Shocking.

What. The. Fuck.

You're using a VPN or an IP that reddit doesn't like. Old website still works.

Such Democracy!

struggled to find a single tricep exercise that successfully targeted my tricep muscles

Just pick a few. They all target the tris whether you "feel" it or not.

If I can't do more than 6-7 good reps in clean form (with about 4-6 more in shoddy form) of the Close-Grip bench press, does this mean I need to lower the weight until I can do 12 reps in good form?

As a beginner, yea I'd say if you can't do 5-7 clean reps then lowe the weight.

does this mean I need to lower the weight until I can do 12 reps in good form?

What does your program say to do? This is completely exercise dependant as well as personal preference. 12 reps is completely arbitrary, as is 6 reps. Find what works for the lift and your body.

Or does it mean I need to stop when my form gets bad after the 7th rep and compensate by doing more volume by doing more sets? My goal is functional tricep strength and/or hypertrophy but I would slightly prefer strength by a tiny margin. (as an aside, ai says 30-45 degree elbow flare is fine apparently?)

You are waaaaaaay overthinking this. Pick a few lifts per muscle group and just go hard for 5 -10 years, adjusting a little here and there as needed. None of that small stuff matters really.

What does it mean if I can perform 25% more reps on my 2nd working set of tricep exercises than my 1st working set of the same weight?

It could mean many things. Stop overthinking it. If I had to guess though, you simply don't know how to push your body hard yet.

Maybe you didn't warm up well enough. Maybe your CNS wasn't "awake" yet. Maybe you slept bad. Maybe youre still a beginner and don't even know how to push hard on your sets. Maybe it's a new lift and you haven't learned it yet.

Who knows. It doesn't matter. Push hard on each set, focus on form and controlling the weight, progressively overload according to your plan, and you will get big and strong. These little things will sort themselves out automatically over time

hah! Nice. I'll remember that for next time! 😏

Start following Steve Shaw, Jim Wendler, even Fazlifts or Alex Leonidas. These are no-nonsense lifters with no-nonsense advice. I like Nippard as a person, I don't like his content. Israetel is just ... bad. Don't listen to him.

There would be no way they could tell, I say.

You would be wrong

yea. I guess I'm just a dick. Websites fingerprint everything about you. This should be comically obvious to people now.

But yea, reddit doesn't like VPNs.

Everything Thiel does makes sense when you learn he literally went to a nazi school in a white supremacist town in Africa.

Read up about the Paypal Mafia and all of its lovely racist, white-supremicist, nazi-loving roots.

I support spreading this message, and fuck Google, but...what's actually happening is they are making harder to install apps, not removing the ability to do so.

Why would the news, controlled and operated by oligarchs, give people protesting oligarchs any coverage?

Both can be true. How TF we have 4 years to produce a candidate against trump, and the best we got was walking corpse Biden 2.0 and then Kamala "I'm speaking while your homeland is genocided" Harris.

Kobo + Calibre is all I need.

Ahh yes, the 20-year experiment that the entire platform was built off of 😄

Every company is basically evil at this point.

Have you ever talked to a CEO? Like, sit down and talk face to face? Their are dumb as rocks. They are dumb as rocks and make all the money, and just move around from company to company, running them into the ground.
