Alpha destiny sucks

his program actually gives you gains though

also a lot of the shit he does is similar to Bugenhagen's, which /fit/ loves. It's fine to hate manletdestiny because he's 3'2 but let's be honest here.

That's not why you hate anyone, you hate him becuase his program gives an illusion of strength.

Doing normal squats, Doing a normal bench etc would all build more athletism and actual strength. His programs are all based on illusion of being big and strong.

Just because you floor press 200 and can only bench 170 doesn't mean you're weaker if you did the bench. you're probably stronger.


bench builds floor press better than floor press does.

this insecure manlet made a video because some dyel laughed at him in the gym
think about that for a second

>>41786024
>Why do you think deadlifts are done usually 1x5 one time a week?
you were doing so well up until here

>>41786024
>Why do you think deadlifts are done usually 1x5 one time a week? This is even worse than deadlifting like 5 times a week.

?

>>41786248
Sorry bro that you disagree, but can you explain?

Most natties do 1x5 once a week, i could not handle doing heavy squats and deads 2 times a week, so i do squats 2-3 times a week, and deads once and it goes up just as quick.

i think squats are accessory enough for deads w/o the loading that makes it hard to recover from.


maybe my recovery just sucks? I may be bias, but i am confident that many stick to 1x5 1 time a week on deadlifts.

Axial loading on deadlifts is the reason they're hard to recover from, and prescribed by strength coaches to be done with not much frequency, just high intensity.

Rack pulls are extreme with the loading.

>>41786160

The problem with his form advice (and his advice in general) is that it is mainly for intermediate to advanced lifters.

You shouldn't even start Naturally Enhanced as a novice but he doesn't really mention that much because money.

His advice still good tho.

>>41786269
Maybe if you're a novice that is sufficient. If you want to do any sort of powerlifting programming, that is not at all sufficient volume.

>>41786269
From this comment I can see your knowledge is very little regarding programing
>Hurr Durr natties only deadlift once a week 1x5
Bro you're probably a novice who read starting strength and thinks he knows something with your sub 3pl8 deadlift

>>41786376


my deadlift is 375
Squat is 250
Bench is 196
row 225
Overhead press 140


Deadlift is going up 5lbs biweekly.


Squats build my lower back enough and rows do too to build my deadlift, i don't need to deadlift twice a week. i've done it before, i seen no point and had to deload way more often because i was nearing overtraining.


I've been lifting for a year about, fucked around and made no gains for the first few months though. Bench is weak becuase i was floor pressing for many months.

>>41786413
btw these are my worksets, 1x5 dead 3x5 for the rest.


idk my true 1 rep maxes, i don't do that shit. what ever a calculator would tell me but i don't know if i can actually hit those numbers or not.

>>41786413
why are you trying to make these claims when you're weak?

>>41786434
I'm stronger than you I guarantee. It doesn't matter if i was weak, or if i am strong though. Since an appeal to authority argument doesn't mean shit, kid.

Does this mean kali muscle knows more than everyone on this board? Does it mean alpha destiny knows nothing, becuase he's small?
Does it mean scott herman knows more than you about overhead pressing?

you're a fucking idiot, kid.

>>41786454
>kid
no that other guy but kys

>>41786456
"kys" that little leafy fanboy bluffing on the internet, you're fucking huge m8.

This is why i don't use these garbage boards though, the only place you can discuss shit without little virgins acting like they're tough is real life.

You're small and pathetic as shit kid, you know you'd get fucked if you spewed your bullshit in real life in that small 110lb frame you own.

>>41786413
Those are still novice stats, do you know that? Wait untill you hit 4plates on the deadlift and your rows and 1x5 won't help, you will need more variation and different progression methods.

>>41786454
>i'm stronger than you i guarantee
kek, not even close
>kid
why do people like you always resort to saying this?

I'm saying you don't know shit. People who are strong usually know more than weak people. Just because you've read and forgotten those lifting articles and watch those bullshit youtube videos doesn't mean you know shit. There's a lot of weak people like you who make all sorts of claims because their favorite youtube star said so

>>41786483
consider suicide manlet

>>41786488
Yes, i'm about to switch to a new program since most of my illustratory gains (recently) are mostly coming from deloads, so a fresh nervous system.

i can 1 rep above 4 plates probably.

