@mister poopies you have any idea what the people who hide from the real world are called? Professors. Professors themselves are cringe. They don't know anything about their given topic, and usually have no life experience. Take my neighbour for example. An electrical engineer. 54. Has two children to an ex wife who divorced him for everything, 20 years prior. Ten years ago, he meets a drop dead gorgeous 27 year old, whose been divorced twice, cleaned both those husband's out. Electrical engineer marries her despite all his friends warning him she's a gold digger, and ten years later, she's accumulated two homes in her name from him, through a club sport into the divorce settlement, making it her third car, and has even turned their young boys against their old man. He might not be a professor, but he could be if he wanted to. You may or may not realise one of these days that there's a difference between people that can impress an audience of students, and people that have results. The information guys with results offer may not jive with you personally or fit into your preferences. We can't implement everything we want. But anyone with results pretty much knows a lot about what they're talking about. And a diploma is not necessarily a result. Diplomas are like trophies that all kids get just for playing.

For Beginners, high reps are more healthy, because not only muscles need to grow, also your bands need to increase strength and your joints need to adapt to the new pressure. But all in all, a good video✌️
It's not any healthier, I'd argue that low reps are even healthier. High rep ranges keep the beginners who aren't serious about progress happy, those are the ones who enjoy gym..
@@dragonvarine7553 I agree its really what you want. High reps with a decent weight will tone and gives you more muscle definition. It will make you stronger with people that is on your weight class. High reps I notice will also increase muscle endurance especially in things like obsracle course or anything that warrants it. Atleast my experience when lifting all these years. I'm 5'2 so bulking up is not an option for me, but i'm lean and have good definition. Atleast that is what mostly everyones goal.
Problem is folks dont do the high reps right. When it burns is when the set starts,then u stay burning until u cant handle it. Make sure to stretch or u will likely pull a muscle once ur muscle is pumped wit blood.
I took your periodization/progressive overload approach ever since 2020. I'm beyond grateful for your advice. For context, I'm 5'10" and I weighed 160 lbs. A skinny fat frame. Currently, I'm sitting around 185 - 187 lbs and I'm solid. This information is crucial and I cannot stress it enough. Thank you so much !
I eat twice a day and only eat around 2000 calories and I lost fat and gained a lot of size. Eating all day makes me feel sluggish even when I eat super clean. Different things work for different people I guess.
@@abitofthisnthat it's been happening for me over two years now. But I do believe it will end soon. They do seem to be slowing. When I start mixing up my workouts it seems to help.
To the consistency point. As a lifter going on 40 let me make this clear. Train with the long term in mind. You want to limit injuries. When I was in my early 20s my mentor who was 35 and won the Mr. Illinois at 40 was always complaining about his hips. Young and stupid as I was I commented that my hips were bullet proof. Nope I was wrong I was simply in my early 20s. You dont have bullet proof anything. I see young kids doing a lot of stupid things in the gym because, it activates the target muscle better, wide elbow bench (shoulder impingement) would be a good example, forward lunges (extreme sheer force on the knee) are another good example. Long term nothing will slow your progress more than injury. Dont to X because you read in a magazine that a study says that causes 2% more muscle activation in the target muscle group p = 0.05 when X moves your body through an unnatural plane of motion that either has the potential for serious injury or causes long term repetitive stress injuries. Its not worth it. You will lose in the long run because of it.
It's why I find lunges to be stupid: even with weights, I always get utterly awkward stress points on areas where they shouldn't be (e.g. my knees). I stopped doing them as fast as I started doing them with kettles. No thank you.
Oh yeah. First thing I thought of when he was talking about rep ranges toward the beginning was someone jacking up weight they had no business monkeying with and hurting themselves just to push themselves during that 4-5 rep stretch.
I just started working out yesterday, just the bascis and 4:30 AM runs, and now I think I got more confidence that I can do this because of this videos I'm watching on this channel. Thanks a lot!
I've done tonnes of research to find out all this, and it took me many years to accumulate this knowledge. He sums up the most important things in one video, you should listen to him, he's bang on point.
it really depends though, everyones body works differently. i switched to lower weight and shot for 15 reps at a time so i would feel the burn around 10, and would have to push hard to get those last 2 in. this has worked best for me and i have got pretty fast results , but i have other buddies who usually do high weight and like 6 to 8 reps. and it works great for them.
