    What is more impressive? 225 bench x 8 or 315 squat x 8?

    @oasisfield What the hell. My legs are my strong point so this is shocking to read lol. My bench is 55kg 1RM But squat is 90kg 1RM 💀

    Constantly Yawning during the workouts

    @ertwnc I just don't like the idea of altering my own sleep homeostasis, everyone reacts differently. (Genetics) 5+ years of research vs millions of years of evolution. Quite a stretch but yea I guess most people have 0 trouble with it. Its just an anecdote, call it nocebo if you wish. It...

    What 'things' do you do that aren't 'supported' by research but you still do and have seen results from?

    @jamesgregory786 I'm not sure about if its supported by results or not. But I do cluster sets. Say I am doing 30Lbs+30Lbs bicep curls. I did 7 reps, then took 20 seconds of intra set rest, and did 8 more. Rather than doing just 7 and finishing the set I did 8 more, which increases total...

    Constantly Yawning during the workouts

    @gabechosen15 Creatine can cause sleep issues. It changes sleep architecture in mice. Take that info as you may. -Used Creatine Mono for 2 years on and off and every time I quit my sleep improved drastically.

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @jess1 I do the same! I think that's what load management is. I'm glad to hear i'm on the right path :)

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @jess1 Thanks! I appreciate the info!! I'm very careful with load management this time round after all my mistakes so far and yea I couldn't imagine how, if I go up slowly(and the weak links don't fall behind), and I don't push 1-3 Rep maxes, I could do any permanent damage. My spinal...

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @confusedgirl98 I think it has a lot of reasons to click. As the other commenter said sometimes its harmless. I plan on studying rehabilitation in the upcoming years(PT/Kinesiology) but for now I couldn't help you even if I wanted to in like a -> I got you bro. But-> My guess is improper...

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @junior59 That's nice to hear. I suppose sometimes its just crepitus. I heard that same advice and ignoring the clicking gave me a grade 1 ACL tear during a squat. In my case it wasn't but yea maybe I was just the outlier here and not in a good way.

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @leitmotif Great! I love DLs too. Initially as a newbie I had no idea how exactly to brace your core. Shameful to admit this but only now after 2 years have I figured it all out. I think I got tailbone issues/disc stuff with hip thrusts initially.

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @doks Alright I suppose as the other commenter said I may be overthinking. I'm gonna stick to my program, some basic prehab and strength goals. Thanks.

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @doks Fair enough. Or make adjustments that let you still perform them. I suppose it will take me a few years of trial and error to figure out what that looks like for me. Thanks.

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @asperd I just do unilateral db shoulder press for some form work occasionally but I never found them nice either. The setup in and of itself is awkward too. But my guess is people who do that have weak links in their rotator cuffs(Specifcally the subscapularis/teres minor, i'm not 100% sure)

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @junior59 Oh okay gotcha. I love BB movements, there's just some primal feeling lifting a huge rod lol. I appreciate you helping me out, that makes sense. Yep 0 injuries is not practical I get that. I'm gonna focus on those key things you mentioned. I'm not serious either but now that my...

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    @junior59 No offence taken, I wanted to share some things, I think I may have deterred a bit from the theme of the subreddit. Its more of a "I'm curious" post? I'm getting serious about bodybuilding too, after a long stint of rehabilitation(mostly bad imbalances that made their way to my...

    Question about Compounds and specifically barbell movements

    I was bored and scrolling these old posts. Am I right to assume most of these people injured themselves at near 1RPMs? Doing 0-1 RIRs? Or the weights were objectively high weights? Because for reference, I feel like you can't cause injuries like that if you're being careful about...
