@jennywilliam Never heard of him, I'll definitely give it a watch!

@boyboy999 I think this is it, every source says something different on how hard a certain RPE should be. Yeah I agree, there's no perfect program, but I think higher intensity is something that would definitely benefit me seeing everyone's responses

@weepingwillow422 Yeah I wasn't planning on going full Yates mode and have a buddy get me 3 forced reps every set, that seems way too intense. I should probably just start going really hard on isolations and machines with proper form to get a feel for what failure really is, like you suggested

@annamarinewife Your first 2/3 weeks of losing weight consist of a lot of water weight. The weight you're dropping after that is the weight you're actually trying to lose. Next to that, be careful with the deficit like some other commenters have said. However, theoretically you will come to a...

@dolphinsdream Very interesting, thanks! Seeing how everyone responds and gives advice I think I've been overestimating my effort especially on isolations, which might explain my strength on compounds but lagging physique.

@mella That's one of the reasons I find myself changing programs often, might be worthwhile to give it my own twist like you suggested.

@j0ky With 3-5 per week you exclude warm ups I assume right? How many days per week do you end up training?

@dod2017 Yeah GVS is a fucking beast man, insane physique and recovery, I just recently discovered him. I think I know a bit better what way to go now, thanks!

@hkmhuik Sounds challenging, I’ll definitely look into it, thanks!

@hkmhuik Never tried GVT before. What was your experience on it? Starting a new program and immediately starting a bulk when i get back from vacation next week and I was thinking about giving it a go.

@hkmhuik For me sumo deadlifts made a huge difference!

@kaity Lifting methods and schools of thought can be very dogmatic sometimes. People often preach a way of working out like it's the single best program for everyone and get offended when you say otherwise, even though there are a lot of different ways to train that work for different people.

Hi everyone, For a bit of context, I’m not new to training: Currently 21y/o 1.83m 88kg with a couple years of proper lifting under my belt, I’m not a huge guy by any means but I’d say I look like I lift. I’ve often fallen into the trap most intermediates fall which is extreme program...

@scottpippen Not an expert on this field at all but afaik around 500 ng/dl is not necessarily low or anything

@worship4him Congrats! That's great progress!

@worship4him I haven't tried Russwole's programs but I do know of him, afaik all his programs are paid, it's not necessary to follow a paid program. A website I used in the past with a lot of programs is liftvault. The powerlifting subreddit also has good recommendations. To speak of my...

@worship4him Switch to proper progression. Look into more powerlifting oriented programs if bench strength is what you're into. Doesn't mean you have to follow the whole program, but read up on bench progression and incorporate it into your current program. Next to that, bodyweight is an...

@stickywicket Never thought of doing shrugs with a trap bar, sounds really good and will check it out for sure. Thanks!
