@robertven I think one could cover those micronutrient needs with supplements

@paparazi257 IIFYM - If it fits your macros How much of a health risk is it when 50% of the daily calories comes from home cooked organic stuff and the other 50% are Haribo or other gummy sweets?

@fender75 Look at that picture. This is a 3 year transformation. Now look again at the picture. 3 years.

@fdb DB press is less stable than barbell. To control the weight in an instabile exercise the antagonist muscles need to work too. That acts as additional resistance for the muscles. That's why you can press more in the Smith machine than barbell and less with dumbells that the barbell. If...

@jimv Do you have a landmine press corner? You could perform belted squats.

@leena2016 Yes often, feels great in the lats but i lean back all the time not just as I pull.

@dawn16 Usual suspects: Sleep, stress, nutrition, soreness, just one bad day If it's none of the above its probably: Overtraining

@sarange If you have your personal MRV, MV and MEV then it applies to you. The numbers he provides are general average for intermediate lifters. Without adjusting them to your needs they are worthless.

@jcreigns Pain free movement and building up from there is the only way in the long term and in the short you need to rest, cool and heal. And make sure to fix any issues that caused it.

@marisela Agreed except for the hammies part

@jinxy Yes absolutely, and it's sad how loud the people are who read the 5x5 book. At the start it states something like barbell is best because...crickets... ehm they are best. Also we have some studies showing how the leg press is better since years but the barbell dogma is too loud online.

@davidcapp Even those with high frequency have rest days.

@christian2018 The studies look at 8 - 12 weeks, that's hogwash

@embracer In your example she would do triceps with 6 lbs and reach "failure" that isn't very taxing.

@embracer The woman can't even get close to real failure, doesn't have that ability.

@embracer So if 2 ppl do a hard set of squats to failure who is going to be more out of breath and who can do another set of similar performance faster - a small beginner woman or a huge juicy strong bodybuilder?

@nadeen I disagree. There is much more than just local fatigue.

@anshu I really wonder WHO his trainer is... just like the Arnold press has been done 30 years before he started training.

@jamierite74 Matthias Steiner (German olympia lifter) was 150 kg. Later lost that weight and except for chest looked amazing. At that weight you surely can hold onto more muscle and then afterwards you probably can regain a fraction of it. But he doesn't look that amazing especially if you...
