Well somehow I read the thread as asking about strength and then realized it's actually asking about growth... sorry for wasting your time with the above but I figure some may find it interesting so...

Got to be careful with the term "volume" here. For example, maybe one study compares 3 sets of 8 reps with 60 seconds rest vs 180 seconds rest. If they match volume by having the same weight then you...

When you raise your legs up at the start and then actually pull yourself up your legs do not have to go up with the rest of your body; they can actually move down while your upper body moves up....

Got in an early workout today prior to my 2nd COVID-19 vaccine.

Deadlifts: 395x5 (felt good but starting to get heavy)
FT bench press: 45x9 (+5 lbs, felt good)
FT rows: 55x10 (+1 rep, felt good)...

You can always add in low-to-high cable flyes after a set of pressing if you have access to a pulley. Decline pushups should also be good as you said.

Edit: if you don't have access to a pulley...

Seeing an orthopedist if you have not it awhile as you may need more imaging. Then also physical therapy. Do you have decent health insurance?

That analysis actually only looked at randomized controlled trials with statins, ezetimibe, or PCSK9 inhibitors. So it was probably the LDL reduction itself.

So the Lancet analysis was quite interesting. It does indicate that aiming for lower LDL is beneficial regardless of one's baseline level and underlying risk. They see a 19% relative risk reduction...

I skimmed through the full thread.

Current American Heart Association guidelines:

As indicated above, the hamstrings will be under a greater stretch if seated than lying so seated may be preferable, but also indicated above I do not expect this to make a huge difference and if one...

Today's workout:

Paused high bar back squats: 270x5 (+1 rep, felt good even though it felt heavy when warming up)
Paused weighted dips: BW+90x4 (same as last session)
Paused weighted hammer grip...

Today's workout:

Cable laterals: 10x14 (+1 rep), 12
Strict EZ bar curls: 100x4/80x5 (+1 rep on top set), Low cable curls: 25x9
Rear delt cable laterals: 5x15 (+1 rep),

There's actually a forum for this: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26

Delete this thread, make a new thread there, and make it clear what your budget is as well as how much space...

Today's workout:

Paused high bar back squats: 270x4 (+5 lbs, felt good in my quads)
Paused weighted dips: BW+90x4 (+2.5 lbs, challenging)
Paused weighted hammer grip chins: BW+90x4 (+2.5 lbs,...

You can also grab into a doorpost and curl yourself into it. Isometric curls would also be an option against anything really heavy.

Basically I set up my ironmaster super bench pro to the full upright position and put it in the center of the functional trainer for the bench press. Then I set the handles to chest height and face...

If all of those exercises hurt your back despite your back only being a stabilizer in those movements then I really think your time would be best served to once again discuss with your surgeon or...

As a pediatrician I can confidently say kids can train safely as long as they are supervised. If there are other concerns I cannot comment on those obviously but from a health perspective it is...

You would likely benefit from checking in with the surgeon who performed the surgery and then undergoing physical therapy. Are these options for you?

Well your doctor should be able to refer you to an endocrinologist. Not sure your insurance situation. If it's been at the same level for 3 years it's likely not urgent to figure it out but I would...
