Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

Had a stellar low weight higher volume pull day today

I ain’t try to max out in every exercise and went for sets of 14ish

but good for you.

I did three light sets of 5 on low-bar and almost passed out. Have the same workout on Saturday.

Train only singles, doubles, and light triples for 5 months and wonder where your rep endurance went, brehs.


And this clean eating has drained my chakra. Imma need some pizza and the Panda (Desiigner) tomorrow.

Sounds like you had a simple case of #Powda deficiency and resting on your laurels. I'm prescribing preworkout #Powda, 1 scoop by mouth as needed ().

I'd also like to put you on a daily dosage of green tea. It'll help catch any covid when it's in da thoat to push is down to da stommuch where da acids will kill it.

Real talk for arms to grow and get that cut look whats best, heavy weights or a high rep number. Oh and these chicks booty be looking different everytime you see them in the gym, one day they in booty scrunch leggings and the booty fat next time normal leggings booty disappointing
Other times its nice and plump, next time its wide and flat

(from T Nation, so take that as you will):
Different muscle groups have different functional characteristics and tend to have varying fiber-type ratios. The soleus (part of the calf) for example, is a slow-twitch (type I) dominant muscle while the triceps tend to be fast-twitch dominant (type II).

Slow-twitch muscle fibers recover more quickly, both within a workout and from session to session, than their fast-twitch counterparts. Consequently, training muscles that are predominantly slow twitch more frequently makes sense.

In general, the classification of muscle fiber-type ratios are:

• Hamstrings: Mixed, 44-54% type I
• Quads: Mixed, 44-64% type I
• Glutes: Mixed with a tendency towards slow twitch, 52-60% type I
• Chest: Fast twitch, approximately 60% type II
• Calves: Slow. Gastrocnemius roughly 44-76% type I. Soleus in the range of 70-96% type I.
• Spinal Erectors: Slow, 63-73% type I
• Traps: Mixed
• Shoulders: Mixed fiber distribution with a slight type I dominance
• Triceps: Type II
• Lats: Greater proportion of type II
• Biceps: Tendency towards fast twitch dominant, approximately 40% type I

So biceps can be hit 4 times a week and triceps can be hit 3 times a week. Unless you're doing an upper/lower 6x a week or have 3 arm days, I'd prolly shave that twice each and eat the L.

I like using heavier/lower-rep compounds at the beginning of a session (weighted chins, close-grip bench, etc.) and finishing off with lighter, higher-rep isolation movements.

Still waiting for a definitive empirical answer to this question.


Also growth and "that cut look" have nothing to do with each other.

I’ve been driving by gyms in LA and they’re all empty. Glad I got my home gym started
