If I have plateu'd on barbell bench press, and I switch it out for dumbbell bench and I consistently get stronger at that week to week, and then I transition back to barbell, will I now be stronger...

Hi all

I don't understand why I have really poor depth on leg press. Whenever I use it I can barely get half ROM unless I place my feet really high, which obviously takes away from the quads a...

Just done them again tonight and it's more about 2 inches above the nipple line. I try to keep my back upright but bringing my chest up towards the bar.

I still get a decent pump in my lats but...

I normally do Lat Pulldowns with an upright position like a pull-up and I will lightly touch the top of the chest around the nipple line before letting it go back up.

When I start to hit fatigue...

When bulking, should calories be reduced to maintenance during a deload?

My reasoning being that there is less stimulus and also less calorie burn so any weight gained during a deload week is more...

Appreciate the comments but like everyone I'd like to improve so just want to know if you'd cut or bulk in my shoes right now?

I feel like if I bulk I'll look chubby and if I cut I'll be skinny.

My bad. Updated the privacy settings now

Hi Guys

I'm skinny fat with very little muscle mass.

I'm 5'11 and have cut to about 166lbs.

I've uploaded a pic onto my profile, do you think I should keep cutting or be looking to gain...

Is there like a certain of weight to lose/gain that's most optimal?

I'm currently doing a cut and have lost 6lb. If I was to slow bulk at 2lbs a month I could bulk for 3 months to gain that 6lbs...

The hard and fast answer I was looking for, nice one.

Hey guys

Everywhere I look/read I see that for optimal muscle growth that reps should be done fairly slow on the ecentric and concentric, sometimes with a pause etc

How optimal is this opposed...

This is helpful thanks mate

Hey guys

As the title says my genetics are weird in that I'm not really short, I'm 5ft 11 but I have short legs and a long torso.

I'm having issues with my conventional Deadlift with my back...

Great reply, thanks.

How often do you think the stimulus should be changed? Whenever I hit a plateau?

Hi

I read on the fierce 5 intermediate thread that you could probably stay on the program "forever".

But I have also heard from other sources that your routine should be regularly changed to...

Thought it might be something like that, thanks.

So when it says "halve the progression" it means add a rep every 2 weeks and increase weight every 4 weeks as opposed to adding a rep after a week...

Also it says "on dumbbell exercises the progressions should be halved"

Why is that? The dumbbells go up in increments of 2.5kg then surely I just add the weight every 2 weeks like the program says?

Yeah my bad, it's 45 degree

Hey guys I'm about to start this program after doing the novice routine for about 6 months but I have some questions about the routine.

I think im most likely splitting hairs with these questions...

Yeah I'll try the deload first.

Any suggestions if I do the deload and still seem to hit a wall with my lifts? For example if hit the same weight about 3 times with my OHP and reset and the same...
