It's science. #bodybuilding #Fitness #lifting #workout #gym

This guy definitely drinks his own piss. ... is what someone commented on my last video when I reacted to one of his clips. And while I can’t confirm whether or not that’s true, I can confirm that sitting straight on the leg extension is not the reason your quads aren’t growing. Not saying leaning back is wrong - it very well might be superior due to the increased lengthening of the rec fem in that position, and there is some data to support that - but the actual long term difference would still likely be minor overall if there is one. There’s this thing called ‘magnitude of difference’ that fitness influencers love to ignore, since it doesn’t make for a very catchy hook to say “here’s a small form tweak that MIGHT help you gain a few % more growth in one head of the quads”. If your leg extension machine reclines, go for it. But if it doesn’t, you’ll still be getting a near maximal to maximal quad stimulus regardless. #bodybuilding #Fitness #lifting #workout #gym

I’ll never be the one to claim that high volume training “doesn’t work”. That obviously flies in the face of reality, and plenty of people still build great physiques with it. But just because you *can* build your biceps with 20 sets of curls per week doesn’t necessarily mean you needed that much. Kinda like how you can spin around 5 times under the doorframe before walking through... or you can just walk straight through and accomplish the same thing. If you’re truly training close to failure (around 1 rep in reserve on average), about 3-10 sets per muscle per week is pretty solid as a general across the board volume recommendation. I don’t think most people would need more than 8 but I’ll give a bit of leeway, especially if you’re categorizing “back” as one muscle group even though it’s made up of several. Since the biceps already receive stimulation on most compound pulling movements for the back, they’d sit at the lower end of that range. I personally do 2 sets of curls once every 4-5 days on average with my current program. I’ve done as little as 1 set per week in the past and still made consistent progress. Again, not saying higher volumes aren’t effective, and if you’re always leaving several reps in the tank then you will need more total sets to compensate. But if you’re genuinely training hard, you’ll be surprised at how little is actually needed to maximize your rate of progress. #bodybuilding #Fitness #lifting #workout #gym

If you’re over the fitness influencer f*ckery and want a legit program that maximizes gains without the fluff, reminder that my new TrainWise app is now live — and 25% off for the next week. Get more info at TrainWiseApp.com (link in bio). As for this specific exercise (which I've seen in my feed quite a few times)... If for some reason you really enjoy it and keeping the bar balanced isn’t an issue for you then I guess go ahead. But there’s nothing advantageous about it and it’s not going to cause you to “finally notice your deltoids growing”. If you want the most output from your side delts then just use a stable implement like a dumbbell, cable or machine. #Fitness #gym #workout #bodybuilding