Once i hop onto a better program, after i research them enough then maybe ill end up deadlifting 2 times a week or some shit, but i know it's not going to be with the 90+% effort that i do currently, every single week.
therefore what i said still isn't really wrong about 1x5, no one does that shit at 60% of their 1rm. doing it multiple times with 85% squats 3x5, and 85% rows 3x5 have worked extremely well for me and have allowed me to recover very well.

>>41786496


"favorite youtuber star"

even though it's explicitly clear that i dislike every fitness personality?

>>41786544
yes

ITT: jealous lankets who cant get gains

So wait youre mad a mass program builds mass?

>>41786645
you mean a no rom program builds ego

it doesn't build shit

conventional lifts build mass the most effectively, destinies garbage builds egos not mass more effectively than a conventionally made program.

it's gimmicky garbage.

>>41786630
i'm 5'9, i don't think i'm a manlet or a lanklet. I posted my lifts anyway.

Why are you laughing when you have no life, are small, and are bullied?

Kid you're a self identified 4channer, i can't imagine a cringey faggot like you in my class.

I like rack pulls. Just started doing them (strapless) noticed some forearm and trap gains already.

After pulling 555 and holding it, my max deadlifts don't seem so heavy (435 currently). Holding 3pl8 after doing 555lb rack pulls feels like feathers. I hold 3pl8 as long as I can for my last set.

>>41786828
You deduced all that from "HAHAHAHA?" You're a lot smarter than I thought. Wow!

call him a manlet one more time and this will happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwryl0tKN8M

>>41786903
Hey bro, i'm not against rack pulls, i'm against alpha destiny style rack pulls.

435 and rack pulling 555 sounds good. Destiny does something like
Pulling 435 and rack pulling 1200. it's absolutely retarded, it only is for working his traps which can be done with shrugs just as effectively.


normal rack pulls are GOOD.

>>41786339

He does.

>>41786214

Doing powerlifting movements while never ever competing lmfao.

What if I told you that trap bar deadlift, weighted dips and hack squat/deadlift are far more better than your fatliffting shit.

>>41786024
His beginner program is legitimately GOAT.

>>41786286
I'd say Jeff Cavaliere is at least respectable.

>>41787074
The big three aren't popular because of powerlifting. They are prominent because they're really good exercises, so they decided to make a meme sport out of it.

>powerlifting movement
does not fucking exist

>>41786024
I agree that he's a huge (lol) faggot, but more so because of his PUA mentality and self-absorbed bullshit, his programming is actually not that bad. Novice program is acceptable, NE is good if you're able to haul some serious weight and your main goal is muh aesthetics, even his "look like x celebrity by doing y" shit on his website has some merits, as it covers most of the bases for getting somewhat fit, albeit nowhere near the guys he uses as examples but who honestly believes this anyway.

tl;dr yes he's a cunt and should be tortured publicly, but no, not for the reasons you listed

I don't have a trap bar or anything, these are all weights i got for free from rogue, bumpers, their ohio bar, and a rack.

But i would continue doing everything i do, i'd just probably do more trap bar deadlifts if i ended up liking them.

>>41787175

Dude i wont argue with you, just by the way of you typing I know you are from reddit.

Just leave and never come back. Stop trying to fit in with these "le manlet memes".

Its not funny nigger.

>>41787168

>tldr

Leave

>>41787168
I don't dislike him for his beginner program, although it's not optimal and gimmicky, it still will build a decent amount of strength (less athletic than just full rom conventional, but not too extreme)

I have an issue with his excessive band use that isnt actually beneficial, and his garbage rackpulls. those are my main issues.

>>41787207
Reddit is for faggots, 4chan is aswell. Why do you think i'd be from reddit? All circle jerks are dishonest and retarded, i only will shit post once in a while if it has a chance of benefitting me, i want more people to dislike alpha destiny. he's garbage in every aspect that i can think of.
you have the wrong person thoguh with the manlet meme shit, i never mentioned that garbage and don't really give a fuck unless it has an impact on their mentality.

trap bar deadlift is mechanically identical to a quarter-squat, nothing more than egolifting crap.

>>41787452
>t. sub 5pl8 deadlifter

Are you sure I'm the dumb one?

