OP, this was going to be my guess from your past bf% pics, without even being able to open these pics. IIRC you seem to hover in the high teens to low 20s.

This might be a natural sweet spot for...

Bench isn’t a chest isolation, but if you’re maxing out at such low weight, do you ever really feel your pecs squeezing on anything?

IMO the most important measurement is what you see in the mirror at diff points in time, since what everyone is looking at is the same no matter the wide range of bf% guesses.

When someone cuts...

IMO health can't be judged from a bf% perspective, it's just one of many factors to consider. Plenty of lean, muscular dudes are in crap cardio condition, and there are plenty of bodybuilders out...

It's worth it if you need to do it to consistently eat at a calorie deficit.

My point was that if you've spent years not taking nutrition seriously & spinning your wheels, you don't need to go...

You don't need to do anything "at its finest". If you eat less while getting enough protein & lift under a proper program, & devote time and consistency to it, you'll get to your goal. Use the...

IMO you're talking more about a set/rep powerlifting-type chart more than bodybuilding.

For bodybuilding, only the final visual result would matter whether it's due to special vitamins,...

What does how much you lift, how long you've been lifting or what exercises you do have to do with bodybuilding rankings? They have competitions to determine the "best", which is all still...

This is all that matters then.

This may not make you feel better, but if it's fake, the entire bottle, label, seal & cap are likely counterfeit.

Use whatever works for you, but if you're new to lifting & are going to use the smith bar, I suggest continuing to also do big lifts with a freestanding barbell so you learn the movements properly...

Well you excluded then added, so hard to say what "goes along with the whole program" - but in terms of "added exercises" they're ok I guess with following comments:

- Tricep Kickback: wouldn't...

Tell your trainer to do a better job then?

With a minimum level of thought & discipline, you'll find that you can maintain good health & athletic energy levels much better without IF.

Is having a protein shake instead of an actual meal considered a type of fasting? To me it seems like meal replacement, although light.

You may find it counterproductive to add those exercises after only working out 3 out of 4 weeks, rather than doing the program as-is for a while to get your main lifts up... esp if you're trying to...

So are you using your example to justify doing strength training or an argument against it? Kinda unclear why you mentioned it at all.

I’m going to guess that being a current or former Marine helps a bit.

hey bros, how much do you lat pulldown?

So run it. Nothing is "really necessary". It's your individualized workout so if you want to do something, you don't need to justify it to anyone else.
