So if weights are going down, but I'm gaining weight, does that mean I'm gaining fat and losing muscle, or am I still gaining muscle, but just too...
I only really care about long term muscle gain. My tendency is to try to always do more, but I've started to worry that this may actually hurt my...
Not exactly. Calorie surplus leads to weight gain. We train so that our ratio of fat gain vs. muscle gain is optimal. Obviously, a calorie surplus...
I'm trying to develop my understanding of the relationship between volume and recovery. Tell me if the following is true: Gaining weight without...
I probably will. I also got a hand dynometer yesterday, so we'll see what that tells me. Always morning
I'm just setting a timer and taking my own pulse.
Nope. And except for Christmas eve, my sleep has been on point.
I've been monitoring morning heart rate since the original post. I was at 55 bpm consistently during SD. I'm in the third week of my HST cycle,...
I just read this article from Greg Nuckols about using biometric feedback to adjust your training day to day. He gives good examples of how you...
I read that article a few weeks ago. I've been lifting explosively ever since. My real question is more generally about the reasons for staying...
It's just another way to devide muscle groups. The same reason you would do an upper/lower split. I'd be curious to hear more about why you don't...
It would seem with myp reps you end up doing a larger portion of the reps close to failure. I have another question about 'leaving one in the...
1. How is clustering different from myo reps? 2. Are myo reps and clustering better suited for linear progression, or would 15, 10, 5, perhaps...
In my understanding; having too much belly fat will impact your leptin, which can make it harder to gain muscle. Based on that I would cut. For...
Two well written articles with opposing implications regarding protein. Which one wins?...
http://www.strengtheory.com/speed-kills-2x-the-intended-bar-speed-yields-2x-the-bench-press-gains/ Very interesting article. I'd be curious to...
Last winter I had great success with an HST program I designed based on things I read on this site. I want to try switching things up a bit this...
Great article. It seems more intuitive to go for more high effort sets than a certain number of reps. You end up going close to failure more times...
For hypertrophy then?
Isn't it the general consensus that total reps matters more than total sets?
Separate names with a comma.
