I've been training for a long while now and by no means do I consider myself an expert but I know enough now to not get injured of off silly things anymore. I do however always learn something new from your videos, so thank you cause I definitely learned more than one thing from this one. Can't wait to see the app

[@JustSayin24]

I'd normally scoff at any self-promotion, especially when it comes to KZbin fitness videos, but the app you've shown looks pretty sick. I'm a data scientist and would be keen to know how it uses AI to build the workout templates - are you taking age, stress, etc.. as input features and predicting an ideal routine? what training data have you used? I'm on waiting list!

[@SantosAl]

It would also be interesting if you were able to input what muscle was most stressed in an exercise, and then have the AI take that into consideration. And also include HRM/activity trackers to truly track your present state, especially since the app has a stress function, having the activity tracker make this function more modular would be quite interesting.

[@sxhrgvs]

I can’t imagine he’s going to tell you how it works, mate. That’s probably been a lot of work and why it’s taking so long - maybe not so keen to share the details. I agree it’s interesting though.

[@wardosravin]

Sounds very cool indeed! I was someone paying out £80 a month for a routine up until a few months ago when I decided I didnt wanna pay out anymore and preferred to just do my own workout. I found sticking religiously to a routine abit boring but also not optimal. There were many days my CNS felt hammered or a muscle group hadn't recovered properly and my coach would just say "get it done". This sounds far more flexible and fun. I hole its competitively priced and doesnt price out too much of the market.

[@psychalogy]

Sweet. I’m currently at 3 weeks between sets. Nice to know it’s not hurting my gainz

great video as usual! Do you have any pointers or advice for people seeking to get stronger without hypertrophy? To strengthen muscles without getting them any larger is it really as simple as fewer sets and higher weight percentages? I feel like that would lead to more injuries. If you have the desire to share any knowledge on the topic, it'd be much appreciated. Thank you

[@ryptoll4801]

That first one is a really good point I hadn't thought about. I just assumed all muscles were equal. My chest is clearly lagging behind for some reason, even though I do one compound and one isolated exercise for it, and 5 sets per session (10 sets in total per week) like with most other muscle groups. So maybe it just needs a bit more volume.

[@charlieshort5965]

Joe mate that app sounds class

[@proudmisfit4405]

because this is a channel about unpopular options, let me give an off topic option. i think that the y raise is a more better exercise than regular lateral raises. love your channel joe.

[@JoeDelaneyy]

Do you think the Y raise involves the anterior deltoid head more though?

[@VklVikl]

Y raise is great but surely it targets anterior delt as well. It's more of an alternative to overhead press with different resistance curve (if you don't do it upright) I think the most underrated delt exercise is 45 degree reverse fly, it hits both lateral and rear delt without involving front delt at all

[@proudmisfit4405]

@@VklVikl no sir. the y raise puts the lateral head in a fully shortened position. try it with a band or cable with the right mechanics

To be honest, I can't remember exactly what it was like/which one you're referring to. But my inclination would be yes, I expect it would change.

"Your arm is not your leg" is actually a pretty profound thing to realize in designing a workout. It's profound enough that I can't recall any training giving advice to that end, such as saying "To balance your biceps with your triceps, you want to give more exercise volume or intensity to your biceps" or something like that.

[@curlygrain4389]

Programming is a big one, I think. Knowing which exercise will impact performance the next day. Eg RDLs are a leg exercise but will also demand work from traps and erectors SO if you train pulling muscles the next day then performance may suffer

[@danwoo122]

Great video!

[@bram399]

Machines taking away the stability buff allows you to lift more weight and with better hypertrophy leading to more size gains than just using free weights for them ‘stabilising’ muscle gains. similar to Delaney’s ‘make sure the targeted muscle is first to reach failure point’, machines helped,me do this do. (Thought throwing free weights around with zero mind muscle connection was how to get big for far too long)

[@JoeDelaneyy]

For sure, I think sometimes machines are like isolations for the prime mover & synergist. I know that doesn't make sense, but what I mean is, they take away all of that stabilisation work you're talking about, so it's just the core action left. And if you think about the difference between what you can lift on machines vs free weights (although it's hard to calculate exactly), it goes to show how much that extra stabilisation can sometimes limit the overall lift. Obviously from an injury perspective you also want to train that stabilisation to some extent, so the conclusion yet again, as it is with so many things in lifting: do both.

[@herculesbush4337]

Compound lifts are the best, and free weights are more compound then machines so really you get more bang for your buck with free weights. Muscles used for stabilisation are still muscles and contribute to strength.

My issue with resting is just patience, I don't wanna sit for up to 2m 2-3 times x 5, majorly get bored especially solo training and just scrolling between sets.

Indeed some great advice!! Some of the things people forget is warming up before a work-out. And most people that aim for muscle building, neglect cardio..... uhm, why should you? haha

[@kalebkuhn4226]

Makes sense that you maybe shouldn’t go to max on the first sets, as it will effect the rest of your workout. But what If you adjust the weight so you always hit the rep goal (ideally), but go to max every single set. Would that be more effective for muscle gain?

[@allenglishknives6823]

Very helpful video, thanks 👍🏻 With the 10 sets per muscle group per session, what do you do about warming up sets? Or do you go straight in?

[@JoeDelaneyy]

That doesn't include warm-up sets. I would definitely do some of those though. Warm-ups are pretty specific to the person, muscle/exercise being trained and conditions (temperature in the gym etc). I usually do a couple of light sets of my first exercise (because the first tend to be a more complex compound), then subsequent exercises I might just get away with the one high rep warm-up set. I'm not personally into excessive warm-up routines.

[@Quebec2Arizona]

On the app do we count the weight of the bar? I just don’t want to screw up the way the app calculate between machine, barbell and dumbbell by giving the wrong info?

[@JoeDelaneyy]

It doesn't matter provided you choose and stay consistent with it (or the app won't know if you're tracking the bar one day but not another day). It's common practice to include the bar though, so if you want me to choose for you I'd say yes.

[@bill7984]

Genuine question, has your physique changed in anyway in the last 5-8 years? For all the effort that goes in, realistically after newby gains, as long as you keep some kind of progressive training, is the rest of it just noise?

[@mooxchooping9604]

he doesnt train hugely for bulking as keeps physique pretty shredded all year because it is what his job is based on... he explains it in previous videos

[@JoeDelaneyy]

Probably not considerably since around 2015/16 ish (it was around 2015 when I started following programmes etc so that was what I referred to in my video as the second phase of making gains I went through). People are kind (or mistaken) and tell me I'm probably just at my natural limit. I think it's more just a case that I would need to bulk for longer than I'm prepared to in order to gain considerable size. I reckon I could gain another 10lbs of pure muscle if I was to literally just say fuck it and bulk for a few years... maybe 5 ha. It would be slow and not worth it for me...

[@bill7984]

@@JoeDelaneyy I'm 35, and looking back I think I wasted too much time in the gym not achieving anything. I bounce between 170 and 180 too, and am either stronger but less lean @ 180 or lean, fitter and weaker and probably struggle to fill out a t-shirt at 170. If I was to talk to my post newby gains self at the age of about 23 I'd say don't waste so much time in the gym, realistically without the hot sauce you're not going to change noticably, the results after that aren't worth the effort!
