Title: The ultimate muscle building bible
Post by: TRIX on October 15, 2017, 11:17:59 PM
What's worked best for you to actually build Muscle (drugs and food aside)

Sets per body part a week

XX

Repetitions per set

XX

Tempo (slow, medium, fast, fast conc/slow eccentric)

XX

Form (perfect form, bit of cheating, a lot of cheating/momentum

XX

Tally up the results at the end and see some anecdotal evidence

Fairly heavy (80%+ 1RM) triples and 5's done in sets of 10 did more for me but was less sustainable than say a typical 4x8 @70%1RM - so.......
In short bursts 10x3's , 10x5's
For longer cycles 4-6 sets x 8-12 reps.

Never did over 8 sets a body part and usually it was 6 sets. Talking over 4 decades. In retrospect I wonder if I would have looked better if I used lighter weight and more sets with less rest time between.

This book and or ANY course written by Vince Gironda. Laugh all you want...but Vince's shit is legit. He was ahead of his time.

very likely, and your joints would thank you as well.

Don't run or focus on cardio, even if caloric surplus

Strengthwise, low reps and volume. 10 - 12 sets of 3.

Sizewise, volume again. Moderate intensity(70 - 80% of 1rm), 10-12 sets divided by 2-3 exercises per body part. 8 - 10 reps per set.

Getting better at a lift? Volume again. Like Schemansky used to say, if you want to press more, press more.

Pull-up,bench and deadlift done at 75% 1 max rep, until failure. Repeat until you pass out.
