Ironic having that mug on the desk whilst talking about what you believe despite the science to the contrary.
If I add 5lb a workout to my overhead press I would be pressing over 500lb in a year! Really?
Sorry for the noob question. But how does it work in KG? It's not adding 5 KG each time is it? I am just starting with weights for the first time in my life.
I really wish this worked for me. I can’t lift heavy without getting hurt. I was incredibly roughy on my joints and body as a whole most my life, and they just can’t handle it anymore. My wrist, elbows, shoulder, and massively lower back are just constant failure points. It’s not bad form, or lack of rest. My body just can’t fucking handle it I’ve tried and tried and tired so hard
Dave Palumbo recomends 4-6 reps as well for maximum mass gains. Dorian Yates used to go down to 4 reps on his working sets as well, it is written down in his training log. I am wondering who came up with 8-12 reps. Must be Weider with its Weider principles
These videos changed my life. I’m stronger and look better than ever thanks rip!
But if you’re doing 8, 10, or 12 reps, you can still follow the thing of adding 5 pounds every workout…
If anything I’d think you’d be able to go longer without plateauing since you wouldn’t be as close to your limit.
If heavy weight matters most, then doing sets of 1 should be best, but I’ve done that and strength barely went up at all
This is like listening to Dave Ramsay
Gallon of milk and fahves
Then 5 reps is bs too, why not do just 2 reps?
Pretty simple workout hard eat a lot of protein and rest well. Nothing fancy
Eat a right foods, drink plenty of water, milk and train hard three times a week, run and sprints a few times a week and never neglect bodyweight exercises. Plus Tire Flips, Sand Bag drags and carries and farmers walks.
if your benching without a spotter though, would you try to judge a margin of 1 more rep based on sets of 5? wouldn't it be safer to go for more reps so you could see failure coming? when starting out I found it hard to know if I had 1 more or even 3 more in the tank…
Damn this is a retarded podcast
I know tens suck but why 5? Especially in the deadlift. It seems that sets of 3 are better so that you stay out of the strength endurance zone.
Do i do 5 sets and reps? and keep it the same weight the whole workout or do I put on more weight each set?
As much crap as Rip gets, this will get you stronger faster! The key is to go up incrementally if you are intermediate or advanced as going up by 5lbs every workout isn't always feasible! Smaller jumps with progressive overload is a win-win combo!
But you have skinny guys who don't weigh 200lbs dead lifting 600+…
But then why not threes or fours? 3 sets of 8 or 6 sets of 4 is basically the same number of reps as 5X5. Plus, you would probably be lifting even heavier. More weight is better. Isn't that what you're saying?
He left out a big part of Dorian Yates formula……
Moderate weight correct from with slow negative, Older people will get hurt handling heavy weight. Walk 20-30 minutes 3mph 3 percent incline. You will look great and recover well.
By that logic powerlifters would be more muscular than bodybuilders…
Eat your veggies and drink milk
This advice is so obvious it gets overlooked. Do you know of anyone that can squat 405, that has thin undeveloped legs?
Bertil Fox did sets of 10.. I think it depends., for Example you do 5×5 and after 2 years do 400×5 reps.. then after you try to take 400 to 10 reps.. reps… you will be bigger
