How satisfying on a primal level do you find becoming physically stronger is? I've never been able to put it into words very eloquently. I'd like your thoughts on this.

[adambombdon]

Bro. Your content is Gold. I too understand the obsessed mindset.

[davetaitt]

One can literally have a PhD level of knowledge through the thousands of hours of continued digestion of content on the internet. I'm crazy too.

[joshwilliams]

Hey Alex - when performing dips (both weighted and unweighted), do you recommend keeping the scapula in a retracted or neutral position in order to maximise safety?

[marcusob]

Hey Alex, do you have any hobbies or interests outside of fitness? Big fan keep up the great content

[AlexLeonidas]

Great questions, let's see more down below!
0:05 Hey Alex where did you learn all your knowledge from in regards to training and diet etc/ fitness in general? Any books you'd recommend along with your videos?
7:25 Hey Alex, I tend to feel my biceps more than my back while doing inverted rows, do you recommend any specific grip or technique for that matter, thank you your content is amazing!
8:16 Hello Alex! Which exercise would you recommend for increasing the explosiveness in the weighted pull up? Thank you and keep this awesomeness going bro!
9:44 Hey Alex I was wondering whether chest flys with resistance can help grow the chest, alongside bench press, incline press etc
11:04 Thoughts on upright row? Never done them myself, but sounds interesting on paper, a compound movement that involves the lateral deltoid.
12:14 Should i buy chains for more ME variations even though it wont hit my weaknesses, just for more variety?
13:39 Been lifting for 25 years with in my opinion a little above average. I have watched your content for over a year and it has always interested me. Over the years I have boxs of note books recording every lift. My question is with a the changing of exercises every workout how do you keep up with tracking all the different variations? Keep up the great work.
16:51 Hey Alex what’s the best middle and lower traps exercise?
17:49 Smolov JR for ohp?
18:48 Hello Alex. Is there any way to train with conjugate if my gym only has barbells, racks and dumbells? So no chains, special bars or even hooks on rack for bands.
20:08 hey Alex! What are your thoughts concerning strand pulling, chest expanders that were used by Sandow and old school bodybuilders/strongman
22:00 Hello Alex, how long would it take to get a 100kg weighted pullup?

[tvhead]

Thoughts on overcoming and yielding isometrics? I personally love them!

[Keless]

I feel you brother when you talk about that obsession thing. When you are obsessed about a subject you become an expert without even feeling that the journey was hard work, it's just was kind of a passion that you "feed" in a good way. It could be about anything, computer science, developping a new skill, wanting to learn about which best product to choose..

[Tobi-obwj]

Bro, i just wanna take the time and thank you for your content.
You and more plates more dates are one of the best fitness/Bodybuilding/lifting youtubers in my opinion.
Hope you two come in contact some time

Hi Alex, a few weeks ago I started adding weight to the regular dip, I felt some pain in the left elbow thinking it was caused by the wider (than normal) setup. Before that I was training ring dips only with light weights and had no issues. The pain now occurs when I lockout on dips and push ups only. I never skip a warm up but that didn't help with my issue. Another thing I need to mention is that I have hypermobile elbows. I will greatly appreciate if you can give me some feedback on this. Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

[FasterTheDragster]

Spot out about the dumbbell flys, Peck Deck all the way!

[kamranhussain]

What are you're thoughts on spreading a workout throughout the day? But because of the increased rest you may be able to increase frequency? (In a Calisthenics setting as it's more applicable I feel to most people)

[blabafateso]

225 bench I've heard from multiple people (including yourself) that it's a good standard for transitioning from novice to intermediate. Since genetics are a factor, what's instead a good RANGE. I know that once you stop making linear gains that's a sign, but sometimes there are a lot of other factors that can affect that right? Sleep nutrition etc, hard to know when increasing calories isn't the answer anymore.

[johnhunt]

Are sudo planche push ups a better exercise for the front delts than handstand work? I have enough dumbbells to do lateral raises so I can train the lateral head no problem.

[michaelnavarro]

Hey Alex, could you talk about the importance of stretching?...or lack there of? Currently running your novice program and wondering if I should be stretching after every single workout. Also what does optimal stretching look like? I don’t think stretching is really talked about all that much in the fitness community and was just wondering how important it is.

[aceplayys]

To add the first question that's what happens when you find your purpose/true passion, you dedicate yourself fully and time flies, as opposed to doing something you hate and stopping because you went in there for the wrong reasons.

[correalifts]

The close grip bench in the Novice program needs to be pause?

[MiguelAngel-wrth]

Hey Alex which do you consider to be more impressive your max weighted pull up or your max deadlift or would you consider both of them to be equally as impressive?
