Journey Back to The Stage

[Steedie]

Compounds - using more/bigger muscles - generate more test/HGH, IIRC, leaving a better environment for tiny muscles in isolation.

Practically, fatigue is the only real determinant of workout structure...

Not strictly true, but yeah, compounds tend to cover the bigger muscle groups. And working legs/back etc tend to trigger the body to release more testosterone, although I'm not sure HGH is affected in the same way?

I'm never going to lift epic weights with squats, I've accepted that now, so I tend to rely on pre-exhaustion to stimulate growth. And I guarantee doing those squats last was harder than me doing 120-130kg working sets first

I'm going to put my broscience hat on and say that I think HGH release is at least partly related to lactate build up, which would suggest that exercise order doesn't matter.

You do end up missing out on the effects of huge neural adaptation though, and I have no idea how a test release is stimulated.

You definitely could squat big weights!

I normally stimulate my test release by gently massaging my penis, typically aided by a visual stimulus.

Pls show me how I can stimulate my test release too.

Bru, pls, everyone is capable, just easier not to.

"Everyone wants to be a body builder but St00dles doesn't want to lift no big ass weights". - well, squat them at least

I don't know the mechanisms between either, tbh - just going on what one of my coaches and Polinquin suggest...

Does it matter? Not unless you're trying to squat/whatever big.

EDIT: also, where something is not strictly true, please enlighten me, because:

a) it stops the spread of BS, and
B) this stuff is interesting.

 

[icecold]

I will do my best!

From a sports performance perspective (Poliquin) prioritising bigger movements makes a lot of sense. Bodybuilders don't need to care about neural adaptation to quite the same extent.
