@soulpurity Which exercises do you think my form is not great in? Someone said the incline DB press. Do you think my pulldowns and machine rows are okay?

@rcorfield I measure everything I eat with a scale and I weigh myself every day.

@mikeintrouble No I am definitely going to failure. I’m not sure what the point of acting like I’m going to failure would be. Others have pointed out that I have a bad base on a lot of the workouts, so that’s why my legs flail around because I didn’t really know I had to have them firmly planted.

@hnr1203 Thank you for your advice. I will be more cognizant of my elbows on the bench press. I have seen some AthleanX stuff, I’ll watch some of his videos on form. I will look into that program. I’m going to stick with this for at least a few more weeks as I have made some strength gains...

@augustbug Thank you for taking the time to to write out this long and detailed response. A lot of good advice. I think I added to much weight because on my last post people told me my weight was too low and that I wasn’t training intense enough, so I added weight and tried my hardest on the...

@mindygail I am considering squatting. I have also reduced the volume a bit and and considering reducing it more. On day 1 I removed a set from the incline DB press and plan to remove a set from the machine row. On day 3 I’m planning on removing a set from the flat dumbbell bench press...

@starburst3316 I don’t mind harsh if there’s some sort if useful criticism that comes with it. I have reduced the volume a bit and and considering reducing it more. On day 1 I removed a set from the incline DB press and plan to remove a set from the machine row. On day 3 I’m planning on...

@starburst3316 I read exactly what you said. You said: Again. Nowhere did I say i decided this program isn’t working. This post was specifically a follow up to my previous one asking for feedback on my form and my definition of failure. And in fact in multiple comments I have specifically...

@starburst3316 I’ve been on the program for 5 weeks. And this post isn’t saying the program isn’t working. It’s an update to the previous posts with videos of me doing workouts so people can critique my form and what I call failure. Which plenty of people have done. Did you read my post...

@catch_the_music Thank you. That’s exactly what this is. Nowhere did I say I’m expecting to be ripped in 2 weeks.

@gamehhh Thank you for the advice I will keep this in mind and I will also focus on better form.

@neshemah Thanks!

@ilovebilliejoearmstrong Ok I will drop the weight a but and focus on good form for the db press and other exercises.

@ilovebilliejoearmstrong What do you mean by arc in DB path? Do you have a video of what you mean? As in my arm should move more like a fly? I definitely feel tension in my chest when I do the incline DB press.

@easy813 It’s just an easy way to get some calories in the morning.

@easy813 This is just the way the workout program is structured. I might changed up the workouts in a few weeks or so. But I just made the change to going to failure so I wanted to avoid changing too many things at one time. Also I started this program 5 weeks ago so I wanted to give it some...

@sbcalady Yes the program does increase weight every week. And I’m following that. It increases weight by 2.5% every week I think. It also increases reps, but since I plan on just going to failure now I just go to failure and I compare my reps to last week to see if I gained strength. So my...

@sbcalady Thanks for the advice. What exercises do you think I should get rid of and/or keep? I do have pulldowns and presses in there. But for example there is a lot of stuff on the shoulders/arms day.

@sbcalady I’m not doing the RIR in the program. I’m just following the workout splits and I’m going to failure on each workout. I’ve reduced the sets to 3 sets on compound lifts and 4-5 on isolation lifts.

@sbcalady Ok thanks for your advice, I will consider that. I’m going to keep at this program for a bit, because I have made some small gains in a lot of my lifts when i compare the 2nd week of going to failure to the first. So I’m gonna keep at it because I want to see if those gains will...
