@emiles97 Conjugate?

@thestvn lol totally get you. I never saw myself in those "we can rep out higher intensity" kind of statements. Then I got more into training cardio and suddenly gained this supposedly feminine superpower!

@patsy_cline_fan Huge thing you need to know for context: almost everything he points out is true of the general population of men/women who show up to a gym, not of inherent differences between male and female bodies. For example, women can often do more reps at a higher % of 1RM. A big...

@kimx If you never go to true failure, there's no way to know if you're actually close to it. You could have 2 reps in the tank or 20. How would you tell? In any case, there's not really a connection between failure and injury, so this isn't necessary.

@babychristian10 This is way more than most trainers will charge. If you think he's worth it, that's your call. But you can get the same services elsewhere for a lot less.

@goldladyslipper Nah, it's individual. There are men who do best with a wide stance and women (like myself) who need to be super narrow. Everybody should experiment to figure out what works best for them.

@nathan2018 I love when you do these posts!

@ttcmacro I'm in my 40s and at my gym we have a group of masters (ie 40+) olympic weightlifters. Some have been lifting since they were younger, some started as masters. We all squat. Makes us stronger. We all do pulls/deadlifts too. Would be silly to skip them. There are other ways to...

@protorayish No, it's not the same kind of work. I would do something like, swap the split squats for one of your hamstring exercises so that you have squats one leg day and split squats another.

@newbeginning1996 My warmup is there to prepare me for the workout. So, it depends! Yes, it definitely changes depending on what lifts I'll do that day. For, say, deadlifts, I don't do anything specific. If I'll be squatting, I might do a little bit of stuff to warm up my hips. If I'll be doing...

@thornbreaker If you like follow-along yoga videos, there are a bunch of good channels on YouTube. Here are some of the ones I see recommended (I've done a few of Adriene's but otherwise can't personally vouch for these) Yoga with Adriene Yoga with Kassandra Sean Vigue Breathe and Flow

@protorayish Things that make DOMS more likely: working that muscle 1x/week or less (so...a once-a-week quad day) high reps new/different exercises not enough protein not enough total calories If some of this looks familiar, consider tweaking those factors. Probably the first thing I'd change...

@romans5to8 What kind of exercise were you doing back when you felt energized? How does that compare to your routine now? What were you doing outside the gym during that time? How does that compare to what you do now? Like, were you a runner and now you only lift? Were you walking all around...

@taylors Totally fine.

@brokenjohninchrist You can pile on the accessories later! Start with just the basics and add extras over time. You also don't have to do all of your favorite accessories at once. Choose your accessories for this month, or even this 2-week period, and then swap them out for others. For...

@skilletboy Check out the sticky at the top of r/gainit - they're doing a program party that consists of three different programs that are high volume and notoriously good at making you want to eat. They are: 5/3/1 BBB Beefcake 5/3/1 Building the Monolith Deep Water Beginner Deep Water...

@brokenjohninchrist If you aren't able to go heavy on your barbell squats yet, I wouldn't count them as a main lift. Do them first in the workout, call them technique practice (but still go as heavy as your form allows), and then do leg press or whatever as your T1 squat.

@nikkimarie That's amazing. Use the opportunity!

@teofan They are percentages of total calories. Fat has more calories per gram. So you ate about 107 calories' worth of fat, about 105 calories of carbs, and about 72 calories of protein, for 284 calories total. 107/284 is 37%. Fat has 9 calories per gram, while protein and carbs have 4...

@pawel It is, and you don't seem to have a good understanding of it.
