this is genuinely the most boring way to train for 99% of people, including me, if you enjoy it fair play but training like this is mostly for people who do this as a job, bodybuilders/influencers. Controlling every part of the movement and thinking about every cue/angle, speed e.t.c. isn't for me, i'll do it for drop sets only, more fun to just move weight through full rom and get stronger/avoid injuries.

Careful when using a Leg Press like that with as much ROM. Your blood pression can go up x4 on this machine since you have the head lower than the legs. Now I only use the hack squat, or do bulgarian splits squats. I would only use this press at the end of a leg session to finish off with lighter loads or 1-leg at a time. No more heavy sets, ever. I had an accident with that. I used to go as low as possible (however I am not as flewixible and my knees would be more on my torso. At the bottom, it would compress my abdomen as I was performing a valsalva manoeuver to brace the core. One day while doing a new PR, I experienced sudden headache on the back of the head, had a black veil about 2-3REPS before the end of my set and had to stop training. I never felt a pulsating headache like that and it was quite frightening honestly. I thought I had burst a pipe on my engine. For 2 months my headache was coming back every time I would do some effort that made my blood pressure vary (workout, stairs, cycling uphill, pick up something on the floor, even sex) I tried once or twice to do some sport but felt my issue coming back and I didn't want to impact negatively my recovery. Due to a disappointing medical journey , i first saw a GP that sent me to a physiotherapist, then angiologist and I didn't meet a neurologist until 6weeks after the injury so I didn't do MRI early enough. They suspected some spasms on the veins, or something else but didn't really find the cause for sure The most convincing explanation I found is a carotid artery dissection, which is not that uncommon, but risky enough to be one of the 1st things to check. It was probably overlooked or already healed enough when I saw the specialist. Several conditions can weaken the blood vessel walls, but I think that in my case a bad combination of factors lead to the injury. (high load, compressed abdomen, blocked respirartion, head lower than legs) In conclusion. I kinda liked that machine, but don't use it to do PRs or some Ego lift.

A bit advanced though since you have to be very careful with it like you are expecting yourself to blow up and you want to blow up big before you deload so you got to have a real understanding of your limits and when you are about to pop. My experience so far, my body can handle 5 weeks of 6x a week of gnarly workout before i start curling into a ball and questioning my life choices at night and a little bit restless as i get injured left and right @ week 6. I don't think i'll try this regularly, maybe sometimes when i can feel like my body can handle it coz this seems to be the type you don't to dip your cute little toe in every cycle. I don't really recommend a normal hooman being to go this far coz this is the border realm of the crazies and you got to be a little bit off your rocker to do this regularly.

@leonro7 ай бұрын
@@hughjass6022KZbin automatically nukes any comment with links in it, but the 4th most recent video is pretty much that. "Maingaining" isn't well-defined, and Dr. Mike had talked about it, as there's two different ways to describe it: 1. You keep your fat% approximately the same while gaining muscle. That's basically bulking, but more specifically the clean variant where you still count macros. Eating any more than a small surplus will make you needlessly fat. 2. You eat the same number of calories while gaining muscle. This is also often called "recomping". It's somewhat effective if you're a beginner and fat, but otherwise you will have high energy demand because of exercising hard (resulting in increased hunger) while you will also not have enough energy to push yourself in exercises (resulting in injury and less muscle). You can do #1, and this is what Dr. Mike advocates for while interpolating it with cutting and maintenance phases. But #2 is definitely not recommended, as your results will be worse both in terms of keeping fat off and in terms of building muscle.

That pre-fatigue on the target muscle is the #1 tactic I've learned the last 2 years. Leg extension before squats, chest flies before presses, front and lateral raises before overhead press. The ONLY compound I cannot do this with is Romanian deadlift. It's actually very effective to do leg curls before RDL, but when I do leg curls first, I get hideous hamstring CRAMPS. Something about that maximum contraction when the Hams are not very warm is just a bad idea for. But I NEVER get Hamstring cramps from RDL. So I go backwards. RDL first and then I go do really cautious leg curls. Really, really cautious lol.
