I would suggest to continue experimenting with dips, especially with a more straight up posture which targets more triceps vs a leaning forward posture which targets more chest.

You can progressive overload forever by adding weight = weighted dips.

As a bonus, they are a great all-around upper body compound exercise.

I see Alexa is on the LG TV, and there’s a way to turn it off in settings, but is it actually truly off when you do this (do u know)? lmao

Innovation was only ever a small part. Rent-seeking is more fundamental to capitalism than “innovation” is. It’s just more brazen than we remember from our childhoods.

I’d recommend just trying for 0-1 RIR, it’s what I do on lateral raises (and most lifts) and I’d recommend it, if not for all lifts then at least for the ones where you don’t run much risk of injuring yourself near failure. With lateral raise, failure looks like you just can’t lift the dumbells or cables very far anymore, and you just put your arms back down. Shouldn’t be much of a problem where injury is concerned. It’s not like OHP or bench press 0-1 RIR which could be more risky.

Side delts are worth strengthening for anyone IMO. It’s definitely a separate goal than weight loss, in fact bodybuilding style lifting / isolation lifts have nearly nothing to do with weight loss per se.

Yeah, that is exactly what I’ve thought of Yanis V’s “critique” as well. Well said

It’s a kind of rebrand of Marxism that is missing out on some important points, even the defining elements of capitalism which are still in place. Like, he is saying capitalism is not capitalism anymore? His idea is that capitalism has been “killed” which is disingenuous at best (if he’s just using it as hyperbole) and completely wrong at worst, since we are indeed still broadly in the thick of it. It does seem sorta like he just wanted to sell a book or hear himself talk etc.
