@shows Its hard to say. I think he understands communism in the way it was implemented in the late USSR. Now I can't imagine any communist of today would actually look to the USSR as something one would want to emulate. Now I understand y'all making the don't throw out the baby with the baby...

@shiner222 he had a dedicated channel for it, and its very obviously out of his depth there. It seeps in jokingly in his muscle building content, but its obvious he's a Libertarian; no doubt heavily influenced by his Soviet upbringing. However, that doesn't, IMO; detract from his expertise in...

@remas It is. a diet of whey protein.

@minster01 I'd bed your hormones naturally calmed down and the whey is no longer contributing to it. Its definitely worth it to try stuff like this again later in life as we did change as we get older.

@juanmz28 everyone else explained teh acronym but I will tell you what they are and why they might be something to consider in your training. LLP is when you do partial reps when the muscle is at its most lengthened state. So this would be like the top half of the lat pulldown, or the first...

@dontreallyknow I'm considering switching completely to smith bench and dumbbells for this reason. My bench has completely plateaued while my dumbbell bench increases, and I think its 100% mental after I saw someone get hurt at my gym.

@only1kirk do you have actual evidence of this? or is it based on debunked soy hysteria?

@dontreallyknow I've found this to be the case to as I don't have a spotter and my gym doesn't have safety bars on the bench. I find knowing how to safely bail on a lift makes a huge difference to how much I can lift.

@claudiabrinkmann1566 I absolutely agree. One of the reasons I like him is he will flat out say this is what I believe as of XX Date based on the research available now. And he'll indicate if going a bit past what the data says today because he believes its gonna go this way in the future...

@bridgette26 I have heard that whey actually does have a pretty direct connection to acne in a lot of people. Soy protein is a complete protein that isn't whey. Ignore the soy boy shit.

@ronyrana some people say he's unreliable because he's updated his advice based on new science. People either fault him for updating it at all, or not updating it fast enough, sometimes in the same breath. I've seen it happening around this parts with full rom vs llp. Obviously Dr. Mike build...

@daughteroftheonetrueking Another thing I just realized OP, if your sample meal plan is accurate (which honestly I highly doubt) 46% of your protein is from non animal sources (and not good non animal sources like peas and soy). I think not only are you not eating enough protein, you're not...

@leena2016 preacher curls is a weird choice, since it pretty much by definition doesn't work the muscle at the lengthened position.

@sashacat I am wondering if this lengthened thing may explain why squats seems to be so good.

@maria28 Guys this is not binary. Its not that you won't get any gains if you don't do this. Its how to build muscle AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. This is about eeking out every single damn gain, and maximizing efficiency. Its not a if you don't do all this you won't grow. There is a lot of in between.

@daughteroftheonetrueking mulitvitamins can fill in gaps for sure, and absolutely take the D daily, but for God's sake add some fruits and vegetables to your diet. They won't kill you. Also get your Vitamin D levels tested just to see where you're add. I took 2 of those Costco Ds daily for 6...

@jbreyes777 I have a lot less experience than you, but had this issue last year. Resolved when I started really controlling those eccentrics.

@roasthawg he listed his protein intake on there, and its fairly close to 1 gram per lb of body weight, depending on where it was in his bulk. But I am inclined to think they hasn't been pretty careful with this diet, and that's the primary issue here. That being said I'm having difficulty...

@kpatrick1111 I do this routine too! Though I also made a few changes, based on likely availability of equipment in my gym, and I added some additional ab and glute work on the leg days. I've been happy with this program!

@hubies that upper/lower split includes the 3 barbell lifts.
