Why do reps exist? Why do sets exist? Why not workout not by the book, but by your body's state?
Pushups until your arms can't hold you up. Plank until your abs or shoulders can't hold you and you collapse out of exoustion. Beat the bag until you can't lift your arms no more.
Workout until you're tired. Not when the timer runs out.
Has anyone tried this? Results?

it's a frame of reference
8 reps with the heaviest you can grows more muscle than 3 reps with the heaviest you can
it's something really easy to realize as you workout more and more. I do agree it's kind of a pointless metric if you dont know how to choose your load.
As we all know beginners perceive their effort to be bigger than it actually is, so sticking to a rep and set scheme is going to bring about incomplete results.
This is all covered by simply doing progressive overload, this is the most brainless way to progress to start using the load you specifically need

>Why do reps exist? Why do sets exist?
For beginners. When people start working out, they dont know their own bodies plus they think there's particular numbers for everything - sets, reps, weights. They don't really understand training and think that unless they do the specific numbers, it doesnt work
>Why not workout not by the book, but by your body's state?
That's what everyone does at some point, the sooner the better. The ones that just mindlessly imitate movements and never put any thought into it don't ever do it. But the people that spend some time training eventually figure it all out and especially what and how it works best.

>Are leg raises the most effiecient way to develop abs?
well no, most efficient way would be to hold static tension for 30-40 seconds on abs
abs are attached to ribs and pelvis, legs have nothing to do with abs
throw 4 times folded towel on floor, lie on ur back so that towel ends up beneath ur spine, raise ur torso up by bendingin spine and hold for 40 secs - there, ur abs by summer because u finally, for the first time ever isolated abs

What is you favorite diet to lose weight and fat ? And what are your recommended macros?
4 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>74142259
Avoid simple carbs and avoid sugar in all forms. Vegetables and meat only. Also avoid dairy because it’s high in calories.

coffee, tee, energy drinks to suppress hunger.

>>74142259
Literally does not matter, just be in a caloric deficit. That being said, you’ll feel a lot better (or at least, less shitty) while cutting weight if your nutrition comes from whole, unprocessed or minimally processed foods. Vegetables, meats (lean cuts with occasional fattier cuts), fruits, whole grains. Eating plenty of protein will help to preserve muscle if you have any. My current plan looks something like this:

>brekkie
Smoothie with Greek yogurt, milk, frozen fruit, spinach, banana
>lunch
Chicken & rice, beef & rice, tacos, etc. with fruit (something with plentiful protein and carbs, usually the most calorie-dense meal of the day)
>dinner
Salad w carrots onion cucumber chicken and dressing. This is also the time where I look at the gaps in my macros and fill them with whatever I need
>>
>>74142259
don't eat anything until noon every day, no snacks no calorie foods, plain coffee

I think it's just the easiest to do, and if you exercise the caloric needs will put you into ketosis every day and give you more energy.

Sounds like you're burnt out from working out. Detrain for at least a week, let your CNS, muscles and mind recover and relax. Like what >>74137719 said, change up your program so when you come back, you'll enjoy being at the gym again. Remember the reason why you started and what keeps you going, see if that spark is ignited once again by that. If not, look towards other forms of inspiration such as movies like Conan, sports like boxing, music such as Manowar or even the whole shpeel of "I lift for her/him".
>what program should i do
Depends what your goals are as well as time and dedication but try a full body split to put you more at ease when coming back to what you're passionate about. You could continue with your old split as long as you don't feel bored or burnt out again but I say try something new. PPL with reduced volume or even an upper/lower split can also be great for easing back into things. Don't be like the incomplete combustions you see around you just trying to get it over with because you'll end up quitting out of burn out if you still want to drag your feet along. At that, just be disciplined and give it your all even if you don't want to. Start eating more, improve your quality of sleep as well, that could also be hampering your gains. At the dyel shtick, stop giving a shit. Just focus on regaining your passion for lifting and the gains will follow.

sorry to be the one to tell you but
i think you might miss part of your lat muscles bro

he still had the tendons so that and the other muscles compensated for the lack of traps
took him a long time to find out he didn't had it

>shortened partials would be superior for lats in a pullup
I think you're right and I might be feeling my teres muscles that are sore which is fine with me.
>pose with the arms relaxed to the sides and they won't look small
But that's kinda cheating. I saw some calisthenics guys in a deadhang that had wings so I wanted to see what mine would look like so I took that pic and was disappointed. I've been wide rowing 30-35kg and shrugging a lot more since I took pics, should be more dominant when I take the next pic.

Focusing on the lat stretch is more important in rows because lat fibers are mostly horizontal or some shit like that, I'm sure some nerd can correct me

>>74142510
hmm maybe it was the photo
maybe it's just a short lat
i personally don't feel the lats to much when doing pull ups or levers

i like one armed rows on the ring to really feel the lat from top to bottom
fully rotate your body out at the bottom and than rotate your body in while pulling and squeeze the lats on top
