Partials dont wo-

Bands and chains are fine for physique goals (and most strength goals if you're not a raw powerlifter).

Alex just has some deeply stupid ideas on how you're supposed to use them.

>additional volume work without too much strain on recovery, overload, and increasing specific parts of the movement
how are any of these stupid?

He's like fucking 5'4 and roiding. He could be fucking moving a shovel all day and he'd put on muscle no problem.

Fucking based!

+ He needs the Internetgold to get a haircut on his little childhead

>before
>h-he's not impressive at all , why are people listening to him!?
>now
>h-he's on roids, why are people listening to him!?
lmoae

Why doesn't he slick his hair back? He looks homeless.

It'd help if he didn't insist on using them for movements where it fails to overload anything because the strength curve is already top heavy.

Also adding bands to a regular lift is not a way to do things with low recovery. The added eccentric stress tends to kick the shit out of people.

hes 5ft7

you are absolute C O P E

>It'd help if he didn't insist on using them for movements where it fails to overload anything because the strength curve is already top heavy.
like what? ive seen him do rack pulls, bench, and ohp with bands, the latter two of which i use myself with great success. we do roughly the same band cycle, i start with 2 monster minis and reduce band tension workout-to-workout, eventually usually getting a rep PR on3-4th week.

im talking about fluff work like band pullaparts and pushdowns

>bands and chains are for geared li-
bands have less transfer to raw lifting. they work so well for multi ply equipped lifting because they receive a tremendous amount of support from their squat suits and bench shirts at the bottom of the lift. but they still have weights significantly above their raw maxes and at the end of the lift they are supporting it. So in that particular instance, it makes more sense to train with less straight weight on the bar and have the band tension overload on the top part of the lift where the equipped lifter must handle much more of the load on their own.

In the case of chains, they do have a very real value for raw and equipped lifters. For the equipped lifters, the value is fundamentally the same as multiply equipped lifters, only they don't have the same amount of support for their equipment and the weights they are handling, while certainly above their raw maxes, are not as inflated.
But for raw lifters, a smaller amount of adaptive resistance makes sense, and chains accomplish that perfectly. It makes sense to train the body to have to push harder against the weight that it is bearing as this will translate to improved ability to push against the weight in the typical sticking points for raw lifters. They simply don't need as much adaptive resistance as either single or multi ply equipped lifters.

He's 5'5

when you grow your hair its daunting to buzz it because youd have to wait months to reverse it even if you know itd look better

It may have been dropped from later programs but he used to spend a shit-ton of time talking up rows and push presses with bands. Those have some specialised uses but they're terrible as general recommendations. Personally I don't like banded rack pulls (actually I don't generally like accommodating resistance on very short movements for the most part - it's very hard to get the loading right) but that depends a lot on rack height and form.

The fluff stuff is indeed a good use of bands. Arguably non-band accommodating resistance (so chains, reverse bands to an extent, weight releasers if you have them) is good for lowering stress because you can bring down the overall number of sets for the same effect. It's just regular band tension that tends to cause issues.

no hes 5.5 ft, which is 5ft7

Sickening forearms

5'7 isnt any better than 5'5 you fucking dwarf

Sure listen to some contrarian manlet, instead of doing actual, proven, scientifically sound stuff.

NEVER gonna make it!

Also - you can never know if he actually does what he preaches, it's like doing bro-split, because some big bodybuilder said it works.... Fucking braincels.

lanklet copelet genocide when?

Mogging :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Sure, whatever helps you to cope, little man.

Never, because you manlets will never ever learn.

why are lanklets always so angry at other people making gains?

poor lanklets

not even angry, was just stating facts

you mad brah

im angry at people trying to claim 5'7 isnt dwarfism. you can be the biggest, strongest dwarf in the world if you want, fine by me. but dont go around comparing yourself to humans.

>so butthurt he actually opened ms pain and spend probably over 3 minutes making this
lamoe

Redskinned snownigger lmao

>manlet
>chad

biggest oxymoron

Why do people use this meme wrong?

im not a manlet so its a bit different for me

Stop bullying manlets user, this aint cool. Didn't your parents told you not to bully less fortunate kids?

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Look at dem triggered manlets. Hilarious.

you have to understand the mindset of a lanklet. they dont understand the concept of personal achievement, theyve been memed into believing their frail lanky posture somehow makes them superior by a mongolian tapestry exchange forum and thus are content never accomplishing anything on their own. combined with reduced bloodflow resulting in a limited brain oxidation, their obvious inferior intelligence brings forth horrendous posts.

