    Question: What is your opinion on rest time between sets, and when training for example push, should I do all chest, then shoulders and then triceps, or alternate.

    • @panosathanasioy3402
      @panosathanasioy3402 2 роки тому

      My opinion is
      Legs:You should alternate between quads and hams to have the most power output and mechanical tension.
      Push:You could do lateral raises between chest exercises,or flys between shoulders, but for anything else,since they all work together i do chest,then shoulders then tris.
      Pull i alternate between mid/upperback and lats,same logic with legs,but i dont get quite the same extra power output.Biceps in the end since they are boring AF 😅

    My side delts completely blew up doing high rep partials.
    I am thankful to John Meadows for sharing his methods because nothing got my side delts to really grow until I did that. Heavy partials, and drop sets for side delts and I guarantee you your side delts will grow.

    How important is training to failure? Is training to failure necessary for maximum muscle growth or is it possible to build the same amount of muscle with submaximal weights and 1-3 reps left in the tank, as long as I progress from workout to workout or over time? Thanks

    When do you determine when to do unilateral or bilateral exercises? Example, single leg hamstring curl vs both leg hamstring curl. With the more time involved, power output, muscle imbalance etc. When should you do single leg/arm vs just doing it both together?

    • @panosathanasioy3402
      @panosathanasioy3402 2 роки тому +1

      I personally do a unilateral exercise per bodypart,focusing on the weaker side.
      2 for lats because i think the activitation is superb doing one at a time,since you can "crunch" on your side and fully shorten the lat.
      I would love to see the answer to this one

    • @RDS_Armwrestling
      @RDS_Armwrestling 2 роки тому

      For upper body, I like to start the session with a unilateral exercise to get a good focus and pump in the target muscle and exert good force with each side individually (since you can direct more energy into one side at a time) and then move on to bilateral, but for legs I'll do the opposite because I'll get more bang for my buck hitting the big compounds first and then finishing off with unilateral work.

    • @Cacophony314
      @Cacophony314 Рік тому

      Your body is probaby going through a body recomposition. You may be losing fat while gaining muscle.
      If you're a newbie and participating in resistance training, it's more than likely. Or you've taken a sabbatical, and returning to the gym.
      If you're a longer term veteran, your calories may be at maintenance level or under. You may be getting stronger, and not necessarily bigger.

  • @dinomagical
    @dinomagical 2 роки тому +5

    Thoughts on very high rep circuit style warmups for an upper lower split to potentiate and activate the muscles for the workout and to build gpp? Lower body for example 300 reps of lower body work in roughly 12-15 minutes. For example 4 sets of 25 reps with low intensity belt squats, 4 sets of 25 reps low intensity leg curls and 4 sets of 25 reps low intensity reverse hypers. I would love to hear your opinion if you think its a good idea or just unnecessary junk volume when the goal is muscle growth?

    • @RDS_Armwrestling
      @RDS_Armwrestling 2 роки тому

      High reps in a short time period sounds more like endurance training, which is the opposite end of the spectrum to muscle building. To be honest, you'd likely be better using standard warmup sets for your exercises, which shouldn't take more than 10/15 minutes anyway if it's hypertrophy training (as opposed to pure strength training where rest will be longer)

    • @RDS_Armwrestling
      @RDS_Armwrestling 2 роки тому

      Volume and frequency. They're a small muscle, you can hit them after back day and after another session in the week

    • @Cacophony314
      @Cacophony314 Рік тому

      Train them first _(when you have the most energy.)_ Pump lots of blood into it by using light weight, high frequency. Then all subsequent delt exercises will keep that muscle activated.
      Best way to grow anything, is mind to muscle connection, so make sure you're not activating traps, triceps etc. when trying to perform the exercises.

    Hey Coach , so a bit of a personal question that ive been struggling with , hope I can get some thumbs for the help!
    I went down from 107kg (235lbs fat not bodybuilder) to right now about 79kg (175lbs) in a span of a year. I started with a deficit and every time I hit a plateau I made the deficit bigger , and ofcourse have some cardio added not just take out calories. So now its been almost a year and I am very happy with the results, however , I am about 10lbs shy of the weight I want to achieve and my calories are at 1800kcal and I am not sure how much lower I can get , since I am feeling the diet fatigue setting in for sure.
    Should I power through , get to 1600kcal or even 1500kcal and just get 10lbs down in a month or so , or do I need to go on a break for awhile and go back to achieving my weight goal later on?
    I would appreciate any sort of help , thank you as always for these educational and informative videos!

    • @matt_cartwright5782
      @matt_cartwright5782 2 роки тому +2

      You maintenance calories should be about 2500 at that body weight. I would go to about 2200-2300 calories and do some decent lifting 5 times a week. No cardio. Your body will thank you and start building muscle, then you should be able to drop that remaining fat through body recomp 👍

    Re: working around pain or injury, finding pain free alternatives etc
    I think that another good point/add-on that often gets grossly overlooked is when incorporating new alternative exercises…train them at a TRUE *RPE 7-8* for the first week or two.
    People struggle enough as it is with Periodization in practice, with conventional movements…it’s even more important when rehabbing or simply testing out new movements to really TEST them, and ease into them. RPE 7 is incredible and even more so with attention to tempo
    I say this as a natty broad, recovering from hormonal damage done during bodybuilding prep and recovering from another unrelated injury…forced to put off my building season lol 😅
    My new program is a whole lotta RPE 7 but it’s honestly perfect for where I am

  • @ronnysudiono315
    @ronnysudiono315 2 роки тому

    Hi coach, I noticed that most of the answers of the questions is depending on the notion of: "as long as you make progress". My question is to go a bit deeper how to really know that you make a progress, because in my opinion this thing we call progression is also so ambiguous as many other things in the game of building muscles. I mean even the weight scale or measurement tape which are accurate devices can not say that you gain muscle and only muscle.

  • @Cacophony314
    @Cacophony314 Рік тому

    My question is, how to do you eat a surplus, when you're genuinely not hungry? I can't even come close to the calories that I "need."
    I prioritise protein intake, and that in itself is hard to do, and so satiating. It almost seems, my ghrelin hormones are dormant.
    I eat keto, sometimes TKD and intermittent fasting - (for the hormonal regulation, health benefits and longevity etc.) and feel I might need to introduce carbs to get hungrier, however I don't enjoy them or want to sacrifice the benefits of a low insulin diet, just to feel hungry.
    Thank you.
    Quite enjoying your channel and training knowledge.

    I always see detailed info on warmups and topsets, and that's usually what we see in videos. But how do you structure all the sets and reps inbetween? Pyramid up? If so how many sets or do you use a prescribed weight jump like 10-20% of top set all the way etc. And is the rep range similar all the way up or do you use reduced reps like Mike O'Hearn and just rep out the top sets? It would be nice to see more coaches go through how they approach an exercise from first to last set. Thanks for all the great info!!