GEFALT trust me wen u finally know bout building muscles u would either just stop thinking bout it... Or if ur my type guy u will be more thirst for building muscles...
Its really complicated. How to train how to eat how to sleep how to rest....the Calories the food... The free time... And you cant enjoy sweets or pizza. Because gains are very sensitive to sugar/fat.
I love how these videos confirm my acquired knowledge with physiology and clinical studies. Lots of water in between meals helps make room for the next meal and starting early in the morning gives you more time during the day to eat.
After a year of lifting I started a 3 set of 3 rep on my flat, incline and shoulder press and 3 sets of 6 on curls and skull crushers after warm-ups. Made huge strenght gains
After 30 years of all kinds of exercise, I've found the following to be true: Everyone is different, from genetics to metabolism and so forth, so experimentation and going with what your gut tells you or what your body is telling you intuitively. The ratio often promulgated about diet being 90% and training 10% is rubbish. It's like saying a ten-minute walk with intense cognitive focus is better than a 30-minute power walk. It's more around the 50-50% ratio more or less. I say sticking to the simple output exceeding input is a great start. More importantly, if there is no fun factor or sense of learning a new skill like boxing where the incentive to keep training lies in getting better is important. The industry has become infiltrated and highly technical, with lots of jargon and BS language. Depending on what result you are going for it's as simple as 1. Stretching. Mixing up cardio with strength training. Then stretching again. I advise supplementing your hard workouts with pilates (which I can't praise enough), swimming, and other supplementary exercises. All I do is watch my diet, stay away from high-end fatty foods, strength circuit training once a week and a boxing workout once a week. This is enough for me to stabilise my weight because at the end who wants to grind their way down to a weight that is unsustainable, lasts three weeks before your body 'defaults' back to a regular weight. Remember we live in a ridiculously over-obsessed supposedly health-focused society, which in reality is about how attractive do I look? We all work out hard for a variety of reasons, but mostly we are looking for validation from the opposite sex. In Australia, women here have such an over-inflated opinion of themselves it's not worth copping the crap you will almost always get from approaching a woman, so I have let go of the vanity fueled exercise regimen - ignoring boring, aloof, rude, unapproachable women at gym's, and find it's much easier to concentrate.
LOL going to the gym has nothing to do with chatting up girls for most men, you are not normal. People go to the gym to work hard, not ask women for their numbers. You've clearly been doing it wrong if you feel the need to write that last paragraph hahahahah
Bora Sed he’s basically saying that women in the gym don’t want to talk to him when he approaches them (probably because they’re busy exercising) and that annoys him so he’s stopped trying to get their attention and talk to them
Thankyou for your Guidance. 12 to 14/15 Reps are required for ENDURANCE GAINING/BUILDING, as you said, so my 'LUNGS' are already 127%+ of a Normal Human, so 'My Gain' is as you trained, '3-4' Reps and that breaks 'HIGHER GIANT WEIGHTS' and collect 7 Meals a day, the only mistake is that I'll need to overcome is going for 'Very Small UnNourished Meals' that are 'too small Portion Size' that was my 'Class 0 to Class 5' School Days problem. I ll go for 'Morning OATS n MILK n CREAM' Bowl, roughly 2 to 4.8 Large Bowls, that is the 'morning CALORIES' Meal! You told that another Mistake that many many people make is - "Undervaluing the Importance of food and going for replacing 'NUTRITION NEEDS' 80% to 30% with 'trying to Supplementation' with PROTEIN + WATER Shakes." Thankyou for Telling - "If you WORKOUT too much when trying to BULK UP, you rather Hurt you more than you Help you." Thankyou for telling - "Higher Weights (accelerating every '3 to 8' Workouts) are compulsory [
One thing ive lived by that has always helped me is, low weight high rep for definition and sculpting, and low rep high weight to build big muscles. It has never let me down
I gained 30 lbs just eating 4-5 times a day. I’m 6”2 I was 140 very underweight. I did this with creatine supplementation, eating balanced food and vegan protein. You don’t necessarily need whey , time and consistency is key
This was really informative and useful. Bulking up and what's included here is really gonna help me. I'm a few weeks in, seeing results but this has instilled what I really should be doing. Thanks for the Video Ian 👍😁
Meal planning the day before is super important. Also considering your mouth as a muscle you train just like every other muscle. Good luck to all with your goals!
