    What’s your double progression like?

    @kaiisbae I feel that! Have you ever heard of PAP (post activation potentiation)? Where the last warm-up set actually a little above your working weight for 1-3 reps? Doesn't fix that for everything, but some movements it really helps you feel in the groove a bit faster. Of course, your mileage...

    What’s your double progression like?

    @backnforth First set first! The first set is surly going to be the most productive (I.e. before you've introduced any local fatigue) therefore driving those sets up first, theoretically should drive the most adaptation. Although, this is just my way of thinking about it. Maybe someone has...

    Is there a 'formula' to help determine the appropriate rep range to use from the 5-30 range for a specific exercise?

    Training like mike mentzer

    @lovinghusbandforever Look at any volume or frequency meta analysis from the last 10 years. In general, if you take what Mike says, dial back the intensity a little (10%?) double or triple the volume & frequency. That's about inline with what the science reports these days.

    Training like mike mentzer

    @lonilsny Mentzer has been proven wrong over and over in modern sports science. Please, for the love of God, leave his methods behind.

    Rear delt flyes needed for rear delts or pulls and rows enough?

    @setst777 Unless you're getting on stage anytime soon, I'd suggest to trying to remove the rear delt iso for a 3-6 months, take before and after pics in similar lighting, similar vicinity to similar training and see what you think. Everyone is a bit different, and while some might get enough...

    @jayaraj If the goal isn't to freeweight squat, then freeweight squatting shouldn't be the goal!

    What is your favorite MAG grip for lat pulldown?

    @blondie977 Not using any Mag grips, but the medium and/or close supernate look like they'll feel nice

    Double progression vs set reps

    @backnforth Technically, double progression just means you pick 2 variables, and one must reach a threshold before the other can progress. Instead of this being reps and weight, you could pick a tightish rep range, say 10-12 and keep that static to allow for reasonable day to day fluctuations...

    overtraining impacting results

    @earnest1018 You're hitting numbers some people spent their whole "lifting career" to get to. There's nothing to worry about. As others say, you've got to the point now where progress will come slower. If you're overtraining, you'll feel like you have been hit by a truck and won't even want to...

    None of my bulks (lean or dirty) ever seem to result in any muscle gain, and I honestly really don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point

    @daughteroftheonetrueking With that much work, my first guess would be you're (probably unintentionally) sandbagging your workouts. I've worked out with people who prior have told me "I train heavy and go to failure on every set" and they almost never do. They tend to give up when they think...
