Why Myoreps Are AWESOME

[@Amney]

Hey Dr Mike - I use the RP physique template (4 day). Do you think it makes sense to shoot for Myoreps on the Biceps, Calves, and Traps exercises or is this program (and the in-built feedback mechanism) intended for simple straight sets only?

[@RenaissancePeriodization]

It absolute makes sense to use them there. Just count the reps up and note the number of rest-breaks so that you can progress intelligently for next time. - Dr. Mike

[@jdipietronh]

@@doyourownresearch7297 Because in my experience the pain and inflammation induced while using loads in the traditional 8-10 range at 0-3 RIR are felt much more acutely than loads in the 15-20 range. I think it is also just the sheer increased blood flow to the area with higher myo-rep protocols that keeps things feeling healthier. Everything just feels much more warmed up, stretched, and like the muscles are getting worked more than my joints. Failure feels like true muscular failure and not "this is effing killing my elbow/shoulder/etc." failure.

Great advice. Myoreps have been fantastic for me on leg days. I have leg presses and RDLs as my main upper leg movements that are straight sets and then myoreps for leg extensions and seated leg curls. The psychological load and fatigue is immense with myoreps, so would personally advise to keep them for movements that have minimal risk of injury. Great content as always, doc!

After seeing your videos on MYO reps about a month ago, I've started incorporating them in my workouts. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays; I do the typical high weight, low reps workouts. Thursdays and Fridays; I burn my muscles out with MYO reps. When doing MYO reps, I try to do exercises that isolate the target muscle as much as possible. I think this weekly mix-up has greatly improved my growth and calorie burn. Note: I have never tried MYO reps for my legs. I can't imagine trying to walk half a mile back to my apartment after that. Haha!

[@Christiansstillstruggle]

I used to be that guy that spent 3 hours in the gym just for a simple shoulders and aems workout. Not because that's how long training takes but because I just think to much. Implementing MYO rep match sets into my training has made training fun and less daunting from a mental stand point. Just knowing I'm going to be able to get through 4 sets of Tricep Pushdowns in a matter of 2-4 mins and then be done is very conforting and takes the thinking out of it for me. Give it a try 🤷‍♂️ for me it's definitely made training fun again and it's given me much better pumps because of the lack of resting. Doing lead up reps just to get to faliure gets boring from time to time. MYO rep match sets fix that issue.

[@EEDad401]

Appreciate the info! I recently began doing myoreps in my last workout (of four) each week. I hit my biceps, triceps, chest, and back by doing two "normal" exercises (normal sets, progressive overload) and one myorep exercise (activation set and four mini-sets). I've noticed a bit of growth, though it's come more in definition than size. I'm currently eating at maintenance while I decide if I want to cut or bulk next.

DAY 2: Myorep and superset incline bench then lat pull downs (in that order for 2 supersets), Myorep and superset normal benchpress then seated rows (in that order for 2 supersets), 2x normal sets incline pushups (10 reps each), 2x normal sets shrug rows (10 reps each). DAY 3: Myorep and superset preacher curls then seated skull crushers (in that order for 2 supersets), Myorep and superset hammer curls then overhead dumbell tricep extensions with elbows out and palms facing down (in that order for 2 supersets), Myorep and superset lateral raises then dips (in that order for 2 supersets), then possibly some forearm exercise, if i have the time. DAY 4: 2x normal sets for any muscle in my legs chest or back that dont feel like they were worked enough in the previous days, light weight, nothing too hard, just getting a decent pump, 30 min cardio later in the day. DAY 5: 2x normal sets of any arm or shoulder workouts if that muscle doesnt feel like it was worked hard enough in the previous days, again, light weight, nothing too hard, just getting a decent pump, making sure everything in the week has been worked sufficiently. The next 2 days are rest days, with a long, 1.5 to 2 mile walk on one of those days. let me know what you think.

I feel good when i workout on a empty stomach, beeing in fast state, not because of a weight loss myth, but i feel good not having any food in my system. I workout like 4 times per week and my rep ranges are 15-20 with as much weight that allows me to have a controlled motion and proper form. And i gradually increase weights and same time keeping that 15-20 rep range. Maybe its a non orthodox system but it works for me. Anyways, keep up the good work dr Mike! Big fan of your work here!

[@RenaissancePeriodization]

I think it's in part because bigger guys have lower volume requirements as they are so strong and create so many sequestered metabolites that straight sets and drop sets are often good enough to create maximum stimulus. Smaller guys have smaller, slower-twitch muscles that can both handle and NEED the extra volume and stimulus of myorep sets. Remember, when you follow only what the biggest guys do, you by proxy follow only what works best for the people with the best genetics. - Dr. Mike

This is something I do when the gym is busy, and I am conscious of the people around me. Especially because there is only one Smith Press (Safety Bench) and everybody wants it. I would be selfish to take a 3 minute rest between sets, which at my age is what I need. If I only rest for 60 seconds, my sets basically go 12 - 6 - 3, instead of 12 - 10 - 8. But with mini-rests, I can push each set to where I need, take a minute, then do the next.

