So you’re in the middle of your set of bicep curls, and you told yourself at the beginning, I’m gonna get 15 reps no matter what, I don’t care how hard it gets, I don’t care how much it hurts, I’m getting to 15, and that’s final. So you continue your set, and your form slowly starts to break down, but you push through it and make it to 15. Finally, you can drop the weight and relax, and enjoy the gains that follow, right? Wrong. That is not how you are supposed to train. Because when you aim for a specific number of reps, your only goal is to reach that number of reps. Sure you may have trained hard, but did you train to failure, maybe, maybe not, it was pretty hard to tell, considering your form turned to absolute dog shit. You see, going into your set with a rep target already in mind, is a recipe for disaster. That’s because, when the weight starts to feel heavy and you inevitably start to slow down midway through, instead of letting your muscles fail, you then start to use momentum, less range of motion, body english and improper technique in order to push through the last few reps and reach your goal. Oh but look I can’t lift the weight anymore, so I failed. Yea, you failed alright, failed to build any fucking muscle. Stop telling yourself before your set exactly how many reps you’re gonna do, especially when you know your form is gonna break down somewhere in the middle. Instead, aim for a rep range, like 5-7, and just push as hard as you can during that set, without even thinking about the number of reps, until you can literally just no longer lift the weight without your form breaking down. Maybe, after all is said and done, you got 9 reps, maybe you only got 4, what does this tell you, it tells you that you should probably increase or decrease the weight the next time to fall back in that rep range. Then once you’ve found the right weight, and you start to get comfortable training to failure while maintaining proper form, you can now somewhat expect how many reps you’ll be able to get. But again, it’s not like you stop because you hit that rep range, you stop because you hit failure, and literally can’t do anymore, and it just so happens to fall in that rep range, because you’ve adjusted the weight accordingly. This is how you train. That, when you go back and do that same exercise again, with the same weight and the same intensity, eventually you will be able to do more reps. And at some point, you will exceed your rep range, forcing you again to increase the weight until you fall back in. This is progressive overload, and this is how you build muscle. And when you do this on every exercise for every muscle group, during every training session, you will start to get comments like this from people who are still doing those 15 reps to failure wondering why you’re making progress and they’re not.

About Me: I started lifting at 17 years old in 2019, the summer before I entered my freshman year of college. I was a mere 120 pounds at 5'8, and my only goal was to gain weight. Since then I've bulked 5 times, reaching my heaviest at 206 pounds, and cut 4 times to a lowest of around 10% bodyfat. In 2025 I plan to compete in my first natural bodybuilding show. Using the knowledge I have acquired and continue to learn, my goal is to help all of you achieve your fitness goals and prove that no matter what stands in your way, hard work and consistency will always prevail!

1:27 bro thinks he’s Hector Salamanca 💀
Jokes aside your thought on split workout vs full workout
We’ve all seen Buff Gus. Hector needed to show us he ain’t messing around either.
It’s called hector curls for a reason
both are pretty good just pick whatever fits you better, as long as you progressive overload and recover well

Hair was epic AF.

