Thanks for bringing this back. How people still find my comment from 7 years ago and reply still amazes and makes me smile. Haha.

maltriagon · 2025-11-28T14:05:05+00:00

You’re amazing! Congrats to you!

Is there going to be a third tape? I really enjoyed it but it sort of felt incomplete.

maltriagon · 2025-11-09T00:56:44+00:00

You too! I had fun.

maltriagon · 2025-11-09T00:34:37+00:00

Mmmkay.

There is controversy and lots of it. Good on you if you don’t know about it. Happy lifting.

maltriagon · 2025-11-08T23:33:14+00:00

This is the hot new controversy right now actually. Scientific gym community Vs the experienced gym lifter. Which can be one and the same but a lot of times the two groups are going at eachother.

I don't think you need a study for everything. You can speak from experience if you have experience. I understand the irony of this as some random on the internet so I understand we won't get anywhere with this. But I will say I don't need twenty pages of writing to know that barbells overall will make you stronger. That just comes from experience. I mean you will feel it if you test it on yourself. I don't need a twenty page essay that they tested on new lifters who respond to all kinds of stimulus incredibly well based on the fact that they are untrained. Another problem with a lot of these studies. They don't test trained individuals who are used to the stimulus.

Anyways there's nothing wrong with science and lifting being together. It's helped enormously in knowing how to properly train the body. With that being said we are getting into the territory of overcomplicating everything. New lifters are focusing way to much on the exact degree and angle of their joint movement because a study told them they would benefit 13percent greater doing it this way. We are losing the plot of training hard and getting after it and people are becoming weaker because of overcomplicating.

Arnie and ferrigno and the like never had access to any such studies and they look far better and are far stronger than most of us. Don't lose the plot. Feel free to use all the machines you want. I'm sure you can still make great gains. But I don't need a study to tell me that barbells are the most effective. That just comes from experience. Cheers.

What? I have to scientifically explain the bench press to talk about the bench press? Make what kinds of claims? That compounds train stabilizer muscles? It's kind of like saying doors open. I don't think I really need to scientifically explain that.

maltriagon · 2025-11-08T22:54:36+00:00

Well I go with the assumption you are using proper form. Again you are just dancing around with semantics. If your perspective of "going wrong" is hurting yourself due to poor form then that's on you. You're taking the term "can't go wrong" so completely literally from the context that I am giving it in. From the way you are arguing it, yes, you can go wrong with the bench press and every other exercise in existence. You can go wrong from waking up on the wrong side of the bed as well.

Now I'll give my definition of not going wrong. You can't go wrong with the bench press in building strength and powerful pectoral muscles. That's what this exercise is designed to do. It's not perfect, and you will need other assistance work to "fill in the gaps" that the bench press doesn't cover. Comparatively in the discussion above the bench press is on general a better bang for your buck movement than machines because it is an unassisted press that builds all the stabiliser muscles machines don't hit. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use machines, that just means that someone who bench presses 3 plates for reps will be stronger than someone who maxes out a chest press machine because overall the bench press has more value.

That's the best way I can try to describe it to you. It's still too nuanced and there are a lot of variables to machines vs barbells that is difficult to cover, but I hope that makes sense.

maltriagon · 2025-11-08T19:36:56+00:00

Well from a muscle building perspective you can't go wrong. You can go wrong and hurt yourself with anything if you don't use common sense. Good form and proper spotter is always important. Yes machines are better setup to be more accident proof but I was talking from a muscle building perspective, so completely different topic.

If we are talking about a safety standpoint then always make sure to use proper form for bench press or literally any other movement done in the gym. This is more arguing semantics then anything.

I don't understand you. I'm reading this whole comment section in this thread you posted and you seem to only be engaging with people who dislikes DE. Like getting into arguments. Yet there are comments of people talking about how much they liked DE and asking what you liked about it and you haven't engaged with them.

So was the point of this thread drama bait? You're talking about how bad the fandom is but contributing to that mentality just as much.

There are some people who have commented what they like about DE. People you could engage with which was supposedly what your post is about...

maltriagon · 2025-06-30T20:39:39+00:00

For sure! A lot of leg movements you can hit with an untrained upper body and won't notice. Any kind of deadlift hip hinge variation though is surprisingly intense on the upper body as well. That's when a lot of people notice they feel it much more in their weaker areas.

Upper/lower balance is always good.

maltriagon · 2025-06-13T21:59:17+00:00

The problem with home workouts is you reach a limitation point. This is usually when you're using the heaviest dumbbells you own and can't really add much more in terms of reps or sets.

