    I’m 17 y/o and have been in CrossFit for about 5 months and i want to compete

    @maizeemay Stop doing CrossFit classes and build a huge squat while doing monostructural work to build work capacity

    Haven’t missed the gym since Christmas. Is it necessary to have rest days if I’m doing PPL?

    @paigek91 Rest days are preventative medicine. By the time you realise you need them you are too fatigued and training starts to suck

    7 months into lifting, feeling like I'm not doing good enough.

    @tofixtorepair11 Amount of calories is the most important thing by a long way. Protein requirements aren't nearly as high as most people think.

    I achieved the pistol squat on my left leg after 0.5 years of training!

    @omnitude I found just doing pistols as deep as I could and gradually increasing the ROM worked better than anything else. I tried voodoo flossing and every other mobility aid but none of them seemed to work for me.

    Stalling on lifts (outside first one of the workout) - advice needed

    @orlandodoncarlossalina Bar speed is a good way of measuring RIR if you struggle to gauge it otherwise

    Stalling on lifts (outside first one of the workout) - advice needed

    @orlandodoncarlossalina All the AMRAP sets seems like a good way of building tons of fatigue for marginal gains. I would suggest a deload and back off the 0 RIR work especially for the compound lifts

    Stuck in the 230s for bench press

    @worship4him Linear progression only works for so long in terms of strength gains and you need to periodise your training

    Had insane growth then suddenly no growth, what gives?

    @hteezy I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. The answer to your original question is twofold 1) adaptive resistance is a thing so what used to work won't work indefinitely 2) You are doing a program that is essentially a powerlifting program and these programs are not designed with arm...

    A storm in a teacup

    @kate930 Jim Wendler who is obviously not a bodybuilder but is strong AF calls it majoring in the minors. People focus way too much on stuff that doesn't matter and ignore the important stuff like just work hard

    Had insane growth then suddenly no growth, what gives?

    @napoleon111 Also if someone has great physical genes their arms likely don't stop growing after 6 months of training. Or maybe I'm just jealous because it took me about 4 years to bench 130kg

    Had insane growth then suddenly no growth, what gives?

    @napoleon111 I don't doubt it is possible but it is much less likely than people making shit up on the internet. Especially given his attitude in his responses here.

    Had insane growth then suddenly no growth, what gives?

    @mybridges No chance someone has a 130kg bench press after 6 months of training. Has to be a troll

    Good exercises to train legs to failure with barbells and dumbbells only?

    @kellyy08 Good point. I hadn't thought about that.

    Good exercises to train legs to failure with barbells and dumbbells only?

    @mariajo I know its an unpopular opinion on this sub but you can safely fail a set of squats and it is a skill most serious lifters should learn

    overtraining impacting results

    @clertole Guessing his squat has about 5 inches of total ROM People who can legit squat 570 aren't training to failure every session like OP claims

    overtraining impacting results

    @itsjoseph I've seen plenty of people "squat" 570 in the gym but never seen anyone even get close to parallel doing it

    Is A-B required for PPL?

    @gr3mlin I'd be more worried about adaptive resistance than injuries

    The MYTH of higher frequency for 'smaller' muscles b/c they recover faster?

    @vsw874 My experience suggests it is not a myth. Obviously n=1 but my side delts never feel underecovered regardless of amount of volume but quads frequently feel like they need extended recovery times
