@TumescentPeanus Is there any reason to train the upper body for longer sets than the lower body? It does not make sense to me.

I find that small muscles like delts don't get exhausted nearly as quickly with a given percentage of 1RM. Taking say 90% of that, I can do 4-5 squats, 3 deadlifts, and 5-6 overhead presses + a clean to get the bar up to my collar. Might have to do with the fact that I'm moving less weight in absolute terms. Might just be my lack of lower body endurance, I always had weak legs as a kid.

I started training with Rippetoe's SS program. I used to train with favhes, but have now increased the amount of repetition for the lower body after hearing Arthur Jones explaining that the lower body needs more stimulus as it was built for endurance. I train the whole body once a week for 40 minutes with main emphasis on squats.

Interesting. I do the opposite, low voyyum on my lower body movements and higher reps on my bench and OHP. I do RPE 8-9 for both but 5 reps tends to be a stretch goal for my deadlifts and a baseline for my bench press. It grew my hammies and ass by a whole lot.

For calf work I do unw8ed tempo work though so I do a ridiculous number of reps for that, yes.

@Norwegian-Mugabe I think some tattoos are very cool, but 95% of people who have tattoos shouldn't . Also, women should not have tattoos at all. They're just not made for it.

There is such a thing as a tattoo that doesn't make a woman look uglier, but there's no such thing as a tattoo that makes a woman look hotter.

As for myself, I defer to Scott Greer and his pledge. A man with 187 IQ and a 9 inch cock can't be wrong.

Pros:

1. Your intestine is right next to your rectum so you can absorb food immediately after intake instead of having to wait for it to go through the esophagus + stomach
2. A lot of vegetables taste bad and you don't have taste buds down there so you can eat all the veggies you want without it tasting bad
3. Feels kinda good

Cons:

1. You'll have to shit out your mouth
2. That's all I can think of

Did Dr. Peat ever try this out? I'm not sure how to make the switch from eating with my mouth to eating with my asshole. Do I need to fully cleanse so the food doesn't get stuck in the middle?
