Hi guys and girls.

I would like to hear your opinions on using a seatbelt on hack squats (not a powerlifting one, but the ones that help you strap yourself to the machine) vs not using it.

I’ve been using it for months and think it gives you stability and therefore you can push harder. For me, I’ve found the weight difference is around 1 plate…

Good evening guys, I was on Instagram today and Jordan’s post got me thinking. How exactly would you define accuracy when training?

I find myself sometimes slightly modifying form to get an extra rep, or maybe pausing several times (e.g. hack sq) to get some more reps (making it kind of a rest pause/Myo reps set), maybe sometimes speeding a bit…

To me 6 training days also sound like a lot to train with intensity. But I thought anyway I would be fresher for those few sets 24h after than if I do them at the end of the FB session.

Hi guys, what’s up.

I’ve been thinking about this for a few days and I’d love to have your take on it.

I’ve been currently training FB-R-FB-R-U-L-R for a few months. Around 1-2 sets per bodypart per FB session and 2-4 on UL sessions. I’ve been liking it overall and progressing pretty good but I’ve ran into a couple issues.

1- FB sessions have…

Happy Sunday everyone.
I was wondering what would be (for a natural) the benefits of regular bulking (1-2 lbs/week gain) vs let’s say 1-2 lb/month gain if you are able to progress your lifts at that calorie level.
I guess when you’ve got your newbie gains it is pretty sure to say you won’t create more than 1-2 lbs of lean tissue each month, so… Read more

Is there anything you would do differently to the first time you built the tissue? I guess the pace of getting the muscle back is quicker than the first time you build it, so maybe something has to be done differently too?

Good evening everyone:)

I am posting this here but I also would like to know your opinions regarding the nutrition part of it.

I suffered a serious illness that kept me from training for about a year, I´d say I lost most of my gains during that period, which let´s say could be around 20-25ish pounds of lean body mass gained through some years…

Thank you for your answers 🙂

Do you know anybody consistently making progress on it? I mean you can say pretty objectively that it is inferior to the seated machine for adductors right?

Hello everyone 🙂

I have one of this multihip machines in my gym and I’d say it is the only choice I have for training my adductors. I mean I could use cables, but I don’t have a seated adductor machine.

I am training fb-r-fb-r-u-l-r at the moment.

I would like to know your opinion on these machines. Are they worth trying in order to grow…

Got it!

Thanks a lot, it is always a privilege to learn from you 🙂

Hello everyone.

I’m now at the end of my diet phase and want to start growing doing the best job possible. I would like a steady push and I am curious on how would you set it up.

I am currently around 80kg, 2100kcals TD, 1800kcals NTD.

Step count is at 10k/day.

Cardio 3/4 times per week 30 minutes at around 140 bpm.

I would like to keep steps…

I’ll try that then. Thank all of you guys for helping.

The thing is I´m planning to switch from FB-R-FB-R-U-L-R to FB-R (and repeat). It is in my new split that I´m not sure where to place SLDL. Hope it makes sense now.

Thanks again 🙂

I am reposting this since I didn´t get a concluding answer, hope it is no problem 🙂

How would you guys program some sort of deadlift (RDL or SLDL) in a Fullbody-Rest-Repeat split?Seems to much to do it every other day right? Maybe having 4 FB rotations and substitute the leg curl for a DL in two of them would be nice?

Could you give me any…

Currently doing FB-R-FB-R-U-L-R. 2 different FB sessions and most U/L exercises different from FB sessions too. I only SLDL in lower now (1x per week).

I´m planning on switching gyms because my current one does not open on Sundays (which is why I´m on mentioned split instead of eod FB).

New gym is open everyday, so that´s where my question came…

I just saw a post with 400kg yep. wild.

Thanks Kuba.

Hi everyone!

I have a Nautilus Glute Drive machine in my gym, which I´ve been progressing just fine. I did a 200kg set the other day and realized it has a label saying Max Weight is 163kg.

I know machines tend to have a certain safety margin, in this case it seems to be above 200kg, but I was wondering how much would it hold without the…

Good afternoon everybody.

First of all, I would like to say that I´m new in here, so my apologies if my way of proceeding in the forum is not how it should be done.

I´ve been trying U L R for a while now and seen improvements from what I was doing before (U L R Push Pull Legs R). Anyway, since I am still small, I think I would benefit from high…
