For chest strength training I do 10 sets on 1 rep max, when i'm done with that workout i wait a week and do it over again; Typically, i see improvement in my repetition every week, for example, after pushing 10 sets of 1 rep workout, the following week that comes i can push a new rep. Accordingly, the next workout that follows, using the the new rep i earned i repeat the process, and then i almost all the time get a new rep. Is there a better workout that can get me more reps faster?
one thing what has been getting to me is the amount of sets you should do on a muscle group, at the moment i'm doing around 9-12 sets all together on each muscle, with around 8 solid reps then cheat reps, negatives etc just to go to complete failure... but because i train so hard on each set i get fatigued by the last few sets, should i not train so hard on each set, do fewer sets, or just carry on doing 9-12 sets with high intensity? much appreciated
When you say the last repetition should be a struggle, do you mean on your final set? I've heard that if you're working out at often as 3 times a week it's not good to push max reps until possibly the final day (so you have 2 days instead of one to recover before your next work out). Is this true? Thanks again for a great video!
does this mean doing 100+ body weight squats won't help my running? i usually do them after my runs when i'm really warmed up and will sometimes throw in some jump squats until the lactic acid builds up n i can't jump anymore lol
pisses me of that there still running those high reps plastic weight classes, the gyms are just contributing to the confusion and frustration of the uneducated which is the majority of the gym population.
@mattyoung92 but i do understand that that's not what people think about when they take those classes, and they think they're gonna get "toned" by doing them
Well iam a personal trainer and I totally agree with this video,Yuri is a Master in health and fitness,hes the real deal!!! 5 stars video!If you want to get in a smarter way of training listen to what he says.Cardio is good for warm up or waste some calories but if you want to tone your body and get some streenght use weights.
I'm doing starting strength, ( female 125lbs) I've gotten great results on it, I'm now dead lifting 150lbs, which I thought was impossible after only 3 months on the program. When you lift heavy the fat really does come off. I don't know why I ever bothered with 10 pound bars or endless cardio.
Also check out the C.A.M.P. Training Program. It explains how to cycle between high volume and heavy weights phases. Periodization and Variety are the name of the game.
Great video bro!

@mattyoung92 sure those classes may seem pretty pointless, but they're usually pretty good for muscle endurance

@lakrs83423 what's the point of muscle endurance? If you're a runner and want more endurance then run. Lifting light does nothing.
