    1. Most people don’t need a more advanced hypertrophy program, they simply need to do the basics better
    2. M51, 2 years of consistent lifting, strength up but minimal visible muscle gain — what am I doing wrong?
    3. I need some advice and an outside perspective

  • Question
    7 posts in the past month
    1. Why is Mike the profile pic for this subreddit ?
    2. Pretty lost on side delt training for hypertrophy — I usually do 8 sets of cable lateral raises and 8 sets of shoulder press per week, but now I’m wondering if I should add in seated dumbbell lateral raises, because I feel like my shoulders aren’t growing. I’ve been training consistently for a year.
    3. Something Is fundamentally wrong with my lower body

    1. Full ROM vs lengthened partials: where I think people are overcomplicating it
    2. hot take: if you have long legs, ditching barbell squats is the best move for quad growth
    3. Input on my training plan
