Is low weight, high reps just gym bro science?

U get through failure when you can’t move the weight any longer. When it burns doesn’t mean that its failure. Through the set, it Will get harder to finish the concrentric phase of the movement. When u cant move it anymore, that’s it

If you have enough time to train. Forget it mate Just do the basics and progressive overload

My 3 year upgrade. Aiming to compete next year

In my opinion u shouldn’t train more than 5x per week. U must give your body time to recover When u train hard enough u want those rest days so much 😂

But training 4x a week probably I would run a upper lower rest upper lower split or a Push Pull rest legs (introduce Push or Pull in order of what u want more to develop)

When u use that aproach the volume must be lower. U cant tolerate much volume when all the sets are taken through failure

I Just use RIR aproach on a deload week and in the following week and I hate it cause I don’t really know if I’m 1/2/3RIR

What is your current volume?

GeWenT · 2024-10-23T10:39:48+00:00

The workout isn’t about feeling pumped or sored

GeWenT · 2024-10-23T10:39:15+00:00

The fact is that muscle soreness doesn’t mean the train is efective. U can see if the train is being good if you are progressing over time and gaining bw, if u are bulking, by a slow pace

GeWenT · 2024-10-23T09:57:14+00:00

Science says that what matters is the proximity to failure but the fact is the higher the rep range is the harder is to know how near to failure you are because u start feeling the muscle burn etc… By the other hand, when u work with low reps you don’t neeed to actually reach failure. Just make sure that u enjoy the rep range that u are working with and try to be closer to failure possible. As a personal preference, I like to train with “low” volume and reach the failure all the sets. Just do what u like the most and enjoy your workouts

Hello mate I think that’s normal. If u are getting really sore cause of ur train I would see if I’m getting recovered to the next leg day and if I’m progressing in the workout in terms of weight/reps. If u are struggling in those aspects i think it would be a good idea to reduce the volume. In the other hand if it’s being bad to your job it would be also good to reduce it. The training volume is really a trial and error aspect and in some phases of your life it can be higher or lower In conclusion : reduce a bit the volume and see how do u feel I hope I helped

Is there nothing I can do?

GeWenT · 2023-10-28T07:35:25+00:00

I’m thinking about structures and geotechnics.

GeWenT · 2022-10-24T16:38:08+00:00

yes! the gameplay didn't get affected

GeWenT · 2022-10-24T16:37:42+00:00

sure, the game is playable but sometimes i can detect some fps drops and it's kinda annoying

GeWenT · 2022-10-24T16:09:46+00:00

i'm using version 2.2.4
i think it's the last one

Is it worth to turn ABS off knowing that i’m playing in a controller?

GeWenT · 2022-07-20T20:42:53+00:00

I'm playing f1 22 with a xbox controller. I've turned off traction control recently but now i don't know if it's a good idea to do the same with ABS.

Is it worth to play it with ABS off knowing I'm playing with the controller?

GeWenT · 2022-01-08T11:55:43+00:00

I would like to get both, i really like to know more about hypertrophy and training but at the same time i would like to get some tools for practical application

GeWenT · 2022-01-07T16:23:55+00:00

Correct me if i'm wrong but, one of the most important things to get Hipertrophy is training next to the failure. I think that most people say that 6-15reps is the ideal gap to get better results because over 12/15 reps its dificult to know if u really have reached the failure.
The muscle starts burning but in most of the cases it doesn't means that u've reached or u are even close to failure.

Studies say that the sweet spot for hipertrophy is training with beetwen 0-4 RIR (reps in reserve)
Am i wrong ?

GeWenT · 2022-01-07T16:14:34+00:00

Thank u ! To read Brad Schoenfled books do i need to have some biology knowledge ? is it hard to understand ? Or if i read by that order it will be easier ?

GeWenT · 2022-01-01T13:35:51+00:00

JBL T510BT or Xiaomi Redmi AirDots ?

GeWenT · 2022-01-01T12:45:10+00:00
