    Are weighted pull ups even worth it?

    @vinod367 Pull ups worked extremely well for me. I feel like its the easiest workout to track progression as well. You remember every time you can do 1 extra pullup and you see the new muscles popping in your back. I didn't start Weighted until I was able to do about around 15 pullups body weight

    Is it dumb to offset calories the next day?

    @awoods88 Its an average that matters so as long as your average gets back to your goal caloric intake it dont really matter much. Also in case you arent aware fat as a nutrition is important you really just want to make sure you have enough protein and your total calories are at whatever your...

    How does progressive overload ACTUALLY work?

    @brianlee3271 It is very very simple. Find a routine and stick to it so that you can actually track your progress. If you change routines all the time you wont know if you are progressing. Every time you are back to the same day, try to lift either more reps or more weight. If you can do more...

    Is there a 'formula' to help determine the appropriate rep range to use from the 5-30 range for a specific exercise?

    @jdez Not really formula, but some muscles are considered slow twitch muscles, whereas others are fast twitch muscles. Calves for example are slow twitch muscles and apparently respond better to a higher rep range for hypertrophy. Learned it from a few videos on youtube you can search up...

    Lower/Upper/Lower for 3 days in a row, and then rest 1, and Upper again, and rest 2. Is it okay?

    @sammierose18 Are you progressing in your lift? If you arent, that means you need more rest

    How Long to build a decent Physique

    @jameshelp If you are not tracking your calories, and you say you are doing everything else on the list. It is your missing piece of the puzzle. Find out your TDEE and start tracking what you eat, no more guessing

    7.1 lbs of muscle in 8 weeks possible natty? (stanford university experiment, link included)

    @kpmasonry Maybe close to it if he was a total noob and suddenly started eating in a surplus and lifting optimally (2x per week per muscle group). But 7lbs is a fucking ton

    Muscle imbalances

    @simancia Dont train one side more than the other, and work on mobility and form. Many times due do limited mobility or poor form one side may get an uneven workout, or not an identical one

    Lat involvement in a vertical 'suitcase' lift (boring Q for anatomy nerds)

    @lostandfoundproverbs31 There is no way this activates your lats. You might be flexing them a bit to tighten up your core and such sure, but this is not a lat excercise. This is a great tutorial for beginners to have an idea of what lats do and how to actuvate them

    Are those Hammer Strength chest machines worthwhile for hypertrophy?

    @knowledgeisnotignorant The ones in my gym actually give me an even better stretch than a barbell would, so i guess some machines are different. But they are definitely 100% effective for hypertrophy. Many people do agree that barbell isnt the most optimal when compared to something like dumbell...

    Seriously stubborn and weak chest

    @polarbearwear You say in your comments you are also gaining weight which is good if youa re trying to gain strength. I would advise trying different kinds of lifts for chest

    Demonizing an entire macro nutrient is probably the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Don’t fall for the fads trying to demonize carbs

    @lepomis The average person doesnt even know about energy expendenture and that its the reason you are fat or skinny
