ironically, i got so used to other types of apps (and also sick of them) that when i finally found FitNotes i was totally confused. Found your video to see how others use it. thanks sir!

thank you

Nice conversation about being advanced, I think it is relative to your potential, and from a muscle building perspective doesn't have a lot to do with strength beyond a certain point. I'm nearing an advanced stage, but my strength hasn't gone up that much relative to when I was intermediate. You might say with more muscle mass I have higher potential strength, but I think so much about strength is based on leverages and your nervous system, so there is some degree of diminishing returns even if you fill out your frame. From a bodybuilding perspective, being advanced to me means you don't have any glaring weak points, and likely have a few strong points. There's also a level of muscle maturity that plays into it beyond your measurements, and yes, that does exist. It's a certain level of detail and shape to the muscle that comes with time that may not even affect your overall measurement. I think this is just a part of filling out and developing a muscle maximally. I think the Symmetric Strength website's strength standards calculator is very good for figuring out your strength level and deficiencies. It's better than novice/intermediate/advanced because it has more subsections which is a lot more accurate to me (Untrained, Novice, Intermediate, Proficient, Advanced, Exceptional, Elite, World class)

My problem with Dr Mike is when he started spewing libertarian Ayn Rand economic philosophy and kurtzweildian technobabble (even has a separate channel for it) as if he was a philosophy PhD or economist. Because you are an expert on getting jacked it doesn’t not entitle you espouse fringe/cringe philosophy as if you spent years studying contrary theories and principles.

For what it's worth, Dr. Mike has been on some really obscure podcasts that had a tiny following. There have been a few times I've been invited on a tiny podcast and kinda been on the fence about doing it, but then saw that Dr. Mike had done it. The man is many things, but lazy isn't one of em. Might be a bit different the past year or two where the main focus has clearly been on growth and they're probably more selective about how to spend their time.

Great chat guys specially on the getting lean and looking not well

Or hire an editor and fix the audio visual.

The lower body is stronger, so it can handle kilos.

I henceforth require the cat to be a part of the podcast

When i was training with Faz i maxed out my DB set with decent form rows within a year. 50kgs for 10 was pretty standard. Faz has guys rowing almost 70kgs

12:09 i am with you bro, people who do ghosting are absolut pussys, i was ghosted this year by a very hot italian few years older woman which i met in the local Supermarket, she was very interested ask me multiple times if i wanna go with her to the gym than the one day i wanna go she writes her dog his bitten her with some pics of her leg, after my friendly reply, we're i said no problem, go to the doc, she never answered again this bitch

Whats your thoughts on high frequency arm training? Maybe training biceps forearms and maybe even triceps (ibguess triceps its not possible for me, i get doms even from a few sets) 3 4 5 times per weeek?

I enjoy DrMike but his ego is so out of hand it does get tiresome

I'll have both you guys on my podcast..but fr tho, really enjoy y'alls content

I must be built differently because I'm 5'3, 160lbs 30% bodyfat and I'm the smallest person I know and yet I bench 185 for reps and squat 250 for reps. I guess strength wise I'm intermediate but size wise I'm small

comment for Abel to get back into the industry

How much are you guys dumbbell rowing? Because I’m weak as shit on most lifts but I can row 100lbs for 15 as well, they arnt crazy strict but they definitely arnt what I would describe as Kroc rows either.

This one was dope. Curious to onow how many sets/volume Dave did during his long ass cut to keep his strength. Keep crushing it guys! Always happy when you're posting Abel

Superstardom? 😅😅😅😅 Noone outside of the bb cult knows any of these people.

Great disscusion about leannes...under all that fat we are all so skinny

get 🔙 into fitness industry

👍👍👍

💪💪❤️❤️‼️

Sorry, but the cat just steals the show ❤❤❤

Listening to Dave’s story reminds me of when I lost a lot of weight after finishing at uni. Normally, I sit around 86kg (~18% bf). After uni I started a new job and with very minimal changes to diet / cognisant increase in exercise expenditure, I went down to just about 79kg in 8 weeks. I think there are just times in your life when you are more primed for fat loss. Would be really nice to isolate the variables that lead to that as I could do with another one now! Cheers for the video

Each to their own but what on Earth am I seeing these days. Grown men with no intentions of competing constantly cutting and “bulking” constantly check their body fat, constant shirtless pics on the gram, constantly impacting on their hormone levels for no obvious reason…

Lfgooooo!!!! For the algo

Typically just leave this on and listen to audio only, but was captivated by your cat. Watched the entire video 😂 amazing animal!

💪💪❤️❤️‼️

I eat like a pig and thoroughly enjoy it.

Very well said. This has been my observation as well and you put it very clearly and concisely

As I was an overweight child until 18 this podcast is super depressing

I find whenever I train to failure my joints hurt. So I train with a high amount of effort and higher frequency

This vid is a certified hood classic.

This is great advice. Thank you!

So 60 grams of fat is alright for maybe 3 weeks?

Abel need a cutting Roundtable with Geoff and NH

Why did you stope training the Borge way it worked so well for you? And Borges program just whole body 3x week 1-2 sets per muschle group each workout?

The body fat score thing is interesting. Good video 👍

Great video!

Hmm, that client sounds familiar! Your dedication-and-body-fat thing looks cool -- where is it?

I though you will be interviewing varun with his style questions

Abel you’ve truly tried everything man. Much respect, was interesting listening to your experience.

I’m very glad you told Abel that he doesn’t need to say, “Just joking,” after each dad joke. But then again, I’m only adding to his inner monologue habits by criticizing his behavior in the first place.

eating mindlessly while watching this 😀

This was just really good. I really appreciate how you capture the mind sets I’ve found myself in before, and have very sensible solutions (practical, mindset). Clearly fruit of hard won experience!

Fantastic video ❤

Damn i need to lose 30 lbs to be close to that weight lol

Once again, Abel demonstrates how great of a speaker he is and what reasonable and empathetic takes he has. Excellent video!
