Q & A

  • ¿Qué es la técnica y por qué es importante para el crecimiento muscular?

    -La técnica se refiere a la forma en que se realiza un ejercicio, y es importante para el crecimiento muscular porque permite trabajar los músculos de manera efectiva y segura, maximizando el potencial de crecimiento y minimizando el riesgo de lesiones.

  • ¿Cuál es el primer elemento clave de una técnica de entrenamiento efectiva para el crecimiento muscular?

    -El primer elemento clave es un rango de movimiento profundo, lo que significa que los músculos entrenados deben estar en su posición más estira en cada repetición para maximizar el crecimiento.

  • ¿Por qué es recomendable realizar un rango de movimiento completo durante los ejercicios?

    -Un rango de movimiento completo ayuda a estirar los músculos al máximo, lo que estimula más el crecimiento muscular, mejora la flexibilidad y reduce el riesgo de lesiones a largo plazo.

  • ¿Qué significa 'controlado Ecentric' y por qué es importante?

    -El 'controlado Ecentric' se refiere a la fase de bajada en los ejercicios, donde los músculos se alargan mientras se contraen. Es importante porque permite un mayor crecimiento muscular y reduce el riesgo de lesiones al evitar movimientos bruscos y descontrolados.

  • ¿Qué es 'no hacer trampa' en el contexto de la técnica de entrenamiento y cómo afecta el entrenamiento?

    -'No hacer trampa' significa no utilizar otros músculos o movimientos bruscos para levantar una carga que no se puede manejar con el músculo objetivo. Es importante para asegurar que el músculo objetivo trabaje adecuadamente y para prevenir lesiones y resultados ineficaces.

  • ¿Qué significa 'hacer trampa' en el entrenamiento y cómo se puede identificar?

    -'Hacer trampa' en el entrenamiento es cuando se usan movimientos no deseados o se manipula la posición del cuerpo para levantar más peso que lo que el músculo objetivo puede manejar. Se puede identificar cuando el movimiento parece forzado o cuando otros músculos toman el rol principal en el ejercicio.

  • ¿Cuál es la cuarta pauta para una técnica de entrenamiento efectiva y cómo se aplica?

    -La cuarta pauta es enfocarse en el músculo que es el factor limitante, es decir, asegurarse de que el músculo objetivo sea el que se canse primero en el ejercicio, lo que garantiza que se esté trabajando adecuadamente.

  • ¿Qué es el quinto consejo para una técnica de entrenamiento óptima y cómo influye en la sostenibilidad del entrenamiento?

    -El quinto consejo es elegir una técnica que sea la menos dañina para las articulaciones. Esto ayuda a mantener la sostenibilidad del entrenamiento a largo plazo y a prevenir lesiones articulares.

  • ¿Por qué es mejor evitar el dolor y el uso excesivo de otros músculos durante el entrenamiento?

    -Evitar el dolor y el uso excesivo de otros músculos durante el entrenamiento ayuda a asegurar que el músculo objetivo reciba la mayor cantidad de estimulación posible, lo que lleva a un mayor crecimiento y a una reducción en el riesgo de lesiones.

  • ¿Cómo pueden las malas técnicas de entrenamiento afectar a largo plazo la capacidad de entrenar y el bienestar articular?

    -Las malas técnicas pueden causar lesiones y deterioro articular a largo plazo, lo que puede reducir la capacidad de entrenar y disminuir la calidad de vida debido a la limitación de movimiento y el dolor articular.

  • ¿Qué son las 'RP Hypertrophy' y 'RP Diet Coach' apps y cómo pueden ayudar en el proceso de entrenamiento y nutrición?

    -Las 'RP Hypertrophy' y 'RP Diet Coach' son aplicaciones que ayudan a diseñar programas de entrenamiento y dietas personalizadas. La primera se enfoca en el diseño de programas de entrenamiento que se ajustan a los cambios del cuerpo, mientras que la segunda planea las macros y las comidas para apoyar el crecimiento muscular y la pérdida de grasa.

Keywords

💡Técnica

La técnica se refiere a la forma en que se realiza un ejercicio físico para maximizar el desarrollo muscular y minimizar el riesgo de lesiones. En el video, se enfatiza que una buena técnica es fundamental para el crecimiento muscular a largo plazo y se menciona que no existe una técnica perfecta única, sino que varía según la anatomía y las preferencias personales de cada individuo.

