ARM WRESTLING FOR MASSIVE ARMS

[@leandraogomes7918]

Home gym hard..congratulations bro..i from brazil 🇧🇷

[@dndallasta]

Been watching all your videos after watching your interview with Vigorous Steve. You put out great stuff and it's very generous how you reveal your coaching 'secrets' in almost every pod you've done. Thanks a lot for that. Speaking of Steve, I wanted to ask you what your take is on using antioxidants/anti-inflammatory supps while on cycle. Steve is a proponent of taking a lot of Vitamin C, E, Fish Oil, etc. I've read reports on studies showing how supplementing Vitamin C and E reduce rates of muscle growth and strength gain. On the other hand, I've also heard you say that you tend to shy away from something like Metformin or Berberine if possible, due to the anti-inflammatory effects they have and how they might conflict with muscle growth, even if in a small amount. I'm just curious if it's worth to take the vitamins to keep your organs (basically asking about kidneys, here) healthier, while giving up some gains or if the oxidative stress of using gear, training hard and eating a ton of food is going to be so much that supplementing antioxidants is like a drop of water in a lake. What's your stance on this? Thanks!

Muscle growth is an inflammatory process, so any anti-inflammatory will technically act against growth. But it’s not black and white. If your joints are inflamed and your health is poor, you’re not going to grow either-so generally the very very small potential reduction in muscle protein synthesis from natural anti-inflammatory compounds is worth it for the improved rate of growth you have when you’re able to train without pain and remain healthy

@@troponinnutrition Makes sense. Thanks a ton for the insight.

Arm wrestling is great for arm gains

[@troponinnutrition]

It’s terrible for view count apparently though lol

[@jeffmacarthur9722]

Especially when you get injured and can no longer train. Rubbish sport.

[@HkFinn83]

Hey Justin, cool to see you’re getting into some more diverse training. Not sure if you’ve got a kettlebell in your gym there, ever gotten into some KB training? For a long time big guy looking to diversify 100 swings/day can be an amazing and rewarding conditioning tool👍

[@troponinnutrition]

We have a set. Maybe I’ll give it a try to keep things interesting. Good idea

[@joeyfung-i]

Lol to the bicep curl. More camber! Looking strong Justin. Powering through that bicep tear. Just one recommendation if you aren’t doing it already. Find a partner who has lots of experience and will work with you consistently. Try and get 5 good pulling sessions with both arms a week. Like sparring in boxing….. same principles of doing the actual activity to get stronger and better. Content is great brother. Everyone has what you talked about. Very few edit their own and there are ins and outs to each social. I hate the big productions but that’s me.

[@troponinnutrition]

Appreciate the help! I’d love to find someone to pull with, but I’m out in the middle of nowhere. I’m on Armbet, but there’s only like 3 other people within a 50 mile radius and two of them haven’t logged on in 3 years. If anyone knows of a group that pulls together somewhere in southwest Michigan, I’d love to join in and see what I can learn!

​@@troponinnutritionKZbin keeps deleting all my comments to you. I've been trying to help you with this since your first video.

[@troponinnutrition]

@@ZaneGeetingthis one got through man. Thanks for reaching out! Excited to eventually get a session in with you guys

[@troponinnutrition]

Ended up meeting Dave Shay and he’s been helping me out. Got a few sessions in with the Detroit armbenders that really helped

[@ZaneGeeting]

@troponinnutrition That's huge. Those guys will be an invaluable resource.

[@UncleMike81]

Justin why not just get cystatin C done? Btw, have enjoyed the content 👍

[@troponinnutrition]

I do. I just like to get the clearance done every so often.

[@Lestergreen77]

High volume and frequency is not needed for armwrestling

[@troponinnutrition]

Seems like the top guys are doing a lot of both. What do you recommend?

[@starkjude223]

Just train hard af 💪

[@chuckweinberg9858]

Justin- “getting my weight down” what are your thoughts on Clen stacked with GoPills? Good, bad or meh? I don’t want to be stupid and you’re the man with the answers.

[@troponinnutrition]

@@chuckweinberg9858Diet is going to do 90% of the work, but both of those will help increase metabolism and potentially reduce appetite
