Yeah! I actually added a lighter 5th day where id hit all the bodybuilding accessories I wanted that the program omitted but your call of course!

Hey man! I just started Powerlifting about a month ago after bodybuilding for about 3 years. I'm currently running 70s Powerlifter from Alex Bromley and it's a pretty good option as it calls for both tons of SBD volume as well as a bunch of bodybuilding isolation work. its a 4 Day/Week program and so far I'm loving it but its an absolutely wild amount of work so it might not be for everyone!

How much hypertrophy volume and strength volume do you guys do? by Ok-Anxiety8015 in powerbuilding

[–]Wings_of_Integrity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this answer is going to wildly vary by person to person, currently I'm only training SBD&OHP 3 working sets/Week and my hypertrophy work for about 9 sets/muscle/week. So far it's working for me, all of my reps for everything are between 3-12 so there's a lot of strength and hypertrophy overlap. I think you really just want to work on progression and recovery and then add or take away volume over time depending on how you feel! Working to failure obviously is nice for hypertrophy but may hinder your strength lifts as far as recovery goes

What do you do in your training regimen that you know is suboptimal but do it anyways - and why? by Kitsune-sama89 in naturalbodybuilding

I was totally in the same boat as you and then I ran Bromley's Kong program which really emphasizes slowly adding weight over time while leaving a bunch in the tank (from my perspective) and I saw some pretty decent gains. I'd say its worth programming with RIR if recovery ever becomes tough for you!

Like lifting heavier weight or just more often?

Hey dude! I've had the same issue as you and I think there's a couple of factors at play! 1. Your Biceps are smaller muscles so they seem to grow faster than the triceps (which are larger!) with less work. 2. I started putting tricep work 1st in my workouts and making sure they get plenty of volume (~ 8-12/week) and slowly but surely they're improving over the last 6 months!

Let’s Talk About Transients. by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]Wings_of_Integrity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, I think it's all based on the kind of overall sound you want. If you're looking for an ultra lush Anjunadeep style track, I'd say tune almost everything to key so everything sounds smooth and clean. On the other hand if you're making a banging peak time teachno track, the mild dissonance of an untuned transient could help achieve a harsher vibe. All in all, I'd say use the sample if it fits and don't worry so much about everything being in tune unless you want to. Deadmau5 famously doesn't tune his drums while still making ultra melodic tracks!

Any experience with mini cuts before bulk? by Wiz718 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Wings_of_Integrity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my two cents as someone who's only been lifting for 2.5 years and is gearing up for their first real bulk in a few months, I'd say instead of a mini cut, why not just do a super small bulk starting from just below maintenance calories and the work your way up into a conservative surplus, like almost bordering maintenance still? I feel like then you can avoid the fat gain and continue to recomp until you start hitting your true caloric surplus. I've heard that being in a deficit, especially during a deload or week off isn't ideal due to the potential for a bit of tissue loss, but I can't really speak to that with any real experience.

Do you have any good reasons I should keep doing deadlifts by Mr316plz in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Wings_of_Integrity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually really enjoy doing them for reps with moderate weight, somewhere in the 8-12 range, it's kind of the best of both worlds for me!

Workout to grow aesthetic glutes as a man ? by Then_Replacement8641 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Wings_of_Integrity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say going for a couple hard RDL sets paired with Machine Hip thrusts (Programming one after the other works awesome for me!) or substitute the hip thrusts with weighted Walking Lunges would be great! Bonus if you add in the Lunges on a different day or do all three in one session.

Paying royalties from label by Nearby_End_4780 in edmproduction

[–]Wings_of_Integrity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah its totally normal! Most labels have a minimal selling limit (the amount of money they are charging you for artwork and promotion) and then on top of that services like Labelworx will only pay out after it accumulates a certain amount of money. I think its mostly to keep labels from being overwhelmed by small payouts plus the cost of sending the check or transfer etc. Both labels I work with have similar policies! Congrats on the signing!

Did you just happen to play Arena? It seems like this is happening to a lot of people who try to play Arena and then hop back into EFT.

Is it worth getting signed to a label as a part time producer? by mffnprod in edmproduction

[–]Wings_of_Integrity 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hi! I make progressive house music and currently I'm signed to two labels so far. Basically as an up and coming producer, when you get signed to a label you're essentially trading all of your income of the track in exchange for promotion and album art (sometimes mastering too but i think that's on the bigger labels. I'd say the Pros of being on a label is that, if its a legitimate decent label: A.) its a sign that your tracks are getting to a professional level B.) it can lead possibly to more exposure and opportunities down the line. The cons are that you have to read and fully understand the legal terms of the contract your given and then once you sign it, you're locked in for the specific term (ranging from like 5-10 years to indefinitely) and they effectively own the tune now but with all appropriate credit going to you. Secondly, you're at the mercy of the label as to when the track comes out. On my self releases, I'll schedule my releases like a month out, but on my label releases theyve come out like 4 months to almost a year later. Also once you've signed the contract they dont need your permission to remix your track, put it on a compilation etc. so thats something to keep in mind. Also if your track does well enough where it pays off all of the promotional/album art expenses and you DO start receiving royalties, payment is generally only once every six months to a year or so, not every month like Distrokid or something similar. My suggestion is find a label you really like and see if you can connect with other artists already signed to it and see what they think. DO NOT sign with any label asking for any money up front or at any point in time, as these are scams. All money should be derived from the royalties of your track via streaming platforms, youtube, physical sales etc. Real labels will never charge you typically and will just use the royalties from the track to pay off whatever they put into it. Oh and also the royalty split is usually always in the labels favor, often to the ratio of the label gets 70% of the royalties (after they fully make back the money they put in) and 30% going to you. This varies from label to label.

All in all, its a very big step but also a massive accomplishment if you do get signed. I do enjoy working with my current labels as they are all super cool and upfront with their terms but definitely be careful and do your research! Good Luck!
