Re: Anyone Else’s Elbows Hurt More Than Their Muscles After Push Day?

Yeah I’ve been going heavy on skull crushers lately. Might swap them out and see if that calms things down.

Anyone Else’s Elbows Hurt More Than Their Muscles After Push Day?

My triceps feel fine but my elbows feel like 90-year-old joints. Is this a form issue or is this just “gym tax”?

Re: How Long Are Your Workouts?

Used to do 2-hour workouts when I was younger. Progress actually got better once I trimmed the junk volume.

Store brands over name brands every time. Nutrition labels are basically identical.

Re: What Do You Eat Before Training That Actually Boosts Your Workout?

Honestly, a simple chicken + white rice bowl 60–90 mins before lifting. Zero bloating, pure fuel. It’s boring but it works.

Re: Going All-Out Every Set… or Saving a Rep? What’s Actually Better?

I train close to failure on everything, but I only go true failure on isolation stuff: curls, lateral raises, triceps, etc. Way safer and way easier to recover from. My delts blew up doing this.

Pink salt + lemon in water pre-lift. Simple and cheap.

Re: BCAA or EAA – Do They Actually Change Anything in Your Training?

If you’re natty, your biggest bang-for-buck is sleep, diet, creatine and caffeine. EAAs/BCAAs are like… icing on the cake, not the cake itself.

Re: Beating Knee Pain on Leg Day

Strengthen your hamstrings and glutes, bro. Everyone goes quad-heavy and forgets the backside. Balanced legs protect the knees.

Re: Meal Timing – Does It Really Matter?

We used to eat every 2–3 hours religiously back in the day. Still works, but honestly, it’s more about keeping hunger away than anything magical.
