@carollu Send him an email in a couple days when he's had time to cool down. Start off by apologizing again. Tell him that you're a big fan of the gym he's built. Tell him that you were excited to show the gym to a buddy who was thinking about coming over there from a competitor. Explain that...

@trumpeter2 Yeah, 13lbs over more than 3 years is not a while lot of progress even if you are a lean, natural bodybuilder

@bravado328 Probably because it's hard to get any sort of progressive overload when you're doing low-rep sets (especially if you aren't doing a huge number of sets). It's a lot harder to go from 4 heavy reps to 5 heavy reps than it is to go from 10 medium reps to 11 medium reps. Unless you're...

@trumpeter2 Yeah, honestly, not sure why I included those. Was between sets, and apparently not thinking straight haha.

@trumpeter2 Squats are great because it develops strength in quads, hammies, glutes, and core. It's absolutely beneficial for sports training, especially for younger people that just want to get bigger, stronger, and more athletic. It just doesn't target certain muscles as well as a lot of...

@fender75 If we assume a 2-hour workout, that's 12 minutes between sets. Even if each set is a minute long (which it wouldn't be if he's doing low rep sets) that's an absurd rest period. I find it hard to believe there are studies that would support that style of training.

@dawn16 Here's the deal with genetics... It's what separates the elite bodybuilders from the professional-but-not-amazing bodybuilders because all of those guys are busting their asses and have their shit dialed in. If you have someone that's truly blessed with genetics, then maybe they can be...

@svavaosk I basically just break it out into individual muscle groups. Not as good as far as functional weight training, but it works just fine for bodybuilding. I hit leg press, leg curls, leg extensions, and barbell hip thrusts every leg day along with calves and whatever random other...

@awak3nedm1nd I have shit hip flexibility, so I always hated squats even though I trained enough to do a solid amount.

@paradis Good bot

@kevinfd1985 I don't even have a 6-pack (working on it. 31 years old, I'm going to get it back for the first time since I was 19... I was more worried about getting big and strong for way too long), and people tell me all the time, "I remember when I was young and had muscles like you!" I've...

@minhphat I agree that people shouldn't be doing RIR early on. I think it takes a decent amount of experience to develop the knowledge of how much you truly do have in reserve, and the only way to know that is to train to failure anyway. So yeah, after years of lifting, you probably have a good...