I'm working out, but I'm really getting sick and tired of every other person saying go heavy with fewer reps, go less with high reps. There is so much information out there you don't know what's right anymore.
I almost bit my water on my phone when you started talking about the machines at the gym. It remind me a friend of mine who wanted to start working out and he wanted my help since I was in the gym almost every day of the week. After they gave him the tour of the place they set him up to work out. I was over in the free weight room and he asked me to come over to him to show him how to use one of the machines. I looked at him and said I have no idea how to use this. He said you practically live in this place and you don't know how to use the equipment? That's when I told him these machines are meant for women and if you want the big dogs are in the back. Let's just say he never went to the gym again. That wasn't my intention but he really did not want to put the work in. Great video look forward to watching more of your videos.
Machines have a place, but they shouldnt be the mainstay of your workout. I treat machines like just that.....a treat. At the end of my workout as a reward for killing myself on barbells & dumbbells. Good way to finish off a workout with that last bit of destroying the muscle & maximizing your pump before leaving the gym. Also good for isolating muscles if you need to due to injury, exhaustion, etc... It's like candy or ice cream or fast food. Should you have it all the time? Absolutely not. Should you treat yourself occasionally? Yeah, it keeps you sane.
I agree with all these points especially with sleep. When I was averaging 4-5 hrs of sleep the muscle gains came slow. Now that I get 7 hours I have noticed a huge difference!
Doing exactly what you have said, after two weeks the results are in. From 84kg I am now down to 80kg, gaining in my shoulders, my abs, and my biceps. Lost 4kg but gained muscle, became so agile again since I was a soccer player and my whole life I am in training. Became much more explosive, yes I'm losing some weight but at least I am gaining muscles. Still need to work out on my back tho, and to stretch much more. The food part tho is extremely heavy. At some point of time I am going with only 1 meal a day since I am fasting right now, but damn brother the results are in. The catch is exactly what you said and what @Stewie Griffin posted in the comment section. Just follow the routine, don't give up, fight the pressure, and most importantly FIND THE BALANCE between the training sessions, reps, and food. Its extremely difficult but worth it.
@@liverbot4854 Fellow soccer player here... 8 weeks for a notable significant difference... friends and family can tell you. I am sticking on two meals a day because I have lost fat but maintained weight.
Good info! Very very true! I've preached that for years. There are no short cuts, whether you are losing fat or gaining muscle, consistency is the key! Thanks for this video!
I'm at 220g a day and it's not that expensive. Just eat the right foods and cook at home. I only use a protien shake once a day and it's for breakfast usually after my morning workout. Rest of the day is just food. Not that difficult.
I agree with the whole rep range theory, or what you call periodization. Thomas Delauer has a similar approach, where he suggests working out for a couple weeks with lower rep ranges, then switching it up to high rep ranges for the same amount of time. I was afraid you were going to suggest a one-rep-range-over-all-others routine, but I was pleasantly surprised. Good video...
@caseyburnet , May I ask how to arrange the schedule for rep range? for example: 1st week - moderate reps 3kg weight 2nd week - high reps 3kg weight 3rd week - low reps with 6kg weight 4th week - moderate with more than 3kg weight? a biut confused how to utilize this method. thank you in advance
3 weeks into my bulking up mission. Never thought it’d be so hard to gain weight. The ‘uncomfortably full’ thing is real, and unpleasant 🤢 it’s like, ugh, I have to eat AGAIN
Tips for beginners to be aware: #1 don't go straight to stupidly heavy low reps. Your muscles may be able to lift it, but your ligaments are not. #2 start with basics. 2-3 exercises, 3x12 per muscle for 1-2 months. Than go to 8-10 for like 6 months (changing exercises every 2-3 months). Once you are at least an intermediate lifter you can think of experimenting with those bro science stuff...
As long as you give everything you got on every set and on the last set (lets say fourth) you can barely do 4 youre gonna get bigger and stronger. EATING is the hard part, eat A LOT, if you dont youre not gonna get bigger no matter how good your workout sessions are.
Actually a six-year study shows that as long as you work out to exhaustion the rep range doesn’t matter at all. Naturally it’s harder to do 20-30 reps to exhaustion with each set for each muscle group because you’ll most likely throw up a couple times but hey, Almighty Arnold said it himself - "I've thrown up many times working out, but it's all worth it."
