Ask me anything fitness related (srs) (17k reps for legit questions I can't answer)

[CodyChan]

Hey the gang is here now

Omw to the gym brahhs

[Ka0s]

If by learned from you, you mean are baffled at you still being 25% bodyfat after 4 years of lifting, then yes a lot of gsfers learned from you

[TSwiftToujours]

How do people get such high reps

[DDon1996]

Lel Stawn, from what I'm told you actually know how ster0ns work now... So proud. *sniffle sniffle*

[Ka0s]

You've never even used them

[Supearman]

Why is/was cholesterol counted as a macronutrient?

[DDon1996]

100% USAPL natty brah. I still love you doe.

Why is/was cholesterol counted as a macronutrient?

I didn't know it was?

[Ka0s]

Gjdm

I can swear I've heard it several times on different occasions

Now that I searched it on Google I couldn't find anything, must've been dreaming. Sorry lol

[johndoejd54]

If you could take the west side template and modify it for a thrower(shotput, discus) what would you do?

How would you lift for these throws while in season?(practice about 5 times a week with 1 meet every week for 3ish months)

What rehab/prehab would you do to maintain the shoulders while they go through the extreme repetition of throwing?

Tell me an excercise that can be done in any gym that would bring out the serratus anterior

Can't tell if trolling or srs.

1800@18 is huge @198

What suit and shirt do you wear now? I was kind of looking into the single ply stuff just to try out geared lifting

[Ka0s]

Im just saying that while u claim to have educated a lot of gsfers on gear use, I can not think of a regular poster who has a worse physique than u

Maybe u should tone down the ego

[albino2727]

I taught Ka0s everything he knows

[albino2727]

Hey ka0s you were supposed to disagree with me or something

[DDon1996]

All good brah.

Talk to your throwing coach. I don't know anything about throwing brah.

For the serratus, anything involving protraction will hit it.

1800@18 is huge @198

I don't total 1800, it's just a lofty goal. Most I've totalled was just over 1500. Never lifted in gear, sorry.

Im just saying that while u claim to have educated a lot of gsfers on gear use, I can not think of a regular poster who has a worse physique than u

Maybe u should tone down the ego

Strong fallacies. It is a fact that I have taught a lot of GSFers **** about gear- yourself included. Whether or not you'll admit it because I make you feel some type of way is another story.

No ego here- I didn't claim to look better than anyone or be better than anyone. I'm just helping people learn things that will benefit them and/or things that just plain interest them.

Again I'm not sure if you're trawlin' or srs... But in either case I'm not the sensitive 14 year old who wants to fit in with the cool e-kids anymore brah, I could not care any less about how people feel about me on here- people I have or would consider my "efriends," again yourself included, included.

I'm currently doing SS and whenever i'm on my 2nd or 3rd set of bench I can't seem to maintain good scapular retraction. I can instantly feel the difference when I can't maintain it towards the end of my sets and it might be the reason I've been hung up on the last rep of my 3rd set twice now. It seems to be a problem mainly when I try to increase the weight, but whenever I reset back, i'm always able to do the previous weight.

Focus on extension at the elbows. You have to make sure that you don't allow any protraction of the scapula when pushing the bar up. Take a band and do a pull-apart to get a good grasp of how it feels and maintain that feeling the entire time.

So basically, while benching I should always be trying to pull the bar apart when I hold my grip?

[Simon576]

if you've only been working out for 4 months would you still be expected to be making fast muscle gains?

[DDon1996]

Yeah that's a pretty common cue.

Yes.

[stronktri]

hi, I always have a weird feeling when I'm benching on my elbow. It's like a electric shock...thingly feel.. how do i solve that and also I'm sure my form is 100% correct.

[albino2727]

You're doing something that's putting pressure on a nerve

If you're 100 percent sure that your form is perfect it looks like your body is just anatomically ****ed for benching

Sorry man

(it's probably your form)

[kurse196]

Whats a good program to use during my first bulk? SL 5x5, SS, Ice cream fitness, etc..

[DDon1996]

What Albino said- electric shocks/tingles are usually neural in nature. If your form is correct you can try massage therapy or chiropractic work.

SS is great.

[letsdothisbro]

I was not aware of the GSF meet up

[balldeep]

If i only worked one half of my whole body could I become a half body muscle man?

[DDon1996]

Yes and it would be epic.

[antonha]

My chest is lacking both strength and sizewise. Is this a good thing to do to get em both? I first do 5 sets of 3 reps on the bench press for strength. Then I do incline dumbbell press for like 8 reps for a fix of strength and size. Then I finish with pumping the chest with sets of 13-15 reps on the flies.
I do a push/pull/legs split. I also do this way when doing the shoulder exercises. Will this work to get both strength and size or should I just do either strength or hypertrophy training?

[Bruno93]

What's your view about 20 rep squat program?