His mullet is better
what I like about Max is he went from a total juicehead with no logic or actual science backing up his routine, purely pushing through egotistical persistence, to the total opposite. Love the videos bro, I am running your current routine. Though I find 2 sets per exercise to be too little to feel my muscles working, I lowered my rep range and am finding myself pushing to true failure without the feeling of fatigue.
are you saying hes not natty?
JUICEHEAD? So you are saying Max is on gear?
What routine is it if I can ask?
Think you mean meathead
Max body just keeps getting better and better. Delicious.
😅
what do you mean delicious? 🤨
@@micsss_exactly what I said. The word can be used in multiple ways, pick one.
So simple yet people always miss this. Thank you for educating the masses 👍
I think this is the first time I've seen REP RANGE was properly explained. Usually I see the reps as a limit, not an estimate, so now I understand the difference between a number of reps versus a rep range.
Babe wake up max just dropped a new video
And than your chubby bf said who cares about that fake natty you have a boy crush on 🤣 not like girls care about maxipad
Lol.
ass, overused, cuck comment
Grandma, wake up, Max just dropped a new video.
Non existent babe
good shit max I beleive you're natural
Well, because he is.
@kejzi_some people take gear to look natural.
Not saying he Is or isn't on gear. because I don't know.
@kejzi_ and I said that observation could be false.
@kejzi_ okay that's fine
I’ve been following your techniques since long, and I’m getting results. Thanks for everything max! Love from India ❤
Omg i just finished watching breaking and than seeing these scenes just makes me so happy
Max don't focus on the negative comments! Focus on all my comments about wanting a glute day and how caked up you look ❤
Glute spread when?
gosh, keep it together Steven
I'm 38 and have been working out/watching UA-cam fitness channels since I was 24. I just wanted to say that the way you approach this is brilliant and really helpful. The 2 minute tutorials are saving my back by finding exercise alternatives. It would be very helpful if you could make a video on thickness vs. width. For example, I'm looking thicker than I'd like to look and want to get wider/broader and beach body ready instead. I admit that my body fat is higher than it typically is (17 percent). Perhaps it's because of this, or because I've done compounds only? (deadlifts/squats/bench/pullups, etc)
It’s pretty ok to break form a little on the last reps to push your limits
All well and good until next week you go do the same exercise maybe energy is different you get less reps and have no clue if progressive overload occurred
Yeah if your goal is to milk the eccentric part of the movement, not if you just drop the weights down like a clown.
@@palerideryt1206its pretty normal, do it again another week until ne PR then you just this progressive overload.
Ice Age picture in the stairs is crazy
Nobody talking about when he looked at the camera at 0:35 and the sound effect that played 😭
I do Dynamic Double Progression though, for example let’s say I’ll do 60x5, 60x3, 55x4. The next week I’ll do 65x3, 60x4, 55x5. I have a set number for the amount of reps I’ll do but either the weight or the reps will increase. I realized a while ago that when I tried to do an extra rep instead of sticking with the amount of reps I already had in mind, that I’d just be a failure rep, so I technically don’t leave any (clean) reps in reserve. Does everyone else train like that? I learned that method of training from Sean Nalewanyj a couple years ago.
I train like this. Imo, the key to consistent gains is to program your strength work first (i.e presses, deadlifts, etc.), and then hammer out the remaining 3x6-10 (or so) sets at a threshold of 0-1 RIR.
Absolute banger of a video and I completely agree.
It doesn’t have to the rep ranges. You just need to reach proper “failure “ when executing the exercise correctly