I dont know this study you speak of but there are two kinds of hypertrophy. You wont get much myofibril hypertrophy doing any kind of high rep work. The study you are talking about may have just looked at total muscle mass but not all muscle mass gains are equal.
George Taylor yes you will. It's called metabolic stress. The build up of lactic acid from high reps causes reactions in the muscle tissues and has shown to be just as effective as low reps or medium reps for hypertrophy. The science and research is already there. But nobody wants to read it.
So you're saying we don't need heavy weights in the gym, we can just lift the light weights more and get the same muscle mass? I hope that's not the conclusion, because it's bullshit. I can go nuts and curl 20 kg 30 times throughout a month. I will build some strength, but mostly endurance. At some point the weight will have to increase, making it harder to keep the same rep range, and logically the rep range will have to come down. One does not exclude the other, but I can say from experience, more weight and less reps are better for building strength and mass. Reps are better for endurance, and doing both makes for a more universal strength, as I'm sure most people would agree is beneficial.
@@Tomazack The study you're talking about is relatively untrained people, over a short time. If people bench 6-8 and others pop out push ups to failure then over a couple of months the results might be similar. It doesn't tell us much. I used to do 800 push ups a day. You get good at push ups. You're bigger than people who don't train, but you don't really get big.
I’m a Certified Master Fitness Trainer in The Army. The book answer for optimum muscle growth is 6-11 reps. For optimum strength you want to go for 1-5 reps. For optimum muscle endurance you want to hit 12-15.
Absolutely believe in changing it up. I wish I knew it years ago. Figured it out myself, with a friend a couple years ago. I used to do only low rep and medium rep workout sessions. Then my friend would do 40 rep workouts mixed in, and it made a huge difference on him, so I started too. It also gives your joints and ligaments a rest from all heavy weights. Think of your joints now, when you are young and you won't have osteoarthritis like I have after 40 years of lifting
I think #1 on this list should be the fact that people cut and bulk. Bulking makes sense if you're a hardgainer but if you're not, then there is no point. Just make sure your workouts are intense, eat clean lean foods, and you'll be golden. Only if you stay consistent with this will it work
Thank you man for this great content! I eat twice a day and only consume about 2000 calories, and I shed fat and acquired a lot of size. Even when I eat incredibly clean, eating all day makes me feel lethargic... I have a rapid metabolism, and having to eat so much during the day is a bother.... Keep up the great work!
I was able to gain a lot of muscle following the advice in the video, however found it extremely difficult to lose fat and keep the muscle I had worked so hard for as summertime approached, actually the muscle melted away as fast as the fat. Hardly worth all the work
very interesting comment. I'm trying to stay lean and build, giving it a few months to see if I can do it. tracking exactly what I need to eat to sustain
I used to always work out. Was in good shape. Met a girl, she was so controlling with everything. Anyway she made me stop working out cuz she said that the time I spend working out I need to use it to br around her...so ya I agree I lost my gains due to a woman. Now I'm fat and im trying to get back in shape. 😆
Step one: go to jail. Step two: PAY ATTENTION. Step three enjoy results from steps one and two. Warning crimes committed may result in a longer "training session" or an indefinite "training session" Please consult a lawyer to find the best "training session" for you. We are not responsible for any crimes you commit and do not condone the use of this terrible advice in any way!
I dont see how you eating for 30 min would hurt this as this advices are for gaining muscle which require a lot of food according to the trainer. If you take a low amount of calories during those 30 min, then you could destroy your 5 hour workout...
Dont stay with the same weight and same reps.. when you progress you get stronger and when your body is stronger.. the last weight and reps are nothing but useless and you can start losing muscle. Add on weight when you think its the right time.. same with reps.

Dont to X because you read in a magazine that a study says that causes 2% more muscle activation in the target muscle group p = 0.05 when X moves your body through an unnatural plane of motion that either has the potential for serious injury or causes long term repetitive stress injuries.
Its not worth it. You will lose in the long run because of it.
It's why I find lunges to be stupid: even with weights, I always get utterly awkward stress points on areas where they shouldn't be (e.g. my knees). I stopped doing them as fast as I started doing them with kettles. No thank you.
@@daviddebroux4708 question, what do you do instead?
Oh yeah. First thing I thought of when he was talking about rep ranges toward the beginning was someone jacking up weight they had no business monkeying with and hurting themselves just to push themselves during that 4-5 rep stretch.
