LOL DO YOU EVEN PHYSICS BRO??!?!?!
gravity isn't a force for crying out load! it is a downwards acceleration in the direction of the Earth's core!

Just be yourself, focused less on what others think and more on yourself. Confidence comes from having a deep rooted conviction in yourself. I think this happens from staying true to who you are. It comes with time brother.

Why would you not recommend box SQ for an assistance exercise for low bar SQ? I was reading an article by juggernaut training systems and they said box SQ will help a lot with leg drive for the DL.

it is not measured in Newtons (the units for a FORCE) but instead in metres per second (the units for either acceleration or velocity)

Well, working out to look good is often where it starts. I used to be skinny as shit (but athletic) and working out "fixed" that for me. However, I progressed and evolved to a point that I'm strong as hell and muscular without focusing on how big my biceps are. I could care less about the size of my chest, as long as I can press some big weights it's all fine and dandy. I can't stand the very muscular looking bb types that can't do shit with their all show but no go muscles. 🙂

Take it slow and easy and look into a powerlifting type training vs a bodybuild split and you'll gain plenty of muscle (not bloated size, but actual powerful muscle). This channel has all you need. 🙂

Measure your progress by the weights lifted as opposed to the circumference of your arms. 🙂

are you trolling? you're not actually this stupid right?

"the units for either acceleration or velocity" – implying velocity and acceleration have the same units?!? WTF

the acceleration DUE to gravity is.. an.. accleration. Gravity refers to the gravitational FORCE. the attractive force between any two objects that have mass. has nothing to do with the core of the Earth.

you do realize 9.8 m/s^2 is not a constant right?

Please tell me you're trolling… please?

Omar, how effective are hyperextensions when compared to the assistance movements for the low bar squat? I'm able to do good mornings, but not the others.

I have this problem myself and the thing that's helping me most at the moment is seeing my progress in the gym every week. That sense that I'm achieving something I can be proud of. I've got a LOOOONG way to go still (only about 14 weeks in) but its already helped me a ton. In short, do something you can be proud of.

Yes i mean it. You are smart if you understand you need to eat right at your age to kill your belly.

Listen to this I saw an interview with body building champion where he talks about 7 odd foods he eats to keep his abs hard.

You are correct. we must kill the bad fat and belly first to get the 6 pack.

Listen to this do you know about the 7 odd foods that kill belly fat if you don't know about them you must see this.
