Five weeks. One group only stretched, the other only lifted. Whose flexibility improved more? 🤸 Which card did you pick?

About the same. (Morton 2011, Afonso 2021)

Does lifting weights make women bulky? Not in the way most people fear.

Women still build muscle well. Getting much bigger is usually a deliberate goal.

Are squats bad for your knees?

In healthy knees, reviews do not support that myth when technique and load are sensible. Forward knee travel is often normal in a deep squat.

Short rests or longer rests for muscle? ⏱️

A 2016 study in trained men: 3-min rests beat 1-min for strength and thigh growth.

Education only. Narration + music are AI-generated.

How long do you rest between hard sets?

[Niulyfe @NiulyfeApp]

Back exercises ranked for beginners.

S tier: lat pulldown, seated cable row.
A tier: chest-supported row, one-arm dumbbell row.

This is an educational ranking for day-one lifters, not a hypertrophy contest.

@gzlifts That last rep really does make you reconsider your hobbies 😅 Do you take every set to failure or keep a rep or two back?

[Niulyfe @NiulyfeApp]

@AidenJohnson87 The deload has been trying to reach you since March 😅 Basically a lighter training week: fewer sets, easier effort, a break from chasing numbers.

[Niulyfe @NiulyfeApp]

@jasonmcmack Putting "do less" in the plan is somehow harder than adding another exercise 😂 Do you schedule deloads or go by how training feels?

[Niulyfe @NiulyfeApp]

@lord_danno Somehow checking a food label is obsessive but buying six supplements is just being into fitness😂

[Niulyfe @NiulyfeApp]

@TrainingInNYC Swapping exercises seems fine as long as something still gets harder over time. The tricky part is keeping score when the movement keeps changing. How do you track overload across the swaps?

[Niulyfe @NiulyfeApp]

@BradSchoenfeld Same growth with lower effort ratings is the useful part for anyone who burns out pushing every set to 1 RIR. Interesting that guessing 3 RIR got more accurate too. Did accuracy at 1 RIR change at all?

@krowfitness Do you use the same elbow-toward-the-hip cue on cable rows, or change it depending on what you're targeting?
