    So I felt Lebron exerted himself to the highest degree to try to steal game 1, possibly cede game 2 in favor of recovery and try to go up 3-1 at home. That ain't happenin now. Would've been very interesting stealing game 1, though. I think they get demolished now.

    God I hate when people say something is unsafe because they're too stupid to be able to do it properly. I don't think I've EVER felt soreness in my back from deadlifts. You know why? Cause I have proper fucking form. Your lats are nothing more than a stabilizer, same with you erectors -- they...

    Good man. 235x7 is solid, I don't think I could even do that, although 5/3/1 is much more of a peaking program than what I'm currently running. Yeah I somewhat understand, there's a lot of days I stop short especially with squatting and benching. Deadlifts are a different animal. Just gotta say...

    I feel like you're splitting hairs with Mitchell and Tatum, especially in their rookie seasons. Couldn't have gone wrong with either guy. Fultz is another story, but again just a rookie -- plenty of time for him to develop.

    Skimping on carbs doesn't mean skimping on veggies man. Also, carbs aren't evil. Things like sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, oatmeal, and rice should be in your day to day diet. What you want to avoid are FRIED carbs, and sugary junk food bullshit. If it's not highly processed, and doesn't...

    1000%. He'll never be Lebron (at 250 or 265 lol), but he can definitely put on a solid 10-20 pounds in the offseason imo (maybe 2 offseason, but still).

    From what I understand, Durant spent more time in the weight room in the offseason. Seems like the dude either doesn't eat much, or just has a hard time putting on any sort of mass.

    I state superstars because they're less likely to move. I don't really care Steve Kerr won in San Antonio or the fact that Robert Horry has 485 rings. I would agree as a role player it's definitely advantageous to move to a blossoming team, much like when Ray left the Celtics and became a role...

    Except that's not really true, as most teams who have won a chip over the last 30 years went on to win multiple titles. Even if we ignore the 80s Celtics/Lakers/Pistons dominance, you get Bulls, Rockets, Spurs, Lakers, Heat, Warriors. The only non-dynastic teams (one-and-done let's say) were the...

    Like I said, I really don't care Durant went. But they're not the same thing. As for Kobe, my point is he called out his organization for not doing what they should've done in surrounding him with reliable talent to compete for a championship. Lebron simply left an organization who never...

    Let's not romanticize Kobe's relationship with the Lakers. He went on the radio and demanded a trade because his organization had fallen into complete shit. They just refused to and happened to build a decent team around him for him to make another 2 runs at the chip. If Kobe was surrounded by...

    He's an Olympic weightlifter in China. You realize what that means right? He was chosen at a young age (probably ~5) and has done nothing but live and breathe olympic lifting since that time. His frame is small, yes, but his back is incredibly well built for his size, which is typically the...

    There's a number of things to consider. First and foremost, a smaller frame will always support less muscle, and building for strength is a lot different than building for size. Some of the strongest dudes in the world look like average gym bros (the elite of the elite generally look like...

    Hmm... I feel like your bench & squat shouldn't be that close. I wonder what drives that. Do you have long femurs? Underactivated glutes/quads? Do you pull conventional or sumo?

    Mainly because the human body doesn't really recognize a huge difference on a day to day basis, and the differences you're talking about are negligible at best. The glycogen stores will depleted at the same rate, you'll gain/lose weight at the same rate, etc. It's really just going to cause more...

    It's designed that way. You're building work capacity, my friend. Yes, you can usually do 2 cycles, deload, 2 cycles, deload, etc. until you're really pulling shit you need time to recover from.

    No, no, and no. Once you bottom out, then you can move on to a new program. Do not drop your caloric intake at this point (you didn't really suggest this, I'm just telling you not to lol), and having different caloric intake on rest/active days is pretty fuckin useless.
