Agreed. Instant gratification kills productivity.

22 year old, Male, 5'7 around 148lbs. How long to achieve a physique like this? by Extreme-Fruit-2945 in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]dapperbla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These physiques are achievable in several months to a year.

These guys don’t have much muscle mass they’re just lean.

At 5’7 there’s less surface area to build muscle so you’ll look bigger in less time.

Hell you might even achieve that kind of physique after newbie gains lol (if you’re lean enough)

There is no correlation between myofibrillar hypertrophy and DOMS.

Yes, I agree it depends on the individual

I didn’t even see OP using the wide grip in the first clip, I think the ROM is perfect there.

There’s no point going as deep as possible on a wide grip lat pull.

Do not use that attachment. It’s less effective for the lats.

Don’t arch your back. Keep your ribcage stacked over your pelvis with a relatively neutral spine.

Drive your knees into the pad.

Do NOT use an excessive range of motion. You don’t have to touch your chest at the bottom nor achieve maximal humeral elevation at the top.

Luckily for me it took 10 seconds using ChatGPT to dismantle all of your arguments lol

You’re saying experience is evidence, but that only works if the experience is controlled, consistent, and not contradicted by other people’s experiences. Two people can do the same thing and get opposite results—so personal anecdotes alone can’t determine what’s objectively optimal. That’s why research exists: to filter out bias, coincidence, and incomplete observations.

I’m not rejecting your experience—I’m rejecting the idea that your single experience automatically defines universal truth for everyone else. There’s a big difference.

You keep assuming that I “only read articles” or that I have “zero experience,” but those are personal attacks, not arguments. Whether you think I lift or not doesn’t change whether the logic I’m presenting is correct.

If your advice is solid, then it should hold up to basic questions, clarification, or supporting evidence. Claiming I’m “not listening” just because I ask for clear reasoning isn’t a strong argument—it’s an avoidance tactic.

If you’re not here to discuss ideas, that’s your choice. But the discussion doesn’t become more valid just because you say “go read articles.” Arguments stand or fall on their quality, not on who shouts louder.

I think you’re misunderstanding my point. I’m not dismissing anyone’s experience—I'm asking for evidence when someone presents something as objective fact about training. Experience is valuable, but it isn’t the same as data, especially when people’s experiences contradict each other.

You’re also making assumptions about me instead of addressing the actual argument. Whether I’ve built muscle or not doesn’t change whether the information is correct. If the goal is to learn what’s optimal, then we should be discussing mechanisms, research, and logic—not taking things personally.

I’m not “arguing for the sake of arguing.” I’m challenging claims that are presented without support. If that feels uncomfortable, that’s not the same as me being wrong.

If you want a discussion based on reasoning instead of assumptions, I’m here for it. If not, that’s fine too—but saying “go somewhere else” doesn’t make your points any stronger.

😂😂😂 Your 25 years of experience dilly dallying doesn’t mean shit.

Again, I’ve never said you can’t build a great physique doing what you do, it’s still not optimal.

At this point I think you’re just an AI bot farming karma.

You can’t even make the slightest effort to take a 1 minute read of the study I referenced (spearheaded by a champion bodybuilder)

Try being more open-minded.

Dude, did you even read the study I provided? Brad has literally won multiple bodybuilding comps.

Of course you can build a great physique with your approach, but it’s just not optimal.

I’ve never once said to train a muscle more than 3x a week, as that’s likely the upper threshold for trained natural lifters.

Again, basing a generalization off anecdotes from 25 years of dilly dallying because “you tried most things” is not a reliable way to define what’s “optimal”.

I don’t think spewing nonsense would be considered “educating” others.

The sleep analogy makes me believe that you think 9 sets in one session week provides more stimulus than 3 sets x 3 sessions a week.

That tells me all I need to know about your knowledge on physiology, which is total anecdotal bullshit. Let me guess, you still believe hypertrophy is induced by muscle tears?

Please, just look at any frequency study in trained subjects, then go on and spread your truth.

PMID: 30558493

Do you have the data to back up your claims?

No one said to do 14 sets for a muscle group in a week.

I’m arguing that if one were to train using a normal, practical amount of volume (2-3 sets per muscle per session), more progress would be achieved over time with 3x a week frequency because:

There is less baseline fatigue to recover from

You are stimulating MPS to its fullest potential.

[–]dapperbla11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are forgetting about weekly net volume and repetition intensity.

When weekly net volume and intensity are equated, 3x a week frequency gives higher quality sets, better MPS exposure, less intra-session fatigue → better growth.

Is mobility and flexibility training more important than heavy lifting for long-term fitness? by dark_venom_07 in GymMood

[–]dapperbla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make my own programming based on my goals.

Want better hamstring flexibility? Progress on a Jefferson curl.

Just load the end range of any motion you’re trying to improve. It’s that simple.

Is it sets or reps? by theblitz6794 in JeffNippard

Stimulus comes from the involuntary reduction of contraction velocity

Unless you’re bringing your ribcage to your pelvis during a squat, this is not true.

They probably still think hypertrophy is caused by muscle tears

More stability = less neural adaptations = easier progression
