“Milking that weight” is such a great hypertrophy tip. I prefer waving my primary compounds, but all of my accessory variations I stay with each weight for at least 3 weeks before adding either weight or reps. It feels like I’m solidifying my progress that way instead of it being a constant battle for “more”.
@noahgearhart40982 жыл бұрын
I think this is a really good idea. What people don’t realize is you can make gains at the same weight and sometimes better gains. Also using heavier weight is much more fatiguing and I find if I try to increase weight or reps too quickly I will be overly fatigued and have to deload early to feel like a normal human being which ultimately means wasted gains.
@Soccasteve2 жыл бұрын
@@noahgearhart4098 Took me way too long to realize this lol. Always pushing for progress is such common advice (because it sounds reasonable) but the problem with training that way is that it results in stalling and regression. Now I don't even worry about weight or reps or push for PRs. If a PR is there great, but otherwise you should just be pushing for sets close to failure and slowly, over time, your lifts should increase. If they're not improving in some way on a month to month basis there could be a problem, otherwise just keep at it.

Best trainer in my opinion would be Josh Bryant. Hands down, if you argue with that look him up on youtube first and listen to him. Also its a common misconception that someone on steroids has to train much differently than a natural lifter. They can do the same routine and benefit, however the natural guy has to do MORE work than someone on steroids. For recovery and this is good for a natural, its better to stay moving than sit on your ass. Like low intensity stuff on off days like a light jog, rucking (walking with a weighted backpack), etc. Also to increase your work load capacity you can progressively add gpp work such as sled drag/pulls, burpees, sprints, tire flips, farmer walks, battle rope.

1:47 You can do the same weight and reps/sets for the multiple sessions and still make gains because progressive overload is the evidence of gains not what requires to drives them every session. In other words as long as you do enough volume, intensity and exertion(aka train hard enough) you will provide enough stimulus and ultimately achieve progressive overload. Progressive overload is the goal so in the long run you want to achieve progressive overload but you dont always need to add anything from session to session just to do "more".

@gandoaesthetics42212 жыл бұрын
Nice points, I really appreciated your first point as I feel like it’s not really addressed by the KZbin fitness community, I think we get so wrapped up in the numbers with progressive overload that it turns into “let’s see the weight/reps go up at all costs,” ppl need to remember that getting stronger outside of novice gains takes time and that there could be underlying reasons for not seeing the weight go up (ex:overtraining) . Overall great video, and congrats on the noticeable gains over the last year 👍🏽
@Soccasteve2 жыл бұрын
So true. I got caught up in the "increase my lifts at all costs" mindset and you can hit "PRs" like this for a while, especially if you rotate through different movements, do very few sets and and lower frequency (to stay as fresh as possible) but eventually you stall HARD and regress. I also noticed I just wasn't looking very muscular despite hitting these PRs. PRs are great, but they have to come without forcing them to. Good hypertrophy training is basically unpeaked strength progression in a moderate to higher rep range.

@vercolit2 жыл бұрын
Completely resonate with number 6. One of my biggest advice to lifters starting to get into intermediate territory is to stop chasing PRs but chase quality stimulus. I haven't tested my true bench press, deadlidt or squat 1RM in a few months, and I don't care, because my working weights are going up faster than before. I'd get hyper-focused on hitting a certain number on a certain day, which in the long term didn't matter at all, especially when considering my ambitions that are far from what I can currently do. I want to be an elite natural, and hit a 180kg paused bench, a 220 atg squat and a 300kg conventional deadlift. I'm very far off of that, only being at about 110-115kg paused bench, 170kg squat and 205-210kg deadlift. So who cares if I hit a 2.5kg PR on that day because I felt great? I'd have to sacrifice some stimulus to be able to test it putting me slightly further away from my goals. Now, I just don't care about it and maximise volume, intensity and frequency on good exercises and think about what to do in order to improve my long-term progress. Always have to think long term once you're past the honeymoon period of adding 5kg to your deadlift every week.

Bulking til the end of the year lets go!!! Hopefully i can execute this properly. Bulking - more size - higher calorie maintenance - higher calories when you go into a cut = not feeling tortured once you get into a cutting phase 💯

I am on an eternal bulk...arms are at 18 inches, bf probably around 23%, have a super hot gf and don't care about abs. No normal person sees me as fat and I am happy, big and strong af.

I stagnated with my progress for the past year because of the lack of protein in my diet and inconsistent training sessions which were caused by my lack of motivation when seeing no progress, it became a loop. It's pretty hard to get even the bare minimum of protein since I'm 17 and have to rely on my mom who still holds outdated opinions on it, but i am trying to at least be more consistent and not lose all my progress

training with great form, reps and sets getting best muscle mind connections build muscle... I have been doing this over 50 years... we all get weaker as we get older... at least i did... But i still have good muscle size not far off from when i was in my prime 30 years ago... i use much less weight on most movements... plus train less so i don't destroy the muscle i have... there is a lot of little tweaks we must make to stay fit as we age...

stronglifts 5x5 really beat me down when I couldn't add 5 pounds to my lifts every week, I assumed that I was weak and not lifting right, this really cleared things up. I'll be a lot more patient in progressive overload for now on lol.

I had to move off stronglifts due to OHP. I found GZCLP better then eventually got hooked on using Greg Nuckols 28 free programs but stopped due to covid closing gyms. But id look into those 2, Stronglifts is great initially especially at keeping someone motivated to keep going to gym.