You do realize that "virgin" in this image is mogging "chad" hard?

imagine being this delusional

Holy fucking shit! Is this official manlet triggering thread? Just state someones height and all Jow Forums manlets run from their caves reeeee'ing about lanklets.

:DDDDDDDDDDDD COPE

Well technically shortness is correlated with lower intelligence, reproduction and income....

Imagine how pathetic and petty someone needs to be to make an image like this trying to denigrate a superior male. Keep coping, you jealous, lanky, bastard.

>a foot shorter
>weighs less than me when I was skelly
OK

Another angry manlet. Why are you always angry little men?

What's wrong with his hair?

imagine being so self-unaware that you don't realise its the lanklets being triggered lmaoooo

He didn’t saying about buzzing you absolute inbred.

And he still has more muscle than you've ever put on in your life. He will always look bigger than you regardless, toothpick lanklet.

This is the most pathetic self promotion I've seen since Supermong.

I'm 192cm, and you're right about some tall people. they might get smug about it. but I don't. I realise it's just a random genetic trait that makes me look somewhat prettier. that's all there is to it. it just makes my life 1% easier.

>Height mogged
>Frame mogged
>Hair mogged
>Pose mogged

Yeah, nice """"""mogging"""""" little fella

You spergs don't anger me. You're cowards, you wouldn't say any of the shit you said on here to Alpha face-to-face because you would get your fucking head caved in.

the triggered lanklets are out in full force today

>but muh height

mogged

No tall person gets smug about their tallness. It's just that if you point out that shorter men tend to have easier time looking muscular, but that kinda cancels out because taller people look bigger next to them, suddenly everyone is reeeee'ing about lanklets....

Seriously guys, stop being soo insecure, it doesn't really matter that you are short.

HAHAHAHHAHHAHAA just saw a few minutes of his toronto video taken from his POV. He's literally just about reaching to normal peoples chest, if at all.

Face mogged, too, really. Imagine being so ugly a spic looks better than you.

Maybe he paid someone to promote his stuff on Jow Forums? Or he just posts himself? Something about these alex worshiping posts just seem un-natural........

This is not intimidating, because I would be looking down on him, not from this angle.

he actually is 5'7 check his photo next to other youtuber which IS actually 5'5
btfo

I would just kick him, desu. He couldn't touch me because of my arm reach....

>5'7 is somehow not tiny manlet mode

I think it's mostly him samefagging and one or two trolls picking up on it and running with it.
The whole unnatural vibe of the worshiping posts is exactly what gave Mong away.

Here's hoping Alex picks an argument with an actual lifting trip, or at the very least has a sister worth fapping to, too.

Alex threads became so fucking common on Jow Forums these last few months that I am starting to suspect its just Alex himself samefagging with a paid VPN all day. For a youtuber like him any attention will generate more money. He knows Jow Forums has a thing for manlets so this is the perfect place to spam.

>List four things
>Fixate on only one of them
your insecurities are showing :)

Alex manages to be 5'5" and MOGG the fuck outta everyone

Has Alex taken any pics next to men of normal height?

lanklets who work out like mad barely look like they lift

here you go

Speaking of Supermang, anyone got that pic of his sister?

and yet here's a 6'2" guy with 15 years of training who's stronger than Alan Thrall

Attached: 15 years.jpg (1280x960, 222K)

He's not 5'10 (which would BARELY make him a man of normal height) and you know it. Don't bother posting """""""""sources""""""""", he's lying

Alex stop posting here.... you think you are some sort of marketing wizard, but you really aren't. Not gonna boost your ebook sales by shitposting here, and if you don't stop, i will leak your little ebook on Jow Forums

>Look, the same or similar amount of mass distributed over a shorter arm looks bigger in diameter
wow

>5'10" is average male height in western white countries
>it's not the bare minimum to be a normal man

so... above average is normal now?

and he claims 5'10", prove he's lying

It is just about the bare minimum is what I'm saying, yes, and your own picture is already proof enough. Also, you're being pedantic when it comes to height and yet you use 5'5" for Alex' height, instead of the 5'7" he now claims?

>he unleashes his famous grip strength on your ballsack
What do?

>who's stronger than Alan Thrall
He's really not, he reverse benched 315 with dogshit form

but he never trains it!
he even said that he never even trains that lift, so his 315 variation is totally more than a 350 competition bench.

look, nobody gives a flying fuck about alex height, the point is that he's an insecure asshole without a shred of integrity who constantly lies about his height, and likes to claim that he's "the only real guy" in YT fitness.

Alan Thrall has a 320 comp bench

he claims 5'5"

what the fuck are you talking about? it seems like everybody else is lying
