Key points from me 1).Tension Is king ->How to get the most tension (Refer to next Key Points) 2).BodyBuilding Technique ->Minimal Momentum Momentum Break Muscle gain ->Range Of motion Find the stretch of each Exercise ->Lifting Tempo Slow Negative, Fast Concentric 4).Effort -> More Closer to Failure, More Gains 5).Give ur Muscle Reason To Grow ->Use Progressive Overload/make The exercise Harder (Reps,Sets,Rest/Sets,slow Negative,Load) 6).Choose High Tension Exercise ->For Minimalizing Fatigue Ratio, and maximizd Muscle Building Ratio

[@mitradite]

💪 *How To Train For Pure Muscle Growth (Science Explained) - Jeff Nippard* 🔥 *Tension is King:* - Always have the most tension as possible during your exercises. 🏋 *Bodybuilding technique:* - Have proper tempo: explosive on the positive and slow and controlled on the negative. - Range of Motion: be sure to do the full ROM on exercises. - Proper technique: Do not cheat the technique with other muscles. 💪 *Effort:* - You always need to push your sets close to failure - On safer exercises such as the ones with machines and cables, you should do the last set to failure. While on harder ones such as squats, deadlifts and bench presses, always be 1 rep close to failure on every set. 🌳 *Give your muscles a reason to grow:* - You need to progressively overload, and this can be done in 3 ways: - Having better technique (can be done without switching reps or weight) - Adding more reps (usually without changing weight) - Adding more weight (usually also lowering reps) 🎯 *High-Tension exercises:* - The best exercises are the ones that cause a lot of tension in your muscles, as said in the first chapter, but even better ones are ones that cause high tension with low fatigue. These exercises can be found in Jeff Nippard's new program. *Also some other interesting facts:* ✅Every training split works as long as you do the right volume, rest and it can fit your schedule. 😴 Your rest time should be by at least 1 minute. 🏭Exercises done with machines give the same results as free-weight exercises, and maybe even better.

Chapter 1 emphasizes the importance of tension as the primary factor for muscle growth, explaining how tension is generated during muscle contractions. Chapter 2 introduces bodybuilding technique, emphasizing the need for controlled tempo, slow eccentric movements, and explosive concentric movements for maximum muscle growth. Chapter 3 emphasizes the importance of pushing sets close to failure to stimulate hypertrophy, citing a meta-analysis showing that as you approach failure, muscle growth increases. Chapter 4 discusses the progressive overload principle, which involves gradually increasing training variables such as reps, weight, or technique to promote muscle growth. Chapter 5 advises selecting exercises that offer high tension and a favorable stimulus-to-fatigue ratio, favoring machine and cable-based exercises over free weights for pure hypertrophy. Additional points include considerations for training splits, rest periods, and specialized hypertrophy techniques.

[@JuliusCaesar103]

About the train to failure or not part, the missing link is reps. There's nothing magical about going to failure, you can get the same results by doing an extra set or 2, going to failure means doing more reps, it's not the failure itself. Which is why you see similar growth with going to failure and not going to failure. But if course going to failure is way more fun and it teaches you to push hard instead of sandbagging

[@asprinklingofclouds]

An excellent summary incorporating the latest science on how to build muscle. It increasingly looks like EMG studies are worthless as a tool for predicting hypertrophy, the stretched position is more important than the contracted position for hypertrophy, irrespective of the higher EMG scores that the contracted position elicit. The study on training to failure throws a bone to those who swear by 'one set' high intensity training, but the evidence shows that the situation is more complex than that, as volume is a way of introducing added tension which is the primary driver of hypertrophy.

[@darthbrutalicious6066]

Hello Jeff! Making a dedicated video series on long-length partials ,myo reps , dropsets , cluster sets , iso holds and others is not just a goo idea, it is A GREAT IDEA. I would go as far as to state that no one has done an in-depth nicely directed dedicated video describing all of these techniques.their origin's , the studies that back them up and how can be used in the gym during your exercises. It gets even more confusing when you google these techniques and the results are varied with some relly long podcasts discussing them but that is a dull way to explain them. A 10 to 15 minute video with nice graphs and real life training examples within the gym can show how to execute these techniques properly in different excercise scenarios and also increase our lifting IQ in the process.

