@pablob Your optimum weight is perhaps around 185 Lb. Do chin ups and negative pull ups and one day you will be doing your first pull up. Give it a few months.

@arniep Personally I think is unnecessary and I mentally make changes. I couldn't care less if the name if different. lol. But people seem to have problem with that. I used Dynamic List for expanding library. And personal library is local and not affected by updates.

@arniep My app produces audio cues to do a series of exercises, so exercises have names attached to them for text-to-speech feature, as well as a video of the movement for each exercise, which I spent enormous amount of time to record and edit. HOWEVER, when I presented the app to some...

@kellywrigh6 Do I really need to write it in sarcasm font?

@werby I mean I can do 45 sec and can't walk the next day but pretty sure I can do 8 hours if I wanted to. I may need 20 years to get there so I will be 80 then, but so what. Besides If one can do 8 then why not go hogwild and do 9. What's the difference.

@raykay My main point is that three mechanisms are causing hypertrophy of three different components of the muscle and we need to train all three either periodized or combined. They all add to volume of the muscle in their own capacity. For this reason it is wrong to say that high reps will...

@raykay Correct there are three mechanisms for hypertrophy. But the three mechanisms are causing hypertrophy of three different components of the muscle. They all add to the muscular volume in their own capacity. We should train all of them to maximize growth of the muscle as a whole...

@menacebysociety Going through the motions of the actual workout (sometimes prioritizing the first exercise) with a light load or no load at all has always been a common sense minimum warmup. 10 minutes for me is a bare minimum to loosen up but even less than that seems to be enough for some people.

@cristianalexandr105 Dips are highly rated, not at all underrated. But you can do pushups everywhere.

@vivann These are hard to grip, they have very thick upper tubes.

@mstub You feel weak after exercise. It's normal to lose dexterity in your arms and hands for a couple of hours after hard workout. Just a note if you didn't know: your muscle grows when you rest. So make sure you allow the muscle sufficient time to recover and then grow more. If you don't...

@notmyname Thumb-over grip is a bit easier progression and may help you add 1 or 2 more reps to get some more volume in a set. Then try to do 4-6 sets X 5 reps. Or use appropriate resistance bands to help you get 3X10, or 4X8, or 5x6, 2 to 3 times a week. So work at closer to 80% of max and more...

@gokua Keep it somewhat refracted and depressed all the time. Active hang.

@chris1975 You need to keep increasing load to maintain high intensity. High intensity stimulates growth in muscle mass and strength. Training with the load that you can rep only 5-8 times is considered optimal and relatively high intensity. Whenever you can finish 8 reps in all your sets...

@yahleel For the 3 (negatives), my opinion is that for some people it works fine, but generally if your muscle is not strong enough for positives, tendons and joins are not ready for them either. So one can be risking injury, as I experienced, as it's hard to determine how much is too much...

@iprayforpeace (1) Lower the intensity and increase reps. Do bodyweight squats of such a depth that you can make 50+ until your legs burn. (2) Balance on one leg until you can't stand on it any more if your life depends on it. (3) Exaggerate the pain in your doctor's office so that you get...

@massico Avoid elliptical. It's bad for knees for two reasons. One, it forces foot-knee alignment through entire range of motion that may not be you natural alignment. Walking and running for example are done on ball of the foot allowing heel to rotate to maintain natural joint alignment. As...

@saved123 Most anxiety and depression comes from worrying about things that never materialize.

@kc8vji This study doesn't take into account long term muscle composition change when doing exclusively low rep high load training. This is very important for elite athletes such as Olympic lifters, javelin throwers etc. For them, especially if competing in weight class sports, it is important...

@mattw I could do 1 wide elbow pushup 3 months ago. Now days I do anywhere from 6 to 15 depending on whether I put them up front or later in my workout, or how fast or slow I do them. It's sometimes frustrating and surprisingly low reps but I am sure in one thing, 6 is now absolute minimum and...
