I have rep ranges I prefer for each muscle and movement and typically do them all the time but I’ve heard some people say it’s better to vary rep ranges throughout the week. Is this true and why? I always believed it didn’t matter the rep range or varying the rep range, as long as it was between 5-30 and you were going close to failure. submitted by /u/Kafufflez [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I don't think that too much videos and information around is good, expecially for beginners. Can easily lead to program hopping and mental confusion. When i started in 2013 there were some guys around, but you listened to the information of your favourite influencer and that's it. Maybe it wasnt perfect advice but you sticked to the same thing and you made progress just for the pure consistency. Now expecially with Tik Tok and Instagram you can find 50 guys in a short time , saying different things, just by scrolling your phone. submitted by /u/No_Word_4644 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I know it’s recommended to apply double progression and add reps to each set until a top rep range is hit but can it work for example sticking with 3 sets of 8 for 215 if it’s bench then master that weight for that volume then in a few months go up to 220 for 3 x 8? submitted by /u/Hi_itsJosh [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I understand there can be a need for different exercises, like how you need a knee extension on top of a squat for full growth in the quads. But if you’ve covered all of that, is there any reason why having more is better? Or do people just do it so the workout is more fun? For example right now I do squats and leg extensions on my first leg day… can I just do squats again as my main compound on the second leg day or it advised to do something else for variation, say a leg press or a smith machine hack squat? Same goes for my first chest day, I have BB bench and then incline DB bench, can I j ..read more

In these two days, I’ve bought a couple steaks to eat (they were great BTW) and I payed a lot for them, but now in the gym I didn’t have the best workout, lifts got down and was harder than usual. Maybe because I didn’t eat much calories because I didn’t log in my macros. So does that mean the steaks were wasted? Not to be stingy or something, but even with any protein source, do you waste it if you don’t eat your target calories and there for can’t perform good in the gym?? Lastly, how long does the protein stay in our bodies, like do I still get the benefit of the protein I ate couple days ..read more

How do you manage it without taking a rest day between Legs and Chest/Back day? I RDL/SLDL on Leg day. On pull day I train up to 0 RiR/Failure on concentric. I can't take a rest day in between since my Saturdays are never open and I like to lift 6x per week. Should I just yolo it since I do want a dedicated arm day since my weak points specifically are the Long head Triceps and Lower lats. submitted by /u/International_Sea493 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Don't get me wrong, i think they are awesome and set vs set are probably the most hypertrophic. But the recent science based movement that say they make a huge difference is nonsense imho. What people forget is that lenghten exercises create massive muscle damage so they are harder to recover from. submitted by /u/No_Word_4644 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
