Dudes, At some point you are gonna get too old to care about obsessing to look like a condom stuffed full of walnuts. You will reach an age where you realise that what really matters is sleep, cardio health, and flexibility. May the force be with you.
Dude, Thanks for the visual. But not all of us tren hard and eat clen. Some of us are natural. As for the rest of it:
I went to Adelphi. Carpinelli and Otto were my professors. Henneman’s size principle is definitely the key component. Most people have no clue about the orderly recruitment of motor units. And yes the SAID principle comes into play for any task. To become a better powerlifter you must practice the skills related to powerlifting, that being the bench, squat, and deadlift, and go heavy since the heaviest weight wins. That’s an expression of strength competition. You do not need to do those exercises to grow bigger, stronger and be healthy. Train in a safe and efficient manner then go practice whatever skills you want to develop. Schedule training sessions and skill practice based on your ability to recover and adapt from those sessions.
Yes that’s true but strength is a key component in the longevity puzzle. Stronger muscles also = stronger heart. Cardio if you’re talking about it from a training standpoint is a function of muscle contractions. Weak muscles heart works harder. Stronger muscles heart doesn’t have to work as hard to perform the same task. Just doing cardio with no resistance training is not wise for overall health.
I read a number of their papers. I really like the way Carpinelli went after the high volume, many set proponents, chipping away at their research findings, piece by piece. I emailed him once and he was kind enough to respond, although he didn't answer a follow-up question. Not long after, I read online that he passed following an illness. I don't know if this is true or not, but I haven't seen any papers written by him since. Clarence Bass greatly admired him, and with good reason.

This urine-drinking guy is insane. (No wonder he seems pissed in his videos.) https://www.youtube.com/@SnakeDiet And while he's not fat, he's not exactly lean.
