This is what I call selective comprehension. I clearly said that anyone wanting to get into lifting should find a program that fits their needs which is much better advice than “do compounds” or “do isolations”.

Tell me how to bench without triceps or pullup without biceps. Sure you should add extra work for these if your concern is to grow them specifically, but it would be foolish to spend more time on isolations than compounds. Especially for beginners who have no base. People should not be walking into a gym day one and sitting on a bicep machine hoping to get huge. It's like trying to ice a cake before you've baked it.

Basically as your income increases, so do your expenses. As you get more salary; you also eat out at, buy a more expensive car, a bigger house, more expensive drinks, more expensive restaurants, etc...

People generally do need to develop better control than I regularly see demonstrated in commercial gyms, but trying to lift in slow motion has no inherent benefits. It's essentially just an awkward and inconsistent way to add intensity, when you could just do more reps or sets or weight or less rest etc.

You build muscle with progressive overload and calories. Details like lifting slower or faster aren't worth considering too much. Both are recommended in certain situations, but not so much for the purpose of muscle gain. You might like to do squats with a 5 second eccentric as someone who has poor control in the squat. But that's for technique improvement, not gaining any more muscle. Conversely you might try to squat as fast as possible for athletic purposes, even going so far as to measure barbell velocity which can inform capabilities in other exercises and sport specific movement. And they're not really missing out on much muscle gain, especially if they continue on with more muscle intensive exercises after their power focused movements.

That's actually some solid advice. The best about it, you can do all this at home without the need of a gym subscription. Also since you're using weights or your body, you don't isolate your muscles but also work out the surrounding muscles for stability. This vastly reduces risk of damaging your joints and reduces risk of a body unbalance.

Personally I'd add crunches and my favorite, the Superman, to strengthen back and abs. Sometimes I add dumbbells on the side and lift them half way of a jumping jack for the deltoids. Also imple shrugs works as well.

Do archery. Free back training.

I’ve recently started doing this and it really makes you think haha 😂 I’m a cheapie

Yeah you can always split the cardio, that part doesn't actually matter too much the important thing is you aren't neglecting it however you're getting it in. I find it easier to program cardio at the end of the workout but it's probably more optimal for a different day

You don't need to do any dumb influencer exercise, but yoh should stil focus some muscle groups separately. Biceps, triceps, side and rear delts, hamstrings, glutes, and quads.

The money is always going to exist in someone’s account. So on a societal level we can’t avoid inflation by investments

If this had been advice for building strength or cramming a better workout into a short amount of time it’d be spot on, but they specifically said it was a life pro tip for “sculpting muscle,” which it is not. The reason all those isolation exercises that OP is suggesting you ignore exist in the first place is because they allow you to target specific muscle groups for hypertrophy, i.e. sculpting your muscles.

What's the use of the cardio at the end? I thought most people split their weight and cardio days?

Keep in mind that consistency is key, and that the best workout is the one that you do consistently. My workout schedule isn't optimised, but I enjoy it, I'm at the gym every second day, and in decent shape.

Lol not true.

Messed up my lower back in June since I wanted to give DLs another shot. Never again.

What’s “bro bodybuilder BS”?

It's a good financial habit, but it's also a terribly depressing paradigm.

And even those last 3 aren't supercritical. You can get by with the first 4, definitely as a beginner.

Which governments give you credit and debit cards? Don’t banks do that?

Yea, I'd have to agree. In terms of just pure muscular development isolation is most optimal.

1. fix your diet
2. lift weights, focus on progressive overload
3. make gains

What, you don't spend your free time digging ditches and hauling bales of hay?

But lose out on hitting all the other muscles. Thats the whole point here. The reality is most people don't need to target specific muscles because most people aren't bodybuilding or working with really heavy weights, they don't need to impress the judges with their massive lats and they aren't going to end up with major imbalances.

Most people just need to work out their whole body a couple of times a week without spending 5 hours in the gym, which compound exercises are great for.
