    “Renaissance periodization has jumped the shark” - Alex Bromley. Any thoughts on this video?

    @gracious65 There are many problems with all these studies that he uses. They haven’t proven anything. Don’t be so naive to believe anyone who doesn’t believe this con man doesn’t believe in science. Some people just have higher standards than Carter has when it comes to proof. Carter isn’t an...

    I don’t train til failure, but I’m always fatigued and extremely sore

    @jimkbeau Don’t blindly follow any program. You shouldn’t be sore and fatigued all the time. I’m guessing it’s a six days a week program? You probably would be better reducing the days you train.

    @selahgirl It clearly is too much for him right now though. He shouldnt be sore and fatigued all the time.

    “Renaissance periodization has jumped the shark” - Alex Bromley. Any thoughts on this video?

    @tom34 I’ve not watched any of their stuff, but this happens with all the fitness YouTube channels. Quality goes down as they have to keep producing content and there’s only so much good content anyone can offer.They all go downhill eventually. I’m not sure why people pay so much attention to...

    Anyone done PPL once a week with success?

    @thebelovedofgod There isn’t a standard frequency that you should aim for. Personally I find around 1.5 times a week best.

    Haven’t missed the gym since Christmas. Is it necessary to have rest days if I’m doing PPL?

    @alchemist_jay Just try both for six weeks and see what you prefer. If doing PPL three times a week I personally feel I need to do a big compounds. Maybe it’s mental, but if I’m only training legs once a week and limiting the volume I’m doing, I want to squat heavy and then do a bunch of...

    Haven’t missed the gym since Christmas. Is it necessary to have rest days if I’m doing PPL?

    @alchemist_jay Yes. It used to be a popular way to train. It’s how I’m training now and training is going very well.

    Made absolutely no progress in the past year when I had pretty much everything dialed in, starting to lose motivation..

    @wwjosh19 Care to explain what you mean? The entire point of bulking and cutting is to end up bigger when at the same level of body fat when you eventually cut. You won’t see any progress if before and after pics if you’re the same weight and leanness. This should be obvious. Posting ‘after’...

    @wmsgil I was going by your before and after pic. In the two pics a year apart you’re the same weight. Of course you look the same considering you’re about as lean in each of them. Why don’t you post pics when you’ve completed your bulk so there will hopefully be noticeable change?

    @wmsgil What progress did you expect to see while staying the pretty much the same bodyweight when you were pretty lean in the before pic?

    @rogerstees Can you point me to the recommend cardio level that this will make me reach?

    “Renaissance periodization has jumped the shark” - Alex Bromley. Any thoughts on this video?

    @rogerstees Even doing high rep squats and deadlifts aren’t going to keep my heart rate high for long enough to be good enough cardio for heart health. Definitely not if I actually want to be in decent shape!

    New "RIR 1-2 vs RIR 0" Study - Similar gains

    Just to go in to more detail for the people who downvoted me. A big problem in this industry is people jumping on every single study and not looking at the details of the study. This would need to be done for longer and much more people in the study for this to be of any worth. Do any of you...

    New "RIR 1-2 vs RIR 0" Study - Similar gains

    @unshakeablefaith Not really. It doesn’t mean anything which is the same as no study. People need to have higher standards and to stop reading so much into bad, limited or tiny studies. This shouldn’t influence how anyone trains or their opinions on training at all..

    New "RIR 1-2 vs RIR 0" Study - Similar gains

    @livingme7 It’s an 8 week study with 18 people in it. The results mean very little.

    What's your daily schedule look like?

    @prayersword Do it whenever you can. The time you train doesn’t matter

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @constantine1946 I just have to be careful if I have a niggle in my back or knees. If it doesn’t feel right in my warm up sets I won’t hesitate to leave it out for a day. It’s not worth the risk just for one session.

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @constantine1946 Keep in mind the vast majority of people don’t have even passable form on any free weight exercise and as a result they don’t achieve much with and then injure themselves. I’m 41 and I’ve only recently started squatting again, and gone up to 230kg and never hurt myself. I’ve...
