    Question thread for our AMA with Dr. Brandon M Roberts and Dr. Peter J Fitschen starting Wednesday April 15th!

    @paparazi257 Q4Both: Evidence based nutritional guidelines for bodybuilding haven't really been around for that long, yet research has come a long way to the point we have solid data on how to cover pretty much all of the basics. In your opinion, how has the relationship between the actual...

    Genetics and "Ease" of Staying Lean

    @lovelivelaugh Genetics: adaptive metabolism (you unconsciously move more when you eat more, and your hunger levels are naturally lower). Environment: in this case boils down to external things that affect you psychologically: being surrounded by supportive people, not being immersed in food...

    @mamabdog Idk man, it's your post. Add some, or don't, or you can make a comment about it in one or several of the relevant weekly threads.

    Question thread for our AMA with Dr. Brandon M Roberts and Dr. Peter J Fitschen starting Wednesday April 15th!

    @paparazi257 Q4Both: Do you see a trend for most coaches adopting a scientific approach to their practices, or are most of them still relying mainly on anecdotes and experience?

    Dealing with the modern fitness industry

    @mamabdog Gonna focus on something different since you already have some great comments here about the media and lifestyle things. That's an actual issue that's outside the scope of social media. If you look DYEL after years of consistent training at such a young and anabolic age, most likely...

    Today would’ve marked the start of a 15 week prep. Here’s the result of 6 weeks of cleaning up the bulk in anticipation of this contest prep

    @mcolley10 This piece came out then, it was made in 2018. And for an accurate interpretation you need to examine it considering other findings like the ones on volume per session. Here's Menno breaking it down so you can see how it doesn't support bro-splits at all. Also, you need to...

    Ultimate Gym Excel Sheet - Features: 22 customizable exercises, % of 1RM calculator, 1RM calculator, TDEE/BMR/BMI Calculator, Macro Plan, & MORE

    @dawn16 On one hand, as someone who has used the nSuns calculator as well as many people I know, it can be just as inaccurate. On the other hand, TDEE calculators are something you use just once when you first start tracking calories and weight, and you only need to be in the right ballpark...

    @mcolley10 Your source. Brad always shits on bro-splits, also more research opposing that training modality has come out since that time. Let's keep in mind we're talking about a competitor and not someone who lifts as a hobby.

    @smash89 Read the sources man, don't get me wrong I'm not saying the way you're doing things don't work, I'm saying you're having slower progress in return for what you do compared to what you could get by training smarter. Hell even Arnold was preaching 2x per week training back in the day...

    @servant232 "What works for you" implies you've tried everything and accurately selected the best option, nothing wrong with that, but this doesn't sound like the case. Also, while interpersonal variability exists, it's not without restriction, it's always around the averages that comes out from...

    Hypertrophy Training. It's not that complicated

    @trumpeter2 There's a chest press machine that simulates the widening and shortening of the grip width during a full ROM dumbbell press, while also adjusting the strength curve at full contraction and following the upward path of a proper bar trajectory, and a lat pull-down machine that...

    High frequency FBW training and myo-reps

    @fromsalemwithlove Got it. Myo-reps is a time saving technique, not a special results one. Do you want to save time? it's for you. Do you want to get better results? it is not.

    My 1 1/2 year progression

    @dageo The problem isn't inherent to full body workouts, the problem is the only 3 sessions per week part, which just happens to be how most people run fbw, well rather, the reason why they run them in the first place, because the other standard programs require more days. You have a certain...

    My 1 1/2 year progression

    @heavenhome There are so many highlights in this story: Starting lean enough and actually letting his body weight go up (31 lbs, so nice) because muscle isn't actually filled with air. Starting by tracking his intake to get an idea of how nutrition actually works. Moving away from tracking...