💡Rango de movimiento

El rango de movimiento es la extensión completa a través de la cual se mueve un músculo durante un ejercicio. El script destaca que un rango de movimiento profundo es esencial para estimular el crecimiento muscular, ya que permite que los músculos se estiren completamente y se contraigan de manera efectiva.

💡Fase ecdéntrica

La fase ecdéntrica se refiere a la parte del movimiento donde los músculos se alargan mientras se contraen, como cuando se baja lentamente una pesada carga. En el video, se sugiere controlar la fase ecdéntrica para maximizar el crecimiento muscular y evitar lesiones.

💡Control

El control en un ejercicio se refiere a la habilidad de realizar el movimiento de manera lenta y segura, en lugar de dejar que la carga se mueva rápidamente por la fuerza de la gravedad. En el script, se enfatiza la importancia de controlar la fase ecdéntrica para evitar lesiones y mejorar el estímulo muscular.

💡Trapicheo

El trapicheo es el uso de movimientos bruscos o de otros músculos para levantar una carga, en lugar de trabajar el músculo objetivo. El video explica que el trapicheo no es una buena técnica ya que puede llevar a una sobrecarga innecesaria y a lesiones, y reduce la efectividad del ejercicio en el músculo que se busca entrenar.

💡Músculo limitante

El músculo limitante es aquel que primero se agota durante un ejercicio, lo que impide continuar realizando repeticiones. El script indica que una buena técnica debe asegurarse de que el músculo objetivo sea el que limite el ejercicio, lo que garantiza que se trabaje de manera efectiva y se estimule su crecimiento.

💡Articulaciones

Las articulaciones, o joints en inglés, son las uniones entre los huesos que permiten el movimiento. El video enfatiza la importancia de elegir una técnica que sea suave con las articulaciones para evitar lesiones y permitir un entrenamiento sostenible a largo plazo.

💡Carga

La carga en el contexto de ejercicios de fuerza se refiere a la cantidad de peso que se levanta o se mantiene en una posición. En el script, se menciona que usar una carga controlada durante la fase ecdéntrica puede ayudar a maximizar el estímulo muscular sin aumentar el riesgo de lesiones.

💡Fatiga

La fatiga es el cansancio que se siente en los músculos después de realizar ejercicios intensos. El video sugiere que una técnica efectiva reduce la acumulación de fatiga, permitiendo un mayor volumen y intensidad en los ejercicios y, por lo tanto, un mayor crecimiento muscular.

💡Flexibilidad

La flexibilidad es la capacidad de un músculo o articulación para moverse a través de su rango de movimiento completo. El script indica que realizar ejercicios con un rango de movimiento profundo puede mejorar la flexibilidad y reducir el riesgo de lesiones en el futuro.

💡Sustentabilidad

La sustentabilidad hace referencia a la capacidad de mantener un entrenamiento o estilo de vida a largo plazo sin dañar la salud. En el video, se argumenta que una técnica de entrenamiento buena y sostenible permite el crecimiento muscular a largo plazo sin degradar las articulaciones.