This is the moment Max referenced WALTUH

1:16 bro is so mischievous
He just threw so many shots at the end lmao
I always aim for a specific number of reps but never break form to reach that rep. If I fail before I get to the rep then I’ll get em next time lol but always good form with training to failure is better. Usually if I feel like I can go past the specific number of reps then I will until failure. It gets tricky on bench press though since I workout alone haha
Max back wit da bangers, like always No.1 fitness influencer I follow
Funny how I just realized this a few days ago. If you focus on reaching a certain number of reps, then you'll focus on that number alone and the quality of the reps goes way down. Even in the beginning you'll be worried about making it to the set number and so you're form will suck just to make it easier and ensure you'll make it. However, if you just forget the number and focus on form and pushing as hard ypu can without worrykng about having enough stength to finish you're prescribed sets, you'll gain WAY more muscle and strength. I learned this the hard way because i hadnt been making progress for months and then when I focused on form and actually putting maximum effort and focus into each reps, i started getting way stronger. Quality over quantity people!
having a rep goal can actually be better if you used effectively, since creating new milestones for weight and reps is at the heart of progressive overload.
if you’re goal is to fail in 5-7 reps, you might “fail” at 5 when you could hit 6, 7, or even 8 reps. if you did 6 reps last workout and your new goal is to hit 7, facing the disappointment of not reaching your goals will motivate you both during your workout and during your recovery. If you do fail at 6 or 5, the set will happen to fall in the “target rep range” anyway. you might not be motivated enough to reach true failure once you surpass your rep goal in a set, but you will adjust your weight and rep goals according to your progress in the next session.
I think the mindset of training to failure is flawed because if you want your muscles to fail, they will fail. if you are motivated to succeed, then the stimulus from failing will be so much greater. if you think about a time in your life when you failed miserably, think about how much sharper you became when you trained to come back. Though extremely anecdotal, i think this phenomenon has implications to how our nervous systems work when we strive for concrete goals and are genuinely afraid of failure. We need to train to avoid failure, so when we fail our muscles are legit giving out on us, and the stimulus for them to adapt is greater.
210 lbs for preacher curls? Damn bro, almost hitting my lateral raise warm up weight. Good shit 😂
Another bomber video max ❤❤❤😊 Love the content
So.....?!
are you saying we learnt how to cuont for no good reason ?!
I knew it !!
(yes, intentional misspelling there, relaks)
It's easy: work on an adequate intensity level.
Can you make 1 video of how to grow triceps?
Just do OHP, CGBP, and heavy skull crushers in the 5-8 rep range for 3 set's each exercise doing each exercise to failure once a week for proper recovery if you have questions let me know bro polarity fitness and Peter katcherian are good one's to watch for lifting advice 😎👍
I agree, bach.💯
Do I need to add tempo the same as Max in that rep range?
@@bachnguyenanggia165 no the tempo should only be 1 second so you can get more rep's 😎👍
@@bachnguyenanggia165 focus on compounds I promise you won't regret it overhead press, and bench press, close grip bench press are the one's to do
WOW I have been training wrong this whole time
NO IM NOT
Just came from the gym , now Im going back because I did it wrong
I trained every set to failure for 6 months during the last year. I made 0 gains and developed sleeping disorders.
Training as hard as you can is not always right.
You probably didn't rest as hard as you can
I would love if you bring out a Programm
I think you can improve by holding more like 2 Mississippi in the full contracted position on each rep
If you can cheat it means you're lifting too heavy, switch to lightweight training and the possibility to cheat will be erased because the concerned muscle will reach true failure and the assisting muscles will not jump in as easily because the weight can be effectively lifted by the target muscle.
More reps, more sets, and lighter weight will transfigure your training, especially for biceps, triceps and shoulders. Insane burn, actual failure, slow eccentrics, full rom, and no room for cheating > more gains.
Can you make a video on how to break plateaus?
except for mental lifts. squats i feel require some mental pushing that you cant just "push hard" to achieve without counting reps.
But the point is if you cheat on your squats during the last reps?
@@Fera-gr5mm how u gonna cheat on squat
What I do is when I try a new machine or exercise I see how many reps I can do then make that my target reps and then keep doing it until I can add weight
Bro was doing Spine Curls 😅😂
Great vid 👍👍👍
I think a rep target is smart as long as you decide to not compromise form for the sake of that goal and will go past that goal if you are able to. Like if I work in the 6-10 rep range for curls and hit 7 reps last week, I will aim for 8 the next week to progressive overload and my technique isn't affected by it.
0:44 Just watching that bad technique about broke my back-wait, pause…
TRICEP VIDEO PLSSSS
So optimal rep range is now 5-7? I thought it was 6-8 on compound movements and 8-15 on non compound movements
It would've been so funny if one of the comments that popped up at 2:09 was an "oiled up glute spread when?" comment XD
What would you say is too many sets per workout (if training close to failure on all sets)
1:05 Does every set need to contain the same number of reps? You mention a rep range from 5 to 7. What if you are doing 4 sets, and the first two sets you can do 6 reps, but for the remaining you are too fatigued and can do less than 5. Also, how long should you rest between your sets? For reference, I want to train for hypertrophy
So does every set need to be to failure with this mindset of hitting a rep range of 5 to 7? If all sets are to failure, how many sets total should be done per exercise. And how many total exercise should I be doing per muscle/muscle group each workout
You do as many sets per muscle in one session as needed while still being able to recover for your next session, how much that is, iswhat you have to find out for yourself.
Not every set needs to go to failure but if you train with low volume per exercise like Max does, you better hit failure every set.
He does 1-2 sets per exercise.
The rep range is also up to you, everything from 5 to 30+ works but to be more reasonable, 5-15 is where most people stay at.
1 exercise is enough but depends on the muscle, maybe you want more for muscles such as pecs, where you can apply presses and flies, or bicep and hammer curl for biceps.
You don't have to go to failure always, RIR 1 is also good but you have to know when you hit that and that comes from experience.
I'd recommend going for the 4 or 5 reps minimum to maximum 10 to reduce fatigue because it does make the difference if you properly train. I personally get exhausted physically and mentally when I'm already at 9-10 reps and I hate it. You just add weight and hit it again, which is the best way of progressive overload and the way you may have to follow instead of wanting to add reps if you want to progress. It's not always the way though, you can still progressive overload trying to add reps but sometimes you just can't add more reps, therefore a slight weight addition will be needed.
Just dont care bro use natural form aim low rep range lift heavy or more count than last session increase the weight note u cant maintain strict textbook form omce u reached a particular weight so in curl lean forward throw and lock the weight in the lats and contract the biceps repeat
Is this suggesting you go to failure on every set?
Pea brain question. But do you do this for every set of a workout?
Max why did you copy paste your entire script in the description 😭
Black and white thinking, both are good ways of training
Where u been bro
So many people have a tendency to think that anyone bigger than themselves is on gear 🤓 besides that your looking massive euceda I'm inspired by your transformation
is the training video at the beginning older/newer? You look leaner than usual

