Thanks for the reply. Do you think I’d be better off with back squats and deadlifts as my main movements over fronts + rdls? I tend to ramp up to pretty high volume for legs and so I’m thinking the...

I train legs twice a week with my goals being mass and general strength. Just wondering if my leg days are a bit weak. Looking for feedback on exercise selection and volume. All suggestions are...

True that’s a good point. I’ll have to do that. Thanks for the help

Yeah this makes sense. I’m also guilty of going to failure at times which I think adds to the issue.

Is there any correlation between lifting at higher intensities/lower reps and an increased likelihood of developing asymmetries? I’ve done 8+ reps for the majority of my training but this year was...

Ahh okay. Thank you for your help

That actually makes a lot of sense. How low in reps do you go for weighted pull-ups?

I’m running lyles GBR upper lower routine, currently doing the powerbuilding cycle. This cycle calls for main lifts to be done for sets of 5 and assistance lifts for sets of 8-12. One of the guys at...

That makes sense. Thanks for writing that up!

Wouldn’t a rep goal style allow you to better maintain the same rir on each set? Can you give me an example on how to maintain the same rir when doing the same reps each set (3x5 etc.)? For the same...

In Lyles GBR, he suggests after 8 weeks of the ‘hypertrophy’ phase to move onto the ‘strength/hypertrophy’ phase (powerbuilding) for the next 8 weeks. But there’s no real outline on how to do that...

Thanks for the help. Just had a look at fierce 5 upper lower and it’s actually quite similar volume wise. 2 push and pull compounds for 3 sets each upper day and 3 sets for bi/tri per week. This has...

Hmm I understand. To me arm training is less taxing than laterals and face pulls so I put them at the end. Do you think arm volume is too little?

Just a basic double progression. Hit the top rep in the range for all sets, increase weight by smallest increment.

I'm about to come off my first deload in quite a long time and so I'm starting off with slightly lower volume than prior to the deload. Just wondering if volume is too low for some muscle groups? and...

Thanks so much for your help

But essentially the lower back contracts similarly in the deadlift and RDL? I only ask because I’m trying to bring up my hams and glutes and usually deadlift one leg day and RDL the other. I plan on...

Yep that makes sense. In the case of a conventional deadlift, aren’t you pretty much performing an RDL once the bar reaches mid shin? Just trying to understand the mechanics of how the deadlift...

Hey everyone. Just wondering how hard Romanian Deadlifts work the lower back compared to a conventional deadlift. I hear some people say that RDLs dont really work the lower back that much and mainly...

Thanks!
