thx man. usually 5 lbs or 2.5 lbs. worked really well twice a week. one day i'd also do high volume bodyweight or 3x10 of around 60-70% of the 5x5

if strength is my goal its going to be more heavy pushing movements like a bench press as that is more relatable to real life situations like punching someone, pushing yourself off the ground with weight on your back, or pushing a very heavy object forward.

nice try though
hes not doing a 180 at all on optimal movement, hes literally showing optimal movement patterns for the lats you must be confusing his post

He’s saying the opposite. All movements are fine. Underhand chins and wide grip pulldowns are both OPTIMAL. Stop fretting over the perfect movement, pick whatever you enjoy and progress on it

so because he said that there is no 1 right way of doing things it means all ways are right? lol

strong misunderstanding for your own confirmation bias there sir
I dont fret over the "perfect" movement, I fret over PROPER and CORRECT movement. This is two different concepts. Stupid people like to do what you are doing/thinking, I encourage you to drop your ego a little bit there big man.
Doing heavy squats that only are signaling hypertrophy for the posterior chain when your intent is to grow your quads is NEVER going to grow your quads so you should NOT just keep doing it because you eNjoY dOinG wHatEvEr anD iT wiLl MaKe YoU sTiLL ProGreSs
you have no idea how many people in real life thank me for the info I put out and how extremely helpful/life changing it has been for their lifting. It is always people like you who think they know it all and are ego driven who challenge me. It is hilarious. You will spin your wheels constantly and argue with the guy twice your size who has invested 10x the time into researching and learning bodybuilding from the inside out.

Keep doing your cable flys with the cables perfectly aligned with the upper coastal pec fibres, and the rest of us will keep doing heavy weighted dips to build our chest and trisi mean that is really about all that was achieved with this but GJ I guess

I think someone has been doing a lot of stupid lifting and is butthurt that these people are saying that his routine is stupid and rather than learn/drop his ego he would rather argue with people more intelligent than he is.
Strong confirmation bias once again, keep seeking out only people who agree with what you currently believe and arguing with everyone else who has very well placed arguments for why what you do is not as beneficial. See how that works out for you.

Kinda weird, most of the biomechanics experts are usually juiced to the tits, and they claim that they got jacked by doing these "optimal" movements. Yet they all looked just as big when they were using conventional training styles and movements. You boyfriend Paul Carter used to be jacked af when he was powerlifting before he started training the way he does now. I'm pretty sure you got your size training like a meathead too

Actually I got most of my size when I dropped my ego and stopped caring about how much weight I was lifting, dead serious.

I just use body weight & added weight. So was hoping dips etc would be enough for tris. Hard to target triceps specifically tho with body weight stuff. There are sphinx push ups to do, but they are hard as fook, hard to scale down..

Even though oldboy up here thinks I just regurgitate stuff I actually simply just understand the physics of movement for lifting and how the body's different muscle groups work in relation to that and its quite simple what movements are correct and incorrect for stimulating the intended muscle.He can argue until he is blue in the face why I am wrong but hes arguing actual science that is pretty well understood by myself and clearly not him.

As long as I go up in weight i'm making gains. Im bigger and stronger training 3 days a week with minimal exercises in a poverty home gym than when I was spinning my wheels doing a bro split 6 days a week in an actual gym.

So calisthenic lads will have to rely on tricep growth from compound movements like dips. Or be strong enough to rep out sphinx push ups (very hard) to isolate tris?
We may well be fooked..
