Thanks man!

You know it!

That is a solid squat man! How did the new stance feel? Sometimes a different stance will feel better right of the bat, even if strength is down the first time doing it. If it feels better and more stable, it might be worth progressing on for a while to see if you can blow past your previous best of 135kg!

@@ChrisJakob264 Thanks! It's been a year since I started working out seriously. Recently, I had an idea about how to squat deeper while reducing my risk of injury. I revisited some powerlifting videos and noticed something I hadn’t picked up on before: all the powerlifters have a slightly-wider-than-shoulder-width stance with their feet pointed somewhat outward. I decided to adopt this form primarily to prevent injury. How does it feel? Well, emotionally, becoming much weaker sucks. Physically, I don’t feel as stable as I used to. When I got close to failure, I felt like my balance was off, and if I hadn’t tried to stabilize myself with my legs, I might have tilted toward my right side. I know my body needs time to recover, so maybe the strength reduction was largely due to lingering fatigue from the previous week. It could also be a lack of muscle memory with the new stance. Perhaps a stance somewhere between my old and current one might work best for me. My main priority is finding a good form that minimizes injury risk and allows me to comfortably lower my body until the top of my legs at the hip joint is below the top of my knees.

Thanks!

Thanks for coming!

Hey! I still do use macro factor! The I tried going to a free app for a few days and came straight back 🤣

Thanks! That’s a good idea, in the meantime you should check out my video “RPE for Bodybuilding. I show exactly how I set up rpe progressions for long term progressive overload!

Thanks man! I like to start off from a natural squat position, depending on the individual this will probably be slightly wider than hip width. A good way to find this to grab onto the rack, or a resistance band on the rack at about hip level then lean back in bend into a squat until you are hanging and resting on your calves/hammies. The foot width that let’s this feel the most effortless will be a great spot to start from!

Always match to the label

I’m not bothering, if it gets that wrong it’ll know whether you need to eat more or less based on your weight loss/gain, it moves you towards your goal as healthily as it can.

With the portions on there it’s 564 calories!

Because the room you record in is FAR more important than your mic. Also, he had the mic pointing down, so the cardioid pattern is facing at the floor away from him, literally recording echoes.

@@cr0p_dustin It's also a condenser mic, picking up sound in a wider area like the humming of the fridge. Definitely needs more sound treatment in the room for better quality sound still.

I use this app and restaurants are in there as well. It definitely has a vast amount of foods. Plus the barcode scan for nutrition information is worth it on it own. lol

​@@wesleysoriano5427Do you have any idea if it would scan labels in languages other than English too? (Like Dutch/German)

@@arpanakashray6283 Ja

@@arpanakashray6283it literally scans the barcode, there’s no different language for barcodes

@@arpanakashray6283 German here, it indeed does do that- there is an option for the label scan called "Non-US Label" It sometimes does have an issue with commas/dots. you can edit it easily tho and its mostly accurate

I use fresh! Should be able to use frozen but I would let it bake an extra few minutes in this case.

Thanks! I hope you enjoy them this week!!

Thanks! They aren’t posted anywhere but hopefully have a website to drop them on sometime soon. Just as described in the video for now!

Pretty effective if you follow the prescribed macros! Can set a super low rate of gain and get to work

​@ChrisJakob264 how do you set a low rate of gain?

It tracks just off data, so the only inputs are your bodyweight and food consumed. Then after about 3 weeks it hones in on your expenditure based on changes in your weight vs calories consumed. So If your steps increase or decrease in a period of time your bodyweight trend update the expenditure calculator

Authors say that the method described by @PaladinPerformanceTraining is more accurate, than relying on "calories burned" in a smartwatch.

I was wondering the same thing great question. Did you end up using the app ?

Hmm yeah for some reason it cut off, but there wasn’t any more info just the sign off! That’s for noticing and the feedback!

Thanks for the comment! Hope it was helpful!
