Hey! Have you considered - fast abs magic (search on google)? Ive heard some great things about it and my sister got hot Six pack abs and lost a truck load of of fat with it.
lol .. this is amazing. After about four years worth of a learning curve in which i discovered that what your saying is true, I only just started to really gain any mass. Bravo. But I wish I had found this before now.
and this video is true,you have to train both ways. but i think you should go 1month hi reps 1 month low. when u do low reps you need more sets(4-6 per exercise). hi reps less sets (2-4)
i would go 2 months low 1 month hi reps. but maybe it all depends on your goals.
What about this....5 set of 25 reps to failure + 5 set of 10-6 rep to "non failure" your body will recovery extremely fast and you'll see muscle really grow
You don't want to do either low reps or high reps, as high reps(more than 12) with low weight are for circuit training or fat burning, and low reps(6 or less) with high weight are for powerlifting. You want to do moderate weight with moderate reps (8-10) for 3 to 4 sets each exercise, as this has been proven to engage hypertrophy or muscle growth the fastest.
hey man thanks for the vid it helped alot especially the nutritional vid but iv got a question would you recommend performing dropsets on every excercise you do??
hey i got a question, i try using around 30 pound weights for my arms and will typically do 20 reps and 5 sets. For a 16 year old what kind of weight training would this be? i mean like hi/low rep and hi/low weight. Im trying to see if i can work myself up into doing a hi weight and hi rep workout to maximize endurance/energy and strength
hey can i just ask what you mean by 4 full body workouts per week? i train each muscle group once a week, and train 3 times a week. am i doing something wrong? should be doing every group 4 times per week?
i just had my body stats done today, and have 3 months to see how much i can change. so need all the help i can get :-)
@JohnDaniB rep= repetitions which means how many times you lift a weight. if you do 8 reps of bicep curls that means you moved your arm up and down 8 times. high reps is 12-15 low reps is 7 and down
I have to disagree sir. The best way to gain mass is to isolate each muscle group and ALWAYS do your reps to failure. ( Of course everyone is different). Then every month switch up your reps. -4-6, 8-10, 10-12. And of course eating your face off with chicken, turkey, almonds, eggwhites, protein shake (before and after the gym), and eating before you sleep.
It's already proven that lifting in the lower rep ranges build the most amount of lean dense muscle. Pumping out marathon reps will have minimal benefits to maximal lean gains.
I never had joint problems since starting weights in 2002 when I was16+continued doing so non-stop until spring 2008 when I had to study for my final year college exams. When I went back training I dropped the weight alot (maybe not as much as I should have) in most exercises+went back to my normal workout routine but started getting a lot of joint pain especially in my elbows+forearms. I now use really low weights eg bench-press with 10 kg dumbells but the pain continues today.Any advice?
The Drop/Strip set isnt that the best way to build mass. Because you drop the weight after your first set and immidiately keep going, you do quiet a lot of reps. Do you hit both fibers efficiently then?
@IMnotSAS get bent! i bet your in your 20s, have taken anabolic steroids and had quick gains and think you know everything. but guess what your heart and kidneys are gonna pack up soon...goodbye
Listen fag, my family has great genetics, my dad was 220 pounds solid muscle and was lifting 140 above his head in the 1950s at a time when the heavyweight champ was 185 pounds. Dont tell me about steroids, i dont need them, they are for normal faggy folk like you.
@Millzy20 Throwing in some variation with higher reps, different lifting tempos etc... can be a great way to avoid "plateaus" in our strength and muscle gains. For pure muscle mass, I'd recommend sticking to maybe 4 sets heavy (rather than 1 set heavy and two sets light). But if aiming for strength WITH more muscle endurance and fat loss, your approach definitely has its place. It really just depends on the specific goals of the training program. Thanks for your question!
@Stifledsubmission By 'total body workouts', we're talking about doing a complete body training sessions each and every workout. (In other words, both Upper AND Lower EACH training session). Yeah - the exercises you mention are a good example of this approach. Thanks.
@skinnygainmuscle ,you mean training the whole body in one workout session?legs chest back arms etc?Charles Poliquin advices strongly against that kind of training.what about all the muscular guys getting huge on body split workouts.there are many many examples of them.full body leads in many cases to overtraining.especially when being a hardgainer.
what do u mean by totaly body workouts. .Do u mean plyometics? or do u mean lworkingout ur upper body and lower body, in the same day, with exercises such as, bench, miliarys curls, rows, and tricept extensions for upper body, and squats and lunges for lower body?

Low reps from 6 to 8 did nothing for my muscle gain goals. just strength. High reps build better mass for me. 15 to 20.

@mark88bon Sure, drop/strip sets can work are also a good way to target all the muscle fibers - I include them in my own workouts occasionally.

@mark88bon I realize this is an old comment but w/e...
You can't say what's best or what's worst, I used to do pyramids which works well for others and it wasn't getting the job done for me..
then i did drop sets and notice much more mass and strength gain, for others it might be different
hell, compound sets even work for alot of people too it varies and i think it's important to try everything before you stick to it.

low reps with heavy weight can be done on bend press, machine pull. Impossible to do pullover with heavy weight
vincent7125 10 months ago
What do you think about doing a full for out with heavy weight, 4-8 reps. then burning out at the end with 15-20 plus reps, say 2 sets?
