HEAVY VS LIGHT WEIGHT For Muscle Growth (THE TRUTH!)

[@02stampede]

This is the best advice that I would give my 20 year old self at 37. I ruined several joints lifting too heavy over the years.

[@jeepncj7]

Ha! Same thing here at 36. Just within the last year have deviated from mostly heavy and tweaked my routines from watching this channel. Sage advice from Ryan.

[@EJ_Red]

I'm 24 and the most important advice I would give advice I would give myself four years ago (When I started working out) is that there is a difference between using your brain and using your ego when lifting weights. I have yet to damage my joints, thankfully, but I am ashamed to say I herniated a lumbar disc back in August when doing squats.

[@mrbigbosskojak]

@@EJ_Red rest up man. You're still very young. You've tons of time to recover properly and get back at it.

[@davidgillespie4278]

You should take the joints out of your pockets before lifting, or start smoking bongs!

[@jonanbahnsen3935]

Benched 140 kg had pecs of a minor. Went to do light weights. And got my first tits in my life. Its very simple we all just over analyze it. You need to learn to adress each and every muscle you have. As soon as you do that your training will work. The amount of shoulder and tricep you can cheat with in a bench press is stunning.. bodybuilding is a sadistic/machochistic form of extreme seæf control by getting awareness of your body and then massacre it completely by bringing it to failure.

[@richardcabeza9596]

I'm older (56) and rather muscular, but I haven't had new gains in years until I followed his advice. No more tendon injuries lifting heavy weights. And don't let the lighter weights fool you, Doing 3 sets of 30 reps with a weight that causes failure around that 30 rep range is a much more intense and painful workout than my old heavy weight 10-12 rep range. Following this method, I have added almost an inch to my arms in less than 2 months. The only downside was that I had to buy larger shirts.

[@Ron-cx5ms]

Consider me convinced

[@jamesnm21]

If you want even more tricep destruction add several partial reps to the top of each full rep. By the time you've done 10 reps you'll have about 50-60 partials already on the clock. Eventually the triceps should start locking up, forcing a short rest between reps. Each subsequent rep should go up fairly easy but your arms will lock up again on the partials. This concentrates the intensity at the same spot every time and allows good form to be maintained. Then when you do subsequent sets at various angles/grips in the same manner you hit different areas of your triceps until they're toast.

Training at home with just a few dumbbells my progress is off the chart when compared to going to the gym and lifting as heavy as my ego allowed. Thank you for turning me into a stud.

[@gcasillas1213]

I can second this, except for maybe my chest not being as big as it once was. I personally found heavy weight to be the best method to a bigger chest. Other than that, I've seen amazing progress by using dumbells and resistance bands since the lockdowns started.

[@sickwilly1171]

Awesome, another stud!!! smh

[@Robert-bh2jt]

I initially panicked when gyms closed during corona pandemic. I thought I would really struggle with my 5kg dumbells to have effective workouts. I started doing full body 3 sets of 22 every day very slowly paying attention to form and I can honestly say 1 year down the line that I am in the best shape of my life.

[@jasonrich418]

Wise words here. Having trained consistently for the last 37 years, I've done unnecessary damage by losing that connection when going too heavy (eg. full pec tear, etc). Approach this craft with the long haul in mind. You want to be solid, strong and healthy enough to be doing this well into your 50's, 60's and beyond. Curb the heavy weight vanity. I know, that's not easy. But it will pay off.

If you keep using the lighter weight it will not be the same after a while. What was light in the beginning will have to get heavier over time. If you can keep going you will eventually be using a pretty high weight for these exercises. 20lb pounds will be higher over time to keep it challenging.

I'm relearning old lessons thanks to Ryan. 33 year old lifter here and been lifting pretty much continuously since age 15. Had a powerlifting phase and Oly lifting phase then a CrossFit phase from 15 to 19. CrossFit reps for speed ended up giving me a nice herniation which took me years to recover from without surgery. In the meantime, my lifting went from fun to gingerly lifting as heavy as I could without aggravating my joints TOO much. But I didn't really learn my lesson. I have always done progressive lifting schemes in terms of weight but never really enjoyed low and slow. At 33 though my body feels beat up. Mild shoulder aches, moderate back aches, hip aches are all starting to build up. I recently switched to low and slow rep schemes and I'm still getting great results but as others have said, definitely less joint pain. Low and slow is the way to go!

[@jessegentry9699]

Ryan, there are so many people that seek help. I hope you reach out to all America seeing how you teach the truth. The person that taught me was Kelly Hitchcock and he taught me your ways over 20 years ago. You DO know your business. On my jobs I've had men twice my size that were amazed what I could do. I'll be 71 in march and doing things in the gym 16 year old's through my age can't but now I only do my training at home. Thanks and don't give up on your teachings.

Man Ryan , I know you probably won't see this , but your method for using light to moderate weights is something I've had to do for my sport for about 35 years. ( Racing MX ). Along with breaking almost every single bone in my body at least once ( Some 2 - 3X ) we need to be as strong as possible , have cardio like a triathlete and the flexibility of a gymnast.

If I hit 20 first set and 18+ second set it's time to up the weight. Been doing this since october time and seen better results than in my previous 5 years weight lifting.

I want to start lifting. I think about it all the time. Im getting older 38 now and I have lost probably half the muscle mass I ever had in my earlier days. I lifted hard at times but never got in a lifestyle because of what you said, lifting like a asshole. Usually trying to impress friends or look good to those around me. Would love to double my size and fill out my clothes well, sometimes even as a man I can get discouraged on how a tshirt looks or feels on me.

I’ve started using DUP. I train one on one off and I used to love Dorian Yates early style of training using his 3x week split. But training that heavy and intensely especially when your hitting arms indirectly and directly 3x week causes nasty strains tendinitis in my left shoulder and right elbow. So I do 2 heavy days followed by 2x lighter days. Lee Haney apparently used to train like this. It’s helped with the injuries and it keeps the muscles working in a different way. It’s also more enjoyable because your not committing to one rep range your alternating it and it works the muscles in different ways

Started taking your advice about six weeks ago now and have started to see some results - and I am 65. Prior to this change most of my sets were in the 12/15 reps range which gave me a good pump and all but no noticeable growth. So my thought was f*ck it I guess I am just too old to grow muscle anymore - which I guess in some aspects is true. My son convinced me to take it back down to more sets and less reps with heavier weight which I tried for a while and while yes, I did get a nice pump....I started to experience more post workout pain and small injuries that caused me to miss workouts. Well being retired now, I want to spend more time in the gym not less. Found this channel and it has changed things tremendously for me. Thanks brother.

I've had way more progress using "lighter weights" and higher reps than how I used to train. I was all about the higher weights and lower reps.

I do believe that heavy compound lifts are beneficial for growth, but the issue is that most turn it into an ego lift and that’s how the injuries happen. With that said, I think lifting “lighter” is generally more helpful because you can concentrate the contraction more. This has been more helpful for me lately. But if you can lift a heavy weight with good form, then right on with it
