@sinnersavedbyfaith Bad biomechanics for an exercise may cause improper form. That improper form is what causes joint pain.

@christianwriter87 Your issue: you are not eating enough. Your body can only look so big at 73kg. You are at the very bottom end of the healthy weight range for your height. If you want to look bigger and get stronger, your going to have to be ok with putting on a little more mass. Slowly...

@jmcali Anything from 6-30 reps will suffice for hypertrophy if you are taking the sets to a close proximity to failure. Muscle burn is a build up of lactic acid. A burning feeling is not conclusive of muscular stimulus. Feeling joint pain is not normal. Make sure you are performing reps with...

@edgar77 No problem dude. Just remember one thing. Consistency is key! Instill sustainable habits now so that you can keep the weight off. Don’t miss too many gym sessions and hold yourself accountable. It’s ok to have a few rough days. Just hop right back on the wagon. If you stay at it, you’ll...

@edgar77 When people cut, they do not put on a substantial amount of muscle. What normally happens is that they will APPEAR bigger because of the fat loss. More muscle definition can be incredibly deceiving. When you are finished cutting, you have a few options. You could up your calories to...

@nhecu942 531 is a highly respected set of programs created by Jim Wendler. They work 8,6,4,2,1 is simply a set of numbers. That is not a program. The actual program you follow doesn’t matter as much as many think. Staying consistent and progressively overloading over time is all that matters...

@paparazi257 Hey Eric! Long time follower/listener of your content. What’s your opinion on incorporating pure strength work into a hypertrophy program? I know that working in multiple different rep ranges is generally considered better, but what about low rep stuff? Any benefit as far as...

@edgar77 The only time you will ever be able to gain a noticeable amount of muscle while training in a deficit occurs during two circumstances. Either you are a completely new lifter or you have taken a good amount of time off of the gym and you are just coming back. Without getting into too...

@slurpeespops I keep the movements mostly the same. As with any muscle, the key to growing weak points is progressive overload and increasing the stimulus applied. It’s a lot easier to do and track this when your are keeping your movements consistent.

@edgar77 Both your upper and lower 2 days are not there btw. With just being able to view your 1st 2 days, the workouts really don’t look too bad. There are no glaring issues at least. A few things that come to mind: Losing weight while IF is likely not going to lead to much (if any) muscle...

@ange_redrobin This is the exact split I’m running right now and it’s most definitely my favorite split I’ve ever ran. I can get sufficient volume for all muscle groups, good recovery, and that last weak point/arms day has helped to bring up lagging parts.

@sarham41 Abs: S: Machine crunch A: Ab wheel B: Hanging leg raises C: Some type of calisthenics progression like an L-sit or dragon flag D: Strictly compound lifts F: Some 10 minute abs workout you found on YouTube

@badgerstate Dude, you have already taken the most important step. You’ve realized that you need to make a change and you are doing something about it. Stop y talking down on yourself and be proud. You are taking steps to improving your life for not only yourself, but your family. Now onto the...

@jonathanef Volume is a very individual based metric. Some people respond better to higher volume and lower intensity while others respond better two lower volume higher intensity. If you are progressively getting stronger, then you are likely in a good spot. If you are not, it may be worth it...
