most people who use the leg press let their butt round w/out realizing it. the key to using it properly is controlling the motion at stopping the descent right before you ass actually tucks. most people i see overload the machine, rush the reps, and destroy their backs. i'm not saying that's what you're doing but that's what i see. it's the same w squats, it's never a good idea to go beyond the butt wink, it puts massive stress on your lower back, especially w heavy weight.

It's almost as though there's a hypersensitivity to avoid having a 2" ROM so they overcompensate by having a 20' ROM

if you're targeting quads i've always found walking db and bulgarian lunges hit them more directly

Reverse lunges too are good

Those Mio water enhancers are the truth. I was having a hard time drinking enough water on days I didn't work out, but now I can get through a whole gallon in just a few hours.

You don't even need to put that much in. Just one to two squirts to give your water a little extra flavor.

Anything with sucralose or aspartame gives me headaches

Of course they'd start putting it in everything

Starting to incorporate RDLS and high rep walking lunges as a superset, damn its tough tbh.

I made a thread about it but barely anyone checks it, figure I'd post it here. It's my 2nd week back in 4-4.5 years. Was gonna originally do the Jim Stoppani Shortcut to size workout but went on bodybuilding forums and everyone who is a beginner is following the plan below. For years people have been doing it.


Workout Programs



Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated.

1. Do yall take protein shakes on non-workout days? And if so, how much?

2. I'm tryna get bigger but I do have some gut. That gon naturally become muscle as I workout, or I gotta do something about that? Currently after every workout I do 2 sets of 25 reps of situps with a medicine ball

1. If I need one to hit my target daily protein intake, sure. If not, then no. Basically, find a target diet for your macros (protein, fat, carbs) and work from there.

2. Fat won't turn to muscle. But you will lose fat and add muscle. Situps don't do a damn thing for your gut. Just need to lose fat in general.
