Loving the new RP app

[anabolic_geek]

Hey fam! If you haven’t seen yet, Dr. Mike came out with his big RP Hypertrophy app. Really excited to train with this.

Provides a nice framework to guarantee progress by monitoring lifter feedback, reps performed and reported RIR.

Here’s a recap of todays workout. These values were all chosen by the app except for some added sets. Also, don’t laugh at the deadlift. I am doing them super slow and with glute/back stabilization emphasis. Im working on my form — don’t @ me

I had a dream that I got put through leg day at dragons lair with them.

Curious…any particular reason you’re deadlifting? I was under the impression that you’re straight up hypertrophy/BBing.

Not sweating you, just curious.

@Poppy Deadlifts are a great exercise for hypertrophy, just most lifters do it powerlifting style where they rip-and-drop. I don’t do that and neither should you if you’re looking for hypertrophy or longevity. Here’s Dr. Mike giving a demo:



I do rip, of course, but I lower extremely slowly to emphasize glute and hamstring involvement. I also want to improve my upper back and abdominal mobility, as my hip hinge movements tend to be difficult due to a stiff mid section that doesn’t want to brace properly.

You can see in this video that she has absolutely insane mobility and maintains perfect upper back and abdominal bracing throughout the movement.