I don't do anything that causes me pain! I'm glad I've learned this lesson in my early 20s

youtube : go to gym
also youtube : this exercise u doing is also wrong
So true man.
Farting while doing the exercises are killing your gains, remember that
I just started working out yesterday, just the bascis and 4:30 AM runs, and now I think I got more confidence that I can do this because of this videos I'm watching on this channel. Thanks a lot!
Same i just started bro im kind of confused what exercises i need to do as a skinny guy wanting to get big and muscular
I've done tonnes of research to find out all this, and it took me many years to accumulate this knowledge. He sums up the most important things in one video, you should listen to him, he's bang on point.
it really depends though, everyones body works differently. i switched to lower weight and shot for 15 reps at a time so i would feel the burn around 10, and would have to push hard to get those last 2 in. this has worked best for me and i have got pretty fast results , but i have other buddies who usually do high weight and like 6 to 8 reps. and it works great for them.
Same here, good results
Everytime I watch a video of yours, it feels much more complicated than before in building muscles.
GEFALT trust me wen u finally know bout building muscles u would either just stop thinking bout it... Or if ur my type guy u will be more thirst for building muscles...
GEFALT plus he has no gains
@@teenwithmuscles5646 For me, I just try sticking to my workout plan and hit the gym 3 times a week, and eat more protein than I usually do.
GEFALT I guess they have to keep creating content, I like Arnolds advice, "just go back to basics"
Its really complicated.
How to train how to eat how to sleep how to rest....the Calories the food... The free time...
And you cant enjoy sweets or pizza. Because gains are very sensitive to sugar/fat.
I love how these videos confirm my acquired knowledge with physiology and clinical studies. Lots of water in between meals helps make room for the next meal and starting early in the morning gives you more time during the day to eat.
After a year of lifting I started a 3 set of 3 rep on my flat, incline and shoulder press and 3 sets of 6 on curls and skull crushers after warm-ups. Made huge strenght gains
I feel like getting results is good enough for me
same zaddy💞💞💞
After 30 years of all kinds of exercise, I've found the following to be true: Everyone is different, from genetics to metabolism and so forth, so experimentation and going with what your gut tells you or what your body is telling you intuitively.
The ratio often promulgated about diet being 90% and training 10% is rubbish. It's like saying a ten-minute walk with intense cognitive focus is better than a 30-minute power walk.
It's more around the 50-50% ratio more or less. I say sticking to the simple output exceeding input is a great start.
More importantly, if there is no fun factor or sense of learning a new skill like boxing where the incentive to keep training lies in getting better is important.
The industry has become infiltrated and highly technical, with lots of jargon and BS language. Depending on what result you are going for it's as simple as 1. Stretching. Mixing up cardio with strength training. Then stretching again. I advise supplementing your hard workouts with pilates (which I can't praise enough), swimming, and other supplementary exercises.
All I do is watch my diet, stay away from high-end fatty foods, strength circuit training once a week and a boxing workout once a week. This is enough for me to stabilise my weight because at the end who wants to grind their way down to a weight that is unsustainable, lasts three weeks before your body 'defaults' back to a regular weight.
Remember we live in a ridiculously over-obsessed supposedly health-focused society, which in reality is about how attractive do I look? We all work out hard for a variety of reasons, but mostly we are looking for validation from the opposite sex.
In Australia, women here have such an over-inflated opinion of themselves it's not worth copping the crap you will almost always get from approaching a woman, so I have let go of the vanity fueled exercise regimen - ignoring boring, aloof, rude, unapproachable women at gym's, and find it's much easier to concentrate.
Hey mate can you please explain the last paragraph with little more simple English ? I didn't really get it.
LOL going to the gym has nothing to do with chatting up girls for most men, you are not normal. People go to the gym to work hard, not ask women for their numbers. You've clearly been doing it wrong if you feel the need to write that last paragraph hahahahah
@@MA-se1iv yeah i dont agree with those people. Working out to impress girls. By the way what did he mean in the last paragraph ?
