Beginners, listen to Alex, he knows what he's talking about. When I was a beginner, I started doing too many unnecessary exercises (landmine squeeze presses, variations of upright rows, iliac pulldowns, etc..) but the problem was that I never mastered the fundamental lifts. Start doing a Horizontal Push/Pull and Vertical Push/Pull and when you master those and actually lift big numbers, THEN you can to do more accessory lifts to complete your physique

I think going by total reps is slightly superior to regular double progression. It allows you to have an approximate rep range without being restricted by it and it ensures that you never sandbag any sets. Let's say you had a goal of 20 reps across 2 sets, the practical rep range would be something like 6-12 (provided you're going to failure) and reaching 20 could look a few different ways like 12,8 or 11,9. With normal double progression, by the time you reach the highest reps on the second set the first set would've been many reps from failure but with total reps both can be to failure. Once weight is increased from that 20 rep total the total reps would go down to maybe 13-15 again. To me it just feels more natural to count it this way, what do you think?

Squat and hinge patterns worked wonders for my quads, hams and adductors. I have really good genetics for legs and I'd say my glutes are normal, but because all the other leg muscles are really big in comparison, they appear to be lacking in size. I've switched to prioritizing lunge movements straight after hinges and doing squats last to get more glute growth and it has worked so far.

​maybe you already got there but my recomendation is: 1: patience ( really), enought sleep and food. 2: grip strongly the bar ( or see how you grip), don"t go too wide on the grip ( abour shoulder or only a bit more is perfect). 3: don"t bench more than 2 to 3 day a week, and try to add some dumbell presses or lighter bench pressing triing to perfect your form. 4: take your rest time seryously, don"t do more exercices exept leg in machines. 5: see how you feel, if you are benching right, add 1 or 1,5 kg plates to the sides and do the same reps you were doing, or add 2,5 plates and lower the reps 20%. give this progresive overload a try, but do lower the weight or reps on days you are too tired. im a really skiny guy, not too strong, but this is how i got to the 60 in 3 months ( and i did not do the sleep and eating too well...) if you are like mebut do all things right, you will get there maybe in 2 months. again: patience is key, the rest is just sleeping and eating enought, of course consistency is the key. @@narayasuiryoku1397

A) 20 degree incline barbell bench, one arm cable row, incline cable fly, cable curl facing away from stack, overhead cable tricep ext, RDL B) AD press, wide grip pull-down, low bar squat, hammer curls, dumbbell laterals, reverse cable fly C) 20 degree incline dumbbell bench, cable crossover, tricep pushdowns, lat prayers, barbell row, semi-sumo deadlift. D) close grip 2 handle pull-down, OHP, High bar squat, dumbbell upright row, preacher curl, cable one arm y raise I hit calves/abs about every other day but don’t really track I add 5 lbs to every compound each session, 2 sets of 6 plus 1 AMRAP set. Isolations I go for 2 sets of max reps, 15-20 with myo-rep match final sets, and I add 2.5 lbs each session. I feel like this gives me pretty good volume spread out through the week and adequate rest. Got any thoughts? I’m 47, 5’5 250lbs with 19 inch arms. Did Starting Strength til I outgrew the program. Hit 3x5 for 225 OHP, 315 Bench, 405 Squat/1x5 Deadlift before and I’m on my way back up after a long layoff, but my joints didn’t like the weight so I’m slowing my progression down this time and varying my lifts.

I can still do moderately heavy lifts but not like I used to. Ive dropped about 20 pounds of thick muscle, but with switching to a more mediterranean way of eating, am way more cut than I've ever been. I'm still lingering in 235-40 pound range.

This is my first time seeing this channel. Just want to say it's refreshing to see this content. I love the behind the neck/back press. Some will lose their mind seeing that. And getting the brachialis and brachioradialis correct was a nice bonus. Very unusual.

of course they will lose their mind becasuse 90% of times it is the worse exercise someone can do. if you are not trully loss on the neck and do real warm up for it, it is easy to hurt it, and just training it whit weight is not a solution.

Glad to hear I've been doing it right. For me the most difficult is the diet. Started the gym 14 months ago while obese, so I've been lifting in a caloric deficit ever since (went from 115kg at 1m83 to 78kg). Not gonna lie, can't wait to actually start bulking and going even harder in the gym.

Why diet then bulk? You can recomp once you hit a certain weight.

@@domepiece11 recomping is only effecting up to a point. And technically I did recomp as I was on a moderate deficit and managed to put on some muscle. However At some point progress slows down considerably, and from what we can see, most natural lifter with great physics will rather do lean bulk and diet cycles compared to recomping

Natural hypertrophy has a video with a list called (ultimate hypertrophy programs) that he's created a straight path to go from novice to advanced and I love it so far, I'm 6 months into the bridge program. He says it'll take years but I'm ready for the grind!

I believe this was the video that was lacking on your channel. For months now I even wanted to send you a mail to tell you that you've have explained countless times your training, lots of advices and overall philosophy but the issue is that it was separated in so MANY videos. You lacked some "resume" video, something digestible and then if people want more details about the whys or hows, they can deep dive into your content. Some may say that it shouldn't be the case because it simplifies too much, and we're around here in this channel because we're not those type of lifters that but I disagree. When you're writing a thesis, you come back to the main line once in a while to not lost the readers. Hope you read this message Alex, the content you're proposing is top of the line.
