Hell yes 🤘

Thank you, Tony 🍻

I wish I had learned this much sooner - I'd have fewer overuse injuries

@xmoogoox I didn't understand programming so I over trained though

Is the conditioning for general fitness and health? Or is it for a particular activity? The short answer is: go do physical things that bring you joy and it's probably a good idea to get a sweat in most days you're not training.

Glad you enjoyed it 🍻

Strength training = GPP. Maybe, but probably not And more for some people than others. But more weight on the bar for sure aids in the production of muscle mass for everyone, all the time. Recovery is nutrition and sleep first. No point in worrying about conditioning for recovery purposes until the more important stuff is taken care of. "Bodybuilding stuff" is meaningless. Muscles and people get bigger as a result of being exposed to a force production stimulus. For people not on drugs, the best way to do that is to load as many joints as possible with the heaviest weight possible. Isolation exercises and higher reps are done to manage stress once someone is strong enough that the frequency and loads required to continue getting bigger would be too difficult to manage using the big barbell lifts. Strength training = bodybuilding. It really is that simple.

@@startingstrength I guess you're saying it's a spectrum, if you had some maniac who was willing to eat, inject and sleep all day like a professional strongman, weightlifter or powerlifter, you'd throw as much at them as they could handle, but for gen pop it's more of an as an when required prescription if and when the big 5 slow down, and it's usually a case of looking at the method first. Playing with frequency, volume, intensity and then supplemental exercises before adding accessories. Is that pretty much right?

Yep. Start general, basic, and simple. Move towards complexity and specificity as necessary.

@@startingstrength Based

Just run a NLP 1st, then do whatever bodybuilding program. Your bodybuilding is going to go a lot better if you can squat 315 for 3 sets of 12 and bench 225 for sets of 12 than if you just start bodybuilding and you are squating 185 for sets of 12 and benching 135 for sets of 12. You won't find any weak bodybuilders and the light weight high rep scheme is a myth. When they say "light weight" they are quite literally talking about working sets of big lifts in the 200 to 400 lb range.

Cheers my good man 🍻

@@tomnaughadie had to look that one up. If you like Viking stuff, wait until you see our new "harder to kill" shirt. Coming this summer.

Thank you 🍻 What's your height and bodyweight? Last set of 5 on each lift?

@@xmoogoox 5 11, 195lbs, 215lb squat, 175lb Bench, 335lb Deadlift

@@vhalaroxgaming2251 careful not to let past performance influence future decisions. I recommend gaining at least 1lb per week of bodyweight assuming you don't miss training sessions, to get as much out of your novice gains as possible. You'll very likely gain a desirable ratio of fat/muscle.

Hahaha I had to google that

BMI is not a useful measurement for muscular people - it doesn't distinguish between lean mass and fat mass

@@xmoogooxwhy would you want to distinguish that? The heart can’t tell the difference

@@soonahero please explain

@@xmoogoox whether you’re obese from fat or muscle, lose weight. Or die

Yes. I work out alone for years now, never had an issue. That said, you've got to be a bit careful withthe bench press. Bench gone shit can kill you, so either you have someone spotting you, or you have some physical safety measures, like benching in a power rack with the safety bars adjusted to just the right height, so the weight coming down can't crush you, if you understand what i mean. Sorry, english isn't my first language.

Nick's one of those guys that you definitely want on your side

Haha he wouldn't dare cut those glorious locks

Carrying too much body fat is not great for your health, yep

@@xmoogoox you weight 300 lbs and squat 600 lbs it is still very bad for your health

@@THEMMAN3232 if you're 5'8", yep. 6'8", probably not.

Depends what you mean by overweight. Muscle Mass, All Fat, Mix of Each, working towards a Goal etc. that’s too broad a statement.

@@andrepastor4844 sounds like excuses to me. if your overweight your not healthy its not rocket science. hipsters always tryna complicate shit 😂💀
