    Thoughts on my Training Program and Choice of Exercise

    @luisbuesa I wouldn’t say it’s bad. So long as it keeps you moving and gets you in the gym. It all boils down to preference and what works for you. Hitting your muscles 2x a week is not necessarily better over 1x a week when volume is equated. If yung goal mo is to lessen yung hours mo sa gym...

    Thoughts on my Training Program and Choice of Exercise

    @luisbuesa Overkill imho. If you want to build muscle, unnecessary to separate “strength” day from “hypertrophy” day. Hypertrophy can occur from 5-30 rep range so it doesn’t make sense. Also, if you’re a complete beginner, you don’t need tons of exercises and prioritization. Essentially, lahat...

    Caloric Deficit + WeightLifting and Whey? Will it help?

    @dynasty101 just stick to it, ensure na accurate tracking mo, and observe how you feel, how you look, energy levels, then adjust your calories accordingly. first few weeks fluctuating talaga ang weight kasi madaming factors, suggest ko track it lang every week instead of everyday. also...

    Being fit while having a 8-5 Job

    @thehardertruths You have to find what works for you through trial and error. Find a flexible split din. For me, 3x a week lang ako onsite so on days na wfh and weekend, tinatry ko talaga imaximize yun so about 4x a week at max ako nakakabuhat. Rotation lang ng session kung kailan may time...

    Should I increase weight per set or is it okay to have same weight per set?

    @heyynnie Here’s the thing, every set you do is less stimulating than the set before. Dahil ito sa central fatigue — reduction in motor unit recruitment so the largest fibers sa local muscle area won’t activate the way they first did. So what does this mean? Your first working set will ALWAYS...

    Thoughts on Mike Mentzer’s “Heavy Duty” workout

    @isthaail13 Tbh not a priority for my goals now. I used to do powerlifting training before switching to hypertrophy focused training kaya medyo imbalanced yung upper ko sa lower. And now, I barely hit legs siguro 2-3x a month lang lol medyo hip dominant din ako and long torso relative to my legs...

    Thoughts on Mike Mentzer’s “Heavy Duty” workout

    @isthaail13 Nah I made my own. I used to do PPLPP with 3-4 days of rest in between eg. PPRLRPPRR But I wanted to reduce the volume even more kasi parang palaging pagod (madaming factors ito hindi lang overtraining but that’s the variable I chose to adjust) so I switched to traditional bro split...

    Thoughts on Mike Mentzer’s “Heavy Duty” workout

    @isthaail13 This is the way I’ve been training for almost a year na ata now, I’ve gained the best results so far. Tried high volume, “powerbuilding”, RPE based, etc before but incomparable talaga for me I don’t adhere sa pre-exhaust idea, pero I do feeder sets before my first actual working...
