Ah okay, I couldnt picture much beyond groping in my head. This makes more sense.

Holy shit thats a lot. Well with this much practice you can just seem like a natural. Ofc you could also be one.

I love this stupid acting. Timestamped

I get the feeling you are a natural.

I guess in loud night clubs? Everywhere else that would be inappropriate. How does it look like? How do you improve at it?

They never lean down for a bodybuilding show though. They would loose a lot of muscle. And generally Powerlifter and Strongmen will have phases or asseccory work of hypertrophy training. You usually need more time to for rest to refocus in between sets if you use very heavy loads and lighter loads also seem to be about twice as hypertrophic per set if you can trust the study that Jeff Nippard mentioned in that video you posted. So lighter loads should be much quicker for a good hypertrophy stimulus. I really noticed the cognitive benefit of lifting when I was gaming. Even when I was tired of the workout my mind and reflexes were refreshed after working out, it felt so healthy and magical. I dont want to miss that but I just dont like lifting anymore. Maybe there are other fun sports out there with similar benefits.

WTF!? I assume weight was adjusted for. Can you find the whole video for checking the study? this one is cruical I find it hard to tell how big Eddie Hall and Brain Shaw really are. Of course they are very big but there is so much fat on them its hard to tell. Of course getting strong gets you big but probably not in the most efficient way possible if hypertrophy is what your after. I think this is consensus on many studies that you can maintain muscle with incredible low volumes. I actually had the same feeling about it that the body would eventually learn and drop muscle when the maintenance volume would stay that low. Well for me homeostasis did kick in in my behaviour eventually and I went to the gym less then once a week. I have my maintenance approach for so long now, I could at least make an anecdotal claim about it if I strictly kept my routine damnit.

WWE is impressive in its own way. Your cusscessful MMA fighter wont have the charisma and acting ability of a WWE superstar.

I would give the King about a 3 just for smash value.

Lol, call it what you want. I can call your approach the meathead approach. I like my approach because it doesnt kill me. There are many sports I would rather do then going to the gym but for hypertrophy nothing can beat the gym so I want to be in and out as soon as possible with the most amout of results for my efforts. There are many things which train your grip. You can do dead hangs which are also incredibly healthy for your back. I am surprised you never heard about. Its one of the earliest concepts I learned about. Not in detail becaue I dont study this field but enough to get the general gist of it. I am not sure if CNS fatigue can be measured. But its plausible that both exercises which involve many big muscles and heavy sets are especially demanding for the CNS. Because the CNS manages how many muscles are recruited and their coordination. The CNS literally limits your muscle activity so you dont hurt yourself, Powerlifter train their CNS so that it stops nerfing their muscle activity so they can get all of their muscle activated during a lift. If you look at a 1 RM deadlift I think it makes intuitive sense that the body needs to do a lot of calculation and that this will be fatiguing.

@Carl-Richard I edited my original comment so much could you please reply to that one? Sorry. I can answer parts of your answer though. Well you quoted Dr Mike directly. If you want to critique him in such a major way then it should be accurate. Well I dont train nowhere near whats optimal for hypertrophy, I train in a way thats optimal for hypertrophy but do a few sets. Well I heard somewhere that grip strength is incredibly important for longevity. Oftentimes you cant find perfect 1 to 1 comparisons. But alright I agree, Eddie is significantly stronger. You know when you hit a some heavy sets of deadlifts and you have zero interest in continuing the workout as you just feel washed. Your muscles could continue but your system just doenst want to go anymore? Thats what I mean. There are also more scientific explanations out there which I cant provide tbh

