@gwrichardson Caffeine and a hefty dose of sodium + potassium has been the best for me

@asdtmr12 If it’s not taking away from other aspects of your day (relationships, productivity, work, family, hobbies, etc) then I don’t see a problem.

@annamarinewife Take into account the weekly trend, not individual days. So if you’re average weight of a given week is higher than the previous weeks average, you’re likely in a surplus, if the same then it’s maintenance, if less then it’s a deficit.

@neverbeenalone Get strong as fuck at weighted chin/pull-ups, bent over rows, chest supported rows and hip hinges (RDL, SLDL, deficit deads, good mornings, etc). You’ll have a wide & beefy back if you can get very strong at those movement patterns

@revealedtruths If you’re tracking progression and you’re making rep PRs and/or load PRs in a given rep range, whatever you choose to do will work.

@katy89 getting another rep with help from a spotter isn’t getting another rep. But anyways, the barbell bench press seems to be a particularly hard movement to progress. I find I progress more linearly on movements where my chest gets stretched significantly at the bottom (certain machine...

@johnvladimir he said lean ground beef which is relatively low calorie. Extra lean ground beef is even lower

@dawn16 Mike Israetel that is, don’t want OP to get confused lol

@dawn16 Brilliant video. I love how he carefully picks apart Mentzer rather than just outright shitting on him (which he very well could do)

@chiyanjano here is a good program I made you can run. The main program is 3x a week, but if you scroll down to the bottom there’s a Push/pull modification that’s 4x a week

@faithfulmommy1821 5 sets of good mornings (assuming they’re actually hard sets) would ruin me for a week, especially if i already did 2 hard sets of RDLs. This workout seems completely made up with no thought behind it

@bronsontaur Agreed. Also, personally another reason I like to keep protein high is that I tend to overeat and binge if my diet isnt consistently high in protein and fiber. I’m the opposite of a hard gainer lol

@truthandpeace It means when your body metabolizes energy, it will spare protein/muscle.

@ksimmons4494 If by “super greens” you mean the latest supplement fad, no. I would recommend actual vegetables.

@ksimmons4494 You don’t need even close to that much protein. Take it down to 200g and get a hefty serving of veggies with each meal to increase fiber intake. That should improve your digestion issues greatly. Even if 3500 calories is technically a surplus for you, if your bowel movements are as...

@harley That’s totally fine if high rep compounds work for you. I was just saying that it may not work for everyone depending on many factors

@harley If a high rep set of squats or deadlifts tires the lifter out and doesn’t allow the target musculature to be the limiting factor, then high reps aren’t gonna be great for that specific lift for that specific individual.

@lovinghusbandforever When did I say I was a high volume advocate? Do you just assume everyone who criticizes HIT automatically does high volume?

@bronsontaur Low to moderate protein diets are probably fine given you’re in a calorie surplus since carbs and fats are protein sparing. However, try going low protein in a deficit, I bet you’d lost muscle decently faster than if you kept protein high

@jazzper If you’re confident you can accurately gauge RIR then it’s a great program. If not, stick to double progression.
