    I only want big arms. Not literally, I still am working out other muscle groups, but I want the biggest bulkiest arms. How do I get them?

    @lizlugo51 Do more volume and do tricep stuff overhead to get more long head. Do most your stuff in the 10-20 rep range and try myorep matching. Allows you to get more sets in less time.

    Made absolutely no progress in the past year when I had pretty much everything dialed in, starting to lose motivation..

    @wmsgil Unless not getting stronger means that you made your exercises significantly hard then that is your problem. If your program isnt making you stronger it isnt working. After noob gains only technique and muscle gain make you stronger. The like problem at your place is likely 1)...

    How does progressive overload ACTUALLY work?

    @brianlee3271 Progressive overload means that you need to increase abselute effort to keep the stimuli the same wheb you adapt. You dont need to increase stimuli if you dont get stronger. There is no way you meed to do it. Going close to failure on everything is going to get rough when you get...

    Renaissance Periodization - How To ACTUALLY Build Muscle As Fast As Possible

    @lancslad91 Ive trained 6 days a week for years and its going fine. No its not. Optimal is optimal. Its not what your schedule would like to be optimal or what you would like to be optimal. None of what you mentioned affects protein need. At best it makes you less sensitive to protein...

    Just joined a CF gym and I’m confused

    @fivetonsofflax Or maybe I actually understand how strength and conditioning works. You apperantly arent able to understand what im telling you. There is no correct way of moving. Only efficient ways and ive yet to meet a crossfit "coach" who are actually able to teach basic movement patterns...

    Just joined a CF gym and I’m confused

    @fivetonsofflax I train in Scandinavias largest box so I do think i know what crossfit is. Both practically and its formal definition. Moving your body correctly isnt really a thing is also harmfull language. There is only moving your body efficiently. Since all adaptions are task specific...

    Just joined a CF gym and I’m confused

    @fivetonsofflax No they do it because they know nothing about how physical adaptions work or because they think its fun. Crossfit is inhrrently bad at causing physical adaptions due to how the said principle works. There is a reason why all top Crossfit athletes come from other sports.

    Finally did it

    @sagirl Most people dont have a lot of upper body muscle mass. So you likely need to gain some weight or at least do more volume.

    7 months into lifting, feeling like I'm not doing good enough.

    @cleannie You've been loosing a lot of weight. Its hard to have massive progress while cutting. If you are getting stronger i would expect results over time. If not, find another program.

    Just joined a CF gym and I’m confused

    @fivetonsofflax No its not its a sport. The definition of training is specific movements done with a specific end goal. Crossfit is by its own definition the opposite if that. You might call its working out or fitness. But its not training unless you are training for the sport of Crossfit.

    Just joined a CF gym and I’m confused

    @nicolenik Yes you shoulf supplement CF with weight lifting. Unlike what most people think crossfit is a sport and not a type of training. If you want to be good at it, it should be treated as such. A cf class is physical activity, but if you are not a novice ypu will have to supplement with...

    Not made any progress in years

    @cinnamoroll Tbh if you squat 150 kg after 15 years of training and you actually squat there is something fundamentally wrong with hour training or programming. You said youve tried a lot of programs over the years. If you by programs mean templates made by other that is likely your problem...

    SUPER High Maintenance Calories

    @brothermaurice My first guess would be your tracking something wrong. But it sometimes happens that (usually males) get extremely high maintaince calories, but if you have to cut you have to go very low. Much of this could be that you have very high neat. In some experiment people who are...

    Renaissance Periodization - How To ACTUALLY Build Muscle As Fast As Possible

    @sbrodhagen Some muscles like side delts can take a large beating. Higher frequency than twice a week wont do anything volume equated. But there is a limit to per session volume so more session might give you more volume. Lets say you can handle 30 sets of side delts. But the max per session...

    Triceps tendonitis/tendopathy for over 1,5yrs

    @trumpeter2 You cant always rehab without pain. You just dont need to increase it from training.

    Progression rant

    @katy89 Progressing reps usually isnt the best strategy at reps to much below 10 reps. You are simply adding to much each time.

    Triceps tendonitis/tendopathy for over 1,5yrs

    @jonojim1337 Tendonitis is handled by train, it wont go away without. (Like most other pain) but you probably need to lower volume and/or intensity untill your capacity increase.

    am I doing enough sets for hypertrophy on push and pull days?

    @goldengirl34 Do it twice a week if thid doesnt make you sore all week.

    Progression rant

    @yaeer1942 Yes. Heavy compounds usually cause a lot of fatigue close to failure when you get stronger. This is probably fine for bench press, but for squats and deadlifts this is just going to train support more musculatur at lower reps.
