If you have trained hard and eaten well for 4 years and don't have a great physique then you did not hit the genetic lottery. You need to come to terms with this and change your expectations. There...

This has been something I have found interesting for awhile but there were so many components it was difficult to wrap my head around it. I finally got around to attacking it head on and I've now put...

Today I just did a shoulder/arms workout. Two drop sets for the side delts, rear delts, biceps, triceps, and then 1 set each of several different forearm movements. All of it felt good.

Any impact from salt manipulation will last just a couple of days, not long-term. So it would potentially be helpful for a photoshoot, but nothing that a little Photoshop couldn't account for.

Today's workout:

Paused high-bar back squats: 265x3 (did these with a slow eccentric and they felt very good)
ATG split squats: 20s x5, 30s x5, 40s x5 (also felt good)
Functional trainer bench...

If you have a buddy who has accomplished this then why not ask your buddy for advice?

Today's workout:

Paused high bar back squats: 245x3x3
Paused dips: BW+90 x3x2
Paused swivel-grip chin-ups: BW+90 x3x2
ATG split squats: 40x5 (had the rear leg elevated and this felt good)...

I very much doubt it. Reflux is constant when it is really bad, presumably you are not continuously ingesting the lemon juice.

Had gastroenteritis on Sunday, which may have been associated with my knee issues the day prior, and am now down 4 pounds, but feeling much better and lifted today:

Bulgarian split squats: 70s x5...

Today's workout:

High-bar back squats: 225x10, 225x6, 225x1 - right knee wasn't happy at the end of these sets but the squats felt good on my muscles. Probably need to descend more slowly than I...

Perhaps you have a genetic mutation that makes soreness more likely: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4983298/

Aging should not cause that in only 4 weeks. Something else is going on. Have you been out in the sun more? A lot of people can get various skin reactions to sunlight.

I agree with the above; figure out what you are cleared to do from your surgeon and then work with physical therapy to develop a rehabilitation plan to maximize your functionality.

Today's workout:

Paused deadlifts: 335x2x5
Paused bulgarian split squats: 70s x4
Dips: 17
Swivel-grip chin-ups: 14

Then I did a bunch of shoulder/arm stuff. Really happy with how the...

That would be easy enough for someone to try.



Antioxidants and cold therapy tend to decrease gains and while the former doesn't have consistent evidence of decreasing DOMS (if I recall...

It should not, and DOMS typically significantly decreases after 3 weeks of training consistently so any impact it has would likely be transient.

Side note as I find this interesting: we still...

Today's workout:

High-bar back squats: 205x10, 10, 6
Flat barbell bench press: 185x8, 165x10
Seated rows: 180x8, 160x10

Happy with all of this. Upper body was still fatigued from last week so...

Today's workout:

Paused deadlifts: 315x2x5
Paused bulgarian split squats: 70s x2x3
Leg extensions: 90x6/4 (one-legged), then 90x8 two legged but lying back at a slight decline, this burned so...

Today's workout:

High-bar back squats: 195x10
Flat barbell bench press: 185x7, 165x9
Seated rows: 180x7, 160x9

This was good. Got interrupted with a phone call after the first set of squats...

If strength training is improving your mood/sleep then you likely do not have true overtraining syndrome.
