@holyrood For sure, we all respond somewhat different to different stimuli. The approach to effort relative to capacity remains the same. The best hypertrophy response I’ve ever had was working 8x8 only taking rest days when I needed to. It’s what I do on top of powerlifting training, which...

@brock The vast majority of this sub has an irrational fear of overtraining and being sub optimal, which leads to sandbagging year over year. Paralysis by analysis holds people back. Just eat more, lift more. An easy way to gauge is to AMRAP your last set. If you were truly working hard, if...

@marinam91 The feedback has been spot on! Especially as I went. I see the reasoning for his methodology, I just think I’m so attuned to high intensity and volume on the big 3 lifts that bodybuilding intensity is just not as brutal.

@elenchus My body responds there best I think. Maybe somethings like hamstrings and biceps at 15, but 15-30 like I was doing this last 5 weeks wasn’t the move like I thought it might be (or, I need another 5 weeks there)

Hey y’all, Reached the end of my second mesocycle on the Renaissance periodization hypertrophy app (web app) What I learned from this second block -I miss strength work a lot -working in an even higher rep range than the mesocycle before didn’t seem to yield the same results, but I’m...

@britteoc As far as I know you have to delete and start over

@tmoose Exactly that

@tmoose I do!

@tmoose I have the assisted version on my first upper body day, the weighted ones after my close grip bench on the second one.

@dawn16 Toward the end of the mesocycle I take about 45 minutes but that’s longer

@dawn16 I don’t think so. It programs according to their methodology. For perspective, each session take between 35-45 minutes to complete on a 5 day per week program.

@dawn16 The best PLers, natty or otherwise, spend the vast majority of the year essentially bodybuilding. It’s why the modern powerlifter would also be a great natty BBer

@jeloussss Those were the fucking days lmfao, how’ve you been!

@dawn16 Did we just become best friends?

Hey y’all Back again with another mesocycle update Some changes: This is mesocycle 3, 6 weeks long (as opposed to 4 for the first, 5 for the second) I made this one a little more “powerlifting” with my rep range test week and kept my bench to 225x10, safety bar squat to 335x8, and sumo...

@benlunda2006 I’m in the middle of week 3 at present; and it’s hard to say if it’s “working” That said, the workouts are fun, fast and efficient.

@weeppee Exactly that. Could be a turnoff for some

@maria28 For what it’s worth, this is exactly what the training app has me doing, and I’m making insane strength gains and my weight keeps climbing up with minimal fat gain

@cassandra27 I’m more familiar with juggernaut than evolve because it was big in powerlifting circles first. At first it was a meme because of the crazy volume, but I wonder if that was really user error
