RP Webinar with Mike and James 1-07-2020

[@DrMiloWolf]

TIMESTAMPS 0:33 James and Mike describe their daily woes Kevin D Farley 2:37 Is 95% of your 10RM for 10 reps roughly 1RIR? Adrian Young 15:24 Thoughts on nutrient timing and GH peptides in relation to optimal body composition? More specifically GHRP-2 and mod GRF. Sean Murakawa-Rubin 19:10 Why does RP give out recommendations for max duration a hypertrophy session should take? 23:00 Mike mentioned that after the first few sets of an exercise, the fast twitch fibers are too fatigued to keep going, so you predominantly stimulate other fiber types. Is this regardless of rep range? 24:05 Do fast twitch fibers therefore always “automatically get the optimal amount of volume”? 28:50 Since lats are involved in rows, does that mean if you did non-lat involving rows, you’d increase volume landmarks for the lats specifically? 35:05 James Krieger recommends 8 sets/bodypart in a given session. Does that mean you should do 16 for back (i.e. 8 for rowing, 8 for vertical pulling)? 44:15 Are the actual average volume landmarks changing in the makeover of the hypertrophy guides, or is it just the other sections? Aidan 48:00 What are the differences (besides size potential) in slow twitch vs fast twitch dominant people? Timothy Schultz Mike and James rip the shit out of innocent question asker 59:34 What to do when a bad session happens in the middle of week 3 or 4 of an accumulation? Elijah Clifford 1:02:47 Why do RP implement such lengthy maintenance phases when few others do? Remco_ 1:08:05 How to structure training at home one week, then one week at the gym, and so forth? Kai Holland 1:17:00 When should concentric only training be used?

Phew, when I read “Mike rips question asker,” I was sure it was gonna be something my own stupid ass had said.

Would love to hear Dr Mike & Jordsnn B Peterson talk.

I'm so excited for the hypertrophy book, really enjoyed all of the RP books so far.

After 20+ years of lifting I have come to the conclusion that I am mostly slow fiber type lol I have like an mma swimmer - fit body. And I body build with super high volume. And can outwork most jacked guys I know by double or triple the volume. I think I could be really good at crossfitt. Even when going to failure I feel like I can easily keep going set with like after set with 225 all day long with no problems. I just hardly ever feel winded or pain when lifting. I'm just ready for another set in like 10 seconds of rest.

Hello gentlemen and greetings from Finland. Here's a few questions, pick whatever: 1. Opinion on touch and go deadlifts with straps to make the SFR of the exercise more ideal? 2. How good are farmer's walks for muscle building, and how would you quantify such exercises in the context of volume landmarks? 3. What is your view on strength imbalance between one's bench press and barbell row in the context of potential shoulder problems such as bicep or supraspinatus tendinopathy? My 5RM bench is around 115kg while row is only 80kg or so. Is the imbalance important like some say, or is volume and load and their management all there is to reducing/preventing overuse injuries or pain?

Hey guys, this is more of a kinesiology question: bodybuilders use exercises like spider curls and tricep kickbacks to train those muscles in their shortest (most contracted) position, and then exercises like incline curls and overhead extensions to train them in their most lengthened position. Is there benefit to this given a) the muscles are weakest in those positions due to the length-tension relationship and b) they are biarticular muscles and are passively/actively insufficient when trying to act on two joints at the same time when places in their extreme positions. I’d love for you to shed some light on this whole thing because I find the whole active/passive insufficiency thing confusing when it comes to hypertrophy. Does it matter if the muscles are less able to produce force in those positions as long as we are putting tension on those desired muscles?

[@jwgosla08]

seanissomething I hope this gets answered. I’ve been wondering the same thing.

