@paparazi257 Any "breakthrough" moments you've had recently/ in the last few years regarding training/nutrition, where you were like "oh shit, I'm an idiot"?

@ensea12 Yeah, honestly 3 days off in a row isn't a good idea either as you're not really benefitting from Muscle Protein Synthesis by that point. You should really be doing 2 on 1 off 2 on 2 off

@ensea12 I changed my split to add an extra day of recovery when I realised 2 rest days were better than 1

@froggyfan1 If you can recover, last set to failure is fine. If recovery becomes an issue, don't go to failure, but go close enough.

@backnforth If I'm going to say RPE 8, my first second and whatever after sets will (usually) not have the same number of reps. And if in adding reps the next week, it's to all sets. Example: Week 1, (3 sets, 6-10 reps). 9, 7, 6 Week 2; 10, 8, 7

@bastionhd How about not doing reverse curls and isolate the forearm with wrist curls? You can basically do them any day, they take 2 minutes to do an entire workout, and they won't impact biceps recovery

@schubert Cardio. No amount of lifting weights will make your waist smaller, apart from making everything else bigger so that your waist APPEARS smaller. You don't have to do cardio to get a smaller waist, but you need a calorie deficit.

@ensea12 I was concerned at first, and it doesn't seem to track water weight changes well when you start a bulk/cut, but over time it'll get you in the range of your maintainance, as it adapts and calculates your TDEE based on input food and input weight

@faithfulmommy1821 I have less experience than you, granted. But 2 hard sets of legs is definitely enough to at least maintain, especially if they're for hams, as they tend not to need as much volume as quads

@doks Dude, 5 sets of good mornings would ruin me FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. Since I've learned how to properly hip-hinge, any more than 1 set and I'm brutaly sore for a week.

@bobo_mcpherson You're 14 bro, what time management do you need?

@austinsugden May I ask why you're cutting so aggressively? I feel like super low cals are great for a short period of time, but really wouldn't push it for longer than a month with crazy defecits

@austinsugden The lowest I've done is sub 1600 cals for 2 weeks. It was surprisingly not that bad, training got really tough toward the end but I didn't really lose any strength,

@jimkbeau Honestly yeah, I forgot how brutal Nippard's prescribed leg days were. I'd honestly die or tear something if I tried it now. I'd start by tweaking it to suit your volume needs, but otherwise I really like RP's old PPL templates (you should be able to find the .xlsx somewhere on...

@jimkbeau As someone who has done Nippard's PPL, it's honestly not that well put together, and the volume is pretty high. Either way, the program wasn't made specifically for you, and your recoverability will differ. You ought to reduce volume for the muscles that get really sore until you...

@boot_camp Oh don't worry, if you're 1400 cals over maintainance you'll be 160 by the end of the month, for sure.

@trumpeter2 Beginners have less volume tolerance...

@kent1956 What the fuck. How do you survive a 50 set session?

@christianwriter87 You need to eat more. Go on a dedicated bulk phase. And don't stop until you're like 200lbs.

@jazzper You can probably find their pdf template online, somewhere. But basically you start at RPE 7, and week by week you add a little load or increase RPE, until you hit failure, basically, then you deload, rinse and repeat. As for sets, they have a rating system whereby you increase sets...
