    Intensity vs workload

    When people ask what sets and reps they should do the correct answer is the amount of sets that fatigues the muscle. You should aim to increase the number of sets required over time. Or try to increase the work done in a period of time. This initial amount of rate of progression is different for...

    Intensity vs workload

    Yes obviously you can get stronger and progress. But at some point that is not sustainable. When you are at that point you need to increase the amount of mechanical work completed in a period of time which can be improved almost indefinitely. If you leg press then go straight to leg extensions...

    Intensity vs workload

    Yeah you mis read. I am saying that getting stronger is not sustainable in reality. Also, I would say that getting stronger is a by-product of the hypertrophy and not the actual cause of the hypertrophy. You're lifting more because you gained muscle - you're not gaining muscle because you lifted...

    Caloric Surplus

    Do you think that you need to be in a caloric surplus in order to grow? Or do you think you just need to have adequate calories? I see a lot of examples of people that get big and ripped and none of them pay attention to diet. However they are all people that eat an astonishing amount of food...

    Clen + Ostarine + Cardarine

    You can get shredded by taking steroids to avoid muscle loss then just starving yourself. Clinical studies show that significant muscle loss happens once you get to ~5% in people that don't even lift. People are always trying to take the easy way.

    Intensity vs workload

    Let me just bring to the table that getting stronger absolutely works for gaining muscle. But how much muscle are you going to gain if you increase your 8RM by 5lb that month? Not a lot However training density, muscular endurance, can be improved indefinitely. This is my main quarrel with HIT...

    front box squat helped at first but now causing pain

    A few things you can try. Changing the height of the box The distance between your feet Barefoot / different shoes The degree that your feet are pointing out Without actually being with you in person, this is really hard to tell really. So, you'll have to embrace your own Nikola Tesla and...

    Smelling salts

    It causes an acute adrenaline dump. You use them to lift more weight, which is largely irrelevant outside of fringe strength sports

    Clen + Ostarine + Cardarine

    Can't really give any recommendations without pictures or at least knowing some measurements I'm willing to be all you need is less food and more activity though.

    Are you saying that they somehow knew what a guy that size would look like, despite never seeing it before or knowing it was possible? BTW there is archaeological evidence that shows people with this level of muscularity were walking around at this time
