yeah ive just started a non linear program i just made where i peak to my last strength pr and instead of add weight i lift the same weight on multiple session than i add weight…does that even work ?
yeah when the muscle gets thicker and denser but not bigger and puffy like sarcoplasmic does…nonetheless you do get some muscle from training for strength and the cns adaptations but the rest you get from switchign to bodybuilding and volume training becasue strength training is usually low volume compound heavy training and volume training is lesser weight isolation compound strategic muscle stimulation and contraction training
noddle arm and bird chest city is just foolish most guys will look like thye lift when they squat and deadlift respectable numbers especially if they were not doing it or meeting standards before
Every response from him just feels like rage bait, but I also get a kick out of the ridiculousness of it all. It’s like if ChatGPT were programmed to just be wrong and every time you disagree it doubles down.
These threads always get a ton of responses and I do think there’s value in the advice… just to everyone except the question-asker. I’m sure there’s a philosophical term behind this @T3hPwnisher would know or an ego explanation @EmilyQ would understand.
I really am personally surprised by folks that come in with a question as a guise to tell us all the answers. It’s a strange communication device, but we’ve got to be “teaching” it somewhere because it comes up with some frequency.

This is “Cunningham’s Law”
It operates off the premise that people are inherently unhelpful, but they love to correct people that are incorrect. Therefore, if you want the best advice possible, instead of asking for it, it’s best to say something WRONG so that you get the right advice.
If I go into a cooking forum and say “How do I make a quiche?”, no one will respond. Or they might call me an a-hole for not reading the FAQ. But if I go in and say “The best way to make a quiche is in a microwave, and ketchup is superior to holandaise sauce”, I’ll walk away with about 40 different quiche recipes and someone grandmother’s top secret holandaise sauce recipe passed down for 4 generations.
I’m just as pleased with myself for knowing you’d know as I am impressed you immediately knew. In academia, I’m sure that’s narcissism; in hill country it’s fishing the right hole.
That’s kind of wild, but on reflection I think it’s accurate. I don’t know that I’d call it sad, though; just human nature. Kind of like capitalism thrives by accepting altruism as irrational (come at me, Internet politicians; I’ll just ignore all arguments!) - better off to work within human nature than lament it.
100%. We can work within the human nature framework without being a douche as well. People may not like being helpful, but people DO like feeling superior in social situations. I’ve learned, offline, when asking for help, to admit my complete and total helplessness and to put great reverence on the person I am asking for help. People don’t necessarily like to help, but they enjoy being the teacher in the student/teacher relationship.
