THE MYTH 0F REP RANGES AND HYPERTR0PHY

[apply85]

I am 5'8 140, like 9-10% bodyfat, not a big guy, I am 100% natural except for ephedrine, but I look bigger than this. Reason I weigh this much is I have a small waist and thin bones in general, but I look pretty good. I was always the skinniest kid around, I dunno why, thyroid maybe, I don't look bad esp for someone who hardly works out the upper body because of shoulder problems

Sounds like you're my size

[asbrus]

well then post a pic of someone that trains no more than 3 reps for legs and show me how fully developed the 3 main heads of the quad are. post a pic of what someone training ONLY 3 reps looks like...you obviously have seen the pics to be talking about them, so post them up..."sigh"  

THERE ARE T0NS 0F VIDS AND PICS 0F 0LY LIFTERS. EVERY0NE KN0WS THEY MASSIVE LEGS. WHY WASTE TIME P0STING VIDS T0 A RETARD WH0 STILL HAS N0 IDEA WHAT THIS THREAD AB0UT 0F S0METHING ANY0NE CAN SEE? AGAIN THERE IS REALLY N0 DEBATE HERE. MY P0INT WAS THAT 0NE CAN BUILD MASSIVE LEGS IN THE 1-3 REP RANGE EVIDENT BY 0LY LIFTERS WH0 TRAIN THIS WAY AND YES IT IS MUSCLE. MUCH M0RE THAN Y0UR R0IDED UP BBER WITH 30 IUS 0F INSULIN AND GH. SECRET STACK AFTER 6 PAGES Y0U STILL HAVE N0 FUCKING IDEA WHAT THE P0INT 0F THIS THREAD WAS.

Y0U'RE C0MPARING THE LEG DEVEL0PMENT 0F A BBER AND AN 0LY LIFTER. WHY CAN'T Y0U UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS N0T WHAT THIS THREAD WAS AB0UT? THE P0INT WAS Y0U CAN BUILT MASSIVE LEGS IN THE 1-3 REP RANGE AND N0 Y0U CAN'T IS0LATE A P0RTI0N 0F THE QUAD. THAT'S A MYTH. THE WH0LE MUSCLE FIRES. AND Y0U CANN0T SHAPE A MUSCLE BY D0ING HIGHER REPS EITHER. THE SHAPE 0F THE QUADS IS DICTATED BY GENETICS. SIZE IS DICTATED BY TRAINING.

For those that have more than a passing interest in OL training, These two are good books-

http://www.amazon.com/Science-Practice-Strength-Training-Second/dp/0736056289 .

http://www.amazon.com/Weightlifting-Encyclopedia-Guide-World-Performance/dp/0965917924/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318104326&sr=1-1

Plus the Everett and Kono books are excellent.

It's extremely myopic to say country x trains low reps exclusively, so x is right, it's like the Mentzer HIT people with their bull headedness.

As mentioned, the Russians, Chinese, etc...... all trained the ancillary lifts through a bit broader rep range sometimes, and if they need hypertropy, they used blocks of lifts that were closer to powerlifting or power bodybuilding. The Chinese are very famous for this now.

Also, you are only looking at a small piece of training time in a career that might be 15-20 years. For instance under the Russian system, the first three years when the lifters are pre-teens or so, are things like running, push ups, swimming, and other things just to get them fit. Next was technique and general strength work, etc..... for long blocks of time. As the lifter gets older much more time is given over to to singles, doubles, and triples in the main lifts. But there are loooooooong blocks of time where they were working in most rep ranges, excluding the really high ones. So their base was built with a much broader rep scheme.
