Doing myo-reps, I'm generally only in the gym for 45 minutes. Usually there is only one "big" compound each day. I could see definitely see how it might go faster if you don't have to wait for equipment or rearrange the workout because certain pieces are unavailable half the time you are...

Yeah I miss my home gym setup I once had. Power rack, leg press, dip station, a cable setup where I could do any cable exercises and a couple thousand pounds worth of plates. Stupidly sold it all years ago when I had to move a few hundred miles. The place I rent right now has no spot for a...

You don't generally do myo-sets every workout nor on all lifts in a workout. If you were lifting 4 days a week on an upper/lower or push/pull split, you would have a regular style workout on day 1 and 2, then on day 3 and 4 you would have some lifts you do with conventional sets, then a few...

Pretty sure occlusion is a form of sorcery.

Oh, I don't go to the recent activity one. I go to the one that says 'postings' then scroll down to the bottom and pick 'find all content by...' then finally on that one, I can go to the last page and find the older posts link that shows everything.

Are you doing this on a PC or through a mobile device? When I view your profile and go to 'find all content by NWlifter' it does initially only show me a couple years back. But there is a link at the bottom of the last page, as you can see in this screenshot I attached that lets me view your...

Stupid gym moved, they combined with another location that's further from home. So I can't go lift at my normal time as easily anymore. On to top it off, the other location is a lot busier... So I haven't lifted in almost two weeks. I think I'll have to get myself on a 3 day a week version...

Have you tried deadlifts from the top?

yeah, progression is the key, always has been. Same reason why people who get stronger tend to grow and people who don't gain any strength (bad programming, bad diet, whatever) tend to look the same from year to year.

wrt to focusing on flexing while lifting - this only seems to really matter much when using lighter loads since you can enhance the occlusion effect as in something like myo-reps. By lighter loads, I mean something like 20-25RM like you'd use for myo-sets.

If you're going to do extra work to get bigger arms, you should work on triceps rather than biceps anyway. That's the only thing that ever made a difference for me, and seemed to offer any carry over to compounds. I mean yeah, you can do both if you really want but if it's not making a...

Seems like auto-regulation would take care of this.

Seems like something more yielding like that would work well for board presses. In the past, I just set the safety rails on the rack a little high to simulate board presses, but it was kind of jarring, didn't feel good at all. Shaf's ladder technique for benching seemed to work well for me wrt...

Pushups yes, overhead pressing not so much. For shoulders it seems best to use machines with myo-reps. Pushups are great with myoreps though.

Have you tried floor presses for the triceps? They aren't convenient to do in my gym so I haven't been doing them, but in the past they seemed to help. I'm in the same boat. Long arms, fairly wide rib cage, shitty bench numbers compared to others with similar mass. Drop sets on triceps, and...

I'm just doing the myo-reps intermediate template, push/pull split 4 days a week, but tailored to what I have available in my local gym, and what is easy to get access to do during the time I'm there. Day 1: Squat 3 x 6-9 Bench 3 x 6-9 Shoulder Press 2 x 9-12 Tricep Extensions 2 x 9-12 Day 2...

I tried to attach a picture, hopefully it worked. The pump had them just over 18...

Currently on week 4 with myo-reps. I haven't been controlling calories, just kinda letting hunger guide me without doing anything obviously stupid until I adjust to this. But damn... I must have been really carb depleted or I'm just storing a lot more because I've gained about 15 lbs. Skin...

Idk something like this might work better:

Wow. Havent properly squatted in a long time. 315 felt fine as a warmup but gotta toughen up my traps to hold the bar. Should have been able to get 6 reps with 405 but stopped after 3. I'll probably stick to more of the 300 lb range and 9 rep sets instead until the shelf is rebuilt.
