@StrengthDebates I notice I am doing better with 1 push per week, and 2 back session and 1 leg day, with shit load of volume each time (I am doing mostly weighted pull ups/dips and dumbbell press shoulder) vs « classic » 3 upper session per week and 1 leg day, thanks for reinforcing my thinking !
I think frequency is overrated
I traded it long time ago for more accumulation same day and longer rest days between muscle groups
Low rep/ High Sets FTW
Muscle growth stimulus is fairly similar across 5-30 reps if the set is near failure. But for MAXIMIZING muscle gains, go holistic! Mix up rep ranges, tempos, free weights, machines, contraction types, etc. It's the whole package to maximize muscularity.
Circuit training with smaller exercises after a couple of main barbell lifts is one of the best ways to train your average personal training client. Clients don’t usually wanna do 90 minutes of nothing but heavy grinding 3-5 rep sets. At least not for very long.
Cont….
Low Rep Hypertrophy Sets
This one is for every single person who has asked me…
“HOW MUCH REST BETWEEN SETS?”
Or my favorite, “IT TAKES TOO LONG”
Here is the answer, with plenty of logic
Enjoy
Alex Stein says “We SHOULD have trans in the military. The suiclde rate is so incredibly high among transgender people… we could just use them like the Taliban uses suiclde bombers!”
Hypertrophy has nothing to do with 8-12 reps
If you ask the right questions you will realize that the reps/sets are secondary to what actually drives hypertrophy
Once you do that you’ll understand how to truly unlock your potential in building muscle
I wrote about it below 👇🏼
@StrengthDebates What do you think about single ? Like 90% or 1RM, to reach total of 10/12 rep with 1min ish or rest between. Saw @joshstrength implementing that
I think bulking and gaining weight is extremely difficult
It’s harder than cutting IMO
I put together some helpful tips for anyone who is trying to bulk right now

@StrengthDebates How do you structure your workout ? Applying low reps (18-36 reps) for 1/2/3 exercice and then a bit of accessory or ? Thanks in advance !
