      He's very good but it's 100 percent about muscle growth for body building. You'll still be strong but you'd need some other exercises if your area of concentration was some other sport.

Light weight getting straight “shakey” !! And everyone who’s serious knows that’s exactly what you’re striving to achieve!! TY BROTHER!! Stay safe 🙏🏼

    Had a good leg workout today.
    Focused on glutes more than quads.
    Bulgarian split squats, split dead lifts and single leg hip thrusts with no rest between, a little before the last round.
    Then leg curls, extensions, toe and heel raises.
    By the end of it I felt like throwing up and my hips were wobbling around so much I could hardly stand.

    I am watching, re-watching and watching again. I agree - sets and reps are not the answer. They are a starting point. If I go on feel alone though, I've walked out of the gym feeling like I could have done more for that body part but the next day I couldn't move I was so sore. So "feel" wasn't the answer that day. How do you know you've adequately stimulated a muscle to call that workout done?

  • @s2kkev292
