@vinod367 My back is pretty developed, so I’m opting for supinated on one back exercise. My arms could use more development so I’m adding that in. Plus, it’s fun. And I think that element is underrated by lifters. You’ll try harder on a movement you enjoy. But I’d prioritize back (pronated grip)...

@awoods88 My rule is that it’s fine to offset calories BEFORE an event. But trying to catch up after is a lost cause. You have something to look forward to in the first case and a real moment you can alleviate the hunger. But going from eating a ton of food to cutting below normal diet numbers...

@kate930 The only advice most people on this sub need: 1. Train hard. 2. Eat enough food. There’s loads of nuance, but most people are messing up one of these.

@indybap When I do hack squats, I’ve literally been told people thought every one of my last four reps would be my last rep—and I still probably had 2 reps in the tank!

@mecajunboy Agree with probably too little intensity. But I do 24 sets on upper body days with plenty of intensity and get close to or to failure on at least a handful of sets. It’s totally doable, just brutal. You do acclimate eventually. I’m an inch and a half taller than him and 40 lbs...
