@christinaf He didn’t actually. He was responding to a study that showed 50 sets for a single muscle group did yield better hypertrophy, but also mentioned that in this study that was the only muscle the participate training. Dr.Mike at RP further expanded on this, making sure to mention that...

@annamarinewife I’m a similar size to you, (5’8 sitting at around 185lbs) and 1800 cals a day is a pretty intense deficit for me that usually results in me losing about 2lbs a week, which is the most I like to lose. Even on that, I’ll usually allow myself a cheat day or two where I’ll eat 2400...

@wmsgil Good point. Everyone has different body types, and I’ve always been more on the short and stocky side. If we were in LOTR, I’d be a dwarf and you’d be an elf haha. That said, I think you’re still on a pretty mild bulk. I’m not saying to go back to full dirty bulk, but maybe look at...

I wanted to pick people’s brain’s on what they do when they have tendon pain, specifically the bicep tendon. I’ve been getting a nagging pain in my right bicep tendon over the past 2-3 weeks that’s been slowly getting worse. I like to program a lot of pull ups into my upper body work, and I’ve...

@themartinfamily Pre workouts tend to have caffeine in them which can contribute to dehydration, so I would stick to sports drinks.
