Hey guys. (before i enter the real topic checkout my chest day from months ago if you're interested) Today I'm going wham and recording about 5 videos all at once. Here's a sneak peak on what each will be about, and if you have anything you'd like me to cover, let me know. Could be interesting, and it'd be great to add stuff people care about. - How to Become Tai Lung - Honestly this video requires me to scrap a lot potentially. And also to potentially record some additional stuff. It was part of a project that got reinvented into something for later. - Do You Train Forearms? - This video asks the simple question, do you train forearms, is this really worth it, are we all wasting our time with this? I also start a mini study in the comments. - Stupid in the Gym - This video has me watching some of the worst gym decisions, and also talking about some of what I've seen. All to convince people you can do anything in the gym and it'll be okay. - Bedwars Lazy Bodybuilder - This video shares my origin story of playing bedwars and being a bodybuilder, and how when I had nothing in my life, I was actually worse of for it. - Is the OHP worth it? - Discussing the benefits of the OHP, if there's variants that are going to be more useful, and where I position it in my week to week structure.

so most people dont know much about powerlifting and assume its just bbing with more emphasis (idk if thats how you spell it) on compounds, mainly the big 3. here are the main differences i could find between bbing (bodybuilding) and pling (powerlifting) programs volume: pling has higher volume compared to bbing on average, and lot of that volume is focused on the big 3. bench for 3-5xweek, squat 2-3 times and dl 1-2 times. focusing on volume more than intensity in a variety of set rep ranges, usually singles (1 rep) doubles (2) triples (3) 4 reps, and 5 reps. but also ranging to as much as 12 reps sometimes. instead of going to failure and staying in a rep range usually anywhere from 5-12 reps for bbing, with pling you trust the spreadsheet and go for the exact amount of reps it tells you to. even if its 4 rir. intensity: bbing intensity is more consistent than pling intensity, where in bodybuilding you're gonna aim for 0-1 rir for all sets. with powerlifting sets can be anywhere from amrap to 6 rpe. sets in powerlifting are often followed by backdowns (dropsets with rest, that have lower rpe than your top set) to add extra volume without as much fatigue as a full set, some bbing splits do dropsets or half reps for extra volume/intensity but its not as common as backdowns in pl. periodisation: with bbing you can stay on the same exercises for as long as you like, and as long as youre training well and seeing progressive overload you'll see results. with pling you do different mesocycles for as often as each week to reduce fatigue and gradually increase frequency/have some weeks focused on specific aspects. generally in powerlifting, the fatigue to stimulation ratio for muscle growth is a lot less than ideal as youre focusing on big compounds for little reps and high volume. but i was wondering, how compatible do guys you think bodybuilding and powerlifting are? and how good do you think the powerlifting approach is for building muscle? i personally do bbing focused program, but with 3 sets of deadlift (almost no eccentric 💯) 3 sets of bb squats and 5 sets of bench (2 of those are 6 rpe). I'd personally remove those sets and replace them with machine exercises if i switched to a complete bbing program but i find strength gains pretty fun. would like to know how/if you incorporate any powerlifting elements in your bbing split or vice versa 🗣🗣

feels weird posting this since all posts here are super high quality but it is what it is I've been getting this sharp pain in my wrist running up to the back of my hand when i apply external pressure to my wrist, both when its maximally flexed or extended, though it hurts more when its flexed. I've had this for about a week. could it be from benching? on a side note, how much arch on bench is too much arch for bbing?

Today we’ll be having a coaching call (check the calendar). This is a time we can go over what’s going on in your life you need help with, and this isn’t just with training. If you have time record some form videos, bring your routine, your diet. I’m here to help in any way I can. It’s also a chance to ask questions and drive what I put out in this community. If you want bring a friend along, you guys are lucky this community is free right now as I’ll do anything to help you reach your goals. Definitely hitting paid sometime soon (dw ab you OGs). I’m about to go hit the gym on a rice cracker and 600mg of caffeine, leg day and cardio. I might be a little slow speaking on the call. I’ll see you there.

Like I said in the title. Why are seed oils not bad? In my experience, seed oils have never done any good for me. For example, some time I ago I fell into a massive rut. Didn’t care about my diet or anything (I still kept working out tho). In specific, I began eating things with seed oils. And after a couple months, I noticed that my gyno felt a bit heavier. Which is weird because it had been the same for quite a while and I wasn’t obese. As far as I know, I wasn’t going anything that would really have increased my estrogen as well other than consuming seed oils.
