Can I use those bands for my 12yr old son

Nah train arms don't end up like me

If you're getting enough stimulus for arm development from the rest of your sets one (or multiple) of several things is happening. 1. You are a newby lifter and everything you do makes you grow. 2. You are training unsustainably. 3. You're content to have disproportionate arms or can't tell the difference. 4. You started with bigger arms and smaller chest/back/legs and now you're starting to be proportionate. 5. You're gifted with amazing receptor genetics in your arms and simply don't need to train them often if at all. If you're a fellow commenter reading this like me who doesn't have any of these conditions and has to do additional bicep work or tricep work multiple days a week as accessories to major compound lifts and core bodybuilding movements, don't let this guys arrogance distract you from reaching your goals. For the vast majority of lifters with hypertrophy goals, hitting arms 2-3 times a week is only "junk volume" if you simply don't care about arm development.

Awesome point buddy! I think yearly may be too long to test those. Instead I'd do it after every major training block/season (~4x/year). What do you think?

@@holteener14 yea that is more logical. especially given the speed at which the body makes adaptations

Also your agility, reaction time, movement patterns and pain in certain areas when moving naturally, alot having to do with reset time and pull speed

None of those things make you Athletic lol.

i guess you could go for ppl/upper lower 2 times a week with a low rep explosive session and a high rep session

@@Ty-oe4dr Yea, good split!

It's about that strength/power to weight ratio obviously

@@Miiiiiiighty seems like it just comes down to power. For your given weight, how much X your weight can you move at or under 2m/s. For all elite level athletes, that's going to be around 3X+.

How do you improve your mobility

Holyfield and Tyson both had a ton of muscle mass

@@Harrison-yn7rj flexibility plus use workout bands to develope muscle elasticity to be more mobile and explosive instead of a slow muscle with some push

@@David-ty5jk are they resistance bands

@@Harrison-yn7rj yea. Also cable Machines are the better alternative to hit every head and direction of movement patterns as well as being able to use these cable machines to work with your natural movements and not work against them like most weights how they lock up your movements and shorten your range of motion. Basically strive for a greater range of motion and add resistance bands to your bodyweight exercises and weights

How can you balance the qualities

@@Harrison-yn7rj in this specific example, sprinting/ maximal jumps more often.

@@gunnerjax9012 easy thank you

this sounds fishy as hell

@@sweatyatoms7719 more muscle burns more oxygen.

Always comment and than watch.

How do you improve your range of motion, because mine went down greatly after lifting for 2 years.

@@Harrison-yn7rj depends on circumstance but for most people who have a day job sitting, then go to the gym and lift heavy, an excellent complement is usually swimming or yoga. Both because of they involve plenty of rotational work, light loads, lots of trunk stability, and help us focus work on our posterior chain.

@@falsificationism yeah yoga is always tough but Ill start doing it again. I don’t have a sitting job but I do sit at home otherwise I’m always playin and practising baseball, thanks a lot

General training will do. Its not like you are trying to qualify for olympics. Gpp will do.

Yeah, just training in general will do you well. Nothing special, what you can do is incorporate the exercises that'll be on the PFT like Pushups, Situps, Running 1-2 miles.

Not necessarily. More of the right type of muscle + technical coordination = more performance

Kevin the snake durant, michael phelps, katie ledecky, arianne titmus, eliod kipchoge has entered the chat. It depends on the sports. Added muscle mass can be hindrance. You think dane can run fast marathon or even swim fast long distance or even cycle at the tour de france? Hell NO.

That much fat despite having much muscle, and the textbook example of way too much mass hindering mobility/performance in the clean and jerk. ( chingiz mogushkov also comes to mind ). Chemerkin was known as one of the strongest (raw strength) weightlifters ever but still wasn't able to translate that to legendary career ( still oly champ lol ). You can see the evolution in his c&j technique (in a bad sense) as he grew bigger and basically power cleaned up until 240kg...

What exercises do you recommend?

@@Harrison-yn7rj for more muscular guys really just yoga, and getting full range of motion on top of your hypertrophy work. If you notice lots of swole NFL players aren't that stiff amd are huge

@@hunterwilliams2572 yeah I seen stocky ass guys doing the splits in nfl

@@Harrison-yn7rj my point exactly, if you only do curls, bench press, and squats your flexibility and fluidity isn't going to be great

@@hunterwilliams2572 yeah I need to develop some for baseball 🤞 thanks a lot
