Thread 76503305

are yall fucking stupid? honestly, i see people posting these 3x6, 5x5

do you really think there is any magical thing about these numbers? go read a book about programming you lazy fuck

>>76503357
no they aren't stupid, they're shitposting. you're stupid

i did 3x6 then went to 3x5 and don't really regret it

>>76503305 (OP)
guys hear me out...

>>76503305 (OP)
Rep range literally doesn't matter as long as you go to failure. You will grow no matter what with reps between 5 and 30.

>>76503848
>5
Singles, doubles, triples, and the oft neglected set of 4 work too.
>30
It's trickier ime but yeah.

>>76503305 (OP)
Heh, that's nothing.

>>76503305 (OP)
Isnt it better to do reps until you physically cant anymore?

>>76503305 (OP)
7x4 is peak. 4x7, on the other hand, is liable to get you killed in many gyms (and it would be justified)

>>76503933
Not in my experience. Even just zero reps in reserve, in other words as many as I can do but not failing the last one, helps my recovery tremendously. Up to 4 reps in reserve also works just as well if you do enough sets and these sets can be good practice. Especially if they're heavy singles and you can do like 10 of them.

>do you really think there is any magical thing about these numbers?
Yes unironically

>>76503357
what book?

bump

>>76503305 (OP)
3x3=18

It really is that easy

>>76503357
>he doesn't think there's power in belief
The numbers are important

>>76503305 (OP)
I'm more of a prime numbers kind of guy.

You need to maximize the overall weight moved if you are into bodybuilding.
Let’s say you can bench press 70 kg for 3×10 reps and 80 kg for 3×6 reps.
70x3x10 = 2100 kg total weight moved
80x3x6 = 1,440 kg total weight moved
By increasing the weight and decreasing reps, you reduce the total volume by about 40%, which means fewer microtears and less muscle growth.
On the other hand, if you are into powerlifting, then the opposite applies: you need to maximize weight and minimize the reps while not injuring yourself.

>>76505897
That's not how it works, you can do 10x10 for 21kg and move the same weight but don't tell me you get the same "microtears" and muscle growth just by moving the bar for so many reps.
Strength training is more about managing fatigue while training close to your max, you don't want to go to muscular failure because what's more important than a single training is your ability to actually get quality reps every single workout. You can and should incorporate high rep schemes to have a base to build off your lower rep work.

I try to do 10 of everything because it’s a nice round number.

You will as long as the final sets feel like hell. 10×10 burns three to four times more calories than doing 3×10 and takes much longer, and gives you terrible fatigue. So, if you’re doing more than two exercises at the gym and don’t want to spend hours there with every exercise feeling like torture, you’re better off sticking with 2-4 sets.

>>76505968
anything more than 1 rep is cardio and kills your gains

>they made circumcised trucks a thing

>>76503954
Yah bro. I tell people, instead of obsessing about the numbers, follow some basic principles.
hypertrophy: get a pump lifting a heavy weight
strength: lift heavy weights while fresh
simple, really.

>>76506313
it's easier to get a pump lifting a less than heavy weight

>>76506331
Depends what you mean by heavy. 70-80% 1rm is good. Lots of sets of 5 with 1-2 min rest periods. You'll get a pump with a heavy weight.

>>76503940
This, saw a newbie at my gym try 4x7 the other day and they had to carry the poor guy out in an urn

>>76503402
I'm listening...

>>76503928
mirin' the size of these rigs
>>76506100
cabovers were originally designed because of length limits for trucks. they clearly have some other advantage because people still use them even though those laws aren't in effect anymore, but i don't know why cause I'm not a trucker. visibility maybe?
