| Posted: 11 Jun 2021 07:27 PM PDT I've noticed that most of the largest, most muscular guys I see at the gyms tend to use a surprisingly small range of motion when they lift. I was under the impression that full ROM is optimal for hypertrophy, but I'm beginning to question that belief. It seems like most of the guys doing partials with heavy weight are much larger than most of the guys doing full ROM with moderate weight. Are these people starting with full ROM and switching to partials after getting huge, or are they actually building all that muscle with partials? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 11 Jun 2021 02:00 AM PDT Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack. So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:
Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line. So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 11:20 AM PDT These are all common types of questions/statements I see here and on other subs from beginners: 'Is this a good lift for a 6'/145lb/17yo lifter with mild scoliosis and a peanut allergy?' 'My lift is not very high but I also weigh very little for my height so it's good for my weight' 'Is this a good lift for a beginner who has been lifting for 178 days and 14 hours?' 'But i'm the strong compared to random people off the street' You get the idea. Some beginners seem to be very fixated on qualifying their accomplishments. Instead of just getting stronger, they want to change the context of their results to make them appear better. Links to sites like symmetricstrength are presented all the time by and in response to beginners talking about "How good is X lift of mine". People ask for levels that are good for someone who has only been lifting a year, or who is 140lbs at 5'11'' or whatever. This doesn't make you strong. Dressing up your 250lb deadlift, when you have the potential for 500lb+, in any number of "Well it's strong for _______" does not change the fact that you have a 250lb deadlift when you can achieve a 500lb deadlift with more time, more effort, and better training. And yes, there is probably a subset of people that share some characteristics with you for which a 250lb deadlift IS strong, for which 250lbs is nearing what they can potentially do. But they know that already, they aren't asking if 250 is strong. Strong people are not looking to qualify or validate their accomplishments to make them look good. They know how much work they put in to get there and know that they are strong. Everyone else needs to stop trying to find reasons for why what they are currently doing is good enough and actually work to reach their potential, if being strong is something that they are really interested in. If you do that you don't need to say "I'm strong if you consider X Y and Z", you can just say "I am strong". Anyways, the whole reason I made this post was to share this video by Alex Bromley that was linked on /r/weightroom earlier today. I think the average user here will get more value out of this than the average user there. I didn't want to dump a link without any context. And this is probably not worth saying as the kind of people likely to be guilty of this won't read this far anyways but please actually watch the video before commenting for or against any ideas you think might be presented within in. Also if you want to address a specific point please try to include a general timestamp so anyone interested can find the exact context without searching through a 20 minute video. *Edited to better articulate/clarify the point and better represent the content of the video.
