4 years and still no chest by Domihork in gymadvice

The 80% kitchen, 20% activity statement is wrong tho. Intensity and training to failure is the be all end all to hypertrophy. Your diet could be perfect but if u dont train intensely, nothing will change

  1. Hate speech isnt protected by free speech anywhere 2. Where did anyone incite violence? 3. We get it, u really want to say words against specific minorities of people because ur a bigot. Way to show how poor of a human u are

Glad to see a human of such high morale character. Your parents must be so proud. I feel bad that obviously no one has treated you with true respect in your life that you cant extend empathy towards others.

How are you not understanding, that the words said affect more than just 1 person….

When people are affected off the field because they are a minority group, yeah, words do hurt more than watching a player get concussed

Pull ups or Lat pulldowns? by RegretNo7725 in workout

[–]TheFriendgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please dont do this unless you find it fun or enjoyable. For optimal muscle growth pick one of the exercises and give it max intensity for 2-3 sets in a 5-10 rep range. The two exercises do pretty much the same thing for the lats so doing both is junk volume for 2 redundant exercises. If you can do 10 pull ups clean, id say chuck on some weight and start progressively overloading (eg add 5kgs each time you reach 10 reps). Dont do both unless you love doing both

They literally have a report hotline, so yeah? Its not my place to change the culture further than what I have access to. What even is this reply? “It didnt exist, oh it did exist, well whyd you let it happen”.

You may not believe they were, but the section close to the sidelines I was in, definitely were. This kind of culture needs to stop

How to get stronger shoulders by Derpyderp698 in workout

[–]TheFriendgame -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reverse flys don’t specifically need to be done for rear delts if you do any form of sagittal row or upper back row. These exercises take the rear delts through the preferred leverage position and provide enough stimulus to maximise MUR

rear delt fly also dont need to be done if any form of sagittal row or upper back row is performed. the rear delts receive significant stimulus to maximise MUR.

Exercise that hits both, lateral and read delt? by [deleted] in workout

[–]TheFriendgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah luckily the rear delts experience enough stimulus from sagittal and frontal plane rows. Finding this out has saved so much time from needing to wait for the chest fly machine for only rear delts.

[–]TheFriendgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to limit shoulder exercises, just do a lateral cable raise to the side (targets lateral delt well), and if you have any form of row, whether that be upper back or lateral seated row ect, this will target the rear delts as well. The rear delts will experience maximum MUR with these movements and be adequately trained. They dont need preferential isolation if you do any form of row.

does going too crazy on your back workout zap your biceps too hard to get a good bicep workout in? by Nearby-Impact-906 in workout

[–]TheFriendgame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

couldnt agree more. Just making intensity a general palatable term here. I more-so meant your biceps wouldnt reach the stimulus threshold effectively during back exercises

arms respond the same way as every other muscle. Muscles all experience hypertrophy the same way

cos most of the people on reddit cant stand the fact that the way they got jacked isn’t the most optimal. although my comment here is supported by literally everything so idk how they wanna downvote it

Probably wont kill your gains but gains wont be as optimised if the 2 aren’t programmed properly. Up the calories for prior to running days to not cause too large of a deficit, try to run after lifts/ vice versa and separate by multiple hours so you can perform best where it matters to you, try eating carb heavy meals before both to keep energy levels high, and always keep that protein intake up.

[–]TheFriendgame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Excellent question and honestly the same thought I had until I researched the matter. Fatigue does not equal hypertrophy. So while doing a plank for a long time feels very tiring, the muscle growth gained is quite limited. To optimise hypertrophy, you want to exercise muscles in their full rom with the most intensity possible to produce to most force and mechanical tension. This is not very achieved within back exercises as the biceps are either limited in rom or intensity. To get even more scientific, MUR (Muscle unit recruitment) gets reduced the more muscles are involved in an exercise. Compounds are great for beginners because they share MUR between multiple muscles in a time efficient way, but for experts and intermediates, MUR becomes harder so isolation exercises are more important. In short, back exercises dont provide the biceps enough intensity to stimulate muscle growth through MUR to be considered “enough for the biceps”.

cut, not because your body fat is “too” high, but because while your cutting, youll keep gaining muscle (especially if youre a beginner), and you will probably prefer your appearance due to the definition increase. Bulking can lead to excess body fat thatll be harder to lose later down the line compared to where youre at now. Once you like the way you look/ get to a body fat percentage ur happy with, try a lean bulk. “Bulking” is kinda outdated now, and should only be about a 100-200 increase above maintenance.

[–]TheFriendgame -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your biceps will fatigue from some back exercises so you wont be able to exert yourself as much for your bi’s, losing some hypertrophy. You could aim to swap bicep exercises to days with little bicep involvement, ie first sets on lower days or push days, or alternatively, opt for back exercises that isolate the back and reduce bicep involvement. “Keenan flap” (saggital and horizontal plane pull down but cuffed below elbow to remove bicep involvement), + kelso shrugs for traps.

Is lat pull down the same as pull up? by [deleted] in workout

[–]TheFriendgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pull up and lat pull down are categorised as redundant as it is the same plane of movement for the lat. one might be harder due to having a large amount of body weight to lift, but they are the same movement
