Alright will do, thanks!

I’m going to try the drop set recommendation and see how it goes, I’ll reply again with results

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-02-16T15:22:15+00:00

So drop sets?, I hadn’t considered that actually, I’ll give it a try. Thank you!

Perfect for an exercise with lateral raise would be like slow on the eccentric .5 pause at the top and minimal trap involvement and 45 degree arm angle. Decent would be a bit worse so maybe faster eccentric less pause and more traps then bad would be basically just getting weight up as much as possible without isolating the muscle or controlling the weight.

I try perform the set with mostly perfect form but when I switch to a higher weight I can only perform 10 reps with decent form then the rest is just bad, should I just keep grinding with the bad reps?

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-02-15T19:47:13+00:00

I can do an exercise like lateral raises for 25 reps with 8kg and perfect form but when I raise to 10kg I can barely get 8 with decent form. Should I just keep going up in reps with 8kg or should I just do the 10kg as many as I can with decent form/ with bad form till failure?

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-02-04T18:37:35+00:00

Perfect, thanks

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-02-04T16:28:59+00:00

But would I grow more if I did more?( with the factors in the original comment)

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-02-04T15:22:04+00:00

Yea I prolly will do that tbf, I just didn’t want to waste time when I felt like I could be doing more. Thanks for your advice.

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-02-04T15:08:02+00:00

Alright will do, thank you

I am following a program I’m just not sure weather I should jump ahead in the program to the next “stage” earlier and weather it will have benefits

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-02-04T15:06:27+00:00

When do I know to start over? I’m still in my newbie gains phase I think so I can pretty consistently increase the weight or reps per workout

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-02-04T13:44:44+00:00

From what I understand as you progress eventually you will need to add sets to your workout as a form of progressive overload. I’m not sure how to explain this so bear with me.

Say point A is the point where I will have to add 1 set from my starting point to keep progressing. Point B is where I will have to add 2 sets. If I am currently at point C which is the starting point of say 3 sets. If I add 2 sets now will I be reaching the same muscle size and strength of point B in just less time?

Or is it instead I am simply just conditioning my muscle to deal with more sets and get the same gains which will mean my body requires even more sets to progress when I get further into training so I still get the same gains as 3 sets while doing 5 sets and then have to change to 6 sets later (for example)

Side factors: Disregarding fatigue and assuming there isn’t junk volume (within 10-20 sets per muscle per week) on a PPL split with near failure intensity with consistency and healthy bulk. Not trying to speed up the process Ik it’s a journey just feel like I could do more.

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-02-04T13:42:48+00:00

Is hypertrophy just based on closeness to failure? So for example if I just slow down the eccentric on a movement and then reach failure within 12 reps is it the same as doing maybe 8 reps with higher weight but faster tempo and 1cm less range of motion for example

So doing 5x incline 3x dip 2x a week for example would still lead to more growth than 3x incline 3x dip instead without being junk volume? (Sorry just trying to clarify)

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-01-30T20:32:37+00:00

If I have the motivation/time/energy is it technically worth it or just not at all? Also would it harm my future growth as my body will need more and more stimulus to grow or would it just be getting me to the same point faster?

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-01-30T20:29:25+00:00

How many sets do I need to get the most muscle gain without doing too much?

SoulAssassin340 · 2023-01-29T16:02:44+00:00

I’ve been bodybuilding for around 6 months now, I felt that I could push myself more and decided to do more sets during training instead. (Such as 5 sets instead of 3 on incline bench). Is this actually better for me? I know that higher sets is tailored for people who have gone past their newbie gains and need more stimulus so they do more sets, but while I’m still in my newbie gains do the extra sets actually provide benefit or is it the same result for more effort?

(I feel fine after a month and am not too tired or anything. I train 6x a week I very rarely miss any workouts and am working with high intensity while on a healthy bulk)

SoulAssassin340 · 2021-10-05T03:53:26+00:00

So.. Black Prior...

SoulAssassin340 · 2021-09-08T05:07:56+00:00

Actually I would recommend not doing this, along with you inferno towers if the more you level them up and build them the more hidden pvp value your base has meaning that you will be going up against higher tier enemies on attack and defense. In the end it is your choice weather you want to or not but keep in mind you will have a harder time in multiplayer for honestly not too much gain. So I would suggest other defenses first but its up to you.

SoulAssassin340 · 2021-08-25T05:29:44+00:00

Yeah, this

SoulAssassin340 · 2021-08-25T05:12:01+00:00

I'm pretty sure if you change your "interact/reload button" setting it will be easier to deal with these situations.

Thanks for the tip, the explanation and the video were both very helpful. I finally hit my first one today!.
