GORDON posted:Short hoodie guy was training someone today, and I heard him say, "See that long muscle there? That's your bicep. But there's also another muscle right next to it, and you need to work that one too with a closer grip on the bar." There's 4 major muscles in the upper arm. Bicep (two distinct cords), triceps (three cords), brachialis, radiobrachialis. He was probably talking about the radiobrachialis which also forms a part of the forearm.

At a certain weight, yeah, drop it. It's dangerous to hold onto it as it goes down. This dude obviously hit that benchmark a looooong time ago.

LoL after he says "that was really heavy" Most of those lifts in that video are incomplete ego lifts but I feel like a bounce rep of an 800lb deadlift is ok. Then again Leeman does 8x800 with basically no bounce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EEGp-66TuI&t=480s

Because I enjoy a good quality life and feel it would be diminished greatly if I had to work that hard at something I have no interest in. Also the chances of that effort paying off are around 1:8,000,000,000. Thirdly, I have access to a nice Case tractor and also an a-frame on wheels if I need to lift 800lbs.

if you curl a 25 lb weight a ton instead of doing progressive heavier bicep curls ..will you just get really veiny biceps ? What happens if you do tons of reps with relatively low weight ?

You can go on an alcoholic binge and not lose much but you won't gain much either. I was wondering about this so I did some research. Your mileage may vary if you're not in your 20s.

jarbv posted:There's not a lot of support for German Volume Training shoulder days out there in the world I did something like that in the beginning of this year and ended up with some really swole tendons and then I got to do Zero Volume Training. I'd be a lot swoler all around if I wasn't an idiot and could listen to my own advice.

Does anyone know if there is a worthwhile difference to training your shoulders by themselves against doing them on chest/back day and leaving side laterals for their own day? I have been wondering this for a bit because shoulder day is underwhelming.

What happens if you do tons of reps with relatively low weight ? this is very general advice but you absolutely should be progressively working most muscle groups across a spectrum of low/heavy weight (4-7 reps), medium/moderate weight (8-12 reps) and high/lightweight (15-25 reps) ranges.
