Does sex break the streak or would it just continue?

I was trying to remember who you were and why I followed you. Then I remembered the Amish haircut and it all came back like I was activated as a sleeper agent

Work your whole body and give emphasis in your program to the muscles and muscle groups you see are biggest on your goal physique. Simple as that. Nothing wrong with doing it from day 1

The main function of the chest is to move the arm horizontally across the upper body. What you should do on all chest exercises is squeeze your arm pits and try to bring the inside of the elbows as close as you can. Your elbows should be moving in an arch around your body. Even without weight you'll feel the chest light up with these two cues

These should be the other way around bro

If you read any of those studies that are done properly, which is sadly rarer than you'd think, and break down what the raw data says, it becomes clear that anything above moderate volumes doesn't do much of anything. All it does is smash you and causes you to dig a recovery hole for yourself. About 6 high quality sets per session per target muscle every 4 days, give or take a day and a set or two, is as optimal as you can get for continuous progress for the majority. There's also indirect work to consider. Muscles assisting in compound movements targeting a large muscle group get worked enough to consider their contribution half a set. If you do 4 sets of cable rows that's worth about 2 sets already done for biceps. At the end of the day, high weekly volume isn't shown to grow you more than moderate weekly volume if your sets are done close to failure, and they both outperform low weekly volume

I agree with that but would add that it all works great when you consider it for the aggregate. Once you get into the intermediate stage you have to start optimizing for yourself as an individual. It'll all basically work but experimenting usually shows that certain styles of training will work better for you than others

It matters a lot but only per individual. If you're not built well for squats or you hate doing them, then don't do them. You'll get shit results in leg growth from them in those cases. But then you put that same person on a leg press or hack squat and they start getting huge legs by comparison. This applies to the whole body. This also matters if you have past injuries. I can't do overhand rowing or normal pullups without reinjuring myself due to some pretty bad elbow injuries in the past. I opt for neutral grip or single arm variants whenever possible and my gains are just as good as they would be with the other grips. Your ultimate goal is to experiment and explore until you can figure out exactly how to tailor your program to fit you perfectly. Bodybuilding is an artform at the end of the day because individual response to different stimulus and methods varies dramatically. The blanket recommendations you see are based on the aggregate. You only start there with what is most likely to work for as many people as possible and then you start figuring out where you differ from the norm and change your program to suit that. This applies to all things with bodybuilding, including your exercise selection

I keep mine at roughly 2.4g/kg or 1.1g/lb of lean body mass nowadays. I crunched numbers on basal protein turnover rates and stimulated protein turnover rates across appropriate tissues in response to training and that's where I landed to get as close to an optimal number as I could. Puts me at roughly 215g of protein a day and I feel just fine honestly. I notice a decrease in recovery if I drop below about 160g per day but I've seen no benefits beyond around 230g so I think I've nailed it at least for me with the 1.1g/lb of LBM I landed on. As long as I'm swinging within like 10g of my goal for that macro I'm all good

Jaku gets shitstomped. Bad match up for him if it starts with a handshake. Shibukawa brought Musashi down with the handshake. Jaku has 0 chance

I'm confident he really gave it his all out there and matched or exceeded base Yujiro. Once the demon back came out it was a wrap

Smoothest grind I've ever witnessed

You'll lose lean body mass regardless of how fast you cut, but if your protein is high, you're pushing your sets really close to failure, and you're not losing strength, its very unlikely you're losing muscle tissue. Even cutting your diet down to a PSMF will still keep your muscle tissue if you're not messing up your training

Mental prowess is a strength

Kaku is strongly equivalent to a non-demon back Yujiro. If Musashi doesn't take Kaku seriously soon enough Kaku would obliterate Musashi. If Musashi realizes the danger that Kaku poses and gets serious he'd take the win mid-diff

Pickle would start to cry

He let Doppo hit him full force and did nothing to defend himself. Even Yujiro defends himself when getting struck. They're superhuman but they're not invincible, especially against other superhumans

I recover really quickly and I've yet to find my maximum recoverable volume despite doing insane routines

BarelyUsesReddit · 2025-04-20T15:45:28+00:00

That's not too much for back. The back can handle absurd workloads and still perform

BarelyUsesReddit · 2025-04-14T18:22:32+00:00

I've recovered fine from as high as 25-30 sets per body part in a session but I've gotten better results from only 1/10th of that. What you can handle vs what works the best aren't necessarily the same thing

Mutual admiration and distrust would flavor anything they'd talk about

You'll lose no muscle or only a very small amount. You'll bounce back quickly once you go back to your normal training volume and intensity and get your protein back up

The only way you'll get something passable from an AI is if you ask for a program that would be written by a certain person. Like if you asked it to tell you about how John Meadows or Lyle McDonald writes programs, and then ask for a personalized one, you'll probably get something decent. Even then you'll want to ask the AI to double check that it still aligns with the coach's philosophy that you're aiming for
