@nmfrye Oh okay! That’s fair

@nmfrye Is there any reason why you wouldn’t give them their own designated day ? I just see that on the second half of your week you’re doing PPL.

@morherof2 Yes, but improper logging (ie cooked or raw) can cause drastic shifts in caloric content. I’m not saying this is what you’re doing, I’m just saying it’s a very common oversight

@morherof2 Not trying to be “that guy”. But first step 100% is to re-verify that you are calculating your calories correctly. Caloric deficit = losing weight. It’s literal thermodynamics. So I’d recommend verifying you’re measuring your food right, or weighing it correctly. As over eating /...

@nmfrye I feel like chest + back is a lot of volume for one day. But it depends how many sets etc you’re doing !

I've seen a lot of questions asking about Push Pull Legs splits, so I figured I would type out an EXAMPLE. As stated, this is an EXAMPLE and does not need to be implemented verbatim to be effective. The example as written would likely be too much for a new lifter. But I just wanted to show...

@tothesky You can send me a DM if you like and we can chat about this further in depth. I’m fairly active on Reddit so I get quite a few comment responses etc. I’m only recommending a DM as that way it won’t get lost in the static !

@tothesky Uhhhh, kind of ? I’m saying that it’s leaning more toward hypertrophic training than power training, yes. But it’s not exactly deemed scientifically “optimal” as far as motor unit recruitment, mechanical tension, and therefor muscle hypertrophy. I can explain a bit more in depth when...

@tothesky The most modern literature indicates that muscular hypertrophy is most prominent in the 5-8 rep range (for a number of reasons). The most important of which, is in all levels of lifters studied, the higher the rep count, the further away from failure the lifters were stopping their...

@dojoloach Slight caloric deficit. Don’t crash diet. Easy peasy!

@vagrantcatholic Really should separate days into pushing and pulling. It just makes more sense from a stimulus to fatigue ratio point of view.

@ronald0712 I mean, sticking to M-F makes it a bit trickier. But Push-Pull-Legs is my favourite.

@jerryfont Yes. I drink twice a day quite literally every day.

@quest4reason The “affecting the gains”, portion of your question is solely reliant on adequate protein intake, and muscle stimulus. Aim for 0.8g protein/lb of body weight and you should be fine :)

@katmack 1) How old are you ? I didn’t see that posted. 2) Pushups are a beautiful exercise and can do wonders ! You can do soooo many variations to place emphasis on other muscles as well :) ! If you’re within walking distance to some monkey bars you can get a phenomenal back workout with pull...

@flyinq Hey! Put the heckin’ phone down and get after it then !! In all seriousness, lemme know how it goes !

@sophiewilson0191 So the 2-3 working sets with the rep point of 5-8 takes a couple sessions to get it dialed in for a proper starting point. Ex: I may “think” I can get 130 for 5, but maybe I can only do it for 3, so I decrease to 120 and get it for 6. The next set I get 5.. so I know for next...

@flyinq Doing a slight incline DB press is my favourite

@flyinq I would say do some form of incline press (if you’re comfortable with free weights). I do 3 pressing variations on my clavicular intensive push day
