Reply to comment by PM_ME_YOUR_GREYJOYS in LPT: To get the most muscle/sculpting for your buck at the gym, focus on compound lifts—the exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups. You only really need overhead press, bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, dips, and maybe pull-ups. These will give you most workout for the energy you put forth. by [deleted]

man, no. just do it slow. concentrate. slow. 🙏

That’s just not how it works. Working slow is overlooked but if we’re trying to combine both improving your muscular development and your athletic performance you can’t just work slow the whole time. You have to be able to control the weight at the bottom of the movement (isometric, good for tendons and energy transfer) and through the explosive movements (concentric)

nobody's trying to improve their athletic performance, they're just trying to look good. slow is the conesus, pretty sure.

He’s saying most bang for your Buck movements. Only working eccentric on compound lifts is only 1/3rd of the equation.

fuck all that though, just do it slow. 🤷‍♂️

what even is a buck movement. it brought up hunting stuff. clearly what i'm talking about is more applicable to humans. 😂

if you're talking about kips and shit you're in alternative truth territory. all you gotta do is lift slow. pop steroids and eat real good for a few weeks if you want to get big. doesn't really matter. slow, is better, unless you're using it.

Oh I get it know, you’re an idiot. My apologies. Best of luck to your long and difficult life.

Says you. Not everyone is only chasing aesthetics.
