When focusing on isolating lats, I’m making sure my intent is to drive my upper arm down. At times I will start to feel the long head of my tricep activate hard, almost to the point where I fail because of the tension is so great. Any ideas why and what the solutions may be? Thanks!

once you get to where you can stack the weight stack on a machine, is it better to figure how to attach extra plates or dumbbells to the stack or handles, or use bands. Or if both can be beneficial, how do you know which way is best at the time?

Does the meal timing from the diet calc should take in consideration my training time? I mean shouldn’t I be eating more carbs peri-workout or I just keep the same it says?

on a video you talked about when doing DB Shoulder Press one should just focus on moving the weight “up” and not “up and together” because when driving the DBs together at the top there will be less tension on the delt.
How does this principle work when doing incline DB press for chest? Is there a benefit of trying to bring the DBs together at the top ? Or is it even ineffecient to do so? From a personal and a science standpoint?

What are your thoughts on intensification techniques such as rest-Pause or Clusters ? Specifically when training by yourself, when you don’t have the option of forced reps, to allow more reps while still using heavy-ish loads

I started lifting in October of 2018, I was REALLY skinny and eating very low protein weighing 70kg at 185cm. I went overboard and bulked up to 88kg with 18% body fat being very consistent with my diet and training, but clearly gained too much of unwanted fat as I did too much carbs. Now I am trying to cut down the fat, I started cutting four months ago and got to 79kg with 16% body fat. I find myself looking flat and fat in my waist has gone down but it still looks to soft. I want to get down to 10% body fat so I do my next bulk properly, but I am afraid of loosing more weight and end up skinny fat. I am very disciplined with my diet and training, what would u recommend doing? Really appreciate the help!

This question may be a little vague but what are your thoughts and insights on the “post show rebound” and how do you recommend maximizing it after a contest or cut?

1. I’m trying to mimic a hack squat with the angled smith machine, since I changed gyms and they don’t have a hack squat. This is my set up, feet really out front and I lean back into the bar, with the angle going down to my feet instead of back to my hips. I really feel these well in my quads, similar to the hack machine I used at my old gym. The only issue I have is with my feet. In this position, the feet/ankle are at a greater than 90 degree angle since they are flat on the ground. Would a wedge or something similar under my toes be beneficial to get my ankle more at 90 degrees? Or do you believe it may be too awkward and unsafe?
2. I have been trying to find a way to get more braced when doing leg extensions by placing a wide grip bar under the seat and gripping it with a death grip to keep my body pulled down into the seat. I bought the seat belt you suggested (which I use for seated curls and it is GOLD!). Could I strap this over my quads so I didn’t have to rely on my grip so much with the bar under the pad? Also, is it weird that I have a better feel doing extensions when my hips are off the pad a little or would you recommend keeping the hips lock down in this case?

What exercises would you recommend in place of the seated hamstring curl for the shortened range? I recently switched gyms and instead of having the machine that has a bar over the thighs, the machine at the new gym is hard to keep braced in.
If I can describe it any way is it has a pad that you place against the back of your calf (like a normal machine) and another pad that is placed against just below the front of the knee, locking your lower leg. The only bracing I can do is to hold myself down by the handles on either side of the seat.
Would a seatbelt be a good solution and stay on this machine or should I look into other exercises?

I know you’re not an advocate for gear, but I was wondering if the amount of work in the different programs is enough for a drug enhanced individual as well? I mean the recovery is way better while on, so I would’ve guess the volume should be higher as well to get as much out of the crap you are doing to your body.

Joe I’m working on getting stronger on my squat. I’m issue is when I train in the lower rep ranges the front of my hip gets a really tight pinch and it hurts to do squats. I understand is a huge shot in the dark without seeing my squat but I’m in need of guidance. Any suggestions?

Is there any validity to doing decline bench or “lower pec” focused exercises? How about inner pec? Should flat and incline presses be sufficient?
