AlphaDestiny I’ve been focused on ohp and pull-ups a lot over bench press and my max bench is 195 and max ohp is 105 is this a decent ratio or should I keep focusing on ohp
16 yrs old, 155 and 18 inch neck, is that good?
AlphaDestiny hi alex what do you recomend to threat piriformis snydrome.
Will weighted gymnastics ring dips build my triceps?
Supper Gosh yes the will but is better to do them on the bars you can add more weight...
Really enjoyed your collab with Omar!
There’s literally no better tutorial for the deadlift than SS/Alan Thrall’s
Matthew McNulty athlean x has a pretty good one
Matthew McNulty yep its really good. You can also look for the form of High level powerlifter with leverages close to yours.
youre gonna need a bigger room soon especially when Phil is around😁😁😁
Lajkovi se dobivaju a?
BlackJack yes yes
Mike press iam referring to shoulder width
Phil is ridiculous....
One of my friends did a 7 day water fast and he was still hitting 3/4/5+ on squat/bench/deadlift. Great Q&A as usual!
Good Q&A Brother.
Preciate that Brian, much respect
I notice a change in your attitude Alex you seem happier, more humble and more at peace. Proud of you man fuck the haters
New video from Alex, Athlean-X and omarisuf same time? This must be heaven
I fucking love ya bro. Honestly my favourite UA-camr. You're intelligent af. Mad respect from Niagara Falls, ON
Alex, thanks for all your content and love the latest collab Omar and Alex definitely my favourite fitness youtubers.
I'm 6'6 with a 7 foot wingspan. LONG ASS GORILLA ARMS. I don't train for maxes but I have hit 245 for 2 clean reps. I do a slight pause on my chest for every rep. I train 8 working sets using a sheiko type scheme. I lift with a relatively close grip (feels more comfortable for me) It seems like I'm deloaded my training max every other week and missing reps. Some weeks 225x4 goes up easy. This past week i was struggling 225x3
one of the most real dudes on youtube.
The slingshot is amazing. After 15 years of lifting, I tore my pectoral a few months ago. With the slingshot, I'm able to bench again
"Back to the regular schedule" thats what I like to hear, when you posting that recipe video man lol for all the shit cooks out here including myself.
I'm on a cut. Would it be a good idea to snort protein powder and creatine instead of drinking it? That way I could get the supplement without the calories?
Wow this is demonicly funny
Hey Alex for your floppy wrist issue try a lot of wrist curl variations, 10 sets of 50-100 with a weight on a towel. Its the most effective wrist strength builder for sure. (Over the index (back pressure), over the thumb (pronation), over the palm (supination)...and all in between. Cant beat it brother. It'll turn your floppy wrist into iron!
Where are the arm wrestleing training vids ?!
Zercher Squat strength standards?? Ratio to squat and deadlift? Hit 300lbs at 165lbs today. Thanks man, big fan!
Don't know where to post questions so I'll do it here. Alex, I am training in gym for like 4 years and I have made progress. My issue has been energy lately. When I'm doing back and biceps for example, I start with Pullups. After doing 3 sets of pullups, my forearms and so fatigued that I am unable to perform any other exercise properly. After I have managed to complete my back, I move to biceps. I do Barbell curl and after 3 sets, my biceps are so fatigued that I don't have strength to perform any other biceps exercise. I see so many people doing the same exercises like me, but they are able to perform other exercises with easy because they said that they don'T get fatigued as much. Lately I haven't also been able to increase weight on majority of my exercises. What am I doing wrong?
My front and side delts overshadow my rear delts dramatically. Should I drop direct anterior delt movements like OHP and front raises while working on my rear delts? Coming from a novice lifter
I have so much respect for this man!!!
thanks for answering my question, my problem was that i was not making progress with my front lever, but as soon as i did a slight bend in the arms i can hold the advanced tuck for a few secs. But i will listen to you and just stick with the straight arm (everything else is perfect form btw, my front lever just sucks :/
Straight arm strength is king to getting jacked. Learning the planche and doing hollow body felt weird af but now I naturally do it with all my skill training. Planche lean gets the shoulders jacked
Alex, obviously you were on ‘holiday’ (still working on videos!) this past week. Do you have any interest in going on holiday to a warmer country?
Doing your novice program. Upper body: perfect, a lot of PRs and recovering really fast. Lower body: not progressing like upper body, and also having lower back pain. What should i do?
I personally don't mind doing hook grip for trap bar. It depends on the nerling on the bar. Some smooth 1s I need to hook grip otherwise it rolls after 3 reps. Usually can do netrual grip if the nerling is ok, even for 1rm. But I like adding in hook grip on it if I'm doing rep work since I can pretty much make sure it never slips. Many of the commerical gyms don't allow chalk so hook grip essentially becomes chalk during high volume. And I don't feel pain at all with it so it's just something I use.
Alex could you make a calves video?
in the works
AlphaDestiny Alrighty then !
Alex, I’ve been running the Novice program for 5 weeks and have been having good progress but starting to slow down a bit. I’m going to start eating more to help with my recovery, but I also wonder if I’m going too intense. What should RPE be a 3x5 and a 5x5 respectfully? I’m using it as a parameter to gauge intensity, not as a parameter for programming?