if you do better and better and better

play00:01

technique the stimulus you get for

play00:03

muscle growth from the exercise improves

play00:05

and the fatigue you accumulate declines

play00:08

which means that you can pour more

play00:09

intensity and more volume into that

play00:11

exercise with that good technique get

play00:13

more out of it and not really ever have

play00:15

to pay the price of dilapidated joints

play00:17

and telling people you were big back in

play00:18

the 1980s before you broke your back in

play00:20

that one deadlift attempt that's the

play00:22

best way to grow the most long-term

play00:26

muscle hey folks Dr Mike here for

play00:28

Renaissance periodization

play00:31

Fitness simplified series I almost said

play00:33

something else by accident that would

play00:34

have been lewd and dirty and got us

play00:36

canceled forever Fitness simplified

play00:38

series next video this isn't the first

play00:40

video I think it's the second who knows

play00:42

what time it is what good technique

play00:46

actually is when you're training in the

play00:48

gym to try to get your swole on what is

play00:50

good technique so in order to train the

play00:53

most effectively that you can to grow

play00:55

muscle your Technique needs to be as

play00:58

good as it can be the closer to perfect

play01:01

the better yes that's true but when we

play01:05

try to Define perfect we realize there's

play01:07

a lot of variation in what really good

play01:10

technique can be and thus there actually

play01:12

is no such thing as the perfect

play01:14

technique that everyone can use because

play01:17

everyone's built a little different and

play01:18

there's wiggle room at every single

play01:20

point of what perfect technique is it

play01:23

ends up being that the best you can do

play01:26

is great technique and great technique

play01:29

is is quite varied in what that looks

play01:31

like but there are a few core common

play01:34

features of very very good technique

play01:37

that pretty much are always effective in

play01:40

kind of nearly all attempts at muscle

play01:42

growth training so let's take a look at

play01:43

them to see to make sure that you and

play01:45

your own training program whatever it is

play01:47

you're doing in the gym are applying the

play01:49

principles of a really good technique

play01:50

now this is optimized towards muscle

play01:52

growth a lot of the stuff also applies

play01:54

to strength training in a way that's as

play01:56

safe as possible so there are at least

play01:59

five things five core elements of what I

play02:02

would call universally good technique

play02:04

for muscle growth training in the gym

play02:05

with weights first is a deep range of

play02:09

motion that means whatever muscle you

play02:11

are training or muscles you are training

play02:13

if you get them into their Ultra

play02:14

stretched position under heavy loads

play02:16

you're going to grow more muscle than if

play02:18

you never really get your muscles into a

play02:20

stretch and kind of avoid that bottom

play02:22

stretch position so a deep range of

play02:24

motion for a mega stretch at the bottom

play02:26

is a real core element that in almost

play02:29

all cases if you do any exercise and the

play02:32

exercise version you do has a deep

play02:34

stretch versus the same exercise done

play02:36

with a technique that doesn't let you

play02:37

stretch deep like pull-ups where you

play02:39

pull all the way up to the top versus

play02:41

pull-ups where you kind of stop here and

play02:42

come back up the Deep stretch version

play02:45

almost always grows more muscle and you

play02:47

have to use less load which often means

play02:49

a little bit less fatigue and or less

play02:51

risk of injury and because you're taking

play02:54

your muscles through a super big range

play02:55

of motion and putting them into kind of

play02:57

interesting flexibility positions you

play02:59

expand your Mobility flexibility

play03:02

athletic ability and reduce your overall

play03:05

future injury risk from any kind of

play03:07

activity if you slip on ice but you're

play03:09

used to doing super deep sumo squats is

play03:11

that really a position which your body's

play03:13

going to put you that you're going to

play03:14

get like hurt you're pulling aductor out

play03:16

of your hip but if you're cutting your

play03:18

depth a lot and you slip on ice and you

play03:19

have to really dip down with your hips

play03:22

you can hurt some stuff because your

play03:23

body is not strong through its most

play03:25

extreme position so tons of bonus there

play03:27

but just for muscle growth by itself

play03:29

deep stretches are big number two a

play03:32

controlled Ecentric the lowering phase

play03:35

your muscles that are acting are

play03:37

lengthening while they're Contracting

play03:39

slowing the weight down if you don't

play03:42

control entric two things can happen one

play03:45

is because the Ecentric phase causes

play03:48

lots of muscle growth a little bit more

play03:50

probably than even the concentric phase

play03:52

going up you're missing out on some

play03:54

muscle growth not a ton but a little bit

play03:56

if you don't control that weight but the

play03:58

worst thing that can happen is if you

play04:00

