@patdude832 No muscle should be trained daily

@asdtmr12 You’re resting too much or doing too much

@jayaraj Squats are not at all necessary, especially with a good alternative. A good leg press works, but even better would be a hack, pendulum, or smith machine squat

@hteezy The initial growth could’ve been glycogen, fat and water buildup since you’re bulking You could just be underestimating the progress you’ve been making You might’ve gotten too much fat on your arms so they looked less defined and “big” but in reality you’re still gaining muscle

@jdez No exercise requires a different rep range than another. I typically keep it below 10, preferably 8, to limit fatigue. But if you don’t find that enjoyable, higher reps works too

@macherieamour You can’t really do anything. Glycogen is a carbohydrate stored within the muscle, and since you’re eating less, inherently there will be less in your muscles. It’s the same idea as when you’re super dehydrated your muscles will look smaller, because your intramuscular water...

@ursulaemma The thing is, doing all that is why they don’t have results lol

That being said, I try to add as many reps as possible to all my sets. I try to stay in the 5-7 rep range, so say I did 7 for my first set and 6 for my second last week, then I’ll try to get 8 and 7 this week

@jedimasteradi Why do people love spreading misinformation so much

@backnforth If you’re training with intensity there’s no way you add reps to your later sets with the same weight

@conner74 Where did I say anything even close to that😭😭😭

@conner74 1 rep would not be as good or 5 or 30 but yes, intensity is king

@blueskies88 It takes 2 minutes to make and drink a protein shake which covers 1 2 and 3

@indybap He was just too extreme in his ideas

@lovely_krystal86 Usually 1-3 depending on the exercise, sometimes but usually not 4

@dawn16 That will work if you train with enough intensity lol

@takkles Matrix leg machines are great

@guaguar I believe so but I could be wrong, in theory it makes sense that causing less fatigue/damage would be better assuming you’re doing enough to get growth signaling from your workout. But at the end of the day you should stick to what you enjoy the most

@guaguar Is there any research showing high volume as being better when adequate rest is taken though

@revbillw No but it could be helpful
