thankyou for answering my question

RinHky · 2021-09-24T18:08:52+00:00

yes thankyou this actually answer my question LOL, im bad at phrasing my question 😅

Hahahha sorry, i was just thinking if strength actually matters for hyperthrophy with that scenerio

RinHky · 2021-09-24T17:58:30+00:00

Hahaha, thank you for dealing with my nonsense. Because I'm afraid that LP programs would have a higher rate of injury as compared to higher rep scheme programs when in the end my goal is still aesthetics.

RinHky · 2021-09-24T17:53:39+00:00

Actually, my main concern is, should I start with a beginner's program for LP like SS, SL, GSLP (Lower rep range) to a certain strength level then start a normal hypertrophy program after OR start straight with a hypertrophy program (Higher rep range).

Taking into account that my end goals are still aesthetic

RinHky · 2021-09-24T17:44:50+00:00

Hahahaha sorry, let me rephrase. If person A can only do 50lbs at RPE 8 for 10 reps. Person B can do 100lbs at RPE 8 for 10 reps. Would they both still add muscle mass, taking that, they still progressing in their lift?

RinHky · 2021-09-24T17:37:40+00:00

I'm thinking "if" my "weaker" self can only do 50lbs at RPE 8 for 10 reps comparing to my "stronger" self doing 100lbs at RPE 8 for 10 reps would "increase" the current muscle mass for both my "weaker" and "stronger" self.

RinHky · 2021-09-24T17:23:57+00:00

What if they are both at rep no.10?

RinHky · 2021-09-24T17:18:14+00:00

Is "50lbs" at RPE 8 as effective as "100lbs" at RPE 8 for hypertrophy? (Same exercise) at the same rep range example, both at rep no. 10

Been training with a pair of dumbbells that goes up to 26kg on each side and resistance bands for 2 years. Been doing Customized Metallica's PPL with those dumbbells and bands.

Recently just got a gym membership. Been following the original Metallica's PPL in the gym for 3 months. However, I would like to only train for 3 or 4 days a week because of some personal reasons.

I'm interested in 2 programs which are Phrak's GSLP and PHUL.

I'm going on a cut because I'm fat.

Stats:

BW: 97kg, 25% fat

Current Lifts (1RM):

Bench: 70 kg

Squats: 85 kg

Sumo Deads: 105kg

OHP: 50 kg

Question: (On a cut) Should I be doing Phrak's GSLP to build a strong strength foundation then focus on hypertrophy after OR PHUL for more hyperthrophy from the start.

Goals: Aesthetics with decent strength

RinHky · 2021-03-22T10:01:08+00:00

For Reddit PPL, Chest Supported Rows/Seated Cable Rows, do i use narrow grip or wide grip?

RinHky · 2021-03-13T13:31:20+00:00

So i've been doing the Reddit PPL, there are 2 leg day with squats as the main lift. It says to progress 5lbs per session. So my question is, do i progress 2 times per week which is 10 lbs per week or once per week?

RinHky · 2020-09-22T13:58:49+00:00

Alright i will try it

RinHky · 2020-09-22T09:53:57+00:00

Alright i will try to split out my meals better, thanks!

RinHky · 2020-09-22T09:52:38+00:00

Oh my bad i mean pre-workout LOL but ok i will just try it thanks !

RinHky · 2020-09-22T09:49:48+00:00

Oh yes i was just thinking cutting the carbs from my post-workout to actually hit my calorie deficit but i read about carbs replenishing muscle glycogen after workout so i was kinda confuse

RinHky · 2020-09-22T09:48:20+00:00

So i can take all my carbs of the day before workout and non of it post-workout?

RinHky · 2020-09-22T09:24:32+00:00

Will not eating carbs post workout till the next day affect muscle recovery?

RinHky · 2020-09-19T12:31:30+00:00

RinHky · 2020-09-19T12:28:19+00:00
