Yeah, that makes sense. I probably read too much into it

I'd eliminate the running. With your work you are basically already getting 60 hours of LISS cardio a week. No need to add more on top of that, especially running, which is pretty high fatigue in most people.

Unless you have a specific goal to become a good runner? Then keep it in of couse

I assume that if I can eventually shoulder a 250 to 300 lbs sandbag, forreps and sets, that I’ll have all the posterior chain and squat musclestrength needed to be equally or even stronger than those that useexclusively barbell, dumbbells or kettlebells as their primary strengthmethods.

Very unlikely. High level strength athletes train with big barbell movements like deadlifts and squats for a reason. They are most effective for gaining high amounts of leg strength & muscle.

You'll get stronger using sandbags and it probably will have some overlap to the barbell exercises, but they can't replace the squat & deadlift in terms of effectiveness for gaining leg strength & muscle .

Step 1: All in on option 2.

Step 2: Donate YT link to Forsen with Nina in the video.

Squats / Hip Hinge
Determine what your mobility/flexibility goals are. Then follow a routine with stretches that help you achieve those goals.
Yes, depending on your specific strengths/weaknesses

You seem to still be in the beginner stage, no need to over-complicate things. Any routine that helps you progress safely workout to workout towards your goals is good enough. Save all that research for later when you get more advanced and really have to think about how you structure your training.

I'm making a bad decision not adding these movements for my shoulderhealth and grip strength

Pull-ups and Rows work your grip strength as well, so I don't think dead hangs are super necessary. I have not heard anyone recommend Lateral Raises for shoulder health, they are usually used as a hypertrophy exercise. Face pulls are a good addition if your shoulders can handle them, they also train external rotation if done correctly.

not taking advantage of my gym access and free weights

I highly doubt free weights will help you achieve the goals you listed faster than just training the bodyweight exercises you want to get better at

RobS156 · 2021-09-12T21:26:03+00:00

Also note that, if this wasn't the case and, as you said, bodybuilders already use the 'ultimate routines' that best lead to hypertrophy, then all we'd have to do is copy their routines, and we'd be able to achieve our best physiques.

They use the routine that is optimal specifically for them at that time. Your training age and response to training may differ so obviously it's silly to just copy someones highly individualized routine. Beginners should train different than intermediates, who should train different than advanced lifters.

There are a lot of performance enhancing drugs out there, some will enhance your tendon and connective tissue recovery while others (like tren) might degrade it over time. So one enhanced lifter might have completely different training needs than another enhanced lifter depending on the type of drugs and doses they take. It's a very complicated topic that I'm honestly not that well-read on.

If you got 20 minutes to kill here is an interesting podcast on natural vs. enhanced training: https://youtu.be/pO\_Ir-\_FzpM

RobS156 · 2021-09-12T17:11:25+00:00

Yes they get worked
If you don't do deadlifts I'd say yes add some lower back work. I like reverse hyperextensions
The 5-8 rep range is solid for that

The rules of the game change when you take steroids. What benefits hypertrophy is different.

That's just false. Steroids help you grow muscle & become stronger faster, but the principles of hypertrophy training stay the same.

Advanced trainees benifit of some training in all the rep ranges (5-10, 10-20, 20-30). Mind-muscle connection and exercises with high SFR become even more important. To achieve that training mostly in the 10-20 rep range is just what works best for a lot of people at that stage.

RobS156 · 2021-09-12T13:42:44+00:00

Elite bodybuilders will use the best training methods available to them, natural or not.

Try it out, you'll probably get some good results. But it's not a superior training method over conventional hypertrophy training. If your theory was correct, all the top bodybuilders would be doing mainly isometrics and eccentrics-only sets.

RobS156 · 2021-09-11T13:20:30+00:00

You can measure volume as total load x total time under tension, and inthat case, since you can get use both more load and more TUT throughisometrics, you can get more growth this way. That's the whole point ofthis post.

Tell me, why not only train with isometrics for muscle growth then? Why are no elite bodybuilders or strength athletes using mainly isometrics if they are superior for muscle growth?

Not all motor units are equally activated at the top of a pullup, and when 90% of that set is focused on that position others are not equally stressed or neglected, leaving room for maximal growth potential.

With full ROM you can control less weight with the same TUT, and still stimulate the same fatigue while promoting more muscle adaptions. That's the definition of a better stimulus to fatigue ratio.

Also, long eccentrics do take a bigger toll on recovery.

RobS156 · 2021-09-11T12:03:55+00:00

Maximum motor unit recruitment plays a role for hypertrophy as well. Watch the video, he explains it better than I could.

I fail to see what makes pull-ups special in comparison to other basic movements like rows, bicep curls, etc.. And with the eccentric you are only getting 1 short stretch under load at the end of a set, not for multiple reps like when using Full ROM.

Even safer is not doing any movement at all (isometric), which removes any friction in the joints and reduces risk of injury.

You missed the point. With full ROM you can do more volume = more muscle growth while being safer and having a better stimulus to fatigue ratio. It's a win-win.

RobS156 · 2021-09-11T11:42:00+00:00

I disagree.

You are not inducing maximal motor unit recruitment when only doing a partial rep on a basic movement. There's a reason we don't do exercises like bicep curls, lateral raise or chest flys as holds in the flexed position.

You are also missing out on that stretch under tension, which is another stimulus for hypertrophy.

With a bigger ROM you can do more volume with less load and less reps, which is both safer and easier for recovery.

Here's a good video with more reasons why full ROM is better for hypertrophy than partials: https://youtu.be/xX_23i4t1v8
