    This thread can be deleted if you guys would like. This was never meant to be so drama filled. Joe’s post made it seem like it was totally amicable. I would just imagine there is a reason for going in separate directions after being partners for awhile. Going in separate directions is very vague, but if that’s all that Joe wants to share than it’s totally fine. Just thought I’d ask since we have access to this awesome platform

    I just saw you said they are going in a different direction. Are they moving from the bodybuilding space or something? Didn’t think there was much drama involved, but curious since I buy their products often

    Dr. Andy Galpin just spoke about this on the Huberman podcast. One big thing to consider when doing cardio is the eccentric loading of whatever exercise you’re doing. Things like running, jumping, downhill walking, etc. have a large amount of eccentric load bearing compared to something more concentric like biking, rowing, swimming, etc. I’m by no means in expert on this, but seeing as you’re doing the powerbuild program I would consider these factors when choosing your method of cardio

    Looks like my logbook is back for the most part. For some reason it was showing up and disappearing earlier, but right now it seems to be working again for me

    How important is it to be hip loaded? I have plenty of options at my gym but I never feel the pump or soreness from the hip loaded vs standing.

    I think that’s probably generally right Kevin, but it’s much more about your arm angle relative to your torso rather than the angle of the incline on the bench. You could use a multitude of incline angles and still hit either pec or front delts depending on the angle of your upper arm and where the force is being applied

    Maybe you’re a unicorn George and what has worked for others won’t work for you? And it’s great you’ve put on 60 lbs since your teenage years I’m sure no other males can say that. Just because you have gotten results in no way means you’ve been doing things efficiently. Maybe you could have put on 85lbs if you did strength training 🤷‍♀️

    Yeah George I’m very familiar with Mike and have followed him for quite awhile. Soreness CAN be an indicator but relying on it as your sole indicator is futile. And like I said before, running a strength style program (under 5 reps) will almost never make you sore, but you should get stronger from it. You are making a lot of anecdotal claims, which is fine but there’s not a whole lot to back it up other than your acute results. Your turn to do some research. Look at Kassem (n1 training), Paul carter, Eugene teo. Running programs with different sets of rep ranges i

    George I’m confused by your response. If you’ve been training for 10+ years you should know that soreness is not a good indicator of an effective workout. Seems to me by your comments that you should be training below the 12 rep range exclusively, especially if you never do that now. Not supposed to get sore with lower reps so still not sure where you’re coming from.

    What has been difficult about it? Are you having a hard time hitting the reps with difficulty or is it an emotional response?
