@niecey85 Thanks, it seems to be a pretty common misconception and I’m always surprised to see people in this sub who still believe it.

@fender75 It's worth taking into account that everyone counts volume differently. If you don't read this post I think I can sum it as follows: My guess is that a) when people find lower volume/high intensity to be better, its usually people who are undershooting RIR when doing RP style as...

@harley Failure in perfect form on high rep squats means you're probably missing out a lot of stimulus. I'm not saying you should lift with shitty form, but for most people form on squats or deadlifts will start to breakdown before 3RIR. You're better off doing high rep leg press where form...

@len1973 This. So much potential if you keep bulking, don’t leave that shit on the table when it’s there for the taking.

@michael67 He added 90 pounds to his RDL and 25 to his squat. The 10 pounds may not seem like a lot but he weighs only 135 pounds. These are good improvements that shouldn’t be dismissed. Could they be better? Sure, but an advanced novice/lower intermediate lifter or bodybuilder will keep...

@un161 I get what you’re saying and I’m not trying to be snarky, but this is literally a sub called natural bodybuilding… Those recs are for people who train and want to build muscle as fast as possible, presumably because bodybuilding is their hobby or their competitive sport. Its not about...

@un161 I mean, maybe 6 days a week is rough for a lot of us but any person who is seriously training can do 4x per week for long stretches of time and nail most of the rest. When life gets in the way, you adjust as best you can but that’s a reasonable list. “Few adults” also train seriously or...

@hellokitty I think you misinterpreted some of the feedback. I think what multiple people suggested is that this program is a bit much for a beginner, for you to learn what 0rir/failure is (not necessarily train to failure on every exercise for a week in a complicated program), and for you to...
