@millery That goes against the scientific consensus but train however you like.

@timb2020 Your maximum number of reps should be between 10 and 30 and you should do close to that number. It's called reps in reserve (RIR) training. For example, if you can do 20 reps and you train with 3 RIR, you'd do 17 reps.

@bobsacamano As long as you reach muscular failure (ideally staying within 5 reps) in ideally 10-30 reps you should be fine to build muscle. The challenge of single leg exercises as I see it is that they often fail due to balance or fatigue in other muscles than the prime movers.

@zn2309 From all I've read on sleep science that's a load of hogwash. All my life I've been a bad sleeper and I've been perpetually tired. Are you telling me insomnia means my brain is ultra-efficient and I'm functioning as well as everyone else?.

@zn2309 Right, it might be all you're able to get but it doesn't mean you'll function as well as the people who get 8.

@big_sinner It seems to me that you'll be competing against people who have all that, plus a good training program. So I seriously doubt it.

@big_sinner Can you win Mr Olympia training like a moron on roids?

@beaud20 This is true but so did everyone he competed against.
