The key to stimulating muscle growth is intensity, probably
>>77299232KYS
>>77299232This seems to be my experience after a good while of liftan.Nowadays I just do two sets to failure per movement, two movements per muscle group, with lotsa rest days
>>77299232And steroids
>>77299475My 2nd set is lower in reps than my 1st. Maybe I should just do one?
i take long breaks between sets(20minutes to an hour)and i exercise throughout the dayi don't how effective this is lmao i do it because it's comfy. i can do a perfect set every timeif i take only a 2 minute rest my 2nd set will be shitty
>>77299232It’s volume, actually. But you do you.>>77299440Long nosed nigger bug streetshitting paki
>>77299232Heavy 3-6 reps until failure is the only way naturally
>>77301012>Heavy>3-6 repslmao sweet dyel
>>77299475Same. After travelling the sets/reps world, either 2x10 and 3x8 work best for me.
>>77299232Close enough, I think controlled intensity is better like the effective reps model. If you need ~12 effective reps per exercise (reps within 5 of failure) to grow you can get there a single pause set. Or 4x1rir sets or 1 set with 2 rir 1 set with 1 rir and 1 to failure. The list can go on but really just putting some amount of intensity in the equation at all is enough.Unfortunately failure doesn't occur everywhere involved in a lift all at once so you either need a ton of lifts or rotate them periodically to eventually balance the deficiencies created by the last lift.
>>77300441>do 100 sets of 10 curls with 5 lbs dumbbells>get no gainzHow exactly is it volume again?
>>77299491If you're going to failure on the first of course the second will be lower. My working two sets on incline dumbbell bench is like 10 reps then 6
Muscle is built when you rest. Ironic isn’t it
>>77299491>>77301544You’re supposed to take 10-20% of the weight off for the second set
>>77299232I prefer an intense and short training, not a mediocre and long one so I practice the HIT principle.

>>77299232I used to resist this but I hit a plateau with normie rep cadence and switched to drew baye's 5-2-5 controlled, even though I dropped weight per movement, I'm feeling muscle soreness after workouts again and looking a little more defined than I used to. I'm only a month into this but I'll do prog pics in about 4 months to compare.>>77302623based
>>77301608I do not. Back when I'd do it with lower rep ranges then yeah.
