Agreed.

thanks broheim

stats like lift numbers or like weight/height maybe measurements etc lol

/facepalm

Ab workouts are great imo. If most of your lifts use core, why would you not want to work out core heavy one day of the week? Why is it better to spend a whole day on chest which is far less useful than core?

I know there have been a few times i did tons of sqauts and deadlifts for months and no core then i did core one day and my abs were sore as fuck. This taught me the importance of working abs on their own as well, just toss them in on your leg day or a few days off of your leg day(not the day before or after).

Also if you workout for aesthetics or strength(what else is there?) isolated lifts are very important. You need to be doing isolated and compound lifts and a fair amount of each if you want maximal gains. Focus more on doing different RoM's for each muscle group, i.e. hammer curls and concentration curls, as they hit different parts of the bicep more.

i agree bro
literally never doing ab work besides a bit during this cut and my abs are like non-existant haha
im definitely gonna make sure im doing 1-2 ab days a weeks + squats/deads

its really the way to go, make sure you do static and weighted lifts, i.e. planks for static and cable crunches for weighted.

Hit me with a PM if you want some tips on cutting routines I been doing some good research on it lately.

you think static ones are necessary? but yeah i basically always do weighted stuff
and pmd

both m8

Isolations are good, when you know you should start them. IMO you get the best gains on a program more focused on compounds than isolations for the first few years, later on when you want to add muscle in specific places or for proportion and symetry is when i think you should focus more on isolations.

I figured your bench would be so much more...