[@davidfields22]

Quickly about active/passive insufficiency: Look at the Stiff Leg Deadlift. A deadlift isn’t a deadlift (Romanians excluded) if you don’t lock it by having your hips fully extended. Now imagine the hams as you lower if you didn’t flex your hips back. As you lower they would eventually stretch to a point where they cannot contract. That’s passive. Now look at the Nordic Hamstring Curl. As you’re on your knees it is very difficult to control your decent without flexing the hip. This is because while in the flexed top position, your hamstrings are at they’re shortest and cannot contract further. That is active inefficiency. So when you start your descent, the the hips will flex to allow the hams to create tension. Hope that helps.

[@davidfields22]

As far as the positions, we all know that our muscle fibers converge on tendons at different angles. Changing the angles can change recruitment. Also consider loading. If you shorten the range of motion, you can load the muscle differently. And as far as lengthening the muscle we know that stretching the target muscle within its limits of controllability contribute to greater potential hypertrophy. Check out Ben Pakulski talking about intra-set stretching. He will explain better than I ever could. Hope this helps too!

[@Fusionw3]

I have achieved my strength goals on the main compounds. how can I transfer that strength to a sport and how can I increase my cardio whilst maintaining that strength? Will getting proficient at cardio impede those gains? Thank you.

[@TheNRicciardi]

How much does mind muscle, technique matter vs going through the motions and moving the weight for hypertrophy? .

[@evanpolicko1463]

What things can I do with my nutrition and training in the gym to make sure my mental performance isn’t impaired or fatigued for my studies?

[@MrCoughs]

Those who don’t care about hypertrophy but want to be more functional in everyday life what do you suggest focusing on? Farmer walks? Weighted vest, cardio and mobility stuff? I am thinking my goal is not specific enough because my PT put me on a bro split with most of it consisting with isolations. Please Help I am paying $75 per session and would like to reach my goals.

[@JamesKintner]

Sam, bro... really? Don't know if I should applaud or send you a free template.

[@JamesKintner]

So the free template is out?

[@belt1749]

Hey guys, 2 questions here. Was wondering if switching to only incline press and upper chest focus due to lacking that upper chest “shelf”? Not sure if it’d be beneficial to almost have a specialization block to strictly the upper chest to try and get that big slab look. Secondly, do wide stance squats still grow quads almost as much as close stance? I still have close stance squats programmed (sissy squats), but was wondering if it’d be good to add some extra sets of wide stance squats to try and target some glute growth as well. Thanks guys for all your info and insights.

[@MarcVilardell]

Hi docs! Why for some people its easier to gain strength than size? Thanks!

[@cv0669]

Hey guys I was wondering if you thought isometric training would benefit BJJ (considering all the squeezing)? If so are there any isometric exercises you would recommend?

[@dazzah4034]

is this available as a podcast ?

[@SeizedaJay]

This!

[@stevengoltra2362]

Nah, it’s still possible to watch all their videos in a few weekends, and I will. TG for open source information, I’d be bound by the wisdom of my fathers without it.

Going back and watching every UFC fight would be a mfer.

My work has scheduled me to work 4-5 weeks straight of 4 Night-shifts in a row consisting of 8 hours (absolute motherfuckers..). During this time, would it be best to just train and eat at maintenance as I believe even trying to gain any muscle or strength during that period is just going to add an additional massive stress to my body. I have worked nights before, but not as long as this so iv always usually kept the effort high to try increase (looking back, probably such a dumb move). Would love to hear your guys thoughts on how you would advise or structure someones weekly training and what you have advised to other shift workers like firefighters, police, doctors etc. Thanks guys, much appreciate the content you put out

Mom: What did Dr Mike teach you today? Me: I Learned how much a FuckZillion is.

[@workoutunleashed]

Hey there Docs, I have a question relating to rest periods between sets of an exercise. Do you keep a rough track of your rest periods, both within sets of an exercise and also workout to workout to help keep a consistent track of R.I.R and volume landmarks? I know for myself I try to be fairly consistent set to set, week to week, but sometimes there are days you just need a little more rest coz you're just f#$@ed more than usual. What are your thoughts on this? Cheers dudes, Dave Margison Keep up the great content! Greetings from NZ
