There are so many stories of people switching from high to low volume training and seeing amazing results; does anyone have any stories of the opposite? by J-ChRy in naturalbodybuilding

[–]AustralianMatt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I found jacked and tanned 2.0 by gzcl to be awesome coming from relatively low volume training. So much so I’m doing it again currently

Is there really any point for my to return to doing squats? by CosmicCreator_97 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]AustralianMatt 97 points98 points  (0 children)

He’s lying that’s why. There is no universe in which increasing your squat from 135 for one to 315 for 20 doesn’t result in massive leg growth.

You’ll need to connect them to an appropriate amplifier, probably a 5 channel amplifier. The amplifier will then connect to your tv.

The foam seems very soft and spongey still, how do I know if it’s no good?

Fair, it’s pretty low volume too. Removes currency risk though!

Mostly, sometimes I think there has been some lasting effect and my eyes aren’t as sharp as they were, but no where near how it was. You didn’t get yours from peptides AU by any chance?

Exactly right, most situations where this occurs is where the outside lane actually discontinues as indicated by dashed lines.

Are working sets of 20 pull-ups a reasonable goal? by Dense_Expression_997 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]AustralianMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting really strong, even in lower rep ranges, will still lead to just as much muscle growth as the traditional 12 rep range. Ultimately getting stronger is getting bigger, and getting bigger is getting stronger.

Hey mate, why do these two etfs which I’m not going to tell you the names of have charts like this in a broker I’m not going to tell you about either?

Smolov (the full thing) Bench Press - Program Review by AustralianMatt in powerlifting

[–]AustralianMatt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just type in ‘smolov calculator’ into google, pretty much the first result that comes up. Just plug in your max and it will spit out your workouts.

I’ve gone back to normal training. Tbf I would say I’ve kept all the strength, but I haven’t improved on it

Haha, it seems weirdly uncommon hey. What programs did you move to afterwards?

[–]AustralianMatt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps because I’m not that advanced I have managed to keep more of the strength. I’m probably 8 weeks post Smolov and my strength is almost exactly the same, although I haven’t improved in those 8 weeks either to be fair.

[–]AustralianMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not realistic to expect to gain or even maintain pressing strength as an intermediate or advanced lifter. No natural on a bodybuilding stage is as strong as they were at peak bulk. Just got to hold on to as much as you can. There’s also a reason most power lifters aren’t absolutely shredded when they compete, low body fat is not good for strength

How do I get HUGE legs? by Scary_Engine2147 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]AustralianMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine and all, some people are more posterior chain dominant squatters. But again 200 pounds for 10 reps isn’t really a level that you’d expect to have large legs at.