Pull ups are a weird exercise, stuck a 6 reps for nearly a year, 21%bf and within 3 months still same BF hitting 15 reps, need to look into adding weight.
What do you think of Dr. Mike Israetel opinion that rack pulls are worthless for hypertrophy purpose and builds a thicker waist due to sheer force.. Made me rethink of doing them again.....
Hey Alex, my right shoulder hurts when benching, but if I use the dumbells I experience zero pain. How can I fix this?
Like the long hair bro! Really nice with the cut you did.
Oh yeah, Pistol Squats WILL DESTROY your quads. Yeah... I think it's because of the overloaded stretch at the bottom and having to get up from it on one leg. It's a lot of weight on one leg. Love the exercise!
From my experience, hook grip does the same thing for neutral compared to pronated on a straight bar basically.
Liked the questions!!👍 Well.... the answers as well 😊
Rocking the Mike Katz hair bro!
Yo Alpha, im losing motivation to bulk as i want to maintain a good jawline, im 6ft 181lbs 10% BF where should i go from here? im afraid to get to 190lbs for this reason
Alex, you are the shit. Great info. Thanks brah!
Hey Alex would you be able to give a solid easily laid out way to fix winged scapula? Feel like my progress is hindered greatly as it affects my form in bench press shifting the focus onto my front delts, since I can't drop my shoulders and keep them there, as well as negatively impacting other excersises.
Alex why are box squats so much harder for me than normal squats as a beginner? Normally I can squat 245 for reps but when I tried to even box squat 205 once I couldn’t do it.
Alex, haven't seen you do biceps isolation in a while, are you mainly focusing on the one arm pull-ups for biceps?
Q&a. Why am i making so much gains on you zyzz program even when im in a defecit. My protein is on point.
They tried to attack you, and you've added what, 5000 subscribers in the last couple weeks since they tried to bring you down? Hahaha fucking awesome, bro. I doubt all of them together have seen that level of growth, I know some people unsubbed from those turds.
Side note, you look a lot better with a shaved head. It always makes your upper body look bigger, especially the neck area. I'd say on a cut, you definitely want the shaved head because of some lost size
Hey Alex, what do you think of a dieting style where you dont eat for 44 hours and then in 4 hours consume meals before and after a workout.
I can do less chin ups after doing just pull ups for a while. Guess chin ups carries over to pull up more than vice versa.
I'm losing my drive for working out /in the gym/ and now I want to start doing something more athletic - for example swimming. However, I still like the gym and the actual work outs there, it's just that I don't have that desire to go that I had before. What's the best thing to do atm?
You should do a video on a weighted calisthenics routine.
Absolutely will. Lots of weighted calisthenics content incoming.
Hey alex what do you think about Dr Mike Israetel's look on MRV and that in a microcycle you should start off at lower sets and overall volume then ramp through the weeks to finally over reach on the 4th week to deload on the 5th. Personally ive done this and find it works well with visual changes. Although this is linear your raising both volume and intensity through the microcycle, changing exercises through the mesocycle. e.g. every 1-2 microcycles
Alex i bought ashwaganda extract and i bought macca extract really good supps, thanks. So i was wondering do you know or recommend any other kinds of these plant supplements?
Should EVERYONE do everyday high rep band face pulls?
Alex will doing pullups and pushups at home impede my recovery if my goal is to increase big 3?
rus s best way to know is trying it out. It all depends on your fitnesslevel. If you want to do it and be sure you aren't overdoing it I'd say do a small number of pull ups and push ups and slowly increase the number on weekly bases. Do 10 push ups and 5 pull ups 3 days a week ontop of your normal workout. Way too easy? Do it everyday or do 20 push ups, ten pull ups 3 days a week. Go up that way. Are you feeling it's becoming too much of a chore to do? Cut down on reps
Skiller BdH wait what? Did I miss first guy's reply?
i finally got to use my trap bar :) i remember the day i got it, probably a week after one of your trap bar videos. exciting stuff. also i wanna hear you say loose like a spaghetti again. i enjoy the italianisms.
I’m expecting double uploads to make up for the days off!
Haha we'll see :P
block press a safer alternative to bench for longevity? Would it be sensible to buy one of those blocks that attach to the bar and bench exclusively with that?
Any advice for fixing a winged scapula?
I’m completely new to bands and want to start incorporating them into my workout, which ones should I buy and any tips for getting started with them?
Improve a chest that has Pectus Carinatum?
Hey Alpha, I know you're not into IF, but do you know of any bad long term effects (over 10 years) of skipping breakfast? I've heard of acidity related issues, but I've been fine so far (2 years) and its helped me with cutting. Thanks for the help. Love from India

I have been training for around 2-3 years (Not solidly with a few months break), I do have a good amount of muscle (Not bullshitting, 5’11 185lbs, 15-16% bf max) but my lifts are not at your required for intermediate (Never deadlifted and have never ran a strength based program), am I okay to run your novice program as before this I ran push/pull/legs with a quite high volume focused on high rep ranges but applying some progressive overload? Or should I run your intermediate
