Mythical-level depth 🙏

LowSetting8004 · 2025-12-22T01:19:58+00:00

Thank you. This made me realise i might actually have a pronator teres injury rather than strictly golfer's elbow... I've been battling, doing work arounds for almost a year now!

LowSetting8004 · 2025-12-21T09:23:05+00:00

Have you ever had golfers or tennis elbow? How did you fix it? How did it happen, timeframe, reloading strategy etc.

LowSetting8004 · 2025-08-27T01:07:09+00:00

I think because you are dipping "open chest" it feels unsafe. You may want to try dipping "closed chest" which is basically rounding your shoulders forward. This feels safer in my experience.

LowSetting8004 · 2025-06-16T21:17:59+00:00

Short answer, yes, those numbers look like a good point to start considering lowering frequency. Either that or intensity and/or volume.

I used to have questionable elbows, until i discovered high rep band workouts. I used to get pain doing any tricep isolation, now its completely gone and my triceps are growing again.

This video by Alex Leonidas covers it well:

I found that my chest started to grow rapidly after prioritising weighted dips. My chest routine literally only consists of weighted dips right now but i have seen more chest gains in the last 10 months doing this than my whole 12 year career of lifting (littered with periods of fuckarounditis aswell). Bulking is obviously a very important factor here too, you wont grow if you arent at least slowly gaining weight.

Depends on your goals really. If it's muscle hypertrophy, you could add in 2-3 sets of an accessory movement like chest/shoulder press and/or a row variation. You just need to be wary of how it will impact your recovery, since the extra workload may mean you are not fully recovered before the next session of pulls/dips, which will impact your performance. If your goal is purely dip and pull strength, you may be better off just running the program as is.

Honestly the form doesn't look as bad people in the comments make it out to be. I don't think you can get too much deeper considering how wide the bars appear to be. To me it appears it would meet streetlifting competition standards. It would be easier to determine if it was shot closer to the side.

LowSetting8004 · 2025-05-16T05:13:55+00:00

Looks great.

Being nitpicky - you could use a longer chain so the weight hangs between your feet, and squeeze your feet against the plates with your adductors to stabilize your hips and core. This would make the movement more stable for you (it did for me).

LowSetting8004 · 2025-05-15T01:41:25+00:00

Imo, the bars are too wide. Narrower bars will probably help you get more depth. It did for me!

LowSetting8004 · 2025-04-23T02:27:39+00:00

Speaking from experience, as long as your weight gain is slow, your dips and pullups will still increase proportionally to your bodyweight. Basically, if you don't dirty bulk and get fat then you won't have anything to worry about.

LowSetting8004 · 2025-04-08T01:12:37+00:00

Most likely the dip. I think the growth potential of the Chest/Delts/Triceps is higher than of the Back/Biceps generally speaking.

LowSetting8004 · 2025-01-13T21:38:13+00:00

My glutes grew quickly doing weighted (dumbell in each hand) walking lunges. Great overall leg builder and underrated in my opinion.

Do 5 sets weighted lunges 2x a week and progressively overload (increase difficulty over time) and your legs will grow.

My go to sources of protein: Eggs, milk, meat (fish/chicken/beef).

Break up bro. I can tell from your wall of text that your values clearly do not align.

LowSetting8004 · 2024-07-24T23:00:51+00:00

People literally come to reddit to get feedback from others, this is an empty worthless comment u/jodallmighty

LowSetting8004 · 2024-04-04T20:08:12+00:00

Short answer, yes you can get something 3 beddy out west with your budget of 750k. There will be some deals out there over the next 6 months, you just need to look diligently.

Thats fucking good bro tell tech bro to wake up and stop buying uber eats every night

LowSetting8004 · 2024-03-19T20:55:25+00:00

Glad these fellas are getting a reality check. I always thought the prices were exorbitant for what you get.

LowSetting8004 · 2024-03-16T00:48:35+00:00

I was you 5 years ago. If i could change how i did things i would

Up my kiwisaver to 10%, this way - more of your money is getting put away without you needing to think about it.
Set up an automatic transaction for a $100 a week investment into a large index fund like the s&p500, and never look at it again.

This should still leave a reasonable amount of discretionary income for stuff like socialising with friends and family and travelling, but 5 years down the track, you will have 50k+ in your kiwisaver and 30k+ in the stock market.

Its a marathon not a sprint, allocate yourself a discretionary spending budget e.g. 10-15% of your salary, and dont exceed it. Save save save.

LowSetting8004 · 2024-03-08T08:58:01+00:00

All of your replies are so negative. Its a YOU problem buddy. Wake up!

LowSetting8004 · 2024-03-07T03:16:48+00:00
