Great addition to the channel. Love to see a podcast about breaking plateaus for advanced lifters.

[@dozermendoza]

I simply use different rep goals for Top Set. 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, RM logged and undulate that however I feel. For the Back Off Set, depending on how advanced and experienced you are: Back off Set to failure or 1RIR, followed by intensification methods such as Rest Pause, Myo-Reps, forced reps with partner, negatives, ect... I work out alone, so 3 Rest Pause with 1RIR then 15 breaths, or Myo-Reps.

Training around injuries, how to do it, when not to do it. Cuz I just randomly developed a shoulder pain from nowhere, maybe overloading the joint

[@johnjewett7970]

Oh this topic is great and never ending lol!

[@john_m3619]

Sounds like an overuse injury. I would take a deload and change exercises. Don’t do anything that hurts and maybe change your rep range to around 12-20 reps. It could also be your exercise execution. Try filming some of your lifts and assess from there

[@GuaridoNutri]

Always an awesome listen, thanks for bringing JJ and Luke!!!!!

[@johnjewett7970]

thanks for the view

[@tomcorr2332]

I tend to use the "top set, back off set" or "top set, intensifier set" on compound movements only (and to those that make the most sense) this with the purpose/focus of getting strong, the rest of my movements are pretty much straight sets of 12-15 reps, I don't know if that's a good method but it's currently working for me. Great content!

[@johnjewett7970]

It can be great for getting strength too, hit a heavy load for strength adaptation and then lighten up from there.

This show should be called “2 Wise Bald Eagles”… these guys legit couldn’t look any more like Bald Eagles

[@raydensky2048]

Topic idea: How to use T3 in a prep and most importantly how and when to taper/cycle off again to ensure thyroid function stays good?

[@naskrajuciszy]

Luke is incorrect stating that two people taking squats to failure at different loads will have a different level of stimulus. Assuming both trainees take the set to similar proximity to failure and have the same movement mechanics they will experience very similar hypertrophy stimulus regardless of load. I'd even say that the less experienced lifter will have a greater stimulus further away from failure.

FFS... Set 1 Set 2 Move onto next exercise.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@calumscotland3511]

Great podcast

[@Shittygenetics]

Great episode

[@johnjewett7970]

thank you

[@watsonkushmaster3067]

What about potentiation? If you do heavier set first, you will have more reps in a back down set...at least thats what i found

[@kfcmusicfitness]

Figure out your body, not what’s “popular”, stop overthinking and just do the work that needs to be done

[@user-xs4rm1ti8f]

Ill do you one better. Top set and back off set is the one of the worst things to happen in Bodybuilding. Here to build physiques not PRs.

[@johnjewett7970]

I think we get hit with both extremes of chasing strength but then guys chasing perfect form and no effort. There is a balance to strike

[@user-xs4rm1ti8f]

@@johnjewett7970 thanks for replying homie.

[@nboss968]

Top set backoff has nothing to do with PRs it's about progression. You should never compromise form.