That study says that 3x10 is about as hypertophic as 7x3 Well that just proves my point that higher reps are better for hypertrophy. Each set for 3 reps will likely be even more fatiguing then the set for 10 reps while not even being half as hypertrophic. If the science is indeed unclear about it then no it isnt pre-rational. The science seems to be pretty clear about it though so I dont see good arguments how one could justify to disregard it. Its personally what I care about most. I want to look good and I want to built a functional body with lots of longevity. I dont care how much I deadlift if it doesnt help me with these things. The 80/20 rule could be true in that context, that you need the last 80 percent of muscle to get the last 20 percent of strength. But that would imply that strength and muscle arent strongly connected with each other as you can have lots of strength and very little muscle. The argumentation get strong to get big doenst really hit the nail then. By that standard Larry Wheels would be almost as muscular as "Eddie Hall / Brian Shaw / Greg Kovac" because he is almost as strong if strength is what makes you muscular. If you like strength and like to train with low reps and dont care about managing your ressources perfectly to optimize hypertrophy then there is nothing wrong with doing heavy sets. It will also be somewhat hypertrophic. I am simply arguing about what optimizes hypertrophy. Maintenence volume is very low. Studies show you can train with 1/9th of your muscle building volume and maintain all of your gains.

Wondering about that as well. His account isnt deleted. You know more? I know about his temperament.. and he was often in conflict with Leo. He had zero respect for Leo as an authority figure, sometimes his tone was disrespectful and sometimes he pointed out flaws in Leo. I feel like he wasnt an unhealthy presence but I would imagine that it would be hard for Leo to tolerate.

For hypertrophy the range is 5 - 30 reps. Dr. Mike would never say 3 - 5 reps in this context. No I assume there are no studies who look at exactly that. Studies just give general pointers into what you train with your rep ranges etc. Ofc a rep isnt perfectly defined but the pointer 5- 30 reps for hyperthrophy suggests that 1 rep or 100 reps if they arent performed in a very unusal way are likely not that effective for hypertrophy. Well I argue about whats best for hyperthrophy. Obviously if thats not the goal the optimal training must look very different. He isnt as strong as the strongest but the strength gap isnt huge while the muscle size grap is pretty massive. But even Eddie Hall will also have some hyperthorphy built into his training regiment as he needs the muscle size to use for strength later. I think we already argued about that and Eddie Hall in this context specifically.

Is it purely a hyperthrophy program or also about strength?

That like the most basic pointer of science. I see the point of going inwards and listening to your bodies signals and intelligence but if you keep science completly out of it, it becomes a mythical pre-rational not so sophisticated approach I feel like. Size and strengh arent antithetical to one another, you can certainly be very strong and also very muscular. Strength implies a certain degree of size and muscle a certain degree of strength. But look at Larry Wheels for example, he has a muscular built of cause but is nowhere near in size compared to Olympians out there who dont have the strength of him. Like Kai Greene:

In RV I sometimes have an impression which I cant really put into words so I safe the safe details, like I have some impression which is about something and a detail is that it is purple, so I write down purple. That seems to be a mistake, I should capture the gist of it and if it isnt about that detail I shouldnt write it down. I had the impression freedom/ capturing today and the target was a baby turtle coming out of its egg and this was the gist of the impression which was hard to capture and I almost missed it.

Sure, but everything below 5 reps isnt optimal for hypertrophy.

Do you know the term ego lifting? Ofc there are legit cases of people being interested in powerlifting.

How does white respond to Black Queen c1 in your scenario?

Why would you test your strength for a 1 rep max if you can do it for reps? You can test your 10 rep max and then again 3-6 month later again. 1 rep max performance heavily depends on your central nervous system which is why skinny lifter can sometimes lift insane numbers. Their nervous system is just well trained.

Black Queen to to c3 to grap the Bishop. Whites best move seems to be white Bishop to c2, threatening to mate on the h7 square with the white Queen next turn and also discover attacking the Black Queen with a Rook. Black Queen to g5 buys a turn and gets the Queen out of danger. White can offer a Queen trade with white Queen to g4, or retreat the white King to h1 in which case Black needs to cover the threat of mate on h7. The lower Black Knight to f6 seems like a solid choice as it also forces the Queen out.

This is hilarious. Will continue watching it tomorrow:

I just remember a friend always liked stunlock me when he asked me a question which ended with " ... but what does it really mean?" I only noticed that when he showed that to a friend of mine.

This wasnt covered by any of my news sources. Is this a troll for clicks? I expect some of that. This is the source they quoted on Reddit, but I dont know if it is legit: https://www.justice.gov/multimedia/Court Records/Giuffre v. Maxwell, No. 115-cv-07433 (S.D.N.Y. 2015)/1332-16.pdf