[@hmq2007]

Wondering the same thing.

[@dndallasta]

Hey, Dr Mikhail. Have you ever experimented training exclusively in this style? The reason I ask is because years ago, on a very popular bodybuilding forum, there was a controversial guy who posted some routines exclusively based around rest pause training, where progression was driven by the rep count on the first 10-rep "activation" set, volume was tracked by total reps done, rest days were self-regulated and deloads mandatory every 3-4 weeks. Apart from the time savings, pushing hard all the time and not having to wait around in-between sets for a full resting period was refreshing and kinda fun. A lot of people reported some really good progress (and injuries) on 'em but then the whole thing faded into obscurity (along with the author of the threads). Very mysterious. *cue creepy music* For me, I managed to get consistently stronger due to high frequency (A/B split with auto-regulated rest days) and hitting failure so often (probably neural adaptions, mostly?) but I think I was constantly in a state of fatigue and overreaching plus tendons/joints aches and pains. At the time I wasn't eating very well, so I can't really say what the results would've been physique-wise if my diet had been on point. Have you ever seen someone that trained exclusively this way and achieved relative success, hypertrophy-wise?

[@sumdude23]

My heavier adjustable dumbbells broke, so I had to do flat presses with "mere" 50s instead of 90s. Myoreps made things infinitely more painful and effective!

My workouts are generally full-body with 6-8 main movement patterns (vertical pull, horizontal pull etc) so I tend not to have time to do much separate isolation work. I think I'll maybe try and end each workout with some myo-reps and see if it makes much difference.

I usually can get another 4 reps if I try, and then if I try again I can´t do more the 2 or 3. By stopping with the first 4 reps I´ve be leaving gains in the table , right? Should I choose a lighter weight so I can fail closer to 20 reps and the my frist myreps get are higher than 5?

[@IrgendwasDoofes]

Thanks for the insights! I am a little confused on how to use and count Myoreps. On your latest video "Powerlifter Turned Bodybuilder vs High Rep Leg Day" Bri uses Myoreps on the leg curl machine in a form of rep matching, setting the rep goal in the first set and then myorepping over consecutive sets to match the rep goal. As I got it, each time, the rep goal is reached its regarded as one "set". In this video I got it more like that each Myorep set (continuing after 5-10 secs) is a set. What would you suggest on counting and which are the factor to decide on how to use Myoreps? Thank you so much for your help!

Just finished my MYO Rep leg day (including deadlift and squat). It sucked but also regular 16 reps x4 suck anyway so at least this sucking lasted less time. Funny how with squat and deadlift my back got way more pumped than it normally would. Also MYO rep calf raises and leg extensions are great. RDLs don't feel as effective since your back gets all pumped out like with normal deadlifts. Bulgarian split squats are okay, but legs felt less fatigued at the end so might not be effective.

I go down slow, pause and come up. But I’m only able to do 5-6 reps because I get out of breath. Do I continue to slowly move up when I know am able to get the reps. Or do I stick to the weight until I hit 10 reps? 4x10 for example. Or do I do 6-8x5 reps?

myo reps is the only way for me to get more reps in on seated leg extensions, because the burn gets way too intense on them.

[@ahanshankwalkar]

Can you explain myo rep match and how to track it?

Here’s a formula for a killer, low volume, high intensity, time saving workout for any given body part-2 sets of heavy compound (warm up first), 1 set of accessory performed with myo reps, 1 set of accessory with drop set. 3 exercises, 4 working sets. If performed correctly will give high stimulus and make you wonder why you ever trained with crazy high volumes.

I don't get how myo-reps sets work. Are they counted as proper sets, or are they sub-sets? Let's say I come with a plan to do 3 sets to train a muscle group. I do a set, then I do two myoreps sets. So am I done with 3 sets, or those 2 myoreps sets were subsets of the 1st main set and all of this gets repeated twice again?

[@77dris]

My question is: how do you count sets/volume with myoreps? Is each approach to failure considered a set?

[@hmq2007]

Excellent question - I was wondering the same thing.

Can you talk about thoughts on FST7 style sets? My understanding of them is basically a rest/pause set where you rest in the stretch position

Do AMRAP sets count as a form of myorep? Its seems like the same principles are at play but more choatic perhaps

[@marktherippertoe4280]

I think I figured you out. When you tell a story like the Gabdalrh story, THATs for us high people. otherwise I'd just be like "huh". I was really immersed in the story. I'm eating ice cream 🍦🤤

Hey Dr Mike What do you mean by 'approaches to failure'? Are you talking about muscular failure, cardiovascular failure etc.?

[@wishesandfishes]

Muscular failure
