>changed to 2 sets for all exercises instead of 3>go to failure/1RIR instead of near failure>gains are the samewhy the fuck would i want to spend 2 hours in the gym, volume is a fucking meme
What if enjoy being at the gym and weight training?
>>76795301your failure is someones elses startnext time stop being a pussy and do high dose of caffeine, beta alanine or some other stimulant that will make your weak willed dopamine destroyed CNS workalso stop doomscrolling you dumb zoomie
>>76795301Everyone here is gonna say Jeremy is brown and DYEL and cringe soience lifter, but he inspired me to get fit so I thank him
>>76795301I have never spent 2 fucking hours at the gym, negro. Yeah, I do believe volume is a bit overrated but nobody can't deny many reps with less weight than a PR get you swollen if done right.2 sets is too damn low. 3x5 is the minimum accepted.
>>76795342But if you do 3x5 your only doing one of my sets in your whole workout.
>>76795346Yeah but with way more weight, making me objectively better than you.
>>76795352>someone who spends more time in the gym resting than lifting thinks this makes him objectively better Whats your bench? Ohp? Barbell shrug?
>RIR in 2026Kike isrealtel died you know
>>76795301All well and good, but what's your frequency?
>>76795366ppl 6 days a week
>>76795301You could have just eaten more senpai idk
failure and volume is a false dichotomy.Just do both, you fucking idiot!
>>76795419Wait what, this is what fit is on in current year? shouldn't failure be a must? specially if you are aiming for volume? wtf
>>76795301Taken to its logical conclusion you should just do 1 set, 1 rep, 100% effort every work out.
>>76795442nah bro 8 sets of 40 reps for muh volume
If you spend more than an hour at the gym, you are wasting some of that time resting too long, fucking around, and just being generally inefficient.If you're not totally exhausted at the hour mark, you are doing everything all wrong.
>>76795442That's more a critique on maxing out than what he said.
>>76795442Huh... It's as if Mentzer was right
>>76795301>why the fuck would i want to spend 2 hours in the gym, volume is a fucking memeI know that sounds weird, but some people enjoy lifting.
>>76795442They'll never get it. I've been doing his Consolidated routine and it works
>>76795312>>76795544If you can stay fresh for an entire 2 hour session you really aren't going hard enough.
>>76795301switched to 2 sets when i started cutting, its also mentally less exhausting to do 1/3 less and you can really go all out on those 2 sets. training 6 days a week, this seems to be sweet spot for recovery. i just might keep doing it this way after the cut
>>76795623I'm going hard enough inside your ass
Yeah I've been doing two sets for a while now and it is objectively better. People who do 3xWhatever straight across are either dogging the first two sets and only getting close to failure on the last, or their form goes to shit on the last two sets, or are taking 5 minute breaks and slowly powerbloating themselves to transcendancy. With two sets you go hard both sets, dropping the weight for the second if you need to to get around the same number of reps, and life is just better.I do continue to do 3 sets for shoulder raises because it feels hard to target my side delts otherwise but beyond that, two it is.
>>76795301the problem is most ppl, including urself are not able to truly exercise a certain muscle with just 2 sets. knowing how to train ur muscle and just pushing or pulling with brute strength until you can't do no more are 2 different things. i can't stop laughing when i go to gym and look at 95%+ ppl die trying/ little do thy know they aren't actually doing shit and when they don't grow but others do, its the roooid.
i just stopped lifting, problem solved
>>76795301Why not just do one set then? It would have all the same benefits you're espousing.
My fren is a personal trainer and he uses VBT with his clients, least time, most results. Or so he claims, he has data to prove it, or so he claims, i don't really care. I'm a casual.
>>76796105>VBTdumb, doesn't target the muscle intendedIntensity is TUT
>>76796121>Measuring velocity doesn't target a muscleAnon, are you mentally disabled?
>>76796124keep jerking the weight around and using momentum, retard
>>76796270you make no sense at all
>>76795301Good idea. Why don’t you post body and show us your gains?
>>76795346Is your goal getting massive and strong? Then go heavy on 3x5. If you really take care of your resting period you’ll be heading home in a bit more than 1 hour.Wanna get toned and capture girls attention? Then jump on 3x12-15 and spend more than 1,5 hours at the gym.Choice is yours.
>>76795442how about 0 reps?
>>76795301Whats Dr Kike Israel opinion on this matter?
>>76795301>volume is a fucking memeUnless you have goals besides just hypertrophy. I do a modified GVT that works maximal strength, hypertrophy, and muscular endurance.
>>76795301took you this long to figure it out. mike mentzer figured this out in 1978. hypertrophy is binary, not gradient.
>>76795301I like low reps high sets, like start at 1-5 then some 4-8 to work on stabilizing muscles and/or specific fiber hypertrophy. Flat out doing 5 sets of legit failure 1-3rms though is sick for building dense muscle if you dont fuck form and get impingement too, also assuming you nail the sets. Or additionally some 5x5rm 1-2min dropsets are my go to for myofibrillar vs sarcoplasmic development if you want some shit that you probably dont have in your repertoire.
>>76795342Kek. Hello my fellow ñero
