@jabba1495 You're 17 and doing fine... More isn't always better...

@ladydenise226 Jesus, that should be marked NSFW... My eyes... Your arms have grown a bit, but maybe you're going nowhere near failure..?

@bobgunn You're 18, so you can get away with more than a 40 year-old. But you'd make better progress with a rest day or two in between.

@ladydenise226 This has been posted twice in the same sub. You can see the comments are different... biun9i vs biun9l in URL

@alicejones Blah. Discussion, socialising and debate is owned by giant corporate monopolies, and you want to kowtow. Maybe YOU should be more brave and not lazily justify private tyranny.

@alicejones Oh, get lost. What a brainless answer one can spout in response to anything evil a company does. You are aware that large companies have undue influence over the conditions of people's lives... aren't you..? Do you read? "Nestle covered up the harm their babyfood did to babies--for...

@learner10 They want CONTROL.

@yahleel Highly doubt it matters beyond preference. I like 1. best - progressions & regressions. If one set has your tank empty, one set is probably enough, anyway!

@allyssandra It's the same exact movement of the upper arm. I'm not a beginner at this stuff; I understand the things you're explaining, but I don't think you're right about the last sentence in your second paragraph there. The animation shows that the lat can bring the upper arm behind the...

@allyssandra Doesn't look it it?

@mstreet Nope... But you are definitely a rude meathead.

@mstreet [facepalm] I have already-alluded-to reasons for asking. I have been doing other 'proper' lat exercises for 100 years. Thank you for your contribution. /s

@lucaannibale You've been dropping weight like crazy the entire time you've been strength training? With weight-loss like that, you've done well even to remain at the same level of strength, trust me. Some are saying you need to eat a lot to bulk. Well, I don't know. You're at 20% - not very...

@sbrodhagen So Anatomy Lab's wrong?

@sbrodhagen

@vloggle EDIT: P.S. I'm not a beginner and have had nooo problem activating my lats or understanding the basics of their function & common exercises, so this isn't the issue here.

@helexzy Too much for what? To be able to function afterwards? Apparently! For hypertrophy? Probably, yeah! For cultivating incredible endurance in the bodyweight squat? No! :-)

Imagine I stand upright with a dumbbell in a hammer grip. I lift the dumbbell vertically while keeping my elbow tucked--NOT winged out as if I'm doing a typical upright row for side delts. So my upper arm, beginning parallel with my torso, is extending back behind the line of my torso. This...

@123vicky Yes! :-)

@123vicky With such slow reps, I don't see how anyone can argue that your low rep-count matters. It would seem like magical thinking, that there is something special about 'a rep'. If you were battering these reps out one-per-second, then yeah, I would say it's suboptimal.
