You could challenge your bodies capacity for tolerating fatigue with doing lots of volume with other exercises as well.. Whats unique about the 1 RM deadlift is that its a ton of stress for a short time. When I started doing deadlift back in the day I always got very lightheaded until I got used to it. If that is of use and a worthy opportunity cost for other hypertrophy work later I dont know. Yeah, Mikes training style does feel smart and like you are training your body like a machine, that resonates with me. Its not unique to Mikes training though. I find it very hard to identify what is intuitive with all the subconscious programming we have which influences training. From male role model, believes about fitness from culture, influence of other gym goers, motivation level, testosterone, surpressed emotions, ... Can you imagine a child intuitively training for muscle growth?

Getting some replies. She seems to be a pro but its possible she is faking it.

You can probably find an accountability partner on reddit. Looks promising: https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=accountability+partner+adhd&type=communities&cId=1ddc8fc5-6641-4593-ba20-fe8cd1280de6&iId=d831b5b2-4091-4730-9b05-4ef13ec9e821 Tell me if you succeed though.

There are sources, websites etc. where you can find a reliability partner. Someone who asks you if you got your goals done? Has anyone experience with it? Feels like a commitment to start something like this. I have extremely high success with body doubling, its basically the only way for me to focus with adhd, so I am thinking that maybe there are some parallels.

No I havent ... It sounds a bit psycho but also genius. Could honestly be effective. I watched one of Dr. Mikes video about his struggle with adhd. Was this a side recommendation of him or does he do more content and tipps about adhd in extra videos? I blocked my Youtube because of adhd.

Maybe, maybe it acually needs more time under tension, I dont know. I dont know how science argues about it enough. Hehe, yeah thats how I would picture a hypertrophy stimulating 1 rep max as well. But that cant be the answer, either a not so grindy 1 RM (or close to 1 RM) is stimulating enough for hypertrophy or 1 RM should be reserved for strength. The amount of fatigue you accumulate with this one rep is unholy. A whole workout will cause less fatigue then this. CNS fatigue!? Would you say "scientific lifting" overlaps heavily with "intuitive lifting aimed at hypertrophy" ? Whats the difference?

For the strongmen they would need to cut more then 10-20% of their 10000 kcal diet. You are mostly in danger when you get very lean, to get shredded muscle needs to be sacrified. To get relatively lean not so much. Maintenance volume rises in a cut of course. Yeah I see what you are saying. But generally what science suggests is that a big spectrum of rep ranges work for hypertrophy. I used GPT to research the scientific body a bit and it turns out very heavy sets (1-2) reps are rarely measured for their hypertrophy stimulus directly because such studies are hard to do. Its more indirectly that scientist believe that very heavy sets arent as good for hypertrophy because the amount of effective reps (reps close before failure where all the wonderful stimulus happens) are so little as its mostly just 1 rep compared to sets with 6 , 12 , 20 reps with more effective reps before failure so thats why it doenst seem as effective. Your body may point intuitively to some way of training but is that intuition pointed towards what you want? In my case maximum hypertrophy. Does my goal and my bodies intuition align? I would consider 12 - 15 reps mid to high reps. Generally you want to do the whole rep range from time to time though. I dont really have a bias for a specific rep range I think. Well with some exercises I need a higher rep range to actually feel the muscle. And with Quads I try to be in the lower rep range as it makes the exercise easier psychologically.

Asked in my Discord RV group if someone can view a target for me. Lets see how it goes. You always have options..

I need to completle regain trust in RV. First step is showing that it actually works. The best way is to ask other remote viewers to view something for me.

I just honestly explained my RV situation to someone else which actually helps a lot and gives an extra reality check. I contemplated with GPT about the possibility of it being a fraud. I thought it would be possibly that they would give me advice even after receiving all this payment so that it doesnt seem like a fraud and they keep their reputation but the advice so far seemed so authentic and the video calls as well, I couldnt imagine someone that heartless, he would need to be a complete sociopath. However I can ask him or professional remote viewer to view a target I have of course!! That would explain at least make the part clear if remote viewing is real or not. Then it can still be a fraud but it would be less likely.

Its possible. Depends on the case. I dont think its possible in your case though, you seem so invested. You need to be emotionally over her for it to work.

Interesting how non professional actor act differently All of those people make it very clear that they are looking at something, while Kai Greene just looks at something.

The most cis men humor I heard in a long time.

They would have a harder time to keep the muscle while loosing the fat if it turns out that higher rep training is more hypertrophic then strength training, but thats the basis of our discussion I believe. Well a mix of strength training and hypertrophy and constant "bear mode" will get you far ofc. Btw. Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw are strongmen though. In strongmen events you do mostly exercises where you need strength endurance. 1 rep maxes dont train that optimally. They likely train mostly in the hypertrophy range anyway. I dont think Olympian BB are always the pinnacle of maximum muscle development when I think about it, some symmetrie and proportion is important. Greg Kovac, despite being arguably the biggest BB ever never placed highly because of it. A big gut often carries with it more muscle, but its unaesthetic. Well that makes a basis for argumentation pretty small. Btw. do you think that all intuitive training will lead to strength based training? What do you think about the Golden Age bodybuilder who did lots of sets. They didnt have the science so they trained in a way that intuitively felt good. And then Mike Mentzer the science guy came along with his one set high intensity style lol. There is a calisthenics icon which I cant find anymore unfortunately. He collabed with Jeff Nippard and I believe Frank Yang at some point. He does his own intuitive training style and does unholy amounts of volume every day. 2020 pull ups to new year and stuff like that. What do you make of that?

They are great for travelling especially. But sometimes they are a bit too great, didnt hear the ringing at my door when my chimney sweeper came.

Queen is worth about 9 Rook 5 Bishop 3 Knight 3 Pawn 1 Obviously in regular chess the King has maximum value. But its also obvious that this is quite a reductionistic estimation as the Kings movement options can be compared to the other pieces. The Kings movement is above that of a Pawn and below that of a Queen. So I always wondered how much value the King has based on its movement options. But because the King cant be used in a regular combative sense as he needs to play in a way to always be preserved and also cant stay in checks its playstyle is quite limited. And you also cant really turn chess into a pure combat game as a thought experiment where the goal is to defeat all your enemies pieces to estimate how strong the King is because in chess you win by defeating the King which can be done in a more elegant and effective way then smashing all your enemies pieces before they smash yours. Obviously smash value will collerate strongly with regular value but I think some pieces are better for checkmating then for smashing. For example I think a Bishop is better for checkmates then a Knight who is better for smashing pieces. Depending on the context of course. If you ask the question how much value a piece has for checkmating the opposing King then I think you can get to the value of the King. This would be my formula: The value of the King for checkmating the opposing King - The material and opportunity cost to defend the King = The value of the King In the early game this will likely be negative value and in the late game the value can become positive. What do you think is the smash value of the King btw. as I think this is still an important pointer?

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.