@7:05 - it's also worth considering that while the raw stimulus MIGHT be slightly higher training to complete failure, the stimulus:fatigue ratio is much worse which has its own drawbacks. If you'll be suffering much more general / CNS fatigue, you may need to deload sooner, you may be more fatigued for subsequent exercises in each given workout, and you're also likely to increase your risk of injury and/or burnout.

[@Meow-ee9zo]

[@Nik-ot6vr]

Rest longer imo

[@vikt]

Just don't go to all-out failure on your first exercise. Leave a rep or two or three on all sets and you should be good. But realize that even doing this won't guarantee that you'll progress on every single set, of every single exercise, of every single time you work out, and that's fine. This is especially true as you get more experienced in the gym At the end of the day though, as long as you progress somewhere, that's all that matters. I'd only start worrying if you can't progress at all Also, you might find it useful to wave your reps in reserve, like Mike Israetel talks about in his videos. So on week one of your mesocycle you do 3 rir, then on week 2 you go to 3 or 2 rir, and so forth (your rir over the weeks depends on the length of your mesocycle a bit). I've been training this way for about a year and I love it. I especially like that I don't have to go straight to failure first thing after I come back from a deload

[@83gh]

It might only be applicable to people training at home (where there's no overhead of traveling to the gym or showering after every session) but I resolved that issue by splitting my workout into a morning and afternoon session, about 25 mins each (with warmup). Additionally, it would usually be 4 working sets of 2 antagonistic exercises done in an alternating maner (f.eg. overhead press + pull up) starting, say, every 2:30, giving about 90 sec of rest between exercises and about 4 mins between the same exercises. Almost like a superset, although my understanding is that in a superset you jump to the other exercise immediatly after the first, which for me leaves a performance impact. So, two modifications here: a use of longer-rest supersets which allows longer rests for specific muscle groups without prolonging the workout, and splitting the workout across the day, which allows afternoon exercises to be performed fresh, instead of having a carryover fatigue from the first two.

[@Jaburu]

the progressive overload thing is a little contradictory especially if you go to failure. what do you do when you can't go higher without lowering reps? in my experience it works in a sense that it pushes you into giving more, but with the price of you hitting a wall and end up overtrained and forced to pause.

[@santiagoca7049]

This IS the video for bodybuilding. Everything was very well explained. I would add that 'tension' is not caused by external elements (dumbbells, bars, machines, etc.) since these elements do not present a nervous innervation to our muscles. In any case, lifting weights would give us a reason to tense our muscles even more. If you can tense your muscles at will without needing those elements then that means that humans have some control over the CNS and that it is a matter of practice to improve that tension (this is very well observed in bodybuilding competitions when athletes must demonstrate good muscle tone in every part of the body when doing their poses).

[@marcod6653]

