[@KiddMonkey]

This my favorite video to come back to

[@jacobmarshall2636]

I do mma and I’ve tried a lot of ways to put on muscle without hindering my performance. And I eventually made a program for myself wear I do compound movements (Standing) like barbell shoulder press, barbell bent over rows, pull-ups and I do incline Db press and then legs is like squat and deadlift but I do them in rep ranges to have some hypertrophy for muscle growth along with the compound movements to build strength and stability. But I think Athletic Body building is a more thought out way of what I’ve been doing and I might try it.

[@PhysiqueEveryWeek]

Totally agree with this philosophy. If you weightlift with the intent to build muscle and do movements that improve your mobility and don't neglect your cardio, you're able to have the best of all worlds basically. You look good and have athletic capabilities.

[@arkii5420]

It also kinda make your life quality better

[@PhysiqueEveryWeek]

@@arkii5420 Totally agree.

[@iversonpreaches]

Can this physique also apply to football?

[@arkii5420]

@@iversonpreaches American football or football

[@PhysiqueEveryWeek]

@@iversonpreaches You have to decide what you want to prioritise as your training will be slightly different. If you care more about how you look, train with the intent to build muscle (IE weight train on more days, higher reps and sets etc). Whereas if you care about your performance in football, you should weight train less and train your football technique more. Weight training is important in any sport up to a point. Imo, once you have a basic level of strength, your technique in the sport matters much more than increasing your squat by 5kg for example. But if you care more about muscle, than increasing your squat volume is more important. Let me know if that makes sense.

Mario Rios sir amazing video. I have got a question you have mentioned both shoulders and back in aesthetic muscles group, which one out of the two would you rate as first what i mean is mostly responsible for aesthetics between lats and shoulders?

[@Ogretime567]

If I am doing a sport where it's almost year round but still want to train should I do less days a week and just do 1 cycle of PPL or do the full 6 days and push through the soreness? Also love the videos keep up the great work!

[@christianpenchev2689]

Most people can build muscle with just 3 workouts a week, so if you are too busy or tired, then it's perfectly fine.

[@ahmedshah5922]

Ive recently thought of a training method where for every set of an exercise I do I first pick a weight with which I reach failure between 3 to 4 reps (strength rep range) and then immediately drop the weights to a lighter level where I can crank out 7 to 8 more reps till failure. I was wondering by dropsetting this way whether I get best of both worlds of hypertrophy and strength

[@santiagobermudez6497]

dropsets are just a way to get more reps in, just for some additional stimulus. But you’re not going to get that hybrid of strength and hypertrophy. Sure you’ll gain muscle from dropsets and get stronger, but if you want to bias one over the other you need to train one over the other. That’s why strength training and hypertrophy are different. but you will gain some strength from drop-sets but not in the long term because you’re not progressively overloading, or achieving enough mechanical tension.
