@cybernetic You’re 25/26 year old male who’s been lifting for 8 years and your bench is 22kg ?

@jgeral0172 You don’t need to be super obsessive or neurotic about any aspects of bodybuilding , I could probably even say life in general.

@kpmasonry In my opinion the scans are cool to do at the start/end of a bulk/cut because who doesn’t love numbers and data! But I think theyare inaccurate and would never use the information to make adjustments to a program. I would just do things how you’ve been doing them for the best baseline.

@kpmasonry Yeah a DEXA, article doesn’t state that they used it. but that’s my theory.

@distantthoughts Enough to change the weight, take a drink and change the song

@kpmasonry In my opinion no not possible. I would assume they are using “muscle gain” instead of lean mass. You could start taking creatine, drinking a lot of water with never have gone to the gym and a scan will show an increase in lean mass.

@basabeo I personally would not use the scans as a means to monitor process. Your level of hydration is enough to alter the results.

@tp243 I agree with the premise of those muscles recovery faster but I think it’s hard to prove also with the loads being very different! If you compare someone squatting 3 plates to doing the 20lb dumbells for later raises the workload is far different. If the work was the same I would suspect...

@petr0s You need to talk more with your coach and see the game plan. Sometimes it isn't a linear process like you stated. I've prepped for shows with high days/low days. I like to reduce the cals heavily, to be "show ready" 3-4 weeks out, then start increasing cals into the show. You are...

@maygrace You would have to look at the program as a whole to judge what is before and after that day. If I want to isolate or focus my quad I would say you can’t get more of an isolation than an extension.

@dawn16 The only sane comment on this post.

@jonathanef If you are able to apply concepts of progressive overload and recover for the next workout then I would say it isn’t too much.
