That last one is so accurate. When I was first really getting into the gym, I spent ages researching whether exercise X was better for a muscle than exercise Y, and then one day I suddenly realised: I'm not a pro athlete, I don't intend to become a pro athlete, there are far bigger issues to address (sleep, diet etc) than whether exercise X does or does not have a 1% advantage over exercise Y. And that's basically why I do lunges instead of Bulgarian split squats. There's too much "science-based programming" being directed at people who will never come close to having to worry about whether one exercise has a higher EMG rating than another etc. Most people simply need to focus on getting the basics right. And lifting heavy shit.

People, especially non-lifters or beginners, always underestimate the effort & intensity required to build enough muscle to even look like you lift at all. You'll hear they say stuff like, "I don't want to get too muscular" or "I don't want to start looking like a man". If only it were that easy! 😄

Hey Brian I wanted to thank you for turning me on to those overhead side bends. I can't really say it brought my overhead press up, but my overhead pressing is no longer a blood bath every time I do it. I hold position so much better, and my hips don't cramp up as much. I've also never been able to make my lower traps sore, but that movement does it, and they look bigger. I think I'm almost to a point where my obliques can start growing from it. That movement is a real banger.

I've been training somewhere along 6 months right now, so I am a beginner. I am also very obsessive when it comes to following hobbies and I ended up learning a lot, very fast. I too came to the conclusion of Rule 2 : There is no optimal. Stop looking for it and instead go to the gym and do something to some plan, with good technique and effort. I recently developed the mindset that I should focus on increasing my reps instead of increasing my weight for progressions, while focusing on good technique beyond all. I came to this conclusions as I realized that I couldn't afford "optimal". I could, however, give my best effort on the three days I do go to gym and enjoy the process of getting stronger. And I intend on restarting running as I loved running. This will take a while, but I'm excited to see how strong and healthy I'll be 2-3 years from now. The best is up ahead!

It took me longer that it should have to figure out that my preferred way of training is three days per week full body training. I feel best when I train like that because I can remain consistent, and even if I happen to skip a day or even two, at least I hit all of the muscles once or twice per week. I also do accessory bodyweight and resistance band stuff at home for active recovery and some added volume, without sacrificing recovery. As much as I'd like to be able to go to gym every day, not only is that not necessary, I simply don't have the time. I could perhaps maintain that for a month, until other obligations prevent me, so no other split works as well for me as 3x full body.

I trained with 345lbs on my bench 275lbs on my dead lift all after my warm up. In my day there was way to much hype and distortion of truth. Not many coaches in our area. Many didn't share knowledge if they felt that you were not up to their level. Still a lot of hype putting out videos searching for likes and dispensing the idea that if the stars don't alien and you dont follow my specific traing plan u aren't going to make progress. Good thing for guys like you who are open and upfront to help the next generation. Thanks Matt.

Definitely don't get too caught up in the weeds, but what gets me is there is no such thing as a perfect rest time, yes between extreme heavy lifting you might need between 8 and 13 minutes to recover and be ready for the next although if you have great conditioning you might only need 5 or 6 minutes or even as little as three. I mean I know some people think men and women are the same, even though we aren't, but no two people are the same physiologically
