Ya, that is a perfect example of something I just wrote to another dude above lol. Modulate intensity and do less per session volume and you can easily do full body. 

While true, recovery varies its not your split that determines how much recovery you need its intensity and volume you perform. As fatigue does not work on a per session basis fatigue builds up over time, hence why you go through peaks and valleys in strength. Managing fatigue is more about managing total volume and…

I don’t know your particular situation, so I’ll stick to generalities. However, I have back pain (perk of being 6'5) especially low-back pain and the convention deadlift intimidated me as well. However, there are lots of variations. If you’re taller a Hex-Bar Deadlift is wonderful, Sumo requires a lot less back…

Yup, for a newbie its a lot easier. Go to the gym consistently, eat enough protein, and do compound lifts (free wight or machines it doesn’t matter) and you’ll make progress. Honestly, unless you’re really keen you can do this for a year or more and make solid gains on strength and body composition without paying any…

This has been a topic of discussion in the science based fitness community. Generally, its as you say the key is fatigue management normally by doing lower volume than most are used too. There seem to be a few best practices most plans should follow if your goal is hypertrophy, I dont think this applies as much to…

I feel this is covered under the universal life hack, “Don’t be a dick”. As you said at the gym selfies are fine, a lot of the people who talk the selfies aren’t. However, if you are not a dick, then it is all good.

Yes, if you’re spending more time trying to set up the perfect shot than actually squatting when there is limited equipment that’s a problem.

Indeed.

Aiming to increase the amount of weight you can successfully lift for a given exercise by five pounds a week, for instance, may not seem like much, but over the course of months to a year, it makes an enormous difference.

Its much easier to return to where you once we, even older, than to build up to it in the first place.

Exact same thing happened to me. Dropped a Blissey in a provincial park a day before a lockdown over Christmas, it was gone for 45 days...

I dropped a Blissey in a Gym near the entrance to a Provincial Park over Christmas by my folks place. Well, not only did we go into lockdown a day later shutting down the park, but being an Ontarian winter it was cold. That Blissey stood guard for 45 days before it got kicked out. I hated every second because Blissey…

Theyre useful for getting Instagram sponsorships at least.

Ya, this is the key from moving from beginner intermediate to true intermediate. Its lovely when you can put more on the bar, push out an extra rep, add an extra km in the same time, almost every session. That slows down then stops. So many people get trapped by the intensity trap and wonder why they’re not improving.

You got to be trolling with this one. You can’t be this dense... no way. Regardless, last one.

Youre still talking about measuring it lol not causing it... of course a smaller person uses less energy... Theyre smaller.

I’m not talking about measuring energy expended I am talking about expending energy. Your heart rate is directly proportional to the strength of that particular muscle, the heart. I have a strong heart it beats less fast than a person with a weaker heart. I do not expend less than the person with the weaker heart.

Ya sounds like muscle imbalances resistance training helps even those out.

Ya. Some folks can grind out progress for a decade. Others msx out in half that time.

Heart rate has literally no effect on energy expended. Im a high level cyclist I can sustain a pace well in excess of the average rider and not break 125 bpm, doesn’t mean im not burning a lot of energy.