Just to have fun, let me explain how a Statistician sees results reported in Sport Science. Figure 5:46 shows the relationship between "how much you are close to failure" and "hypertrophy". The relationship between failure and muscel growth is not even close to be a law, based on the results depicted here. In the paper the authors reported godness-of-fit measures like R^2-marginal as 19.39%, and R^2-conditional as 77%. I won't explain you what these values are in details, but they pretty much explain how much variance in the data you can capture (explain) if you prefer this model to a non-model (so by simply using the mean for instance, that means nothing). And such values are not promising at all if you compare them with the results observed in most non-replicable scientific disciplines. And they are the best results they could obtained. They used a log-linear model, which you are not interested in, but to my experience this simply means they tried a bunch of models to find the one that could fit the most with this messy data cloud. That is equivalent to throwing a dice and pick a model to try out. There is a total lack of expectation, a total lack of principled hypotheses. But by definition, there always exists a model that fits better, even if it is nonsense. However, all this can be clearly inferred from the image itself (visualization is part of statistics as the quantitative analysis per se), where you see a clear spreading in muscle growth outcomes across all the levels of failure proximity. This can also be noted by the light band, which is the prediction interval. Meaning that, given this model, what is the uncertainty if I try to predict the muscle growth if a person trains close to failure by N (N is how much you are close to failure, so 0, 2, 4, and so on). The authors report the intervals as [-0.6, 0.54], so basically, all the fucking span of the y-axis. That means that there is no fucking way to predict whether you will increase your muscle growth. You can be everywhere in the y-axis. And also, this is a typical statistical pattern that suggests that computing overall-measures in this topic is not the way. Individual differences still play the most fundamental role. You find studies testing participants showing a huge variety of muscle growth behaviors in response to a diversity of training strategies and proximity to failure, and this explains the absolutely lack of predictive power of meta-analysis like this one. Individual difference approach is not a thing in Sport Science, unfortunately.

"Let's see Andrew Eubanks fangirl about Jeff Nipples this hard." - Sam Sulek 2023

[@k1awdttt]

Was really confused on Point 2 on the text summary @7:31 is confusing. It says for longer (2 mins+) rest, we need about 6-8 sets per muscle group per session. But then followed by "Set volume may need to be double that when taking short rests (< 90secs)". It didn't make sense to me why resting for longer need fewer sets... so I decided to read the paper myself and found these explanations: "A closer scrutiny of the study by Schoenfeld et al. (2016) indicates an advantage for the use of longer rest intervals. Specifically, the study showed a greater effect size for increases in muscle mass for the long (3 min) rest interval group, in three out of four sites used in the assessment. Results from Fink et al. (2017) support these findings (in untrained individuals) for lower body hypertrophy, with the effect size for thigh cross-sectional area favouring long versus short inter-set rest interval (Cohen’s d: 0.93 vs. 0.58, respectively)" And more importantly: "In addition to the level of exertion, the use of either type of rest intervals also depends on the exercise selection, as multi-joint free weight exercises induce a greater amount of fatigue and, as such, require more time to recover from than single-joint, machine-based exercises (Senna et al., 2011). This hypothesis is supported by the recent findings of Senna et al. (2016). ...a benefit to using long rest intervals when performing multi-joint exercises while employing shorter rest intervals when using single-joint exercises. Namely, the use of longer rest intervals enhances volume accumulation and directly impacts mechanical tension and muscle damage, while the use of short inter-set rest intervals influences metabolic stress. By limiting rest intervals, the body is not able to reestablish homeostasis (Henselmans & Schoenfeld, 2014), resulting in a heightened build-up of lactate, inorganic phosphate, and hydrogen ions (Schoenfeld, 2013a) possibly stimulating increased fibre recruitment, elevated systemic hormonal production, alterations in local myokines, heightened production of reactive oxygen species, and cell swelling (Schoenfeld, 2013b; Henselmans & Schoenfeld, 2014)" Jeff, I've been a long time subber of your channel and always love the science based commentary you give. But I felt that you kinda dropped the ball here since this bit of finding is very much against the conventional wisdom of short rests being better. Obviously you might have learned about this for a while now so it might not seem important to you, but it is quite different from most coahes would say, even for someone like Dr. Andy Galpin. So, it'd be nice if you could elaborate a bit more on your points with the findings to back up your claims, instead of just "here's the paper have fun."

I think one missed point in Chapter 4 (progressive overload) was emphasizing that in the process of adding weight or reps, we’re keeping technique and RPE standardized. Adding weight and increasing RPE doesn’t mean you’re adding tension onto the muscles, just like adding a rep by adding momentum doesn’t mean you’re stronger. It needs to be one more rep at the same effort level, with the same technique in order to add tension to the muscle.

[@Sam_Saraguy]

Great video for bodybuilders. I took lots of notes, which is always a good sign. Thanks, Jeff.

