@vinod367 Bro I have a hell of a time trying to progressively overload pull ups and there was a time I use to do 15-20 of em at a time. I find it much easier to consistently progressively overload the lat pull down from workout to workout Spinning my wheels on pull ups in hind sight didn't...

@directork Let me know what you think of the specific exercises.

@directork So you can try the seated cable pull overs in one of these vids as an isolation exercise and you can hit the lats through the frontal plane/sagital plane. Some tidbits. Chest support or bracing against something will allow you to engage more motor units.

@aeri20 Do straight sets, let people work in etc...

@auxier587 Well if using the video is anything to go by it must be the flexion rows I guess. But I think for most guys too parallel gets harder due to balance issues as the load goes up. Maybe flexion rows are actually great and light up one's back but I'd rather stick to a chest supported row...

@lovely_krystal86 So I think an overemphasis on full range of motion or partials as has been the fad recently can lead to less gains. If mechanical tension is the primary driver of growth then load is absolutely a part in the equation for mechanical tension. It has to be taken into...

@solokwa He's saying 4 to 6 WORKING SETS per muscle I got a feeling he's taking advice from Paul Carter I'm not here to critizie his source of info but some pros with the somewhat lower sets... It makes it easier to keep track of progressive overload if you're not doing a bunch of phoning it...

@bogdanpnw Legs, Chest Shoulders, Back and Arms... around 4-6 times a week

@alexandria281 Back is huge so I typically think of it as 3 or 4 movements you really can do for it. Just generalities but vertical pulling for lats and teres, horizontal pulling for lower/mid traps rhomboids, shruging movements/rows for upper/mid traps. And than you can adjust your technique...

@lovely_krystal86 Sometimes I get better performance on my 2nd or even 3rd set(leg extensions for example). Now I'm always trying to be well rested between sets... 3 minutes or so. But if my subsequent sets drop off too much and it's like my 3rd or 4th set, I'll call it for that particular...

@maria28 sorta skeptical about anything greater than 3 times a week unless you say it's calves or leaving a lot in the tank

@alexander5106954665 I focus on my best set so for chest that would either be the first or second set leg extensions I get more reps on my 2nd or 3rd set for whatever reason

@bridgette26 I know some bodybuilders that buy liquid pasteurized egg whites and throw it into shakes but yes, the protein powder should be a lot more convenient. Yeah, the beef protein powders I heard is mainly gelatin, while great to digest not really the best for muscle building.

@kaieraai Some factors to consider. Theoretically, hitting calves first whether in your leg workouts or other work outs should allow you to recruit more motor units, bigger weights, mechanical tension which is a bigger signal for growth. This is also true for more stable exercises over less...

@bridgette26 Might have to use a blender

@bridgette26 Try egg white protein. But speaking candidly, if you get enough protein in the rest of your diet from other high quality protein sources it shouldn't matter. But I get it. I used to eat chicken 3-4 meals a day with eggs, cottage cheese/greek yogurt/Skyr 1-2 protein shakes can...

@basabeo Losing 1 Kilo and than concluding from a scan that 60% of that was lean mass is a bit of a reach. There's something called regression to the mean. Plus the fact that humans are 70% water and there easily could be a few pounds differential just based off of water..

@lostandfoundproverbs31 I saw that video. There's only so much extension you can have before you start lengthening the lat again. Try contracting one of your lats as hard as possible with one of your arms. You're humorous maybe at most might go five or 10° behind your back. I just tried it and I...

@lostandfoundproverbs31 doing an upright row like the guy with your dumbells is doing your humerus bone is undergoing primarily abduction which lengthens the lats otherwise dumbell and cable lateral raises would hit the lats There is a touch of humeral extension too. But when you're starting...
