@micmic0929 So that’s essentially saying something like a 1000 calorie day would work to average things out?

@ronyrana He probably hurts others feelings for believing in dumb ass shit Dr Mike > alt science internet idiots

@katma Another dumb comment Plenty of amazing hypertrophy gains from doing say calf raise sets of 20-25, chest press for 12, tricep and bicep work 10-20 You sound like you’re out of shape

@katma By your logic, just 1RM everytime because the other reps don’t count When did people get so dumb about this shit? Volume is the main driver behind hypertrophy and it’s not up for debate

@katma In a vacuum, the calf muscle is no different from the rest but when taken in terms of practicality, loading up the bar to do calf raises will cause unnecessary axial loads/fatigue that will compromise other areas of training. Plus using such a heavy load for something like the calves will...

@greyowl Good scientists always update their perspectives. It’s the dumbasses who stick to their guns no matter what, avoid those shills

@johnc101 Because by going as hard as possible with each rep in a higher rep scheme you’re likely wasting systemic energy rather than tiring the target muscle out Also volume absolutely equals hypertrophy, but remember weight is a component of volume. So yes you need between 5-30 rep sets per...

@johnc101 Because I’m lifting more volume in the end by conserving energy in the first few reps as I’m able to bang out a few extra reps Volume = hypertrophy, so if I move the same weight more times I should objectively have better results than lifting less regardless of intent

@johnc101 Let me clarify that I am still lifting with intent, force, and good technique but I’m sorry there is no way you should try as hard on rep 1 as rep 15, you’ll gas yourself out much sooner especially on compounds where systemic fatigue is a much greater factor

@bdeninthesky I literally read it and responded in a larger comment, open your eyes kid

@johnc101 I mean if I’m doing a working set of say 15 reps, you better believe I’m not pushing as hard on rep 1 as rep 13, going 100% on early reps are just wasting systemic energy. Just because you “try” harder on a rep does not mean you magically get more gains

@bdeninthesky So you skip to the conclusions and abstract and disregard the two most important sections of research articles - Methods and results Typical armchair Reddit “scientist” lol

@kpatrick1111 Where is the actual data? Conclusions can be spun in millions of different ways

@bort I was pumping my numbers up on the squat only to find my legs still lagging in size. Turns out I was using all posterior chain and virtually no quads I instead ditched true squats in favor for smith machine squats with squat shoes. Lowered the weight, got full rom, felt the burn and pump...

@kpatrick1111 Funny how it just talks about relative risk in relation to the low protein groups vs high protein groups and nothing about absolute risk For all we know, a high protein diet could maybe take your absolute chances of kidney impact from 0.02% to 0.06%. But the author spins this as...

@joy314 Exactly, idk why people think 6 sets is enough in a single week lol like not even close regardless of going to failure If you take more than a week to recover a muscle group then either you need to seriously deload and reset, or there is something fundamentally wrong

@becknps Recommended volume is 10-20 sets per week for hypertrophy If you only train chest once a week you damn well need more than 6 sets Now if you do chest twice a week, 6 sets per session is within the optimal hypertrophy range but probably some more is better There is an over correction...

@hu%E1%BB%874734 Yes! I’ve made little progress on my bulk trying to do it clean with fiber, I have embraced sugary and fatty snacks and am finally starting to move the needle this bulking session It’s hard to undo good habits from a successful cut

@satan_loves_you What’s wrong with pop tarts for bulking especially before a workout? Carb heavy snack before lifting can be amazing
