I just bought a smith machine for my squat rack and you can install it vertically or at a 5 degree slant. Which would you all recommend?

I’m doing full body training right now. My gym doesn’t have an adductor machine, would it be worth it to try a cable adduction exercise with an ankle cuff or just skip it and do a different exercise?

This is what I was thinking:

Modified FB

Pull/Legs 1

T-Bar Row

Single Arm cable Pulldown

Cable side lateral raise

Barbell squat

Leg extension

Barbell hip thrust

Standing calf raise

Full Body 1

Incline Barbell Press

Seated dumbbell shoulder press

JM barbell press

Chest supported machine row (upper back focused)

Lat pulldown

Rear delt cable fly

Overhead…

Based on JP’s video of his modified full body split that was pull/legs, rest, full body, rest, repeat; what would the volume of sets per body part in these sessions look like? I understand that they vary based on development and training age etc but just as a starting point.

I am in process of buying equipment for my home gym and was thinking of getting either a leg press/hack squat combo machine or a pendulum squat. Just curious if you guys had a recommendation on one over the other and what brands you like? Thanks!

I have been training since I was 15 and I am going to be 40 in a few months. The largest I ever got was when I was 20 and on a cycle I got up to 230 lbs. I am 6’1 and right now I am not taking anything because my wife and I are trying for a 3rd kid. I am only weighing about 190. So my question is to whether I should go for a full body plan…

How important is it to eat as soon as you wake up? I usually get up at 7 and like to have some coffee and read a bit before I eat and usually have breakfast at 9. Is that bad? Or is it ok as long as I’m hitting my macros for the entire day?

My IT bands in both legs feel super tight, especially when hack squatting. Anyone have a good mobility routine to loosen it up?

I’ve never heard of this before but saw the ad on FB 😂. Does anyone know if it works? They claim no testicular shutdown…

Here’s the 2 products I’ve used – Alphaviril by HFL and T-Sterone by True Nutrition

I have some minor gyno, any over the counter supps I can take to help with it? Or is surgery/ drugs the only solution?

Does anything in the stack need to be cycled?

I’m doing the full body split and was wondering on the higher rep sets should I do continuous sets with no breaks or would it be a good idea to pause for a few seconds at like rep 10 and rep 15 so that I could handle a little heavier weight?

How much of a difference does it make in regards to how many of my meals are protein powder vs meat? I’ve seen some people say that powder is nutritionally inferior and digest too fast. So I’m wondering if I should keep it mainly for PWO or is the difference just negligible?

I am in the process of building a warehouse behind my home for my gym. It won’t be massive but big enough for a decent amount of equipment. I would love some recommendations from the guys who own their own gyms on what pieces of equipment they would pick if they had to chose 1 machine per body part to buy other than the basics like a squat rack… Read more

Not to stir up drama on the internet but this former pro Mike Van Wyck “wicked training” on YouTube just posted a video on progressive overload and mentioned JP specifically saying If anyone tries to emulate his training they will end up just tearing everything. Maybe we need JP to put out a response video lol. Kidding, kind of …

Just was curious if the USA site is still going to launch this month?

I’m doing a full body program right now. Would rack chins or pull-ups be a better lat exercise. I can only do about 5 pull-ups before failing

I haven’t done any cardio in a good while and am currently at about 18% body fat and am looking to get down to around 12% so that I am in a good position to put on some quality size. For my workouts I am doing full body every other day. What is a good approach to start adding cardio into my program?

Yeah I’ve been doing a decline BB press first before doing this exercise so I may try flipping them

Thanks y’all! (I’m from Texas haha)

What are some things I can do when I can’t progress an exercise before changing it out for another exercise? I’m thinking in terms of changing exercise order, adding drop sets, increasing food, etc?

For a example I am at 175lbs for 8 reps on my smith overhead press, I was not able to hit more reps from my previous session. I don’t think…

Thanks Jordan 👍

Is there a place to loosen up form and speed up tempo, maybe on higher rep sets? Or is it better to keep it pretty strict most of the time

Do wrist wraps add anything to performance or do they just help if your wrists are giving you trouble?

Since I can’t get steroids legally in the US are there any prohormone stacks/brands that would be recommended for a first cycle?

I’m currently at 16% body fat. Looking to cut down some then go on to a gaining phase.

Thanks
