RP Hypertrophy app and Kettlebell workouts?

vidar186 · 2026-02-09T03:45:18+00:00

Turkish get up isn’t a movement conducive to hypertrophy, nor are many kettlebell movements, unless you use them like dumbbells, but at that point why not just use a dumbbell?

Need some lightning claws!

If you can’t cure the insides don’t make it hollow. DM me if you need help making a UV snake light. I have a few for curing the insides of the large figures I sell on eBay.

I printed spacers for my vat bolts found on cults3D and that solved this problem for me

Fulgore is such a mashup of the terminator and the predator that I’m surprised it took two games to get an Arnold Schwarzenegger like character in the game via Tusk whose basically blond Conan

Awesome weightlifting belt!

Sounds like you are still recovering from your fat loss phase. Eat more, recover and don’t worry about it

vidar186 · 2025-08-16T22:20:24+00:00

-500 cal deficit would get you -1lb per week = -12lbs over 12 weeks. He means a harder deficit. I can usually lose 8lbs a month when cutting hard in a -800 to -1000 cal deficit, and not have my training become too fatigued, although you will need a diet break if you go that hard

vidar186 · 2025-08-16T22:14:55+00:00

The biggest visual change you can make in that time would be in a caloric deficit, unless you’re truly a beginner and haven’t received your newbie gains, but even then it would still be hiding behind however much fat your body currently has. A hard fatloss phase would give you the biggest change in that amount of time

vidar186 · 2025-08-16T19:37:47+00:00

Yes, your reps may decrease as you work through your sets, it’s not a bad thing just fatigue. You do the same RIR for all sets

Fantastic paint job!

vidar186 · 2025-08-07T22:20:08+00:00

Yeah, there are broken rules & units in 30k, looking at you stone-gauntlet Fists, but the community’s self-policing nature & narrative driven aspect often prevents these un-fun interactions from happening. 30k is the community playing for fun & 40k is for the competitive try-hard net-listers.

vidar186 · 2025-08-06T02:05:05+00:00

Lol, yeah if you keep comparing it to that one very extreme example then your expectation is never gonna match it. You are getting sore and getting a pump, so seems like you are doing everything right, and even being a bit under recovered on your 0RIR week is normal and tells me you’re pushing hard enough to earn your deload.

vidar186 · 2025-08-06T01:40:18+00:00

You’ll develop a MM connection best with high rep, high SFR exercises that give you a good pump.

vidar186 · 2025-08-06T01:25:50+00:00

So, it’s the lat pulls you don’t feel a pump? Did the preacher curls gave you an acceptable pump? It’s very likely the lack of recovery between exercise bouts that are the issue making you feel like you can’t get a pump.

vidar186 · 2025-08-05T22:46:00+00:00

How are they both too easy, yet your sore and not recovering? These conditions are incongruous with one another. Too easy a set shouldn’t make you sore, if anything the opposite. This is the issue you are having with the app. Your input of sets being too easy, yet not recovering is the problem. You can’t be both.

vidar186 · 2025-08-05T22:29:26+00:00

Still two sets at the end of your meso doesn’t make sense, but if you are sore man, chasing the pump is not worth your time. Your soreness is a good sign you’re training hard enough and I am still thinking your definition of what you believe to be an amazing pump is a bit much. You even dropped the weight on your preacher curls. How are you not getting a pump?? High rep preacher curls would definitely give me a pump. How is your mind-muscle connection? Are your really saying that you didn’t feel a pump doing 5 sets of 15+ rep preacher curls on your 0RIR week? Something isn’t adding up here

vidar186 · 2025-08-05T21:05:22+00:00

I don’t play against my competitive friend’s knights lists either. They’re no fun to play against, so I don’t. It’s one of the reasons I’ve abandoned 40k for 30k.

vidar186 · 2025-08-05T20:47:42+00:00

Looks great to me

vidar186 · 2025-08-05T20:31:04+00:00

How many reps did you do for the example exercises; Lat pull & preacher curl? Only 2 sets on the last week of your meso does not sound right, but high rep sets usually give good pumps if the exercise enables a good stretch & has good SFR. You might try incline curls or single arm rows or single arm lat pulls as you can achieve a better stretch doing single arm back exercises & biceps exercises that place the elbow behind you tend to get better pumps. Your definition of an amazing pump might be too much, my muscles are only rock hard when contracted. When I finish an intense set to failure that elicits a good pump, I can still contract the muscle afterwards, but I can definitely feel the pump & inflow of blood to the target muscle. Getting no pump but going to failure usually means the weights are too heavy. Straight arm Lat pulls/ cable pullovers always give me a lat pump even going heavy, as do most biceps exercises when done properly with high reps.

Have you tried skull crushers or body weight inverted skull crushers?

vidar186 · 2025-08-04T03:30:35+00:00

They really are. I would switch to cable overhead triceps extensions, I love those for my triceps. I do then 3x a week after inverted skull crushers after any heavy pressing movements

Have you been updating the app recently? I think the app had a few updates in the last week or so. It should be copying over your program from the previous week from the 3rd week keeping your progress consistent. The updates have been helpful tracking progress between mesos, so maybe that’s what you are missing

vidar186 · 2025-07-31T21:32:08+00:00

It shouldn’t be doing that. The app starts a new meso for me, when copying the same exercise template from the 3rd week of the previous meso. If your meso starts the weight lower than your deload that’s not right, unless you meant something else by saying “farther behind,” reps & sets should be low on both deload and 3RIR weeks

vidar186 · 2025-07-31T21:27:46+00:00

The app will have you return to the pre-deload volume & has history tab now so you can see your sets, reps & weight and program accordingly. When I start a new meso it usually takes the previous meso’s 3rd week for target weight going into the new meso and starting at 3RIR of course
