just have a strong base theory

if your clavicles arent death tier narrow your base is good enough

From what i've read volume >> intensity for shoulders and neck

 

[Plushie]

6 set legs per week, don't use this routine unless you want the ratios of androgenic

Should i actually look into this or are you trolling JFL

 

[AverageEnjoyer]

Everywhere i read was telling me to do hit it 2-3x a week jfl. Since legs hardly add anything to aesthetics i limited it to once a week. I've been thinking about removing them entirely but i'm not trying to become like that chicken leg meme

Edit: jumprope does actually hit hamstrings, albeit not as much as DB romanians but should be adequate for aesthetics

holy fatigue

cap sets at 2 with a warmup set?

 

[elkkkk]

cap sets at 2 with a warmup set?

just dont do more than 8 sets per week per muscle group if ur running fb

 

[LegendaryKennen]

Don't workout more than 30-40 min total a week, according to the anti gym studies

30-40 min is more healthier than 0 minutes, so just do a quick 30 min gympass once a week.(not super Intensive stuff doe) and ure all set

 

[redeemthecard]

4x12 incline db press

terrible advice imo

2 sets, first one 1 rir second one to failure

shoulders arent any different to chest

neck probably idk shit about neck training

Pretty sure a rebuttal serves the whole thread better than an empty insult
