@laveencw More likely GI distress

@dollydot Late reply, I know Because as long as you hit your daily protein requirements, it doesn't really matter all that much. Shakes just give an easy way to ingest more whey than you may otherwise. Very strict protein timing was debunked by the very researchers you're throwing shade on...

@alexander5106954665 Many paths to Rome. You can do straight sets without changing weight across sets, or you can change them. If you don't change the weight, the reps will drop but the difference for muscle gain will be negligible (theoretically dropping weight set-to-set will be marginally...

@raleigh36girl COST Gives a big chunk of the population uncomfortable stomach problems. Money (for those who haven't bought it in a while, the price jumped up—still not crazy expensive or anything). Small small risk of having heavy metals in it which may not be excessive on its own, but...

@dollydot Strong claim. Evidence?

@kalwa In terms of the RP's volume landmarks because they're useful terms: Not if you're doing MV, MEV or low MAV. High MAV yoou should eventually reach the point where you have to deload, and MRV you hit it very quickly. Similarly, if you have programming like triple progression (progress...

@kalwa More than sufficient if it's true failure. I think doing some very high rep giant sets to tell for sure what failure feels like is a good idea. When you factor in fewer required deloads, even if it's submaximal for you individually, the difference will be quite a bit smaller than you're...

@chaseisme Homo milk. About 10 inches tall.

@ruths I'd take another 0.5-1 week, then ease into this with 2 sets, then 3 sets then 4 sets. 6 weekly sets will grow even some advanced lifters—slowly, but steadily and with simpler training (e.g. no deloads). 8 sets you're in pretty safe territory to make gains—not maximal, but near enough...

@katherine317 0.82g is the double 95% confidence level found in most studies https://mennohenselmans.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-intake-for-bodybuilders/

@erb Solid reasoning. The average beginner lifter isn't a lifter at all after 6 months. They can also spend like 2 hours collectively throughout the week distributed any which way and make like 99% of the gains of 2x that, 95% the gains of 4x that. With that in mind, I agree that 2-4x a week...

@decibyte People who get BBL not only have the surgery, but also Photoshop the hell out of everything they're in. Video is done with specific lighting, from specific angles and with specific lenses and even then can be further touched up depending on the shot and budget. On top of that, a lot of...

@halpme The latter - Greg is great.

@pinetowntree Cable crunches if one isn't available

@ebenam His treatment and opinions of women/the homeless are not great. He's bad enough that Greg Nuckols openly called him a piece of shit. Greg Nuckols.

@rochendil Honestly, a quick cut and slow bulk is the way I believe most folks should go. I think spending more time in positive energy balance means you're going to need less will power to work out, and will get in more total volume over time. High protein does have a muscle sparing effect. So...

@anselm77 Full disclosure: he's also a terrible person. Doesn't make the advice poor... though, a lot of his conclusions from EMG research are wayyy too strong and you really need to follow the trail of where his claims stem from and basically write them off if they're EEG-related outside "some...

@sunflower39 Higher frequencies results in a measurable difference in the short term. This effect is probably over-emphasized in the longer term: muscle growth is logarithmic i.e. the more muscle you have, the harder it is to put on more muscle. That means that if you're slightly less efficient...
