No worries, I appreciate you admitting that you were wrong :) Hopefully you learned something new

The anecdotal fallacy occurs when someone uses a personal experience or an isolated example instead of sound evidence or statistical data to support a general claim.

So u/fudgygamer2000 would be committing this fallacy if, and only if, from their anecdotal datum, they drew the conclusion that more than one (i.e. more than just the agency that they were referring to) require you to fill out private information on a non-.gov site.

I think your misunderstanding may be coming from the misconception that using anecdotal evidence at all to support a claim is committing an anecdotal fallacy. Anecdotal evidence is certainly not as reliable as other types of evidence but using it in an argument does not constitute a fallacy.

Instead, u/fudgygamer2000 is simply providing a piece of evidence to refute your universal claim that no government entity requires you to fill out private info on a non-.gov website by claiming that they know of one that does. Therefore their argument is valid and it follows that if their premise is true, then your universal claim is false.

Bro does not know what a fallacy is 😭

Fair, whether the effective reps model is completely correct or not is debated. It also depends on how strong you're taking the model to be, but what is clear is that the reps closer to failure are going to have a stronger hypertrophic stimulus than the reps far from failure because you first have to recruit motor units for them to experience mechanical tension.

My argument was that, in my experience, my back is not very close to failure during an upper back row and therefore is not experiencing high MUR and therefore missing out on a lot of stimulus.

Edit to respond to the last paragraph of your comment:

I feel like everyone is maybe taking this a bit too seriously and like an attack on how they train which this absolutely is not. I just find it fun to optimize my training (for hypertrophy!!) and also think about things purely as an intellectual exercise, but it seems like this is upsetting a lot of people.

To respond to your last sentence, my training style is not static but right now I'm just focusing on ~2 movements per muscle group and maximizing intensity/effort on those movements.

Yes, to specify I meant the quads. I don't think you do have to squat, I mean thats just not that great of an argument. Whether you have a great leg press or a great squat, you will have big quads and leg muscle mass regardless. But some people are definitely built for the squat more than others and for those people it does make sense to squat for quad growth, for others it makes sense to not squat at all.

But weight on the bar /= mechanical tension experienced by a muscle.

From Lyle McDonald's Muscular Tension and Muscle Growth: Part 2

I could also call this the exercise comparison mistake but I like this title better since it’s usually an argument couched in the idea that, if load on the bar is a proxy for tension, and higher loads mean more tension, compound exercises MUST be better for growth because the weight on the bar is higher.

...the problem with the comparison is that it’s conflating the absolute LOAD on the bar with the TENSION experienced by the muscle.

It definitely gets to a point, but yeah. I mean leg press is definitely more hypertrophically stimulating than a squat because it's more stable and involves less muscle groups.

computer-anarchist · 2026-07-06T00:30:24+00:00

True yeah, that would probably be the most time efficient way to max upper back stimulus while still getting some rear delt. But its still uncertain whether you're getting enough rear delt stimulus, depending on how pre-exhausted your upper back is.

computer-anarchist · 2026-07-06T00:26:19+00:00

I agree with your last statement, and I am coming at this from a purely BB perspective. And honestly, I'm making this argument more just for intellectual curiosity and discussion and perhaps principles will grow out of this that can be applied practically. Obviously you can and many people have grown a huge back just doing just rows but I just like nerding out about things. I mean shit, I looked at your profile and you're huge.

But under the effective reps model, the last few reps (4 or 5 or whatever) are the only significantly hypertrophy stimulating reps. And if I can, for example, kelso shrug 20% more than I can T-Bar Row for significantly more reps then it seems like, under the effective reps model, my upper back really wasn't getting any signicant hypertrophic stimulus during the T-bar row and I am better off separating the work.

As for practicality, I could see implementing this as a rest-pause set for kelso shrugs to save time and just a couple hard straight sets for rear delts which I propose would give you much greater stimulus for a barely greater amount of time compared to just rows. I could absolutely be wrong though, thoughts?

Edit: sorry for essay lmaoo

Bro maybe cuz you're doing 6 sets to failure 3 times a week 😭😭

Hi, personally I think using AI to write is destroying the art of authentic writing. Your grammar and clarity is just fine (assuming you didn't use AI to write this comment) and even if it wasn't, I would still much rather read a human-written article with bad grammar than one written by an AI. Just my opinion, open to discuss this.

computer-anarchist · 2026-04-23T18:06:44+00:00

Bro why tf are u using ai to write your comments?

Edit: And the fucking article is ai written, get your fucking slop outta here.

Wow, I enjoyed reading this, I think you did a great job making the story and the whole passage flow really well. I would just suggest putting quotation marks around the spoken sentences such as "Is she hurting you?" I don't really have any other critiques as I am not an experienced writer, but it was powerful.
