yo E,

have you ever eaten like 2-3 decent sized handfulls of gummy bears and just swallowed them (no chewing)?

a ton of them will actually come out whole in your poop. i’d say like 30%

it’s pretty fucking insane[/quote]

No. Way.

Wouldn’t doing a set of curls emphasize the biceps by that logic? Or a set of straight arm pull-downs remove the lats by that logic?

You’ve got to have the same rules apply across the board.

I would say it depends how hard you fatigue the biceps would be the important factor.

8 curls with 8rm pre chin up = less involvement
8 curls with 15rm pre chin up = more involvement

What do you reckon?[/quote]

Even if that were true, the same rule would apply to the lats and straight arm pull-downs. The point is that he didn’t give any such qualifiers and instead made two contradictory statements. I was just trying to get bantam to think about what he had said, not trying to pick on him or act like a dick.

Pre-exhaust (which is what he’s talking about) generally means that muscle group is going to be the one to give out first, and thus be “targetted” the most. If you tried to do an 8RM of curls pre chin-up, I bet that you wouldn’t get too many chin-ups and it’d be your biceps that gave out first/got the most stimulation.

That’s basically the whole point of doing pre-exhaust; to target a specific muscle, not to eliminate it.

If an elephant were to run off a cliff wouldn’t its last step be considered a jump?

nah it’s not gaining any height. falling coconuts kill more people every year than sharks though.

its probably safe to assume that sharks have a relatively low likelihood of death from falling coconuts compared to almost any land animal.