let's say you're bench pressing and

play04:01

yours dumping the weight on your chest

play04:03

and then rocketing it back up and then

play04:04

dumping it with no control is The

play04:07

Dumping part can actually cause injury

play04:09

not just from the bar physically hitting

play04:10

you but from muscles being put into a

play04:12

really high Force requirement position

play04:15

in a huge pulse when you have to reverse

play04:17

out of this huge velocity in the other

play04:19

direction so there are sport context

play04:22

once you're properly warmed up to do

play04:24

explosive reactive plyometric type

play04:26

movements but they are not designed to

play04:28

grow muscle and you have to really ramp

play04:30

into them and they're Ultra Ultra

play04:31

fatiguing as well and the risk of injury

play04:33

there is not as low as it is for

play04:35

conventional resistance training to try

play04:37

to put on muscle so by controlling

play04:39

entric and I don't mean controlling it

play04:40

for five years and checking the clock

play04:42

and keep going I mean for at least one

play04:44

second where you're pushing back against

play04:47

the weight somewhat you're not just dive

play04:48

bombing it controll decentric is a

play04:50

really good idea and that's our second

play04:52

core way to have good technique in

play04:54

almost every case number three is no

play04:57

cheating cheating is generally defined

play05:01

as trying to leverage your body and

play05:04

using other muscles and Herky jerky

play05:07

movements and such a way that makes you

play05:09

able to lift the weight you're trying to

play05:10

lift but that doesn't rely on putting

play05:13

the muscle that you're trying to train

play05:15

in an exposed position where it's

play05:17

supposed to work its hardest so if I'm

play05:19

doing curls and I do them like this what

play05:21

is providing almost all of the energy

play05:23

for contraction here it's the bicep like

play05:25

it's doing all the lifting and thus

play05:26

getting all the benefit but if I start

play05:28

doing curls and swinging around like

play05:30

crazy then I'm using my glutes I'm using

play05:33

my lower back I'm using my upper back

play05:35

I'm using my front delts to generate a

play05:37

crap load of force to the dumbbells but

play05:39

the biceps are still doing a similar

play05:42

amount of work and actually if you

play05:44

really focus your ability to really

play05:46

contract with just your biceps you get a

play05:48

better contraction in your bicep than if

play05:49

you're just athletically throwing the

play05:51

weight around sometimes your biceps work

play05:53

just as hard but a lot of times other

play05:54

muscles come in and help which means you

play05:57

have to do more reps or more weight to

play05:59

get the same or even slightly less

play06:02

effect to that Target muscle cheating is

play06:04

one of those things that you know what

play06:06

is it uh there was an old uh forgot if

play06:09

this I think this is really true it's

play06:10

not an urban legend there was like some

play06:11

kind of Supreme Court Justice or

play06:13

something that uh they were had they had

play06:15

ruling on a case of of pornography and

play06:18

whether something was lewd or not or

play06:19

approved for TV and he said I can't

play06:21

Define pornography but I know it when I

play06:23

see it uh cheating is similar to that we

play06:25

can and did just Define cheating but if

play06:27

you have to ask yourself is what I'm

play06:29

doing cheating in the gym do you need to

play06:31

swing around to hit your biceps better

play06:34

no that's just you being an egotistical

play06:36

idiot and trying to get more Reps for no

play06:37

reason then yeah it's cheating if the

play06:40

way in which you're moving gets your

play06:42

biceps into the movement more then it's

play06:44

just a good special technique and it's

play06:46

not cheating at all cheating is almost

play06:48

always and everywhere about only two

play06:50

things avoiding pain that's coming your

play06:53

way anyway by cutting your depth or

play06:54

getting out of the way of where a

play06:55

movement really hurts or about

play06:57

leveraging yourself to lift way more

play06:59

weight or do way more reps than that

play07:01

Target muscle itself can power if you're

play07:03

doing either one of those two things

play07:05

you're cheating if the way you're moving

play07:07

looks like cheating to the untrained eye

play07:08

but really it's leveraging the muscles

play07:10

more than hey you're doing a great job

play07:12

so no worries at all so number three no

play07:14

cheating and gee that wipes about about

play07:17

90% of all the techniques you've ever

play07:18

seen at the regular commercial gym right

play07:20

off the map because most people cheat as

play07:22

much as they can because they think if I

play07:23

just get the work done I'll get the

play07:24

results which is true but it's not just

play07:26

about getting the work done it's about

play07:28

getting the work done by putting muscles

play07:29

through a deep range of motion super

play07:31

deep stretch a controll Ecentric and

play07:34

point number four fourth unifying

play07:37

principle of good technique for muscle

play07:38

growth training is to Target the muscle

play07:41

that is limiting factor which means you

