@ineedadvice101 Practice more weight that is farther from failure. Training to failure is something you do when you can fail with good form. Also doing 5s around failure probably isnt the smartest thing.

@amandal You do you. But with that amount of muscle mass abs will just make you a skinny guy with abs.

@tp243 Its not unheard of. You just havent seen genetic freaks before and you also dont know his physical activity background before training.

@amandal The real question is though why are you cutting at that weight?

@guaguar The reason it takes so long long is because they like being at the gym. Unless you are gunning for a 1RM you never need more than 5 min rest in training between sets. So you could do 36 sets in 3 hours. A standard high volume powerlifting workout is usually 12-15 sets and 15 sets...

@amandal It you feel hungry you might be holding water due to diet fatigue.

@guaguar The true difference isnt going to be time in reality though. The 20% is going to be fatigue management, nutrition and sleep etc. And maybe 9 hours in total.

@guaguar 20% is a massive amount of results though. Its the difference between a 300 kg deadlift and a 240 kg one or a 180 kg and a 140 kg bench.

@kendraw Youve functionally overreached. Deload for 1 if not to weeks asap.

@austinsugden For a show maybe, probably still on the low end. For the beach? Defenitly not.

@musingsinscripture Experience and testing. Since it change as you get stronger and life variables change. Lets say you train quad twice a week. Do some amount of training for quads. Then when you arent sore anymore and is ready to repeat or beat last weeks performance train again. You...

@cheung The hardest part is the eating and sleeping. You should hit each muscle 1) at least twice a week 2) when it is recovered. This mean likely twice for things as quads and closer to 4 for things like side delts.

@constantine1946 Yes you can reduce injury risk a lot if you manage load, volume, intensity and fatigue well.

@trumpeter2 You are right training to much is stupid. But training is not a problem if you dont just wing and monkey your workouts.

@dorsetanglican97 1) Frequency is very good for strength. All these people are peopld where skill practice is important. If you want to be really good at something defenitly practice a lot. I would have to look up the refs in Mikes book to give your scources for minimum effective volume. But I...

@dorsetanglican97 As fast as possible is not relevant for novices. 1) 10 random sets wont help you if you are traind. You would have to warm up each time etc. When you get better the stimuli will have to be of larger magnitude. Its the whole marathon runner debate again. 2) you are right you...

@dorsetanglican97 1) there is a minimal effective volume. Something like 2 sets might be less than that. 2) it is more fatiguing to spread the work as you dont get as much complete rest and the sfr will generally be better later in a workout. This is also why you usually do things like...

@sunflower39 The is a correlation between high quality volume and gains. 1 time a week frequency eill usually allow less of that unless you are really strong. So if you squat 180kg*10 training quads hard once a week might be enough and even optimal in some cases. While lateral raises can maybe...

@leyanis Oh they can be natty. They just likely didnt get jacked while running a lot.

@petr0s 2 pounds pr week is within the recommendations for someone at your weight.
