@solokwa Whilst I’m always wary of trusting random people off of Instagram, pretty much all of that advice is sound and applicable to both natural and enhanced lifters. If anything I’d argue it’s more important for natural lifters since you simply aren’t going to recover as well or benefit from...

@jdez I’m almost certain there’s a lot of research supporting it, and there are a lot of people advocating relatively low rep ranges, around 5-7. 5 reps seems to be the minimum in order to stimulate hypertrophy, and that rep range gives you a happy medium between training for strength and...

@theodor98 With lateral raises it sort of depends. I’ll aim for 5 reps minimum when I’m starting out with a weight but I won’t strictly stick to the usual 5-7 rep range since chances are when I hit 8 reps with my current weight then go up to the next set of dumbbells they’re still too heavy so...

@lovely_krystal86 I usually train within the 5-7 rep range, to failure, and almost like clock work I seem to drop about 2 reps every set. That’s if I’m using the same weight. So if I did 7 reps with X amount of weight on my first set, I’ll likely get 5 reps on the next set. It does differ...