play07:44

arrange your Technique in such a way the

play07:47

way you move your body in such a way

play07:52

that when that exercise is getting close

play07:55

to failure you're unable to do it

play07:57

anymore the muscle you're targeting

play08:00

is what's limiting you it's you can't do

play08:03

another bench press rep because your

play08:05

chest is pulling as hard as it can and

play08:06

it's like dude I don't got this anymore

play08:08

it's not because your chest feels

play08:10

totally great but your triceps or your

play08:12

wrists are hurting so much you're like I

play08:14

got to put this down I got to stop are

play08:15

you training wrists in the bench press

play08:17

no you're trying to train your pecs the

play08:18

question of what the technique looks

play08:20

like is entirely determined on your

play08:22

leverages and on which exercise you're

play08:24

doing and which muscle group you're

play08:26

training so if you're training the leg

play08:28

press for the quads and you put your

play08:30

feet really high up and really wide on

play08:32

the platform it reduces how much range

play08:35

of motion your quads go through your

play08:38

hips uh your adductors your inner thigh

play08:40

is now the limiting factor and it's also

play08:42

the muscle that's getting the most

play08:43

stimulus so you can say yeah leg press

play08:45

that's for quads but your Technique on

play08:47

it isn't good for quads because if you

play08:50

wanted quads you take your feet put them

play08:52

closer together lower on the platform go

play08:54

through a really big range of motion for

play08:56

your quads now at rep number 11 when you

play08:58

get close to failure it's because your

play09:00

quads can't push anymore they're

play09:02

limiting factor which means they get the

play09:04

closest to failure which is where more

play09:06

muscle growth than not is stimulated and

play09:08

then they get that big green check mark

play09:10

of like okay this is good technique for

play09:13

the

play09:18

quads training for muscle

play09:21

growth is never going to be the

play09:24

same and so if you do chest flies in a

play09:27

way that really exposes your chest

play09:29

versus you're flying flat like this and

play09:31

you're doing them kind of halfway and

play09:32

someone's like is it your chest that's

play09:33

getting hit in that exercise like no I

play09:35

kind of feel more my front delts that's

play09:36

a problem that's a problem good

play09:38

technique is technique in which the

play09:40

target muscle is limiting factor and

play09:43

because there are many different ways to

play09:44

move even in the same exercise and

play09:47

especially if you're built a little

play09:48

different that keeps the target muscle

play09:50

limiting factor there are really a lot

play09:52

of different things that are good

play09:53

technique for example if you do a skull

play09:55

crusher and you keep your elbows in the

play09:57

entire time totally cool but if you're

play09:59

do a skull crusher and you let your

play10:00

elbows come out but there's a very huge

play10:02

degree of elbow flexion as long as your

play10:04

triceps are the limiting factor towards

play10:06

the end both are excellent techniques

play10:08

which one you do comes down mostly to

play10:11

the last Universal tip for technique

play10:13

Point number five which is pick the

play10:16

technique that least needlessly beats on

play10:20

your joints so if you're doing a bicep

play10:23

curl like this versus one out here both

play10:26

feel good both Target the muscle like

play10:28

they're supposed to do both controlly

play10:29

Ecentric Etc and you're like hey Dr Mike

play10:32

which one of these techniques is best

play10:33

I'll tell you one of two things one I I

play10:34

think they're both good and you can use

play10:36

one for a few months and use one for

play10:37

another but the next question I'd have

play10:39

to ask you is which one feels better on

play10:41

your joints you're like dude to be

play10:42

honest when I come Arc out like this my

play10:44

elbows feel great if I'm curling close

play10:46

to my body like they get kind of crey

play10:48

they don't like hurt hurt but after a

play10:49

couple sessions they do start to hurt

play10:51

and affects my pull-ups well crap you

play10:53

know here's a fundamental fact about

play10:55

training especially for muscle growth

play10:57

your muscles are more recoverable than

play10:59

your joints which means your muscles can

play11:01

take more of a beating from a variety of

play11:02

different angles and they're never going

play11:04

to be the limiting factor um it's it's

play11:07

like you know a rumbling stomach

play11:09

probably won't be the thing that stops

play11:10

you if you're trying to run your first

play11:12

marathon ever it'll be the fact that

play11:13

your ankles hurt so much you can't walk

play11:15

anymore like they're the limiting factor

play11:17

in that case so a lot of times what we

play11:20

want is the best technique that hits the

play11:23

muscles for sure that's number one but

play11:26

also is the easiest possible technique

play11:28

that we can realis ically imagine on the

play11:30

joints involved if you have a leg press

play11:32

setup or a hack squat you're doing for

play11:34