Bora Sed he’s basically saying that women in the gym don’t want to talk to him when he approaches them (probably because they’re busy exercising) and that annoys him so he’s stopped trying to get their attention and talk to them
Thankyou for your Guidance. 12 to 14/15 Reps are required for ENDURANCE GAINING/BUILDING, as you said, so my 'LUNGS' are already 127%+ of a Normal Human, so 'My Gain' is as you trained, '3-4' Reps and that breaks 'HIGHER GIANT WEIGHTS' and collect 7 Meals a day, the only mistake is that I'll need to overcome is going for 'Very Small UnNourished Meals' that are 'too small Portion Size' that was my 'Class 0 to Class 5' School Days problem. I ll go for 'Morning OATS n MILK n CREAM' Bowl, roughly 2 to 4.8 Large Bowls, that is the 'morning CALORIES' Meal! You told that another Mistake that many many people make is - "Undervaluing the Importance of food and going for replacing 'NUTRITION NEEDS' 80% to 30% with 'trying to Supplementation' with PROTEIN + WATER Shakes." Thankyou for Telling - "If you WORKOUT too much when trying to BULK UP, you rather Hurt you more than you Help you." Thankyou for telling - "Higher Weights (accelerating every '3 to 8' Workouts) are compulsory [

Work on your form with light weights and then move to heavy lifting : AS

I almost bit my water on my phone when you started talking about the machines at the gym. It remind me a friend of mine who wanted to start working out and he wanted my help since I was in the gym almost every day of the week. After they gave him the tour of the place they set him up to work out. I was over in the free weight room and he asked me to come over to him to show him how to use one of the machines. I looked at him and said I have no idea how to use this. He said you practically live in this place and you don't know how to use the equipment? That's when I told him these machines are meant for women and if you want the big dogs are in the back. Let's just say he never went to the gym again. That wasn't my intention but he really did not want to put the work in.
Great video look forward to watching more of your videos.
Machines have a place, but they shouldnt be the mainstay of your workout. I treat machines like just that.....a treat. At the end of my workout as a reward for killing myself on barbells & dumbbells. Good way to finish off a workout with that last bit of destroying the muscle & maximizing your pump before leaving the gym. Also good for isolating muscles if you need to due to injury, exhaustion, etc...
It's like candy or ice cream or fast food. Should you have it all the time? Absolutely not. Should you treat yourself occasionally? Yeah, it keeps you sane.

@Thijs Kievit with the one punch references
I agree with all these points especially with sleep. When I was averaging 4-5 hrs of sleep the muscle gains came slow. Now that I get 7 hours I have noticed a huge difference!
He didn't mention sleep....That was the flaw in this video
wdldrider70 damn! That’s usually the standard haha
Doing exactly what you have said, after two weeks the results are in. From 84kg I am now down to 80kg, gaining in my shoulders, my abs, and my biceps. Lost 4kg but gained muscle, became so agile again since I was a soccer player and my whole life I am in training. Became much more explosive, yes I'm losing some weight but at least I am gaining muscles. Still need to work out on my back tho, and to stretch much more.
The food part tho is extremely heavy. At some point of time I am going with only 1 meal a day since I am fasting right now, but damn brother the results are in. The catch is exactly what you said and what @Stewie Griffin posted in the comment section. Just follow the routine, don't give up, fight the pressure, and most importantly FIND THE BALANCE between the training sessions, reps, and food. Its extremely difficult but worth it.

Woah a workout video that is informative and doesn't try to sell me something right off the bat 😲
great information given by an expert.....thanks alot
I agree with the whole rep range theory, or what you call periodization. Thomas Delauer has a similar approach, where he suggests working out for a couple weeks with lower rep ranges, then switching it up to high rep ranges for the same amount of time. I was afraid you were going to suggest a one-rep-range-over-all-others routine, but I was pleasantly surprised. Good video...
@caseyburnet , May I ask how to arrange the schedule for rep range?
for example:
1st week - moderate reps 3kg weight
2nd week - high reps 3kg weight
3rd week - low reps with 6kg weight
4th week - moderate with more than 3kg weight?
a biut confused how to utilize this method.
thank you in advance
"You can only build 1 pound of muscle per month" 5 seconds later "Buy our plan and build muscle in 6 weeks" :D
6 weeks is more than a month and he didn't say how much muscle..so no logic in your comment
He said if you aren’t a beginner but his plans are mostly meant for beginners
Check out the snake diet
Do you even know how long a month is?
So that would be 1.5 punds, right?

Tips for beginners to be aware:
#1 don't go straight to stupidly heavy low reps. Your muscles may be able to lift it, but your ligaments are not.
