Add a ball n destroy ur back all in 1 exercise
I’m not sure I understand your comment, what do you mean?
Few things work better than truly having confidence going into your lift! It's a powerlifting superpower!
So true, dude. In the gym and life!
Most views yet! And your followers are up. Awesome! I really appreciate your content. Keep going!
@@Dadland.Community Thanks, friend! I’m floored that people are watching this, it’s been great. Let’s hope the algorithm keeps blessing me haha
@@CoachAjBuck Men these days feel weak, confused, and don’t know where to turn for support. Your message is strong and concise. I am not surprised! I think it should do continue to grow.
@ Too true. I think tomorrow’s video is my best yet, so hopefully it will resonate with you.
can you review phase 2
@@Critterfurr For sure, I’ll add it to the list
Happy to be one of your early followers. Can’t wait to watch this channel explode brother! 🙌
@@Dadland.Community Thank you, that’s so kind of you!
I have been training for 25 plus years and I know with out doubt he is right on the money.
Thank you, sir!
Great info, Ive been training for decades, in different ways before I was in the Army and it was all about as hard as possible. But now in retirement and 40s, I couldn't train like that no more but Im bigger now than ever before. But youth 🥵🥵🥵😩😩😩
Youth is wasted on the young haha. But glad you’re still making gains, that’s awesome.
I was a harder gainer. i was super weak and would not gain muscle no matter how hard or how long I trained. my buddies who i trained with and did the exact same thing, got super big super fast. I then made the mistake of taking testosterone to catch up. It worked, it gave me muscle mass, and all my hard work finally paid off. but then my prostate grew and grew and grew....now I can only hold 10 drops of urine before having to run to the restroom.
@@metalsteel5631 Sorry to hear that. I’d strongly recommend you see a licensed medical professional, likely a urologist and/or endocrinologist
@@CoachAjBuck i did, they told me that if i stayed off the sugar, it would shrink. it never did, and i never even had high blood sugar. they didn't know what they were talking about.
@ Yeah, that sucks man, I’m sorry. Blood glucose can be associated with prostate growth, but that doesn’t sound like the issue here. Likely a combination of your testosterone, estrogen, and DHT levels. Are you still using the test?
@@CoachAjBuck i've quit since i've had prostate problems. after research, i discovered that using test causes prostate growth. i wish someone told me that sooner.
How much u took for how long and what were you levels on it and before?
Interesting interpolation of psychological genetic factors and phenotype. I think this is an observable truism, as hormones regulate much of the male psyche, which in turn is expressed via our physiological make-up. All highly intercorrelated/causal. High test/high androgenic men are typical more intense and this is expressed in their androgen receptor sensitivity and it's expression, obviously it's more complicated than this (cortisol, estrogen variables, growth hormone factors, etc. etc.) but each person is a unique petri dish of hormonal chemistry. Similar in our basic structures diverse enough to express different degrees/forms of masculinity.
@@josephl6289 Thanks so much for the thoughtful, detailed comment. I agree-I think hormones play a decisive role AND that it’s multifactorial. I think the bio/psycho/social model likely explains preferences and that we should, to the extent possible, seek to align factors we can control (ie environment, habits, etc) with those we cannot (ie genetics, with the caveat that pharmacology is indeed a thing)
@@CoachAjBuck all holistic. I agree. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Well said. I look forward to future videos.
This was great. Can't wait for more content!
@@BennyParcher Glad to hear it!
Absolutely love this! Broderick is a well of knowledge!
He's the man, he's done and seen everything!

Almost missed this one.

Always useful information to have when navigating the hellscape known as dieting and nutrition!

He's back. Discipline is hard. I definitely struggle with it.
