God the people in my commercial gym have more ROM than this dude. How does he skip leg day while doing leg exercises?Then there's clowns like this Mexican dude in LA...
All those baby reps, smashing the equipment, using TWO belts... for fuck's sake.
Then he responded to all the "haters"
It's also a great way to tear your pec. If you normally stop 2 inches above your chest and then go down a bit lower than that with heavier weight than your chest can handle, that's a recipe for a tear
Yep. Assume every Youtube fitness guru is on something and peddling bullshit. Jeff Nippard is the one I dislike the most. Fake natty but then peddles "science based training", which is just "oh do x sets of this of y reps, then z sets of this at x reps, etc..." and hides behind that as if even scientifically perfect training would result in a huge difference from imperfect training. Also, everyone is different. What works for one person won't necessarily work as well for someone else. For example, weighted dips work great for some people. For others, they don't work as well as barbell bench press.
Holy shit, how many of those people are going below 90 degrees on the way down and straightening their knees at the top? RIP knees, I'm always super picky about form and that reel was distilled, unadulterated cringe to me.
I will never stop talking about how good it is to become physically stronger, no matter your age. I didn't start lifting until I was in my early 30s. Don't let regrets impede your forward progress. A note about something I've mentioned before: I stated that one should become obsessed with the process. "Obsession" is the incorrect term. It's merely commitment.
I push myself harder every time I hit the gym. Im starting to enjoy that part too.

nothing too crazy but my abs are less defined for sure. I'm going away again in like four days but for now I'll lift and go back to my normal diet or go on a mini cut or whatever
I understand Stephanie Buttermore has a decent channel for women's lifting stuff on YouTube as well. Can keep learning and trying new things as you progress, trying new lifts and working different programs is half the fun.
Just keep challenging yourself and look for the stance that lets you hit parallel when you squat. Do you do any deadlifts or Romanian deadlifts? Great exercises for the hamstrings and butt. Also, women in my gym seem to enjoy the hip thrust exercise, women tend to be lower body dominant and it plays to their strengths.
That should basically stop within a few weeks, DOMS is usually a result from a new workout on less trained muscles or heavy use. Even on days I hit a new PR I don't get DOMS the next day just feel wiped.
Easiest way I found to increase my cardio is adding a minute every day or other day. A minutes nothing! Can sprint for a minute if you really try. Start at 5 as a warmup and keep working your way up. 5 minutes is one song, maybe 2.
Those half reps hurt my eyes to watch. But it looks like he didn't fully engage the lock. I would side with user error on this one
Poor bastard, I've fucked up setting up machines many times but never on anything like a hack squat, and half the time it's poorly maintained equipment with shitty locks. Do a leg curl, I do it like normal and adjust the bar down to the setting for my legs, adjust the pad to my ankles, and then boom, the thing pops off when I apply force in the middle of a rep. What're you gonna do, ideas like statistical quality control are simply not possible in a world with Chinese people and assorted turd worlders making shit. They're too dorky for Americans, and Japanese people hate life, so they can't make everything.
I don't know what deadlifts are, so no. According to the InBody scale my upper arms are rated for 111% of daily use requirements for my age, but my legs are only at 89%. I've lost a hundred pounds and my guess is that I lost a lot of muscle in my legs along with the fat. The two main reasons I started lifting now are for good mobility in my later years and to prevent more muscle loss while I lose the rest of the excess fat.
I wonder if it's because I have so little muscle in my thighs. It's getting better, but I still have some DOMS from my workout Monday.
With pulldowns I just stand up after I complete the last concentric (once you've pulled it down) without letting go of the bar. I'm a little taller than average so it works out I guess better.
Yeah, they're just unused to work! It'll pass if you're consistent over a few months. Unless you can't physically move, DOMS is never a good reason to skip a workout.