[@darymetal]

Dr Mike is dancing in front of the screen right now

[@br1pres8]

After learning so much from your videos, i felt the need to buy your Pure Bodybuilding Program not only to learn more, but to reward you for all the good work you’ve been doing and i’m benefiting from. 👏🏼😎

[@frenchLeon]

Yo Jeff ! Please keep the funny stuff you add time to time on vids. It makes your videos even better.

[@V3N7U5]

Been watching your vids for a long time now, and I do use your tips in my training. It's about time I buy my first program even just to support your amazing free work. Thx jeff, you are the best.

[@lilsheba]

Thank you yet again for having one-time purchase options vs. a subscription-only model. Puts more of my money into my local gym where all those good machines are. 💪🏼

[@realverse]

Thanks for the vid Jeff ! Currently trying the static only workout, staying only in the part where the muscle is most stretched. What do you (and others) think of this ? Using only the maximum tension and eliminating any momentum makes sense with what you say in this vid. It's also easier on my joints for some reason. Thanks for replies

[@CounterfeitProphet]

Dude, your channel is one of the best sources of weight training info on KZbin. Thanks for everything you do.

[@michelleamsing5706]

Amazing video! As a girl in a muscle building phase I want to maximize it as much as possible, considering it’s also harder/slower to build muscle. Thank you!!

[@Vincent_Beers]

Female recovery is faster than male. Take advantage of that to get in more variety and you'll be more well rounded than most males in the same time frame. Individual muscle growth may be slightly slower due to less testosterone, but you can activate more variety of muscles in the same session with less overall fatigue. Renaissance periodization covered this recently. Play to your advantage, you need a plan tailored for women, not men. Much of the same training philosophy is the same on effort, but you can do more variety with faster sets. My girlfriend and I go to the gym together, my strength is technically higher, but her progress in ratio to her body mass/height is faster than mine by following their advice. She gets more machines done faster due to the better recovery rate.

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

​​@@Vincent_BeersI don't know what you're talking about. At the gym I go to males are leagues ahead of females. Even the one who compete are barely as jacked as average bros. Significant muscle building is basically impossible for women naturally. Also bad news is that anabolics are way more risky for women than for men. I don't really buy the faster recovery thing. Doesn't higher testosterone aid in recovery? And of course recovery will be faster if you've barely done any damage. I don't know your gf personally but I have NEVER seen a seen a decently jacked girl in real life.

[@Kaizan27]

He was flawed in a few in his statements, and sure maybe the faster recovery in women is true but by what basis? Other studies show women don't work as hard in the gym as men so that might be a contributing factor as to why they recover faster@@user-he4ef9br7z

[@garywinthorpe9191]

I need that just getting literally stronger video. I’m focused on improving my squat, deadlift, and bench press and overall strength.

[@rounaksubramanian1686]

Wow simply just wow bro you are doing a excellent and brilliant thing by making this video and telling about how to train pure muscles growth and keep it up and keep up the good work as always and take care Keep smiling always

[@lehlohonoloshale2488]

I've seen tremendous results form slow raps especially focusing on slowl straight while keeping my muscle under high tension, 10 raps feels like 15 and. Also cover a lot of work with 3-4 set in 45-60min. Thank you very much for this info, you Jeff really change lives. Keep it warming ma brada!

[@TheSimpIeMan]

What I don't understand: you recommend the first 2 sets of a 3 set workout to be just 1 rep shy of failure. Then, a few minutes later, you use an example where you go for 3x10 reps using the same weight. But usually, if you do the first set just 1 rep shy of failure, you probably won't even reach 10 reps again on the second one cause your muscle is too exhausted from the set before. What am I missing here?

[@shane_rm1025]

Decrease the weight between sets to reach your rep target for each set. I personally like to do increasing rep targets with more aggressively decreasing weight ie first set to 5 or 6 with 1 RIR, second set to 8 with 1 or 0 RIR, last set to 10 or 12 with 0 RIR or to failure (-1 RIR)

[@xtimberwolfx13]

I'm getting married next September, and I'm just finishing up my 2nd go around of the Ultimate Push Pull Legs program. I loved it, and I'm in the best shape I've been in. I think it's time for some body building to get my groom bod on. Thank you for your awesome work!

