Paul .....I've used MICRO LOADING in the same rep ranges with great results. Got this tip from the late great John Christy who got to a lean 220 at 5'10" juice free. Adding a rep to a previously very hard set of 6 is much more difficult than adding one pound, or even less depending on the exercise, and keeping the rep goal the same at 6. This seems to trick the body into strength gains and thus mass gains. Like to hear something from you on a clip about this. I think it's the key to progressive overload long term. Gotta buy micro plates in my opinion

[@MrJimiex]

This is gold. I really tough that a better performance was po.

[@Sonic_1000]

People also need to understand progressive overload hits a wall. You won't even bench 1200lbs, for example.

i love these videos! hope they go viral as more people need to learn everything you are teaching us. I used to hate gym quite a lot and i felt miserable going to the gym... but then a friend of mine introduced me to a better approach at the gym and science behind everything about that - exercises/human anatomy/training to failure/rest/sleep/MUR etc. etc. also recommended me guys like Paul and Chris i cannot get enough of watching and learning from you guys!

[@spurzo-thespiralspacewolf8916]

I used to really mad if I couldn’t add a rep every workout to every exercise. Now I take the increase when they come. Now I count 1/2 reps or grinding speed as progressive overload in a workout and I don’t stress about it anymore! LOL

[@dante19890]

same. Then I started to write a log after every workout with how many reps and weight use and I always saw increases over time

[@NapalmBlitzkrieg]

Looking forward to the podcast.

Sometimes you may lose a rep or two on a lift depending on your lack of sleep, outside stress, and/or nutrition dropped off.

[@mademen5234]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you need to change exercises on for example a pull A and pull B? I have been doing this for years but have been seeing people say to stick to the same stable exercises for each session rather than trying to switch it for the sake of a different exercise and maybe even sacrificing some stability.

[@spurzo-thespiralspacewolf8916]

I , like Paul , use an A/B exercise selection and I train each muscle 1 x week. As long as you track each workout and try to progress each workout if you can it can work.I actually prefer to train this way, it makes it more interesting and fun and you don’t plateau as quickly. I do pick movements that are similar each workout. If you’ve already devoloped neuraladaptation to an exercise you can wait longer between that exercise without losing the adaptation, like riding a bike. If you pick stable movements the learning curve is way less.

[@JohnProph]

to me, if you do 315x5 sloppy reps and over the workouts you gradually change that to 315x5 clean reps, you have shown that growth has occurred Same as if you do 315x5 touch and go and you gradually change that to 315x5 paused, then you have simply gotten stronger

[@LiftRunBang]

And I already covered this. It means you'd be able to do much more than 315 x 5 for sloppy reps. It isn't progressive overload. Why you guys cannot grasp this is absolutely wild and beyond me. Cleaning your form up is not and never was a type of progressive overload. You're just hung up on the words.

[@JohnProph]

@@LiftRunBang I said "over the workouts". Im not saying you can do 315x5 sloppy and then next set do 315x5 clean. If you clean up that form over the course of time, you simply got stronger

[@LiftRunBang]

@@JohnProph yes I said that in the video. IF you go from 315 x 5 sloppy to 315 x 5 clean that means progressive overload did occur. Because you'd also be able to use more load now sloppy too.

[@thunderkat5282]

It’s so true about how the juice forces myofibrilar hypertrophy so you can just focus on sarcoplasmic once a week. Naturals need more frequent lower rep training. They can do high rep sets once a week or so in order to pump the sarcoplasm. Say I’m wrong. Idc. Unless you have a better explanation 🤷‍♂️ idk how else to explain some Things I’ve seen in my own body where I magically add half an inch on my arms in a week simply from doing some pump Sets. Come on, y’all have surely noticed similar things. I don’t buy the science bros lack of explanation. Someday they’ll catch up.

[@befree9579]

75% of muscle size for naturals comes from heavy lift, the 25% is the higher reps.

[@davemcaferty6347]

You are 100% wright way is it there are so many guys trashing on jorden peters because he always talks about adding weight to the machine or adding another rep that how you put on muscle im not sure what's wrong with these so called experts!!!

[@emilgustafssoncregard5313]

i like these videos really much

[@JayOne23]

The part about progressing very slow at an advanced level is very important because all we hear is “you have to add weight or reps every week”. This can lead many people to try to force progressive overload by compromising form or increasing volume (which is wrong).

[@KurokamiNajimi]

Increasing volume isn’t wrong though. I get the point of this video but weight on the exercise is just to maintain relative intensity. Progression in tension is the amount of weekly sets granted all sets aren’t created equally

[@JayOne23]

@@KurokamiNajimi Increasing volume is wrong as a way of progressive overload.

[@KurokamiNajimi]

@@JayOne23 You misunderstood me I think. I’m just saying that increasing volume over time from beginner to novice to intermediate is just as important as increasing weight. Eventually you can’t do more volume but we have to reach that maximal recoverable volume

[@JayOne23]

@@KurokamiNajimi It's the opposite. As you become more advanced and efficient, the less volume you need and can recover from.

[@KurokamiNajimi]

@@JayOne23 Not sure where you’re getting that from the reason growth becomes so slow is because we cap in the amount of volume we can do. When I say more volume I’m already assuming the quality of the set was the highest it could be. Yeah fatigue gets higher the stronger you get but CNS also improves over time and you can train that directly look at Geoffrey Schofield (yes he is natural) for example he does upwards of 20 sets per muscle to failure I know that’s more of an extreme example but you get the point

adding sets is not progressive overload... however, say session 1 I did 315x8 and then did dumbell press 100x12. the following session I do 315x8x6 and am still able to maintain the dumbell press at 100x12... would this be progressive overload for the second exercise?

[@LiftRunBang]

that's an interesting question. I would have to say yes, because if you had not done the second set of bench press in the second workout it's likely you get more than 100x12 on the dumbbell after. However your scenario is basically not going to happen. LOL

I don't care what you link and credentials don't mean anything anymore. I think that's been thoroughly proven at this point.