#2 start with basics. 2-3 exercises, 3x12 per muscle for 1-2 months. Than go to 8-10 for like 6 months (changing exercises every 2-3 months). Once you are at least an intermediate lifter you can think of experimenting with those bro science stuff...
I'll definitely listen to the green arrow
Thanks Mr.Queen,i also noticed that since im a begginer and it helped me confirm my thoughts.
As long as you give everything you got on every set and on the last set (lets say fourth) you can barely do 4 youre gonna get bigger and stronger. EATING is the hard part, eat A LOT, if you dont youre not gonna get bigger no matter how good your workout sessions are.
Ye true bro, food is 70% of ur muscle gaining and training 30%
Focusing on the muscles is very useful. I used to idolize Bruce Lee and tried the ki energy focus thing and beat out a mate using steroids and such.
Thanks a lot man. 😊

LMFAO
Actually a six-year study shows that as long as you work out to exhaustion the rep range doesn’t matter at all. Naturally it’s harder to do 20-30 reps to exhaustion with each set for each muscle group because you’ll most likely throw up a couple times but hey, Almighty Arnold said it himself - "I've thrown up many times working out, but it's all worth it."
Arnie is on roids tho
I dont know this study you speak of but there are two kinds of hypertrophy. You wont get much myofibril hypertrophy doing any kind of high rep work. The study you are talking about may have just looked at total muscle mass but not all muscle mass gains are equal.
George Taylor yes you will. It's called metabolic stress. The build up of lactic acid from high reps causes reactions in the muscle tissues and has shown to be just as effective as low reps or medium reps for hypertrophy. The science and research is already there. But nobody wants to read it.
So you're saying we don't need heavy weights in the gym, we can just lift the light weights more and get the same muscle mass? I hope that's not the conclusion, because it's bullshit. I can go nuts and curl 20 kg 30 times throughout a month. I will build some strength, but mostly endurance. At some point the weight will have to increase, making it harder to keep the same rep range, and logically the rep range will have to come down. One does not exclude the other, but I can say from experience, more weight and less reps are better for building strength and mass. Reps are better for endurance, and doing both makes for a more universal strength, as I'm sure most people would agree is beneficial.
@@Tomazack The study you're talking about is relatively untrained people, over a short time. If people bench 6-8 and others pop out push ups to failure then over a couple of months the results might be similar. It doesn't tell us much. I used to do 800 push ups a day. You get good at push ups. You're bigger than people who don't train, but you don't really get big.
I’m a Certified Master Fitness Trainer in The Army. The book answer for optimum muscle growth is 6-11 reps. For optimum strength you want to go for 1-5 reps. For optimum muscle endurance you want to hit 12-15.
That goes with weight lifts.
Absolutely believe in changing it up. I wish I knew it years ago. Figured it out myself, with a friend a couple years ago. I used to do only low rep and medium rep workout sessions. Then my friend would do 40 rep workouts mixed in, and it made a huge difference on him, so I started too. It also gives your joints and ligaments a rest from all heavy weights. Think of your joints now, when you are young and you won't have osteoarthritis like I have after 40 years of lifting

I think #1 on this list should be the fact that people cut and bulk. Bulking makes sense if you're a hardgainer but if you're not, then there is no point. Just make sure your workouts are intense, eat clean lean foods, and you'll be golden. Only if you stay consistent with this will it work

How to lose gains?
Fall in love...women are awesome
But let me tell you..gains and progression definitely come to a hault
weird. i met a girl that is way to hot for me so that’s what got my ass in the gym
Obviously she’s not to hot for you bro. You’re a catch and she realizes it! Keep working!
i like my women like i like my coffee
i drink tea
not true, I'm love with a really hot chick so i actually have even more motivation to workout just to match her hotness lol
I used to always work out. Was in good shape. Met a girl, she was so controlling with everything. Anyway she made me stop working out cuz she said that the time I spend working out I need to use it to br around her...so ya I agree I lost my gains due to a woman. Now I'm fat and im trying to get back in shape. 😆
Just eat regular home food and work out hard and heavy. Thats my funda. Its not that complicated.

Tru for cardio not for muscle wormouts
Dont stay with the same weight and same reps.. when you progress you get stronger and when your body is stronger.. the last weight and reps are nothing but useless and you can start losing muscle. Add on weight when you think its the right time.. same with reps.