Hi man
I could make ya free thumbnails or just enhance yours. I need some more reps
do you ever have deload weeks?
Max please answer me did you ever have a like water bag in your wrist it showed in my wrist and i dont know why it happend to me i know Maybe because of training but what do i do not train??
Bro go see a doctor
Nice vid
While I do strongly agree with going to failure, I believe that everyone should at least record themselves going to failure or have someone else count how many reps they are doing so they can see if they went up in reps from their previous workout. Counting your reps is crucial because it's the only way to truly know if you progressed by fully recovering and adapting from your previous workout. If you don't keep track of your progress you have absolutely ZERO idea as to whether you are training with the correct frequency and every workout becomes a blind shot into the dark.
Remember, even if you're in a calorie deficit you should always be going up in reps every single workout. If you are going up in repetitions, weight (or both), then, despite being in a calorie deficit, your body has the time it needs to fully recover and adapt from the workouts. This is why a training journal is crucial. If you find that you're getting weaker, then you need more time in between training sessions (assuming you've trained intensely enough to stimulate an adaptive response from your workouts).
That's something advance young lifers can probably tackle.

Course not
Always waiting for a new video but 2 minutes is sadd
Do you do coaching or have a training program? I want to start bodybuilding but am not sure where to start.
Start with a full body routine (hitting all the muscles in the same day) for 2-3 days. Search for a good exercise for each muscle and do each exercise for 3-4 sets. Let me know if you would like me to list out some exercises
@@Clickinqq Good stuff. You meant to say 2-3 days a week. You wrote it as if all in a row to a novice lifter.😁

Actually valid information. I noticed your training changed after Jay Vincent made a video on you. I'm still out on the natty status with you, but you're at least teaching decent info.
Yeah boy, you just "ate" and grow twice more muscle mass in 5 years than any natty in their whole life.

Even if this guy is on gear (making an assumption that the critics are right), still his advice is very logical, and that too from the early days.
Natty?
The muscle separation you already had that early on in your training shows that 90% of your results is purely genetic and not hard work
Thanks maxipad the fake natty. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Matthew 4:17From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
