Straight facts Mario! Once you take your sets close to failure, the gains really begin to flow šŖ
I blew out my shoulder earlier this year, had to do cardio only for two weeks due to the pain when lifting anything, it sucked and was mentally challenging BUT long term was worth it as I was back at it after just two weeks, know your limits šš»
I agree with the going all out to see how far you can go. For me, I actually find that choosing a number does help, but it should be an unreasonable number, like 30 instead of 10. Otherwise, mentally, I might not make a lift just because Iām not focused.
After years of training and trying out all kinds of rep and set ranges and training systems i know use one simple and to me most effective way of training i've ever used : picking my favorite and most effective exercise and performing just 2 sets of 8-12 reps to failure on said exercise , making sure i increase the weight slightly every next workout. ( weight increase = core principle )That one exercise is all i do per workout. Never made better gains in my workout life. Might not be for everyone , but it works for me.
Thank you for constantly making good information videos š
I slightly injured my shoulder a few years ago putting a propane tank on a forklift. The next day I took a bunch of ibuprofen and went to my other job and acted like nothing happened...following morning my shoulder was 20x worse and couldn't lift my arm past my waist. I learned a valuable lesson.
Thank you Mario. You've been a great mentor for me to where I am now. šš»š¤š»šŖš
More training videos on the way hopefully, I always like hearing your thoughts on training.
Just a couple weeks ago I hurt my lower back while exercising. Thinking about it carefully it was most likely due to lifting too much during a dumbbell shoulder press which led to very poor form. I gave myself a break doing only aerobic for several days then resumed regular lifting but I decreased the shoulder press weight by 5 pounds to make sure I'm using the correct form.
i really like the first advice my right elbow was hurting me so i changed straight bar triceps pushdown to rope pushdown that helped me a lot
Absolutely pivotal advice! Thank you Mario!
This was a very useful advice. Thanks.
One for Mario, one For the Algo
Been loving your videos and they have really helped me a lot. Been training consistently now for 6 months and sticking to my calorie deficit and seeing my weight go down and strength go up. Was devastated when a few weeks ago I developed elbow tendonitis. Training has really become routine for me and I love going to the gym 4 times a week. Would you recommend stop lifting for a few weeks or keep going and do lighter weights but higher reps? Thanks in advance Mario.
Good advices Mario. Few weeks ago i felt this strong heat in my left triceps while i was trying to position myself on machine. I wasnt even lifting. I realized that my lower triceps head got bump that hurts. After that i had three days of not working triceps and two for weekend rest. When i came back i did workout with same weight and that bump came back. Now i got advice from guy that works there to skip triceps exercises for a whole month to get that triceps good again...
I did bulgarian split squats with the 110 pound dumbbells and all I gotta say is God help me lol
Omfg bro my back broke when I saw the deadlift clip you put in there wtf lmfaoo
