im sick of these tortuous redd!t ass minimalist low volume powershitter routines
will it work to just do 3x12 of all the major lifts on linear progression 2x a week

Enjoy being weak. There's nothing more enjoyable than repping weights with ease that 3x13s can't even unrack

8x3 or GTFO

>>76454668
>8x3 or GTFO
3x6 bloody cock

If you can do a third set for 12 reps, then you didn't hit the first 12 rep set close to failure.

>>76454660 (OP)
Just do 10x10 like me. One lift per session. I’ve never seen my body change and adapt so fast.

I’m also not destroying my joints by lifting weights that cause failure in 5 or less reps.

>>76454731
100 reps accumulates wear too, even if forces aren't as high as when lifting non bitch weights

3 working sets is fatiguemaxxing

>>76454718
i dont want to be training close to failure almost ever. with linear progression some failure is an eventuality. on the day failure is reached on a 3x12, the trainer will have put in more work on that day vs minimal routines where 1 rep is a significant proportion of the workout. i don't care if scientists predict muscle growth is a few % slower. it also sucks to be gassed as hell for 15 minutes after moving the weight 5 times

these ridiculous cruel & unusual torture routines of like 12 doubles at 99.7% training max that hectoring redd!t nephilem worshippers tell you you're a pussy for not doing, if you come in fatigued/unrecovered and fail them post-reset then you're completely defeated & haven't done any work

>>76454771
training to mild discomfort is exactly why people spend 5 years at the gym and look the same then accuse everyone on steroids

>>76454802
lack of progression is what leads to stagnation

>>76454750
Low stress repetitions allow the connective tissue to adapt along with the muscle. Muscle gets stronger more quickly than other soft tissue which leads to injuries

>>76454819
>Low stress repetitions allow the connective tissue to adapt along with the muscle
Adapt to what? Bitch weight forces?

>Muscle gets stronger more quickly than other soft tissue which leads to injuries
So increase weight slowly over a long period of time

>>76454771
>>76454816
if you can linearly progress with the same set/rep scheme it means that you cheated yourself and picked initial weights that do not stimulate growth

>>76454864
>3x12 with linear progression
>add weights until you cant do 3x12
>try again or drop the weight until you can do 3x12 at the failure weight
progression is inevitable

theres a reason you dont start 531 at training max, but suddenly when you do the same thing for 3x12 it's cheating yourself? ah ok

Vs.
>alternate between high and low rep routines
>do strength routine until things get sore and then switch to high rep to rehab joints and allow tendons to catch up
>get strong
>look great
You should post your body :) Let’s see what kk da results you’ve been getting from those big boy weights you lift

>>76454920
Daddy didn't pay enough attention to you big boy?

>>76454920
nigboi roided for this btw

all the vitriol and criticism from thing-explainers in this thread is convincing me that this is the perfect routine

>>76454660 (OP)
it doesnt matter, assuming your failure is 14-15 reps.

>>76454802
This is absolutely true
>>76454660 (OP)
What I've been doing and I'm by no means an expert, is full body 3xweek. 1 chest 1 back 1 leg compound + accessories 10 reps 3 sets to failure, that is never reach 10 in more than 1 set or you are lifting too light.
Works for me. Just have to test bigger weights from time to time because my brain is retarded and sometimes puts a hard limit when I can actually lift more

What a pathetic existence. Shouldn’t you be loitering on some railroad tracks? You’re gonna miss the train, ranjesh :)

200% accurate bro

>have a disagreement over how to do thing

Very gay. Are you on roids btw?

you gotta do 6 sets of 30 for that ULTRA deeeeep stretch. Don't forget dropsets, supersets, etc to really get those microtears and build toned bulky muscle and not empty non-functional muscle. Also only do barbell compound lifts. Chest-supported rows, chest flies and hack squats build empty weak muscle and everyone will laugh at you. No need to thank me brah

I start at sets of 8 and increase to 12 then increase the weight

>>76455415
By the way, I just do heavy compounds followed my medium to lightweight isolations. What's wrong with that?

Opinion Discarded.

>>76455438
This.
I do 4x12 but basically,
If I can complete my 4 sets of 12, time to up the weight and drop back to 8.
then every session try to up the reps until you can do 12 again.

>not doing 14x88's
hello, NGMI department? I need to file a claim.

dyel?
>>76455574
There’s nothing wrong with that. When I’m bulking and chasing PR’s that’s exactly what I do. As a general rule of thumb, exercises that work a large amount of muscles = higher weight, lower reps. Isolations are the opposite.