[@thomasrobertfitness]

Very well done! Amazingly detailed and informative. Nice job Jeff! Keep up the good work

[@Albert_Einstein_]

how important is variation? if i do bench press and dips for chest every time, is that not optimal?

[@69Subhan69]

Is that even enough sets for chest per session

[@shane_rm1025]

Variation in sets/reps/total volume is overall more important than variation in exercise selection. That said different exercises can activate different motor unit patterns and thus further drive hypertrophy.

[@kobemop]

Seems very lower chest focus, I'd throw in an Incline press (whatever version you like) even decline push ups hit the upper chest like those incline presses.

[@ianbrown5955]

And it keeps changing. It wasn't long ago that 2 or 3 reps in the tank was the best thing since ice-cream. It looks like we are back to failure now. I do think that recovery is huge in building muscle. If you're gonna use less intensity and/or lower volume, you'll need less recovery. If your going to do failure and/or beyond failure, you're going to need more days for recovery. I've experimented and learned that "Recovery" is huge and needs to be addressed in studies with different types of training. Recovery is different for everybody, and could be why we have hard gainers. Whatever we do, our muscle or muscles worked have to be fully recovered before the next workout.

[@_7.8.6]

It’s only because Mike Mentzer is doing the rounds. Which I agree with his principles and it’s a routine I follow

[@ianbrown5955]

@@_7.8.6 I've always been into high intensity, but I don't think I've allowed enough time for recovery. I found my recovery time is a week for each muscle or muscle group if I go all out on 3 workouts per week; 8 to 10 sets per muscle or muscle group.. I tried doing a modified Mentzer workout for 3 months. One all-out set with super sets and rest/pause per muscle or muscle group. Three workouts every eight days. It was really tough, and even though each workout was only 20 min with long rests, I was totalled. I believe I was not recovering properly. But I did see changes. I've decided to modify my program a bit now after taking a week off. And maybe a guy just needs to take a week off more often on a program like that. High intensity works, but we need to recover. I did not enjoy the intensity that I put myself through for those short workouts for three months. I'm gonna try a little less intensity and a couple more sets instead.

[@HomePremiered]

I watched this while eating chips.

[@UnaiFit]

Insane value in a single video. If I had watched this as a beginner I’d be much bigger now lol

[@mhcronje]

Is it easier to gain muscle when you’re short?

[@dubzy4485]

i mean you’re gaining the same amount of muscle no matter how tall you are, but that same amount of muscle is gonna LOOK bigger on a shorter guy yk yk

[@larmclock9097]

Its no easier to put on an amount of muscle if youre short or if you’re tall, but X amount of muscle will look bigger on you if you’re shorter

[@prophet6557]

Yes

[@KasumovMedia]

The gym is the one place tall guys can claim victim for something😂 It's actually very easy: half of the people are lazy, tall or short. Short ones will say they got bad genes, tall ones will say their height is too much

[@LukeMlsna]

Not exactly. You grow at the same rate, but every pound of muscle gained has a bigger visual impact the shorter you are. All else being equal, a 200 pound 6’ tall guy will look nowhere near as jacked as a 200 pound 5’ tall guy.

[@nickhall3864]

I see the exact same thing at every LA fitness I go to. 90% of the lifters just skip out on the negative or they don't go full ROM or both. One specific exercise I see where people do this is pullups where they go halfway down and then just go back up repeatedly.

Hey Dr Mike says he’ll beat you on the basketball court 1v1 👀

[@huhwhatomg]

[@lemsi170]

For progressive overload, I just go to failure every set and once I can do more than 15 reps I up the weight

[@minupakumarasinghe3446]

same.

[@brahmabull4004]

I cut off @ 12 then up weight
