    Wise words. I'm sure I could be bigger than I am, but I'm here to do work and to keep doing work for a long long time. For me, that means education, rest, nutrition, more education, and a willingess to push hard AND slow down when my body needs it. I WILL work hard, but I will also rest, eat, and play hard. The gym serves me, I don't serve the gym, and I intend to be showing up there for another 60 years... at least.

    @@vipe650r👍👍👍 I’ve been lifting since high school and I’ve been a full time trainer/gym owner for 25 years. Focus on the primary lifts (Squat, dead, bench, dips, pull-ups, rows, military) those will give you most of your results. I cycle my reps from 4- 25. Going down/up to 25s/4s rarely. Staying in the 8-12s mostly. I train deep ranges of motions slowly. I go to failure rarely. Knock on wood, no injuries.🤞 if you get back pain, stretch your piriformis, psoas quads. Those are the usual offenders. For size eat more than you probably think you should. If you use AAS start with half what most people say ie: test/tren/anavar/dbol etc. For cutting I’d recommend low dose retatrutide. It’s new but the science is old. Peace bro ✌️

    Even though this may blow your mind, most people just want to be able to move and perform better in life. A lot Bodybuilding and strength exercises suck for this. In normal life we lift a lot of awkward things, which require the full body, with rotation at weird angles. Bodybuilding exercises don't replicate these moves.

Debbie might look weird on that cable machine but what you don't know is Debbie has to awkwardly lift 70lb boxes off a conveyor always on her right side. So if Debbie doesn't go to the gym and replicate that movement on her left side, she gets back pain from an imbalance. Everyone has different goals and people need to stop criticizing from the perspective of only getting bigger.

    I’ve always heard that you don’t have to touch your chest on an incline bench, but I’ve also always done it anyways just because it didn’t hurt me and felt good. It’s nice to finally have some validation for that feeling from someone who’s looked into the science.

    The general rule of thumb is that if your joints are getting at least a 90° bend on any exercise, then you're good. Some people will disagree, but the reality is that everyone has a different body type and modifications typically need to be made in most people's training for at least one exercise. So long as your muscles are actually getting activated, it's going to be beneficial.

    The "ego" part of the bottom ROM is real, for sure. As my hip, pelvis and lower back mobility and stability have improved I've been able to get deeper into just about every lower body lift and god damn. Going from 420 from a 90 degree leg press for 6+ reps to 320 and barely being able to get 6 reps is insane. On the other hand, despite the weight on the machine dropping by almost a third, I can actually get almost all the way down on a pistol squat and sissy squat now. Relative strength OP.

    1:09 I mentioned this in another comment, from a hypertrophy point of view, yes you are right that you can't produce as much power or build that muscle as with a solid base in a static exercise. However, for functional strength like we need in the military, where you might have to pick up heavy things under fire & off balance while trying to not get shot or picking up your buddy without optimum form, these are functional exercises that strengthen the peripheral muscles not strengthened while doing the major muscle exercises. Mixed with the traditional static exercises it has helped me reduce injuries in the long run.

I was 19 (and had lifted for 4 years) and he was 30 odd and well into his 22 years service when I questioned it. He basically told me I didn't know what I was talking about and I muttered something about him doing 1/4 squats for the same reason. He wasn't impressed.
