    Good ways to build work capacity for bodybuilding?

    @jamierite74 You should always train with high intensity of effort (rir 0 to 2). This is possible even with high volume. I would consider myself an advanced lifter and currently I am doing 18 to 22 sets per muscle group and getting some gains again. Some days I feel weak and totally wrecked but...

    Good ways to build work capacity for bodybuilding?

    @jamierite74 you need to slowly increase volume. Maybe add 2 sets every 6 months. If you get more advanced you need more volume but also need to deload more frequently. So taking a deload after 4 weeks of high volume training is normal. Also dont panic if you get weaker on high volume. Listen...

I train for over 10 years and find sets with less 6 reps dont offer the same stimulus. 6-10 is usually the sweet spot. Ditch DUP or powerbuilding where you have heavy and light days. You need to train specific...

    Seriously stubborn and weak chest

    @polarbearwear Too little Volume, too high RPE. Training to RIR 0 leaves Zero room for improvement. Limit RIR 0 to Isolation. Train your presses at 8-9 RPE. Double your Volume.

    I guess it’s time to deload?

    @fromissouri You might take a deload here and there for hypertrophy but with the newer evidence it is not that beneficial. Training to failure all the time is your Problem. Most of Training should be in the RPE 8-9 range@rir 1-2. Even rpe 7s can be used when Training legs. You can not train at...
