Warm up your elbows more. Light pushdowns before heavy pressing helps.

Trends cycle, bro. Early 2000s was baggy everything. Then we went slim-fit athletic cut. Now we’re back to “mystery mass” era.

Heavy days are closer to 90 minutes, especially legs or back. Short sessions never felt enough for those.

BCAAs for sure. Once I started actually eating enough protein, they became pointless. Cool flavors, zero noticeable benefit.

The biggest benefit is convenience. Hard to hit every micronutrient daily, especially if you’re cutting. A multi keeps you covered.

Don’t sleep on sodium, bro. Everyone cuts it too early and wonders why they’re flat and weak. Keep your salt up till the last week your strength will thank you.

Core stability work helped me big time planks, bird dogs, and anti-rotation stuff. Most guys skip it until they get hurt. Keep that tight and your back won’t get smoked again.

I cycle mine. Heavy leg/back days = high carbs, lighter accessory days = low. Works great and keeps me lean.

Exactly bro. EAAs shine for people training fasted or on super low calories. Otherwise, whey shakes or a solid meal covers it.

Traditional deads fried my lower back. Trap bar + RDLs give me the same stimulus without pain.
