Tell that to the professional athletes that down whole pizzas and tubs of ice cream and shyt after workouts. Tell that to all the people here who carb backload for big gains. Tell that to people who follow IIFYM to great results

Energy balance >>>> hippie garbage

I think the people who do 1/4th of a rep w/ too much weight while rushing from one workout to another basically encompass your point.

The sad reality is that not everyone can adopt IIFYM; plus these are professional athletes that you're talking about, their jobs revolve around being in peak physical condition year round. The average joe who has a 9-5 simply cannot do the same and expect similar results.

Exercise science is so imprecise but you have to take into account specific variables on a person-by-person basis.

45 minutes stretching is overkill unless you're coming off of some kind of injury imo.

It's part of grip strength....which you work alot more directly simply by holding and moving heavy shyt. Deadlifts, rows, etc.

Reverse wrist curls have helped me greatly.

A lot of average gym goers use carb backloading, carb nite or some form of carb cycling.

I'm not disagreeing with the backloading: I'm talking about people who try to rationalize eating pizza hut and mcdonalds around the clock due to working out or even the macros those foods have. Like I said, it works for athletes (and I'll add the few genetically blessed folks out there) but an average person...especially one new to lifting with a relatively sedentary lifestyle can't get away with that.

Agreed

I've read that wrist curls are pointless if you do heavy deadlifts.

what's considered heavy deadlift?

like how many times the bodyweight?

There's no magical number

Heavy RELATIVE TO YOUR ONE REP MAX = "heavy"

There isn't some magical weight that you'll hit that will make you massive, but individual to your strength if you hit like 60-70 percent of your max that's enough workload to stimulate growth. Don't quote me on that though, but I'm sure the resident fact-checkers can confirm that.
