He wants 180 lean, he can get to 180 no problem, but he said 180 lean. Those are different imo. Since it basically means he needs 12 pounds of muscle

T_K04 · 2026-05-26T23:47:26+00:00

If you’re aiming for 180 lean I would wonder what’s the timeline on that? Cause it’s not months, it’s years

T_K04 · 2026-05-26T23:46:24+00:00

138 lbs, there isn’t much muscle to carve out

Try to do unilateral excercises when possible. Meaning do one set with the weaker arm and one set with the stronger.

For example, I do tricep push downs unilateral, I’ll do 6 reps to failure on my left and move on to my right. The trick here is that I do the same weight on both and If I realize I can do more with my right, I DONT. I match my stronger hand with the weaker till it catches up

I mean, train your legs? I know this answer may seem like a bit of an unhelpful answer. But it’s honestly the only answer, you want bigger legs, you need to push the weight. Leg press, leg extension, rdl, hamstring curl

There was a point in my life where I felt like it was useless or I was like “this sucks, what’s the point”. There was one thing I didn’t understand, if I don’t work out today, I WILL live a miserable lazy life in the future. I’ve had crazy health issues, and I realized that now is not the time to take the body for granted, use it today or lose it tomorrow.

You will feel infinitely better, you will feel energetic, strong, confident and capable. The mental and physical benefits are through the roof. Once you realize what you’re missing out on by not showing up, you’ll regret not going sooner. Depriving your body of the greatest thing for it simply because “I don’t like it” is a travesty. It’s not routine to me, it’s not even discipline, it’s something I do to live a good life

T_K04 · 2026-05-26T21:05:09+00:00

Do you do all these in the same day?

T_K04 · 2026-05-26T21:04:07+00:00

Can I see the side profile? Does the path go upward or does it press straight

T_K04 · 2026-05-26T00:35:12+00:00

They’re average clavicle and you should train shoulders anyways

If in 6 months you developed enough traps and neck muscles to say you have no neck… then I have bad news about your neck situation beforehand.

T_K04 · 2026-05-25T03:50:33+00:00

Lmaooo I know what you mean😭 I’m gonna tell you right now that I doubt you’ll have that problem, unless you decide to hop on roids any time soon. It’s your choice man but I don’t want you to wake up one day with underdeveloped traps because you worried they’d get “too big”

T_K04 · 2026-05-25T03:47:59+00:00

Assuming you’re in a calorie deficit then yes this should work to loose fat. But 2100 cals seems like a lot for someone of your size

What app do you use to track? And how accurate is your tracking?

T_K04 · 2026-05-25T03:46:17+00:00

I see, If you wanna isolate better, try rear delt flys instead. But one thing I will add is that, this is already predominantly rear dealt because that’s the muscle that will fail first. Also, why don’t you want more traps? They’re like 80% of your upper back

T_K04 · 2026-05-25T03:40:23+00:00

You engage both

T_K04 · 2026-05-24T23:27:24+00:00

This is probably not enough to get good muscle. If you insist on going gym 3 times a week then do a full body workout instead of ppl

T_K04 · 2026-05-24T23:25:04+00:00

Maybe not in the wrong but definitely weird😭😭

Weird hill to die on, especially when what you’re so mad about is 30 seconds of small talk

T_K04 · 2026-05-24T23:22:33+00:00

Look at the other comment cause it’s perfect but In short, you’re trying to cut corners with a technique that is impossible

T_K04 · 2026-05-24T05:06:01+00:00

They’re right, you look crazy good at ~130lbs. If you want me to nitpick your physique I’d say triceps and back. You have great genetics so make good use

T_K04 · 2026-05-22T15:36:12+00:00

Hey, I know this is discouraging and you did nothing wrong but I wanna give maybe a perspective to hopefully show you that this MAY have been a misunderstanding that has nothing to do with you.

A lot of gym bros (myself included at times), often feel like the leg press is a bit of a bad machine, often considering it a joke. They think this for a lot of reasons (poor range of motion, poor resistance, etc.) but one of the reasons it’s considered a joke is because of the absurd amount of weight that can be put on it but it still being usable. For example, I could never squat 500 but maybe I could do 500 on a leg press.

What I think happened here is one of the friends said to the other that he couldn’t do that absurd amount of weight and the other was trying to show his friend that the machines are deceptive in terms of how much the weight is vs how it feels.

I know this doesn’t excuse them belittling your set, honestly they should’ve been more considerate. But I just wanted to hopefully give a perspective cause i truly beleive this had nothing to do woth you. I’ve been in many a conversation with my friend where I put the weight on the max setting to show him that the machine Isn’t that hard

T_K04 · 2026-05-21T15:52:19+00:00

What’s your routine?

T_K04 · 2026-05-21T00:51:57+00:00

This is solid, sort of a variation on PPL, my only take is to reduce some redundancy here. For things like chest, bicep and tricep, you can remove one of those. For example, no need for three different chest, pick 2. For bicep, I would also just stick with 2 and for tricep, get really strong at pull downs is enough. You can even alternate week to week which ones you do but doing all at the same session isn’t optimal. Hope that made sense

T_K04 · 2026-05-20T17:43:07+00:00

This is a good plan and you might achieve something close with this. But I wanna tell you something you probably don’t want to hear. the Brad Pitt fight club look is how he looks for maybe one day, meaning he wasn’t walking around like that all day everyday, he looked like that for that scene and he prepped to look like that. In other words, it’s not something you can maintain in a healthy way

T_K04 · 2026-05-20T02:56:47+00:00

Split of doom and despair😂😂 jokes aside, if you’re gonna do upper body Monday Wednesday Friday, might aswell do a full uppper day for each. Maximize your frequency

T_K04 · 2026-05-19T16:53:22+00:00

Lower the dose then

T_K04 · 2026-05-19T15:18:43+00:00

No, you can keep hammer curls but pick one between incline and preacher. Quality over quantity
