Hey I have a question hopefully someone has an answer for. I don't know for sure whether to go to muscle failure or not each time. I have a friend that tells me that you shouldn't go to failure but maybe 2 reps before that. Then again I've read that on others comments on these videos that you should. I have a slight problem when I go to failure. I lift your typical 8-12 reps or however many I can do for that exercise at the time.
But the next set I wait 2 and a half minutes do it again and I'll do a lot less reps. And so forth with the next few sets that I do. (I typically do 3-5 sets per exercise. How come I get weaker everytime? Is it because I don't get enough oxygen restored in my muscles? I've had cardiovascular problems such as when I used to do P/E at a young age and would wind badly before everyone else. My sister has asthma so maybe that's what's holding me back?
Any input would be much appreciated thank you.

This is great. I really like your content and get information from you that I can't get anywhere else. I know you've done a -day in the life- video but was wondering if you could do a -week in the life- or -month in the life- just for training? Not as much detail obviously but it's just that you have shown so many variations on routines and exercises that it's hard to know how to work these in and when and how often. How do you work them in? Do you follow them all, systematically, yourself? Or do you wing it? Figure out that day what you're going to do and then do it? For example, -today I'm going to do 'sore in six' for chest, bodyweight for back, heavy for legs-, etc. Thanks.

I've never in life been able to do a pull-up but I want to. My problem is that I'm tall and have difficulty finding doorways or other places to mount a bar. I found a really strong beam in my bathroom that can hold my weight, but I need to bend a knee and use a series of bands in order to create tension. I want to be able to position my body and do a band exercise that will help me eventually be able to do a pull-up. Do you have anything that can help a beginner like me that utilizes bands or other positions that can help lead up to doing that first pull-up?

Great video brother. The change to the lunges will help me tremendously. Good timing too! I just finished Leg Day. Tonight I felt as if someone stabbed the front left of my left knee during walking barbell lunges. I certainly plan to add your suggestions during the next Leg Day. At 50, I need all the good tips and help I can get. Not claiming age as an excuse, I'm just keeping it real, and safe. Thanks for all your fantastic videos.

Hey Jeff, really appreciate your videos. I was working out pretty hard for many months and not making a lot of progress. After having watched at least 100 of your videos, I-ve started using less weight with more attention to movement and flexing at the top or bottom of the movement. Doing that as well as having enough rest between sets, and appropriate rest days, has made a huge difference in my physique. Thanks for what you do.

A lot of people seem to have issues with bicep tendon pain, but it's rarely if ever addressed anywhere.
I have an issue with my tendon moving or -popping- whenever I do hammer curls, but no issue with regular curls, not sure why. It's a really weird feeling, and it keeps so many people from working out or being able to pusb themselves.

im surprised by the bulgarian ss variation jeff mentions. usually he tries to make movements MORE ATHLETIC like he does with the other four movements in this video. I understand the possible emphasis on strength and overload only with the variation but he tends to preach balance and stability more so than just pure strength

I don't understand the lunge variation because when you do the -forward part- of the exercise looks like you bend the lower back so it could be potentially dangerous for the lower back. Obviously I'm wrong because Jeff knows more than me! hehehe So, what I am missing here?
