Good exercise I guess, but the setup sucks and I can barely breathe after.
Swapped them for reverse lunges and my quads are growing fine.
Starting to think Bulgarians are mostly popular because misery makes people feel productive

Natural BodybuildingI see guys turn full ROM bicep curls into standing hip thrusts when going for a max, then celebrate a PR. Same deal with half rep leg presses and rows that become lower back swings. I've started tracking load AND rep quality. If the last rep looks nothing like the first, I don't add weight next week. Ego hates it. Muscles like it.42
Natural BodybuildingWhey is easy but that's like 1 or 2 times per day. Chicken and eggs get old. Need something I can actually stick with that isn't expensive84

Natural BodybuildingI used to take 1 minute breaks cause I felt lazy scrolling my phone. But my weight would drop drastically between sets. Recently started taking 2.5 minutes on big lifts and 2 on isolations. Feel like I'm making progress agan. Do you guys time rests or just wait until you feel ready?12
Natural BodybuildingGuys swap exercises every two weeks because some influencer found a new "science based" cable angle. Pick movements that feel good, log them, and beat the numbers for six months. Your muscles aren't bored. You're bored.12
Natural BodybuildingSome dudes spend 30 minutes warming up with bands, mobility drills and six warmup sets before getting to a working weight. You fags need to just get right to it.33
Creatine apparently works even if you don't

Natural BodybuildingI'm hitting glutes 3x a week and ending up around 20 hard sets total. Mostly hip thrusts, RDLs, split squats and abductions. Strength was moving up for a while but now Im just permanently sore and my last few sets feel kinda pointless. Sleep and protein are fine. Would you cut sets first or just drop the third day entirely? Curious where everyone elses sweet spot is for actually growing55
They’re my go to. Easy on my back since it’s half the weight of a full squat

Yeah if squats pissed off my back I'd give those a shot

Reverse lunges are way easier don't need five minutes of psyching yourself up 😂😂

Anything over 8 reps on bulgarians turns into cardio

Dont do them, they’re dangerous. I’m always wobbling on them trying to keep my balance.

Millions of people do them with no problem. Learn to balance and don't overdo the weight, jesus

You mean like you were injected with fentanyl and cops tried to save you?
