@daughterofaking I wouldn't compare yourself to other people. There are SO many factors like limb lengths, muscle insertions, fiber types, and more sorts of things that we can't see that you're basically always going to be comparing apples to oranges. Just note your own progress and see how...

@davonte20 What's the goal of your training sessions?

@helexzy It's cool that you were able to do 80 reps! But the question would be, "what's your goal with that?"

@raykay This probably isn't actually a very difficult leg exercise. It's more of an upper body one. If you can do a Back Lever, this will be fairly easy to do. I'd probably suggest skipping it, gaining the Back Lever, and then getting this one for free.

@binlid Okay the exercises look pretty solid. But do I have it right that you are doing Pull-Ups, then Lateral Raises alternated with sets of Dips? If so, I would alternate the sets of Pull-Up and Dip with rest in between each and then save all the isolation work for the end. That would work...

@binlid What were you doing in your previous Upper Lower routine? That would help to know how to help. It may be more of a problem with sets & reps or exercises than the split itself. I'm not sure I'd suggest SA/BA. That's a hard split to recover from.

@caringandsharing That's a wise thing to do and I'm happy you're already feeling better! That's very telling in itself!

@caringandsharing You're welcome! I totally understand! Haha but our bodies sometimes don't and they want more recovery, right?😂

@caringandsharing I might suggest instead of having a heavy, medium, light, day, why not drop it to two workouts each week? It might be better for recovery.

@dawn16 Exactly. If anything, I would think it would be the more similar exercise.

@bellaaa Yup that’s more alone the lines of what I like as well! Training for that long is hard in itself. Two hours would be insane haha.

@zondaar39 We can probably find some really strong people who can’t plank for 2 minutes to disprove this.

@lectiodivina Yeah the first thing is making sure the science is sound and often, it is iffy. Low sample sizes and often not the same amounts of volume. And then you have to consider that everyone is different so it’s lke even the best advice is probably completely wrong for anfew peiole, at...

@bonnie1202 I’m pretty sure you can. I don’t think you HAVE to be doing 9 sets a week for progress at the beginning.

@iferexo Oh man it is real and it can totally wreck your gains by making you do more than you should and taking you for a trip aboard the Pain Train! I'm happy it could help you get past that so that you're not vulnerable to it!

@noeljack Thank you! And I don’t think it’s not true. Just maybe sometimes not. I’m not really sure.

@adb Anytime you go to your max, you should probably rest more like 4-5 minutes. And given how often you're training, I'd probably suggest you leave a rep in the tank. Going maximal costs a lot of recovery compared to leaving one rep in the tank.

@iferexo I love your experimental mindset. You basically ignored nearly everything the fitness industry said and tried both extremes! There's a lot that can be learned from experiments like that. Well done! 👏! And thanks for recording it for us!

@bonnie1202 I prefer upper lower WAY more than full body. You don’t have to be in the gym all day but you also get more time to work each part with a wider range of exercises. Your volume is fine. Honestly I don’t think people even need 9 sets in the beginning to make gains. The RR could have...

@noeljack I’d take that with a grain of salt too. If I am thinking about the same study you are thinking, did they match the volume correctly? 10 reps of 100 pounds on a 1 second up and 1 second down is 1000 pounds of total tonnage with 20s of time under tension. That 10 reps of 100 pounds...
