If I could only do 8 reps last week, but this week I can do 9, then I've already gotten stronger. I need to do those 9 reps so that next week, maybe I can do 10. But what if I can't do 9 reps this week? How do I add a rep if I can't add a rep?
TY for this video man, made this concept a lot easier to understand
I usually go heavy on arms and don’t get sore. Yesterday I did half reps and dropped the weight. Doubled the reps. I AM SORE AS A MOFO today. Less weight more reps less injuries 🎉❤
Well explained
You are leaning back in your deadlift 💀 wrong wrong and wrong
Hii
Great insight
Chills? Is that you?
Bandana guy (ALPHA), you make weigth lifting easy during these videos 👍
You should sell the muscle monster tank tops you wear in the videos on your website.
IMO It’s not as simple as doing 4 sets of 8 reps, when I fail at 8 reps on the first set, l can’t do that many on the next and even less after that
So I work in the range as mentioned in the vid, trying to increase reps each set and session, but if I fail exactly at the minimum rep on set 2 or 3, I lower the weight on the next set
Another component that it's possible to vary is the number of rest days between hitting the same body parts. Giving the body the occasional extra-day's opportunity to do a full "expansion" of capability from the extended rest means having more muscle and glycogen to power through the next few, shorter rest-period cycles. But never diminish your protein intake, no matter the length of rest.
I have1.4 pound plates. I found that using them there is always progressive overload.
WIth some exercises i feel like adding extra reps is way better than adding weight. at least for me. bench pressing for example really feels weird when i surpass a certain point, like i can get the weight up but it doesnt feel like a specific muscle is working. i rather leave the weight constant and add reps because i really get the mind muscle connection and feel my chest working
absolutely I find it helpful 🙏
شكرا لك
I typically do 8-12 reps over 3-5 sets. Once I'm hammering out 5×12's without an issue for a couple weeks, I bump the weight up.
More reps, then more weight, then more reps, then more weight, then more reps, then more weight, see how this works? Very good
The info is always good but the music and the bandana dude make the vids great. Useful information disseminated in a fun way.
Very well explained. Thank you

Thanks
Great info!👌🏽
Like your voice in this video, easier to listen to, thanks for adjusting!❤
The instrumental sounds like a GTA song
Great points! The 2.5lb plates are my favorite for micro loading free weight and pin loaded machines or cables contributing to progressive overload.
actually I'm lossing fat und gain muscles with BFR
If your time is precious – add weight
If you love spending all your free time in the gym – add reps/sets
