@racarvalho Yeah pretty much

@racarvalho Muscle growth

@slamjam72 I agree with most of what your saying, but I disagree on your opinion on what's optimal. It's not necessarily arbitrary, there are better ways to do things i.e. greater results with the same amount of effort. It's therefore greater for something to be more optimal.

@slamjam72 Yes you can get stronger over higher reps, but it's not optimal, you could be getting stronger by doing something else. I do 5/3/1 which has 5x10 deadlifts, but for this guys beginner program that sort of volume isn't required

@racarvalho You're welcome. There aren't really benefits to going that high, Generally -1-5 strength with some hypertrophy, 4-8 hypertrophy + strength, 8-12 hypertrophy with some strength.

@racarvalho Yeah tiny increments every week

@trying2better 5x5 is a solid beginners program, ignore this guy, he's recommending more advanced ones

@racarvalho Your best option is to start a strength training program. I'd recommend having a look at stronglifts 5x5 to get you started.
