Stupid question, but does it matter much if you're seated or standing when doing an exercise? Like I've seen people do bicep curls or lat raises while sitting. I always stand up when I do everything unless I'm doing skull crushers or something like that.

Is there more benefit to one way vs. the other?

Think you can lift heavier doing seated bicep curls. As for lateral raises, I guess seated give you less momentum to swing so its more focused

Always seen the gym douches with the gallon water jugs and colored BCAA added concoctions. Do you feel the actual results from taking that? Currently I'm only taking creatine. :lupe:

Yeah I dont understand nikkas drinking a whole gallon of colored water during the workout, like all that is gonna do is make you feel bloated and shyt

I only take it because I follow lean gains, and he recommends that you take it to prevent muscle lose during fasted training. I have been taking it pre-workout for a few months and despite fasted lifting, my strength has continuously increased. I feel stronger every single week. I have nothing to compare it to though because I never really did fasted training before this.

nothing wrong wit staying hydrated. I carry around a gallon jug. I take creatine which makes your muscles absorb a whole lot more fluid/water so you feel thirsty throughout pretty much the whole time you work out. After ONE set of 5 of heavy deadlifts my mouth is pretty much dried out/parched.

These clowns around here rarely do squats or deadlifts...I've seen one or two other guys do it and I've been here a month various times of the day. After a good sets of deads I'm thirsty as well. :whoa:
Bicep curls and shrugs to oblivions ain't shyt to carry a jug around. :pacspit:

Did some ATG pause squats w/ 225. I tried 275 on my last set and got it for 3 reps...think I'm back. :lupe: Finished off with some bulgarian split squats and some jump squats. Almost to that 26'' thigh mark.

For some reason I prefer ATG to parallel...when I'm doing the latter I can never get my mind to remember the midway point and I always fukk up my momentum. ATG is simple and to the point. I just have to make sure my back stays erect and not to curve my lower back. The stretch feels good as well. :wow:

I highly recommend the ON brand creatine as well.
