being shredded and being strong are not necessarily one in the same

Hence weightlifters v bodybuilders

So it depends what you're going for

2018-07-07 03:08:55 UTC  

I definitely want to be actually strong, not just have the look

2018-07-07 03:09:05 UTC  

I lean more towards the former, so if you want to focus more on the latter then you'll have to do more research into it; suffice to say from what I've seen it involves more cutting and focusing on isolated muscle exercises

2018-07-07 03:09:09 UTC  

rather than compound exercises

2018-07-07 03:09:16 UTC  

can't really go wrong with the holy trinity though

2018-07-07 03:11:15 UTC  

do you mean power clean, squat press, and bench press?

2018-07-07 03:11:32 UTC  

I keep it super simple

2018-07-07 03:11:35 UTC  

always squats

2018-07-07 03:12:25 UTC  

then I'll mix in two others, choosing from

OHP
Deadlifts
Bench
Power clean

2018-07-07 03:13:09 UTC  

You can build off of that

2018-07-07 03:13:28 UTC  

whats OHP

2018-07-07 03:13:38 UTC  

Overhead Press

2018-07-07 03:14:24 UTC  

like a military press?

2018-07-07 03:20:56 UTC  

```[On not calling "The Press", "The Shoulder Press]

We just call it the press, because how could you press without the shoulders? You can leg press... but that's gay. "```

2018-07-07 03:21:37 UTC  

`r i p p e t o e`

2018-07-07 03:24:01 UTC  

is it the same as a military press?

2018-07-07 03:24:27 UTC  

Mil press is a variation of regular press

2018-07-07 03:24:36 UTC  

lemmesee if I can dig something up

2018-07-07 03:24:42 UTC  

regular press?

2018-07-07 03:24:49 UTC  

yes.

2018-07-07 03:24:50 UTC  

regular press.

2018-07-07 03:25:20 UTC  

call it a standing press if you want

2018-07-07 03:25:22 UTC  

whatever works

2018-07-07 03:25:49 UTC  

i dont know these, I do bench press, chest press, shoulder press, standing military press

2018-07-07 03:27:24 UTC  

`chest press`

2018-07-07 03:27:26 UTC  

buh

2018-07-07 03:27:32 UTC  

like a weight machine?

2018-07-07 03:27:39 UTC  

or are you using dumbells

2018-07-07 03:29:19 UTC  

I try to avoid machines

2018-07-07 03:29:31 UTC  

When I was younger I thought you were supposed to start with machines and then move on to big scary freeweights

2018-07-07 03:29:53 UTC  

Except they tend to constrict your natural range of motion and by extension wind up teaching bad habits

2018-07-07 03:30:24 UTC  

Then you see people using freeweights awkwardly because they're used to the machine guiding them

2018-07-07 03:31:08 UTC  

i use both, the chest press and shoulder press are machines and then the standing military press and bench press with barbells

2018-07-07 03:31:34 UTC  

wait

2018-07-07 03:31:37 UTC  

you use a smith machine?

2018-07-07 03:31:55 UTC
