The beauty of being natty. Think about being big and weak! (muscles inflated by drugs, someone calls this "sarcoplasmic hypertrophy", although the sarcoplasm is a theory while inflated muscle are a reality). Real muscles are really aesthetic and big looking at the bronze and silver era of bodybuilding.
I am still progressing after 15 years of training, but I had to massively reduce volume to just one set and one exercise per muscle. Before, I was plateauing.
@@ew-zd1th Once you're out of the learning phase and continue to progress after several months of doing the same thing, you have to be gaining muscle. It just may not be enough to notice.
As a 49 yr old, type 2 who started lifting after losing the weight, it's so hard for me to bulk. Almost impossible to do without insanely spiking my glucose. I'm 5'7 eat around 3000-3100 calories a day and that's at caloric maintenance. I've been lifting for a over year now, and I'm gaining strength, but not getting bigger. I'm very happy with how i look, tho. I'm around 10% body fat, so for pushing 50 I'm not stressing it.
There's nothing wrong with exercise hopping IF you already know the lift well and you push yourself hard on it. Using your fly example, if you have been doing peck deck, say three ascendingn sets of 10, ending with with weight where the7th thru 10th reps are hard AF; then move to a cable fly the next week, you might need to do five or six ascending sets to find that weight where the 7th thru 10th reps are hard AF. If you can find that point and push yourself, you'll still be making progress. But if you start at the bottom of that progression curve like in your video, it's going to be too easy and you're not giving your muscles anything to adapt to. Hopping exercises more frequently can also help minimize joint inflammation and maximize muscle growth by hitting muscles from different angles; thereby, recruiting slightly different muscle fibers and leading to a fuller look. Everything else I agree with. I agree with your version of exercise hopping not being the best, but do it right and push yourself and you'll be fine.
Even if the tendency for injury is ignored, these aspects are incredibly difficult to get right in your 60s when you're down to your last thimble-full of testosterone and every calorie goes directly to your waist. Just not getting any fatter is an achievement .
Can you describe what exactly would you do when you got an attachment tendinopathy? I cant do pull ups pulldowns all this stuff and rear Delts i also cant train (the Last time im the gym i cant even move the weight one time), even pressing felt Not good and stable. I am very frustrated, the doc Said Minimum 1 week or maybe more week Rest the while upper body. I Just retested IT but with Ibuprofen in my system, rear Delt ISO was better but pull ups exactly Like bevor
I got some bad news for your brothers, I’ve had golfers elbow for nine months just now starting to heal or I can notice get you some wraps, reduced load increase the reps you will still grow And get stronger not as fast but that’s what happens. I’m an old guy just take it easy on yourself higher-rep Lower load
Doesn't exist strength without hypertrophy because the latter is the consequence of the lack of strength: the mind gives signals to the body in order to rebuild larger fibres than the previous ones to sustain a resistance. This is basic Medicine. When a person lifts more than another is multi factorial, especially leverage, not the fact that strength and hypertrophy are two separated parameters.
The AI thumbnails just leave too much bad taste in my mouth, gonna stick to other channels until your phase of 'just trying out stuff' is over. The videos themselves are good tho
Stronger but not bigger -- the curse of being natty.

Stronger but not bigger sounds great. Once you stop getting stronger then concern yourself with getting bigger...

But did you gain muscle?

So no? @@overtonpendulum2071

6) Unrealistic expectations of strength to size ratio. I see guys hitting a 2 plate bench who think their chest should be looking like Arnold's.

Bro u r my favourite notification, can i ask you if bro split is better than ppl if my nutritions are not on point...
appreciate that! both can work fine!

Guilty of n5 sometimes! 😂

Iam neither getting stronger nor bigger 😂
What if you’re getting bigger but weaker?
Bigger is always stronger

What u on about😂😂😢💀💬
i'll be trying stuff out for as long as im learning :)
@@The_Modern_Meathead That's alright 👍 just try to not lose your integrity while doing so
@@HenryArevalo-dj4ze What part confuses you?
Thumbnails dont change the content of the actual video lol
That doesn’t make sense for me. If i’m getting stronger i must get bigger. Just imagine a 220 guy benching the same as a 180 guy. It’s unlikely.
