One thing that I learned from you is to not be afraid of bulking. I used to think that you can "maingain" yourself to muscle, but it's pain in the ass, slow progress if any at all. Good exercise selection, aiming for higher intensity overtime, along with constantly feeding yourself with slight surplus and good sleep is the best strategy in the long run and with patience there's no doubt that anybody can reach their so called potential.

I really enjoy your love for Kevin Levrone. As far as juiced up mass monsters go, Kevin's 2002 Olympia 2nd place physique is my favourite ever.

[@DCJayhawk57]

Here's a weird thing that has really improved my physique recently: training my front delts. I'm late intermediate if not advanced in training age and technique, but I never did front delt isolation work. I was too taken by the minimalist approach that they get hit on pressing movements. Turned out I've left a lot of gains on the table. Hitting more front delt work has also brought up my upper chest and that delt/chest tie-in region. It also makes my upper biceps look more pronounced since I'm getting more shape in that reason. I think my point is that everyone leaves gains on the table in certain areas. You don't have infinite recovery capacity and training economy, so you'll always have some body parts that lag. Something as simple as dedicating more effort to a weak point can really produce visible physique improvements in a few months. Seeing you, Geoffrey, and Alex made me realize my front delts were lagging!

[@penumbramine]

that tip of starting a set of RDLs with a conventional deadlift in a prior vid is money. I go into my sets feeling way stronger because my start position is better than when Im walking it out and doing the 1-2 shuffle to find my positioning.

[@Shvabicu]

I've always done that and don't get why NH swears by unracking. Idgaf if I lose a tiny bit of energy on that conventional rep that I don't count. It's still a stimulative rep. I also do my RDLs after going up to a max single conventional and a back off set of conventional. The RDLs feel light af after that.

[@penumbramine]

@@Shvabicu i feel like walking out if more fatiguing tbh. like my RDL is below my conventional so my 12rm weight for an rdl is going to be like a 15rm conventional or something, and doing 1 rep of that is nothing.

[@nmnate]

Expanding on your callused hand discussion. Curl your fingers toward your palm. Notice how much that pad of skin can move? I find it really helpful to keep it out from underneath the bar on my pulling exercises. As you get your grip on the bar, just use the bar to push the pad of skin away from where you're going to be pulling against. On pullups it helps to not just jump up to the bar but stand on something and set your grip before lowering to the start position. If you're doing weighted pullups it's probably just better this way. For sanding your calluses, I like getting emory boards at the drug stores (basically an abrasive file with a cardboard backing). They go through the old skin pretty nicely and you can usually get in some of the tighter spots around the base of your fingers. 💪

[@Efficienado]

2ish years of lifting and my calluses are still pretty small because I do this before every lift. I think it's also better because most people think calluses are gross

I like more the recomp-bulk way than the cut-bulk, when u are cutting and bulking you are chasing the shredds and then the size, when u recomp-bulk you just chase muscle, also it feels more "hardcore" bcs it feels slower but at the end of the day you are doing your best to be sure that you are getting muscle most of the time, idk maybe I'm biased bcs I used to be skinny af lol

I think one of the biggest things noobies have to learn is just how to train hard and close to failure, so creators like Sam and the Tren Twins can actually have super valuable insight for noobies.

And thanks for answering my exercise ordering Q!!

I really liked your take on cluster sets with 60 sec rest intervals. I found on my own just on accident with a arm day that it gave a serious pump. It also feels challenging as the rest is minimal and you can play around with weight by going higher next set or lower the weight overtime.

Find exercises that you like (My metrics are: You can feel them well, they don't hurt your joints, you don't feel like you got hit by a Mactruck deluxe after, and you can progressively overload them) and just hammer them hard until the progression stops, then switch it out for another exercise, rinse and repeat

[@ourboyhemingway]

Thanks for dedicating so much time to my question BOM, and I’m humbled by the compliment. In my specific case it’s dips / pull ups. They’re S+ tier movements for me, but not my focus given I want a monstrous PL total. Will work in ascending sets more as I warm up and see if those extra repetitions and practice pays dividends 🙏

[@BaldOmniMan]

You’re welcome brotha it was an awesome question, enjoyed talking about it a good bit

[@calvinlawn3457]

Here’s what I like to do for exercise order. Generally, train what‘s most important to you first/early in a session (e.g. calves or leg curls before squats, maybe arms or shoulders before chest + back work). Compounds first is the default but it doesn’t have to be. Compound isolation compound can work well or heavy light heavy (e.g. bench, flies, then rows; rep range also works here) but typically I’ll do my compound, a different muscle compound group to let the first one rest, and then a final exercise (more biased compound or isolation). I do assisted pull-ups, then upper-back DB rows, and then neutral grip pulldowns (or neutral grip pull-ups, wide cable rows, then lying cable pullovers). Also, try to increase stability as the workout goes on, since you’re fatigued. For example, DB bench or ring push-ups then BB/smith bench or machine chest press.

It's deffo true that most of Sam Sulek's detractors detract precisely because he is very popular at the moment. For me, Sam has a very rare trait of a magnetic personality, that is both very entertaining to watch, and very likeable. That's most of the reason why I think people like Sam; it's not his training or his physique. True, his size is definitely what draws you in, but I think everyone ends up staying for Sam. This is why I think its imperative that he sets a hard deadline for cycling off. If he continues like he is now, it will kill him early. I think everyone can say that we would rather Rich was still here, smaller or not. The same applies for Sam.