your quads and one of the ways in which

play11:36

you do the hack squat I mean it blasts

play11:38

your quads right man it fucking beats up

play11:41

your lower back a little bit and your

play11:43

knees are not feeling so Mega Bueno

play11:45

after that shit versus another technique

play11:47

same hack squat different technique you

play11:48

move your feet around move your hips

play11:50

around and all of a sudden that other

play11:51

technique hits your quads just the same

play11:53

amazing stimulus but your joints feel

play11:56

pretty goddamn good that's the better

play11:59

technique so before you ever judge

play12:01

someone's technique externally look some

play12:03

if they're cheating they're cheating

play12:04

it's obvious to everyone but if you're

play12:06

before you judge someone's technique

play12:07

maybe chat with them a little bit and

play12:09

ask them if hey like uh you know which

play12:11

one of these things how does this feel

play12:13

on your joints because sometimes people

play12:14

do some stuff that looks a little goofy

play12:15

the reason they do it is because that's

play12:17

the only way they can train that

play12:18

exercise and still have their joints

play12:20

come out alive and then it's it's

play12:21

totally good and then you can say thank

play12:23

you for participating in my interview at

play12:25

the gym where I asked you about why

play12:26

you're doing a technique and you

play12:27

answered a question for me and then like

play12:29

what what fuck are you talking to me for

play12:32

but don't worry you imagined all that

play12:33

because you're never going to speak to

play12:34

anyone at a gym because you don't have

play12:35

enough self-confidence but just like

play12:37

me took me years to get used to speaking

play12:40

in front of a camera and that Scot video

play12:42

guy yelling at me and pointing a gun at

play12:43

me reminding me the camera's an

play12:45

inanimate object can't hurt me like he

play12:47

can if I don't start talking the usual

play12:49

great working

play12:51

relationship now the last thing I'll say

play12:53

is this none of what I said none of the

play12:56

five pillars of good technique in muscle

play12:58

growth training is Dogma it's not a

play13:00

religion it's just something that's good

play13:02

on the margins when applied to a program

play13:04

so it would behoove you to do more of

play13:07

these things than fewer of these things

play13:10

if you're like yeah the controlly

play13:12

Centric thing meh but like fuck my

play13:14

joints I don't care about

play13:16

them if you were like I'm going to do

play13:18

some kind of control decentric and I'm

play13:20

just going to pick exercises and

play13:21

techniques that are decent on my joints

play13:23

you're doing yourself a service this is

play13:24

all on your side it's not like oh you

play13:26

should do this or else like this is all

play13:28

for you if if you do better and better

play13:30

and better technique the stimulus you

play13:32

get for muscle growth from the exercise

play13:35

improves and the fatigue you accumulate

play13:37

declines so your stimulus to fatigue

play13:39

ratio gets better and better and better

play13:41

which means that you can pour more

play13:42

intensity and more volume into that

play13:45

exercise with that good technique get

play13:47

more out of it and not really ever have

play13:49

to pay the price of dilapidated joints

play13:51

and telling people you were big back in

play13:52

the 1980s before you broke your back in

play13:54

that one deadlift attempt that's the

play13:56

best way to grow the most long-term

play13:58

muscle and longterm is how you gain

play14:01

muscle you can get really good results

play14:03

from crap technique and good technique

play14:06

within a week's time within a month's

play14:08

time shit within a year's time but if

play14:10

you use bad technique for a year and a

play14:13

half the probability it'll just rake

play14:15

your joints across the coals and you

play14:16

won't be able to lift much anymore or

play14:18

get you acutely hurt is a very high well

play14:21

I'll put it another way low in absolute

play14:24

terms much higher in relative terms than

play14:25

you want it to be versus if you have

play14:27

good technique and good technique you

play14:29

could grow a very similar amount of

play14:30

muscle good technique as with bad but

play14:32

it's just going to last you much longer

play14:34

it's hugely sustainable because it beats

play14:36

the shit out of your body much less in

play14:38

the way that we don't want to beat the

play14:39

shit out of ourselves so always be aware

play14:42

to try to do as much Justice to these

play14:43

five technique fundamentals unless you

play14:46

have a very compelling reason to

play14:48

deviate deep stretch controll Ecentric

play14:52

no cheating Target the muscle that

play14:55

you're actually trying to train and make

play14:56

sure it's the limiting factor and if

play14:58

it's not change where you're putting

play14:59

your arms and legs and lastly choose a

play15:02

technique of that variation that is

play15:05

easier on the joints if you do that you

play15:07

will grow more muscle if you need extra

play15:09

help growing muscle right there in the

play15:13

uh Link in the description is a link to

play15:15

play15:17
