic-select/static-stretching-and-performance/ If you want to learn more about stretching, warm ups, how to apply them correctly and how they impact training, I recommend you get...

@devotionspirit Isn't it too much variation? I would just do 1 exercise per muscle group per session for arms, for UL and any other training scheme. For triceps I would do an overhead extension variation one session and an horizontal extension the other one; for biceps, I would rotate between...

@paparazi257 Q4Both: Do you think stepping up on stage is for anyone who enjoy lifting? If not, then when someone comes to you for advice about it, which boxes should they check for you to give the ok?

@paparazi257 Q4Both: How are you and your clients keeping up with your training under our current circumstances?

@sarange As a general guideline Mike recommends keeping it at no more than 10-15 sets per muscle group per session.

@paparazi257 Q4Both: What do you do to just unwind?

@paparazi257 Q4Both: What are 3 things that annoy you the most about some current practices/trends in the sport?

@gbeach All the info you need: https://weightology.net/the-members-area/evidence-based-guides/set-volume-for-muscle-size-the-ultimate-evidence-based-bible/ A good program for someone who has been training for years like you:

@great_depression Bench pressing with your legs up is terrible for both your spine (no arch = more intervertebral disc compression, aggravated by a tendency to crunch when pushing the weight up becomes difficult, and beyond that because maintaining a "neutral" position is one impossible to...

@paparazi257 Q4Both: Chicken or the egg question: for you who are both scientists and competitors, what came first, the interest for seeing how science can be applied to change the body, or the practice of the sport, with the rest being an extension?

@gracesophia11 I meant to implement a simple reduction in daily calories instead of crazy proxy methodologies like extreme fasting, extreme food-type exclusions, etc. About how much to reduce, usually when you plateau you reduce 200-500 kcal per day (and/or increase expenditure by adding more...

@gracesophia11 Every point: not really important for what you want. What would really make a difference: eat fewer calories using a normal deficit.

@dawn16 If you're not currently doing so, think about moving to an upper-lower split, or (if your available time per session and volume requirements allows it) a full body workout. With those, missing a training day is less of a problem, and you can recover sessions much easier.

@paparazi257 Thank you both so much for your insights! it has been tremendously helpful, personally you've given me plenty of things to think about. Now I know we're way past the schedule but just in case you're still around, I realize we forgot to ask some questions to go further in depth in a...

@nevermindkid But that is an explanation to how I came to that conclusion. Everything I explained is based on basic anatomy and experience in the gym, if there's some point that you don't agree with or that I may have explained poorly pls highlight it.

@hopetoday They can, the problem is overlap. You probably also train your chest and back (if not, well...), and the thing is every pulling exercise uses the rear delt and every pushing exercise uses the front delt. So at the end of the day you end up giving them more fatigue than what you...

@karab Yep, that's what every nutrition expert has always said for the past 20 years you know, "pick a couple of some groups, then eat always the same every day, even repeating foods in the same day". So don't listen to me.

@john_177 Look for "mobility" in the Athlean-X youtube channel, that guy is quite reliable on that subject.

@dawn16 He must have just extrapolated a position he knows to be better in the situations he's familiar with, like while being iddle, to a situation he knows nothing about (lifting). Not saying he's dumb, it's something we often unconsciously do, especially professionals, applying their...
