Do I sense an AlphaDestiny fan ?

Yeah, I appreciate that Alex brought out neck training from the fighting world, one has to acknowledge the amount of lying hes done tho

TheKingstonKnight lying about what? I'm actually pretty curious, maybe I haven't seen those videos.

He lied about his age, claiming to be older then he really is to look more mature I guess. He lied about either his teenage stats, or his current stats, as he claims to have been 160lb lean as a teen, and is about 160 lean now. With that in mind, hes either made no gains (which is clearly not the case)as he's now the same weight at the same body fat, his teenage weight was lighter, or he is actually heavier then claimed. He is clearly insecure about his height as a manlet, wearing lifts, and taking coordinated photos to make him appear taller. This contradicts his legitimacy as an 'alpha' male. Early on when he started up on youtube, he was 17. He was aiming to teach general life lessons, along with PUA. In his response video to his exposure, I dont think he mentioned his age considering it was one lie he could not defend himself from which people dont seem to realize. He also has a ridiculous made up story about being confident with women where he notoriously "sips a cool glass of lemonade" . He also back peddled on his deadlift goals, pulling a 585 behind the back deadlift/ hacksquat, then trying to show himself off as a 600~lb puller. Tbh I think he doesnt wanna do a fullpower pl meet to hide his weak deadlift. Recently its been exposed that he probs lives with sister, to which his sister was dm'ed bringing to light that she works a lot compared to Alex who apparently is narcissistic, doesnt need to work (probs cause of youtube), and probs thinks hes better than her. TL:DR He lied about his age, his stats (at some point), he's insecure about his height (cause its alpha to be insecure, right?), he started his youtube career at 17, teaching PUA+life lessons, he back peddled on his deadlift, and he likely lives with his sister. Watch Alec's video from Not Stronk Enough to see it, and watch Alex's response vid.

I agree with you on the deadlift goal and his age the rest of what you're talking is a buncha bullshit. Him being a narcissist isn't impossible however.

I'm sure it was some cave bear.

Lmfao what are YOU doing here?? Good choice in fitness info my dude.

Lol never thought id found fellow Elites here, cept clemens of course

Absolute Legend.

For real. When i used to do dumbbell bulgarian split squats(dumbbells on both hands), my traps blew up as well. Doing them for 5x8 and holding 60lbs. Im Not doing direct trap work but seems like static holds will kill the traps for sure. Like in hang cleans and hang power cleans.

He doesn't like them because they have a bad stimulus to fatigue ratio, but they could be done in a trap specialization phase

And Deads Stress them in an isometric fashion not taking it through its full range of motion like shrugs.

Most definitely!

sum of all your sets when you can no longer recover from that weekly volume

Honestly probably by research and studies on what is recoverable

Sam McCarthy Wrist Curls, Some Pull exercises with fat grips (best are pullups) and heavy farmers walks (either farmer handles or dumbbells) Glutes: Split Squat with nearely no ankle flexion ie foot far forward works best in my opinion. Best in Smith Machine

Did your traps at least get sore from the rack pulls?

Coming in the next couple weeks.

Wtf 😂😂😂

thespiritbomb Not really. elbow flexion is elbow flexion since the bicep tendon doesn't rupture due to overextension but rapid contraction of the muscle in response to rapid (over-)loading. So no, elbow flexion in any type of heavy Deadlift or shrug motion is not good. If the load is quite submaximal it might not be a problem, but if you jerk DL, power shrugs, or rack pulls with elbow flexion, you put your Biceps tendon at risk no matter which grip you use.

RadBandit have you ever seen an Olympic lifter? They do high pulls with bent arms and huge weights.

Think it’s Better Below by Bury Tomorrow just tuned down and slowed slightly 🤔

No

It does, but focus on the big compounds, learn the technique perfectly, start on the lower side of volume and work your way up, and apply progressive overload. If you want to get bigger you also need to eat properly for that. Cheers.

Volume is the main driver of hypertrophy. For everyone, no matter age or gender. You just need to find the right dose. So, Yes.

Yootub Apesta yes there are many examples of jacked dudes who started after 40.

Can be done on both, depends on your training scheme

You choose

You shouldn't even have a shoulder day

gracefool I meant on a day I do shoulders (push day)

Re what day you do things, you only need to know two things: 1. It's good to have a day of recovery with no or light training for bigger muscles (hint: traps are not big muscles) 2. Doing things when your muscles are fresh will let you use higher weights and therefore count as more volume than I'd you did them when already fatigued (e.g. rear delts on pull day is less rear delt volume than rear delts on push day).

Igor Kneževic not too much as long as the intensity is kept moderate.

Just build up to doing that much volume per workout and make sure you can recover from it, if you do this more than 2 times per week.

To get bigger traps

It's stupid upright rows are a great exercise but is already a dangerous movement for your shoulders.... It's pointless to do it behind.... It's like doing a lat pulldown behind the neck.. Doesn't work the muscle any different other then it's more dangerous and you can't use as much weight... Don't make it so complicated... Stick to the basics.

Dan127 what the fuck is that

Have any of you actually tried them?

Dan127 Interesting idea, what is the point of it?

Conventional deadlifts makes you suicidal.
