  1. The thing is if your severely lacking in muscle wouldn’t it be better to focus on hypertrophy for a while then resume with strength training as hypertrophy training will aid with building some strength but not to the same degree as strength training

  2. If only if there were trials where people periodized like this and compared it to a group that stuck to a moderate rep range…,oh, wait, those exist, and there was no benefit for more fatigue 🤡. Progressive overload with lower reps isn't progressive overload at higher reps. If you want to progressively overload within a specific rep range, you stick to the rep range 🤡.

  3. I just came to this conclusion about 2 weeks ago, thanks to all of the YouTube videos on bodybuilding I've been watching. It only made sense that every now and again I should do 4-6 rep sets with high weight, and then do some drop sets to get 10 eps. So if I can only do 4 reps of 225 on bench, I'll try do the other 6 with 205 asap. Basically just training with as much weight as possible on the first working set of each workout, going to failure-ish to basically PR every time I go to the gym, but mostly just to find my new limits. 💪

  4. Progressively overloading isn't to see the numbers go up, for that do solely strength training. Progressive overload is to make sure your muscles are getting enough stimulus. It's just a way of increasing stimulus as your muscles get more and more used to stimulus. If you're training to or close to failure, you're getting enough stimulus for that set (after that you apply a correct amount of volume). Yes, strength training will help you progressively overload, as in, it'll allow those numbers to go up, but the numbers going up doesn't mean your muscles getting bigger necessarily. If you want hypertrophy, train for what makes your muscles grow, not for what makes the numbers higher.

  5. Or do i compound lift 1-3 setts 4-6 reps like deadlift, ( 3-5 min break) the train pullups , row , Shrugs like a bodybuilder 8-12 reps 60-90 sec break, Close to failur traning
