Definition of it for you as we are not on the same page. Palcebo is a simulated or otherwise medically ineffectual treatment for a disease or other medical condition intended to deceive the recipient. Sometimes patients given a placebo treatment will have a perceived or actual improvement in a medical condition, a phenomenon commonly called the placebo effect. So my present view of the average off the shelf PWO is both; a) medically ineffectual (placebo) b) improvements are only perceived & not actual. In the mind of the users. (placebo effect)

Body just a bit off on the breathing/hold timing and bingo it's lights out. On top of getting light headed , I used to get an occasional blood nose when I was doing heavy stuff back in the day but, apparently it's normal. Or at least I was told it's ok?

Not always. Be specific. If you are refering to being properly strong or massive they don't. Placebo steroids ? If your body is weak then train it, if you want it stronger. If your mind is weak or is presenting a road block then consider training it also.

acutally it's 150% .... in your own mind.

Sure you keep going , it's not a handicap or some sort of disadvantage.

Seriously , it's not a problem. I am lankier than you. But, if you want to park in the disabled space at the gym you will need a sticker.

so these are the claims; 1)SUPER-INTENSIFIED ENERGY* 2)CLINICALLY PROVEN PRO-TESTOSTERONE* 3)REACTIVE HYPEREMIA (MUSCLE PUMPS)* 4)DMAE INFUSED, MIND-IN-THE-MUSCLE FOCUS* 5) ROAD MAP VASODILATION* What it actually means 1) It's got some calories 2) Doesn't raise testosterone beyond normal or at all in the case of a healthy person (hence not illegal) 3) So what 4) placebo 5) Only applicable if you are lean. If you are a juiced up body builder you have what you need already. yet another 'short cut' promise that tastes like apples.

worlds strongest man is 6ft 8. Long limbs aren't a problem.

you need to be careful around self assesment of these things. Scientifically it's bodyfat scan to be objective. The subjective looks are tough on self esteem for making judgements. Arguably impossible to be objective.

Leesh you are probably seeing things that aren't there. My bet is you have improved and aren't the least bit backwards in appearence. I am sure people will be able to tell you this.

It's normal. After you get the instructions for the second workout. You will find a bunch of excuses to not follow the instruction. Each statement will refer to a limit based on a belief about yourself . It will infer a 'no' answer to the requested volume or routine. Usually people reveal what self imposed limits they have on themselves. Your coach will do battle with the mind set and help you see things differently. For example : A) Girly Whine "I don't see me doing 10 continues reps , I only got 8 tonight because the first set was so light" Break down : I won't do the requested 10 reps + ignorant girly whine Belief : I'm not strong enough to do 10. I only did 8 reps but, they weren't real reps. I'm not really strong enough to do 8 reps, I'm just a little girl and little girls aren't strong he he he..... Response from Coach (russian accent) ; " Enough whiney little girl man. You did 8 reps. Next you do 10 " B) Girly Whine "I also have never ever had a break that long and come back stronger, I always come back weaker on that very first session back at it." Break Down : I won't take the prescribed days of rest between workouts + ignorant girly whine Belief : I believe I get weeker easily and that is my natural state becasue I revert back to my true little girl weakness. But, also becasue I am afraid not to have an excuse to avoid doing nasty stinky man training. Response from Coach ; You do this workout properly with no excuses , you will think like strong man.Believe like strong man. You will set time and date to hit target. You will turn up on time. You will lift . The responses are normal. But, without a push lessons are hard to learn. Happy to endure a little more torture and get stronger ? Whiner or winner. We are a mixture of both. Just adjust the ratios to gain more of what you do or don't want in life.

Pullups work big muscles more . Thats stage 1 bench "girly whiner " you are doing. Hate myself is later stage. After you realise you ARE a girly whiner

Thorasic spine mobility v important. This wisdom makes for bullet proof lifts

Just pick up heavy weights. One arm rows & deads overhand grip

I try for 30 pullups later tonight....

Palms facing each other is more neutral but will again not be the same as overhand grip. Going wide grip it would still work the angles will change at the shoulder though. I think you could do more of those than traditional overhand grip.

You mean become excellent at. Ha ha..

Pressing movements can be bench ohp etc. Skull crushers. Pullups can be hard. Thats why they are good. Slightly wider than shoulder width is fine to start. 5 is good. Many people cant do even 1. Do them as per the challenge. See if you can improve. Remember this is a pullup thread. Not a chinup thread

Chins are the weak persons pullup. You can do plenty sporting girly arms. Dan. Most of your arm is tricep. Press is the king of the arm movements for building mass.

Technically yes. Actually you are not really working on the warm up , don't usually count that.

First set warmup 60kg or less (doesn't matter if it's super light). It's a dynamic stretch. Do 10-12 reps tops. You will get 2x8.

don't understand. So you have an actual goal? What exactly is it?

Beer is a good PWO. So are vodka shots.

the best 2 of the 3 aint bad.

Great work ! You should be very proud. You must sometimes try to break things off that start to control you. You are proving that you don't need excersise to be who you are.
