@jayaraj IMO yes, you're missing out if you don't squat. You don't have to do the squat in every training bloc, but in general it's good to have some variant of the squat (it can be front squat, high bar, low bar, etc.) in your training for most of the year. It provides a unique challenge to the...

@sezzalovesmj Kettlebell Sport events are 10 minutes of continuous exercise. Meanwhile, a powerlift or an Olympic lift takes a couple seconds to finish at maximum. For comparison, the 3k (3,000 meter) run and the 2 mile run (about 3,2000 meters) both take under 10 minutes (for elite-level...

@cinnamoroll Mike Mentzer's approach is good for: 1) People who need to deload. But in that case you'd be better off just deloading. 2) People who don't really lift and so don't need much volume to grow.

@ray0174 Unfortunately, this is standard for fitness influencers. Too many of them try too hard to differentiate themselves from the crowd and provide new content for your followers. This results in crap like what Jeff Nippard has been putting out lately, with different seemingly "must do"...

@waratah If I go that high with lateral raises, my shoulders start clicking. I prefer going up to about 75% of that and then go back down.

@setst777 Glad to help!

@needheaven Bulk in the fall/winter, cut in the spring/summer, do a bit of maintenance in late summer/early fall (mostly when I'm on vacation).

@setst777 I think I linked it in the comment, the attachment is low and you bring your hands up really high, like you normally do in a face pull. It should look similar to an upright row, but with a slight modification since the cable stack is in front of you and since you'll be bringing your...

@setst777 For some people it's enough. For others it isn't. Maybe take a look at your body and ask yourself: are my rear delts large enough? Or is there something else you'd like to work on first? If overall mass is something you want, and rear delts specifically aren't something you need to...

@solokwa In the post he said do 4-6 working sets per muscle, not 4-6 exercises.

@sarham41 I'm not going to write such an extensive tier-list. Realistically speaking, a lot of exercises could make it into the lower tiers. But I can tell you my bests for each muscle group. Quads: high-bar squats, leg presses, hack squats (leg extensions are overrated IMO) Calves: calf...

@mamared1 If you want to lose weight in a healthy way, you should be aiming for 1-2lbs per week, depending on your weight and bodyfat percentage. So for you, I'd say you could get down to 210lbs by the end of May, which realistically probably won't make much of a visual difference. If you want...

@setst777 Two things that worked for me: (1) the antagonistic split, a.k.a. the Arnold split (chest+back, delts+arms, legs), and (2) doing an upper-lower split, where I would superset biceps and triceps exercises with my legs exercises. So yeah, I literally did arms six days per week, meaning...

@cheung Yeah he does... he says most muscle groups should be hit between 2 and 3 times each week. That would indicate that you either do an upper-lower split, or a modified split. For example, an Arnold (antagonistic) split or an upper-lower-arms, where your arms/delts are theoretically hit...

@americandeist Buy: beans, chicken, eggs, rice, potatoes, frozen veggies. Learn how to cook with these things.

@lamb007 Yeah, start counting your calories, figure out your maintenance calories, and go into a caloric deficit.
