      I’d really love to find a dead lift and benchpress focused program. I’m sure it would have some squatting in it but that’s the two lifts that I think I’d really like to bring out. Any thoughts I did just subscribe to your base strength AI it seems pretty cool, thank you for creating it

    Great advice at the end... As someone with shoulder pain... I have done this forever and it works every time.
    When something hurts, but is still usable... I half the weight and slow the motion down by 4x with a full stretch of the muscle.
    99% of the time the pain will be gone in under a month.

    Real talk about the allergies... It's becoming SO common these days that is disturbing. I'm not pro conspiracies, but i think some people in the top kinda said "fuck em - let's poison them and make some money". There's dangerous levels of heavy metals even in salt, not to even mention stuff that's made from powders - bread, protein shakes, anything ultra processed etc.
    I developed a cat allergy and skin rashes that were incredibly bad and didn't go away until i did more of a carnivore approach, and now over a year later i can eat plants again, my rash went away, ALL of my allergies went away, including my "genetic" seasonal allergies that i had since i was a kid, etc.
    They are putting something in the food!

In Australia it is very hard to find a loaf of bread made from bread Ingredients. Every second cunt has a gluten allergy. Heal you're guts with quality food. Gluten allergy is mostly self inflicted, you wrecked you're own guts mate

    Bro try nizoral shampoo on you face and head. Leave it on for a minute then rinse. I have the same thing and went to a dermatologist and it wasn't gluten intolerance it was subhorreic dermatitis from oily skin and a fungus that normally lives in harmony with us on our skin but because of oily skin it goes crazy 🤪 oh, and the doc prescribed me the nizoral but get it at Walmart it's cheaper

    6'6. long arm guys have a distinct disadvantage at how far back their elbows need to travel. My advice is don't drop your elbows too far below your shoulders and stop trying to compete with those with shorter range of motion and better levers. Even if this means saying that you rep a 140kg even though you are an inch above your chest. Your advantage is torque and you wont see it on the bench press in particular. Dont go deeper than other people and risk shoulder health. Switch to dumbbells and be happy with a moderate bench. We aren't all hafthor or Brian Shaw and need to take our shoulder health seriously. No-one likes trigonometry but it still exists in the strength world.

    Advice for people with tiny wrists? I have no joke microscopic wrists (5.7in circumference) as a 5’8 180lb man. I genuinely gain 40-50 pounds with wrist wraps which I am told is NOT normal. But I don’t want to fully rely on them if possible. Can wrists actually strengthen/grow in size? I’ve worked out a year and half and gained no wrist size or strength that I can notice
