@needheaven This highlights a problem. Is more volume load with a lower rpe better than a lower volume load with higher rpe? Is a flat progression better than dynamic progression (where you lower loads to keep reps while going closer to failure)
@heyjoewhereyagoin Haha exactly the same! Got golfers elbow that way over a year ago and it's still not gone. Have to use straps on everything and warmup the elbow thoroughly before heavy pulling
@sharleeg Thanks for the pic! I've actually tried it but didn't like it. Could be because I did more of a fly than a press. Do you have any technique cues to make it feel better?
@lishanaidoo Fuck science in this case. If telling you the moon is made out of cheese makes you train harder more often then the moon is made out of cheese
@sisi He wrote this in his book muscle and strength pyramid (which is really good btw)
Hypertrophy: Perform ⅔ – ¾ of volume in the 6–12 rep range, remaining ¼ – ⅓ split between the 1–6 and 15–20 rep ranges, at a 5–10 RPE.
@heartofanevangelist 13,4lbs of muslce in 10 weeks ON AVERAGE with gear. Some got even more. The sad part about that study though is that the people on gear that didn't workout at all gained more muscle than the naturals that did.
@jbreyes777 How is your warmup? Also try for high reps by doing jack knife pullups instead of regular ones and don't go to failure. Any pain at all means you're doing too much right now.
@lostsoul_ The general recommendation is 2-4 frequency. Hitting a muscle two times a week with half the session volume should give you more high quality reps.
