    figured I could add on to this post since I have a slight “bug”/improvement regarding the logger.
    first, I totally love the information you all bring, the programs you guys have made, truly feel this has been worth the investment in my health and can’t thank ya’ll enough!
    that said, the part of the logger where you create your OWN workout (under the new program creation feature) does not let you add sets to the exercises you add. also, the rep range I type in for each exercise disappears once I start the workout itself. the only way to add sets is to start the workout and add the sets there, but there’s no way for me to denote the rep ranges for those said sets.
    if i am doing something wrong/missing a way to add those sets on the edit page please let me know – cause it very well could be my lack of tech knowledge haha.
    but, it would be great to be able to add sets for each exercise on the editing page, have the ability to denote rep ranges for each of those sets, and also indicate if a drop set should follow (similar to how the current programs have the rep range greyed out in the little box & a question mark/note area at the top to denote drops).

    I noticed all of these two

    Great, thank you guys! Guess its true we always look way too much into our own flaws 😅

    I feel the need to add the fact that mentality plays a huge role. If you go into every cut expecting to not only stop making progress but in fact lose strength, I truly believe you likely will. But if you do the opposite and constantly hype yourself up and not set low-bar expectations this won’t be AS much of an issue

    That is the entire rep range across all sets. Since theres 2 sets, Im assuming top set is 5-8 and back off is 8-12

    Thank you so much, this really made my day. No worries I got over that comparison game already cause as you said, nowadays there are likely thousands of guys my age if not younger looking insane from things they shouldn’t, and even if not they simply have better genetics and there’s nothing I can do about that but work my ass of. Glad to hear I’m doing it right and sure as hell enjoying it, biggest passion of my life by far. As always appreciate it!

    in reply to: Single arm Pulldown – one at a time ? #322322

    If you have the time ideally you’d rest at least a little between, fatigue can impact the second arm especially since we train to failure. Same principle applies to any unilateral movements, but obviously you may not have all day and the impact shouldn’t be drastic so you could go right away and rest only after both arms are done

    Have you tried working out 4-5x a week? Could see that being much better especially with your limited recovery

    I actually have the same machine. I use the neutral grip, but also tried using super short handles and putting them around and that worked well (allowing for more elbow freedom too). But what I find the best for that one is simply doing single arm. Then it just comes down to nailing allignment through body position

    I commited the sin of asking before finishing the video 😅 you answered the about leg extension right after, but still curious about something like the bicep curl. Would the same principle you mention about a SA tricep pushdown apply? That the cable gets closer to the elbow so technically mid/lengthened is still trained sufficiently?

    Great, thank you! Definitely love the design of this app so will keep that in mind! Probably cant afford it to start but will try and switch as the time goes on!

    Yep. Hate cream of rice without the protein mixed in (cause I love my protein powder tastes)

    Simple, you need more calories. Your body has adjusted to your current energy expenditure/intake balance

    All programs are 2-3 sets (past the first phase) and yes, its cause of the intensity. Recovery simply isn’t feasible with that maximum intensity if you also did 4-5 sets per exercise, plus its highly unlikely you’d even be able to train that hard for all those sets for an entire workout.