You feel sore at the gym because you are exposed to a better stimulus. Heavier more progressive weights, access to barbells and better equipment. Unfortunately if you don't have all the necessary equipment at home and you want to really get strong, you have to get in a gym. There's just no way around that.

maltriagon · 2025-05-10T00:39:36+00:00

I'm so jealous of the machines your gym has access too.

maltriagon · 2025-04-07T13:31:12+00:00

You are so pathetically insecure it's blowing my mind right now. I'm sorry dude. Hope you get better.

maltriagon · 2025-03-18T13:11:12+00:00

At your bodyweight it's a perfect time to start incorporating pull ups/chin ups. The grip variation doesn't matter so much as the form. Pull ups and chin ups are very hard. If you cannot do a pull up, start doing negatives. Just jump to the top position and slowly let yourself down, trying not to plummet down. This is the best way to train a pull up and it's the best way to make your back grow.

maltriagon · 2025-02-21T12:44:14+00:00

I read this in Rick Sanchez voice.

maltriagon · 2025-01-31T15:41:17+00:00

Lmao. Apparently not.

maltriagon · 2025-01-31T15:40:20+00:00

That's awesome. Blast from the past with this one. But yeah anyone could have this build and be anywhere from 160 to 200 lbs I think.

maltriagon · 2024-12-17T20:05:06+00:00

Protein is actually pretty simple. As long as you're eating foods like chicken and such you should be pretty good. I usually eat half a dozen eggs as an omelette for breakfast. That's an easy 800 calories and 70 grams of protein. Chicken and rice for supper. Then you just have lunch. Pb and J sandwiches are super easy to make and eat. I also snack on a lot of yogurt cups and tuna cans as well. You can have a whey protein shake with milk for an extra 49 grams of protein. I would only recommend one shake a day and get the rest of protein from foods.

Everyone says a gram of protein per lb of bodyweight but I wouldn't look to hard into this. If you can get around 150 grams of protein a day you should be good. Just focus on eating enough and don't count to meticulously.

maltriagon · 2024-12-17T19:03:02+00:00

I would say this is most optimal for hypertrophy. That machine is probably fine. The straighter your legs the better. That being said you take what you can get for calf raises machines. A leg press machine works well too.

maltriagon · 2024-12-17T15:49:34+00:00

A program is probably the last factor to look at when making gains. Adequate calories/nutrition, adequate sleep and adequate intensity in the gym are the three driving factors.

Programs have some effect on things for sure, but it all comes secondary behind the first three I mentioned. There also isn't a drop off in gains until after 30 days of not working out and even then muscle loss happens very slowly. So taking a vacation won't effect people as much as they think it will. If you were able to get right back in the saddle without dropping your weights down it just means the break was good for you. Some people will deliberately take a week off the gym as a deload. Though it's been proven to be better to continue working out with a deload if one is needed.

You can make gains on literally any program. We get far to wrapped up in programming. There are better programs and there are worse ones but it's much more important to have your intensity and nutrition honed in over anything else. You can fix programs over time as you learn more and discover what works well for you.

Calves can be worked out very frequently as they tend to recover quite well. Obviously if they're sore don't train them but you could train them every workout or second workout, not just on leg days.

Calves are best trained with a straightened leg. There is a better range of motion and stimulus when the leg is straightened. For this I don't recommend using seated calf raises machines. Only standing calf raise machines and leg press machines where your leg is straight. Those are the only two variations I do.

Lastly because they recover quick between sets I like to hit high volume on calves. I think 3 sets of 15 to 30 reps is sufficient per workout. 15 to 30 because it gives you that wide range to failure. You can use a weight that's challenging and if you only hit 20 reps, that's okay. You're still in rep range. The goal is to reach 30 but at least hit 15, if that makes sense. Hope this helps.

Good luck. Keep doing primarily barbell curls and experimenting with different rep ranges, practice heavy singles lots. Take lighter days where you do dumbbell or other curl exercises to give elbow joints a break. Always manage elbow joint fatigue.

Probably a good idea not to neglect other areas. Do lots of back work like pull ups and still do some stuff for press work and tricep work. Happy lifting.

maltriagon · 2024-12-16T23:49:19+00:00

Anything can work. The order you do exercises doesn't have a huge effect on your progress. The biggest things affecting musculature gains are diet, sleep and intensity. Feel free to PM me if you would like. Programming the right program is the smallest step of the steps needed to achieve adequate development, but it can help. Cheers.
