@stevemagness Shit, I was pissed when I found out my glycogen wasn't depleted after a heavy set of bench press.

Let alone that it's only 40% depleted after a long intense weight training session.

We store more glycogen than we think.

@sumitkbehal What's so bad about breaking your back for life?

@CoachDanGo Is the risk-to-reward ratio too high for playing a game of pickup basketball?

Far more injuries happen per hour in team sports than in powerlifting (which includes deadlift).

Maybe seeking resilience is a better goal than avoiding risk.

@sharrond62 It's only cheating if it's against the rules.

@mikeddonatelli I really wish I wrestled more than just 2nd grade. I do value that year tho.

@BowTiedHRT @AJA_Cortes @nickcpicks Type 1 hypogonadism? Or still worthwhile even then?

[ArmDayOnly 💯 @ArmDayOnly]

@bowtiedmeathead Most significant benefit I noticed at first was improvement in the emotional stability.

@AndyHolloway Same strategy for a super flex dynasty startup?

@AntiDoc @bowtiedwhitebat I was gonna argue with #8, but I think you just got lazy with the wording.

Squats and sprints CAN have a positive impact on your physique. It's just not BECAUSE of the temporary hormone spikes.

100% on everything else tho.

[ArmDayOnly 💯 @ArmDayOnly]

@AntiDoc How much is his physique starting to look like Hulk Hogan?

If it is, then he's progressing towards his goal.

If not, then he's sacrificing sleep and heart health without progressing towards his goal, which seems a waste.

@snidermatt66 @DezBryant Are you thinking Minnesota has low income tax? Cuz...

[ArmDayOnly 💯 @ArmDayOnly]

Incredible. This is my experience with life in general.

My experience with golf is that the more work you put into getting better, the higher you can score!

@Bengal_DPT Hello give me a hard one

[ArmDayOnly 💯 @ArmDayOnly]

@Bengal_DPT My recipe:

Low incline DB pec fly
Incline DB front raise
Incline DB biceps curl

Deepest stretch possible.

@KingOfVitamins Nothing like a steady hum of cortisol because you can't keep some arbitrary metric in some unnecessarily narrow range to totally help with the gains.

[ArmDayOnly 💯 @ArmDayOnly]

@Hybridathlete Some running could help you get more muscle, because you'll recover faster between sets and can handle more volume per set/session.

Some lifting could help you run faster, because you'll be at less risk of injury and can train more (plus other reasons).

[ArmDayOnly 💯 @ArmDayOnly]

@anymanfitness Pretty sure the literature says the opposite about volume.

And people going for 1-3 rep maxes usually don't have looking good as their top priority.
