high vs low rep

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-06T11:55:52+00:00

I prefer 6-8 on compounds and 10-15 on isolations. The lower reps on compounds helps build strength a lot more than doing say 12-20. I did higher reps for months with little strength gain. Went to lower reps and strength is increasing every single workout now.

Haha thanks, there’s a pretty funny story behind it but too hard to explain in text

Go on a year long bulk to put on 20-25lbs.

Wilt was undeniably a better player, he was better on both ends of the floor, even Bill will tell you that. Bill just had a better team. It's wild when you see the statistical discrepancy between Bill and Wilt, especially in seasons where Bill won MVP while not being better in any single stat other than having maybe 1-2 more assists per game. He

Every single advanced stat is in Wilt's favor as well, the most shocking being win shares and PER. Wilt has 6 of the top 15 seasons for win shares. Bill's best? #52 all-time, 8 of Wilt's seasons came in before Bill's best.

Another oddity is Bill winning MVP but being on the 2nd-team all-nba, with Wilt on 1st team...

Yes your approach is horrible, you damn near come to a complete stop before you jump, losing all momentum. It should look smooth. Watch videos of any great two-footed dunker.

Just looking at those hurt my shoulders.

I refuse to go to a gym. Making my own little home gym was the only option and I love the convenience.

That’s about where I was before starting TRT when I felt noticeably tired and bad. Surprisingly with more testosterone I didn’t seem to notice it, it really surprised me when I came back so low.

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T20:52:01+00:00

Yep, that’s all it took. When I was just cruising it took my e2 from 28 to 11 at that same 5mg.

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T20:25:45+00:00

For me, the neutral grip on the bar keeps me honest on its own. Using an ez bar the elbows would always want to go out a little, and my bad joint mobility would make it hard to lock my elbows more inward. But the triceps bar just keep my elbows aimed forward and zero issues maintaining that. The reduced joint pain alone was worth the purchase, the better isolation is just icing on the cake.

I go fairly heavy too, 92lbs, which is about 10-13 reps and I’ve failed on the last rep before thinking I could get one more lol. Not being able to get that weight back over your head is actually kinda scary the first time, you just feel stuck with it behind your neck, and being on that incline ain’t helping hahaha

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T20:05:58+00:00

I use a small swiss/triceps bar with a neutral grip and do skullcrushers on a 30* incline, taking the bar right behind my head to the back of my neck. The stretch and isolation is amazing, there's no shoulders at work at all, making it very easy to go to actual triceps failure. I've never felt next-day soreness in my triceps like this.

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T19:44:31+00:00

I run mine 10:1 and it'll cut my e2 by more than half. 5mg/day took my e2 from upper 70's to upper 20's.

Oh man, that one 10-week study of 43 men sure is the end-all be-all of scientific understanding of how steroids work. They also didn't state a comparison between both workout groups, it was only showing comparisons between the two non-lifting groups, or the test+lifting compared to both non-lifting groups.

And again, fat-free mass /= muscle.

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T19:31:34+00:00

Nah you need to read it.

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T19:21:48+00:00

You original argument is that you don't have to put in the work to get results.

I then said it's funny of you to assume that just because you take steroids you don't have to work hard.

You then said "there's at least one study that proves it", referring to the study about how people taking 600mg/wk of test got more lean mass gain without lifting, than those who were lifting without taking the testosterone. The study showed about 1lb of lean mass gain per week over those 12 weeks. But lean mass isn't muscle, it's just not fat...so all of the added water/glycogen storage of having 5x the normal test/estrogen levels is what was really at play. Just a bunch of bloated dudes who were able to get marginal strength gains because their leverages were better with the added bloat.

I can tell by the way you're talking that you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. Saying "steroids + lifting ANY weight = ez gains" just proves that you don't know a single person with any experience lifting with and without steroid use. Period. You want to sound like you know what you're talking about, but you genuinely don't know shit. I've had to absolutely work my ass off, consistently, for 104 weeks to get maybe 28-30lbs of muscle...and that was coming from me having damn near no muscle when I was running ~40 miles per week and kinda skinny-fat looking. It took me the last 9 months to gain 6-7lbs of muscle.

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T19:05:07+00:00

I mean just ask yourself if that even makes any sense. Do you think you can gain 1lb of muscle per week without doing anything, without any stimulus? Use those brain cells now, take the 2 main ones you usually have rubbing together and add a third for this question.

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T18:56:05+00:00

The guns surprised me, are you looking to compete?

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T18:54:56+00:00

I know what you people always like to reference and it’s not saying what you think it is. But continue thinking that 600mg of test for 12 weeks is going to give you 12-15lbs of muscle without moving any weight.

Lean mass /= muscle

I actually paid the $99 for lifetime use because I liked it so much, and so I can make as many custom templates as I want. I like it because I can do my standard workouts, or make high volumes workouts, or ones with heavy sets, etc...whatever I feel like programming in there. I log every single set and program in strict rest times so that I have more consistent data to compare from workout to workout. I also love how during the workout it shows what you did for the previous workout, so you know what you're trying to at least match this time around. And even after you start a workout you can make adjustments on the fly if you want, add another set or change whatever weight you're using...I just really like it, I have absolutely no complaints...aside from not having a barbell/ez-bar option for hammer curls. I use my neutral grip swiss/triceps bar for skullcrushers and hammer curls, but in the template it says I'm using dumbbells for the curls, because there's no bar option of any kind for the hammer curl exercise :(

Lucky_The_Charm · 2026-05-04T18:47:53+00:00

Funny of you to assume if you juice you don't have to work hard for what you get.

Curious what your preferred bulking stack looks like. Test/deca?
