@arrows At the end of the day, we want more mechanical tension on a muscle, not simply more reps. If you keep plateauing on the same exercise time and again, it may be that you’re “progressing” too fast on that exercise. It’s too easy to make micro adjustments in form over time to get more...

@arrows Are you stagnating on all lifts or just some lifts? When you do stagnate, how long are you stagnating for? Are you “checking your boxes”?

@dbirdez I have been doing PPL for years now. The set up hasn’t changed at all. What does get changed is the exercises and rep ranges. I change exercises only when I’ve stalled for over a month despite checking all my boxes and doing everything right. I just change the variation — the movements...

@nazerbruhiljc See above reply :)

@pablo2210 I do 3 days on / 1 day off, and repeat. Some weeks it’s 6, most weeks it’s 5.

@mariaisabella Not necessarily. Start at low-moderate and focus on making progress. If things stall, you can slowly increase volume. Good luck champ

@pablo2210 It’s an individualized variation of the very standard PPL. You can find a great template on Built with Science. https://builtwithscience.com/fitness-tips/push-pull-legs-routine/ The exercise variations I perform are a bit different, but the set up is pretty much the same — with the...

@mariaisabella One squat movement (doesn’t need to be a barbell squat, could be a smith or hack squat or leg press) one hip hinge movement (RDL, SLDL, Good morning) One leg curl, one leg extension, and one calf press. … and you’re good

@waka PPL

@mariaisabella Do your future self a favor and give legs the attention they deserve — at least a day dedicated to them. A PPLU would keep your upper body the focus of your training, and mitigate imbalances.

@honoringintimates Exactly. A lot of this stuff is intuitive. People inherently know this. But there’s not enough emphasis on nailing the basics in the field because it’s not as catchy.

@cubits 1987 gang! I totally agree. What are some tracks that are heavily on rotation atm?

I’m 35 years old, and after 7 years of weight training, I can say that I made more gains the past year than I did the previous four. The only time I saw gains like this were my first year or two, and I can absolutely attribute this progress to doing the following: The first key is that I...