Doing a Dietmar PL program with pull variation 4 times a week, be it deficit snatch grip, or normal pulls, increased my deadlift from 220 to 240 in 8 weeks.

Just because you have >"abs" when hunching over and coughing, and able to bench 80kg doesn't mean you know shit.

Now get off this board you dumb fucking DYEL

>>41787476
are you autistic kid somethings wrong with you LOL

>>41787074
>powerlifting movements
went full retard there

>>41787465
Blaha's advice is terrible, and even if it wasn't, you can't take him seriously because he has no accomplishments or redeeming qualities about his physique or strength at all. Besides, if he is willing to lie about doing snatch and grabs in the CIA, he is definitely willing to make up bullshit to peddle on youtube.

>keep your palms parallel to your body when you bench
>don't warm up, ever
>seriously, don't warm up, because blaha pulls 500 without a warmup
>says knee wraps are bad based on a study of ten people, the max squat out of all of them being less than 400
>has used wraps before
He contradicts himself every other day and the only reason his """advice""" is good because he googles it, and takes every stance possible, so you have to agree with him on at least something eventually

>didn't own blaha
the motherfucker was clearly crying

can someone post one of his videos so I can laff pls

>>41786024
Hi Hemingway

>>41787513

I think his ideas on warming up are correct, you don't need 3000 hours of "warming up" when it's just going to prime your muscles to lift heavier weights.

Max aita says the same shit.

People are gonna call me a sock account or a nut-hugger but whatever, I'll defend him .He addressed the height thing on a live stream. He said that he misread the tape (he was actually 5'6.5) so he deleted the video.

I'm not sure why people make such a big deal about that. Most people outside of /fit/ and the misc don't obsess over height and measure themselves constantly. I haven't measured my height since my junior year of high school and don't know my exact height. I just estimate by comparing myself to my friends. Is it really that had gone a while without measuring himself and didn't know exactly how tall he was?

Also, his novice program doesn't make you exclusively floor press. He also includes full ROM close grip bench press.

As for his strength, he's pretty strong at conventional lifts. He has a 225 lb overhead press (stretch reflex but no leg drive) and like a 185 weighted pull up. I think he also has a 225 weighted dip.

>>41788075
Woops, that's a pretty bad typo. Meant to type:

>is it really that hard to believe that someone had gone a while without measuring himself and didn't know exactly how tall he was?

>>41786024
Deadlifts are done 1x5 in beginner programs. Plenty of intermediate and advanced programs include higher frequency and higher volume deadlifting.

>>41787465
Blaha is complete shit

Does anyone know how strong this guy actually is? No meme lifts, no accommodating resistance, how much can he bench, squat, and deadlift?

>>41786248
>1x5 deadlift per week
>>41786024
OP how does it feel to be a meme?

>>41788400
He doesn't train the power lifts because that's not his goal but he as a 225 lb overhead press, 225 weighted dip, 145 weight pull up, and a 515x10 trap bar deadlift.

What is his goal?

>>41788491
get mad lanklet that you have to use roids and take years off your life for what i can achieve natty in the same time LOL

>>41788495
Hypertrophy and strength in the lifts he enjoys doing. His Naturally Enhanced philosphy is all about developing size in the areas he believes contribute to the bear mode physique. Namely, neck, traps, upper back, shoulders, forearms, and glutes.

>>41788494
My pet belief is that people that still defend blaha are liars like he is, so they don't think it's a big deal.

Anyone know what his connective tissue work is like? He's mentioned it a few times but I don't think he's ever made a video about it.

>>41788976
The connective tissue work is basically doing band curls and band push downs extremely fast for 50+ reps. what i wanna know is if it actually works.

Every criticism of him is a meme

>He's short
And? What does that have to do with anything?
>His beard is shitty/ from minox
And? Minox is shilled in every balding thread but now it's bad because someone you don't like is doing it?
>His voice is annoying
And? What does that have to do with anything?
>His personality sucks
And? are you watching to make friends with him or get information?
>He doesn't do traditional movements
1) almost all of the lifts he does are decades old
2) he's not a powerlifter so why does he NEED to do conventional bench/squat/dead?

Explain to me how any of these are not a complete meme
