It seems the real science to hypertrophy and weight training is not to just "keep adding weights and you grow". We all know that. The trick is what to do when you hit the wall in your training and how to negotiate through it and on to more gains. That can be quite nuanced and fraught with a lot of trial and error

Your body can produce energy from any of the big 3 macros. Your body can only get protein from the protein you eat. So protein is the most important, however, a little bit of carbs helps you build muscle a lot better. Time it so it's right before and after training. Eat protein every 2-3 hours and you should be ok lean bulking.

I’m confused! Mark rippetoe recently said on a podcast that nothing gets you bigger and stronger than heavy sets of 5. He said that sets of 10/12 etc don’t build muscle mass nearly as well and don’t get you as strong. Is this true? I want to get big and strong for Jiujitsu and I’ve been running starting strength for a little while with great results.
@nomongosinthaworld8 ай бұрын
Not sure if this is a joke comment but assuming it’s not, no, it’s not true and I would never listen to Rippletoe for muscle building advice. He is ridiculously dogmatic about sets of 5 because that’s what his biggest product is built on. That’s it. There’s nothing magical about 5 reps though it is technically within the hypertrophy range. Doing them in a starting strength way will only wear your joints down over time, however, and lead you to plateau rather quickly. 8-15 reps will be a lot easier on the joints, allow for more flexibility within your training and rarely let you plateau, simply because you have the option of adding reps instead of just weight. Also some exercises, especially isolations, just suit themselves better to higher reps which is something you don’t want to neglect

tbh, bodybuilding just seems to suck. I can put on 20lbs more muscle or lean mass and still look like I barely lift... That would be 155 to 175 18-20% bf at 5'6. That 20lbs would prob take 5-7 years too. I'm already far past my noobie gains. I started at 115lbs peaked at 175 at 25%+ I hardly could see my abs (noobie gains) then cut and stayed at 150-160 for many years even though I didn't lift much for the past 5-6 years. With around 2 years of serious training and half of that time was with injuries my strength gain was way better than my muscle gain even though I specifically trained for strength for only 8 months. I'd probably hit a 600lbs conv deadlift with a normal rom 1-2 inch above ankle to 1 to 2 inch below hips before looking like I lift... I have average leverages too so my wingspan is normal and the measurements of my bones are average but I heavily lack mobility in my ankles. That's how bad bodybuilding is for some of us. I can train all I want but 16 inch arms at 155, 5'6 is still dyel and at 17 it won't make much of a diff especially at 18-20% bf

My main issue with progressive overload is that at some point, you simply don't get stronger and you can't sustain it. You keep hitting a wall, you start overtraining and it's implausible to improve peak strength, even for reps.
@robmarsh9188 ай бұрын
Well first off, that’s because you are thinking of progressive overload as only adding weight and reps. There are many different ways to overload. Focusing on switching variations of the exercise, tempo, cheap reps, etc. I also don’t know what you mean by “even for reps.” If you can bench 200lbs for 5 reps, then working up to 20 reps is effective. And when you can do that, then do 205lbs and do it again. It’s an exaggerated example, but my point is it’s pretty endless. A good example of this is the KZbinr Geoffrey Verity Schofield. He’s a natty gotten huge over the years, and his max lifts are relatively low compared to his size. It’s not bc he’s weak - he’s big and he could easily switch focus to strength. But his focus is hypertrophy. So while he does overload, it’s not with the focus of just moving bigger weight. Second, you wont encounter that problem unless you’re some sort of pro strength athlete or something. What will happen is you will experience diminishing returns, which means your strength - and muscle gain - with come slower over time. Adding just 5 lbs to a lift can take a year or more when you are advanced. Third, bodybuilders actually do encounter that problem. Thus why they use a lot of advanced methods: drop sets, super sets, working beyond failure, etc. These methods are to cause the muscle damage without using typical working set using weight that, at their level, is too much to use regularly. It’s also unclear of what you are talking about. You mention it’s an issue with “peak strength.” We are talking about hypertrophy. The more experienced you are, the more mutually exclusive they become. If you are talking about peak strength, then yes, there is a limit. Bc we are human. And trust me, you won’t hit that limit. That’s not a concern for you. I don’t know you, but I’m pretty sure you aren’t a top pro strength athlete trying to break world records. Finally you can sustain your muscle and strength. In fact, maintaining is WAY easier than building up. So no. There is no “issue” with progressive overload. No offense, but the issue seems to be you not understanding what it is, and how to properly utilize the concept as you become more advanced.

@@robmarsh918Geoffrey isn’t weak at all. He has been referencing that 250 bench for years same thing with ppl referencing outdated numbers for NH. His chest is one of his worst body parts (he himself agrees with this) he’s arm dominant. Strength comparisons in general are a clusterfuck because the forms are often different and there’s a genetic factor+sometimes leverage influence I think GVS also agrees with this from what I’ve seen that there’s no such thing as getting bigger without getting stronger for most naturals. Some outliers might be naturally enhanced and grow from fluff and puff like drug users but if you increase your lifts by 10% (without altering the exercise to arbitrarily move more weight tired of that straw man lol) then you’ll see a 10% improvement in your physique What the other guy said has some truth. I don’t believe in a natural limit outside of time but you can only do so much volume which is why progression becomes so slow. First we grow from just 1 set then 2 8 12. Then you move onto to adding more exercises. But eventually you’ve capped
