2 reps for power
6 reps for strength
8 reps for mass
12 reps for cuts
20 reps for tone but careful not to overtrain

Also be sure to "rip the bar apart" and hit the muscle from "all angles" oh brother.

Thanks and good luck.

You forgot to "row the bar down to your chest" as you rip it apart. Only then are you a bench press master.

Thank you for this.  You can never be too careful.

One time I did a nine rep set.  I think it confused my body as on how to react, so that's likely why nothing happend.

On my first ever cycle, I only ate 500 kcals more per day and made the classic error of not 'eating like a beast to become a beast'.

Not sure what you are thinking with this "nine reps" business GA.  Please see the chart I generously provided above, free of charge for now.

There is no overtraining BigCyp, only undereating.

GOD help you if you ever do get a spot on the 9th rep, this doing an 8.5 rep set.
I suspect your ass might explode if that should occur.

What if you super set for 2 reps then 6?

Do you get more power AND strength? Or mass? Bodybuilding is so confusing.

Felt a little heavy so was looking to add some cuts.  Was going for 12 but kicked my gallon milk jug of water while attempting to "drive from the legs".  Foot slipped and had to stop a 9.  Did not want to do another set and over train.  Thought muscle was "stimulated" enough.

Being a bodybuilder it would be too time consuming an endeavour, writing out every copy in crayon.

As it is I have to use the speech to text function to post here.

You never know when a volcano will form on your hometown and erupt.  You'll need those kipping pull ups and muscle ups to avoid the lava.

This is a very important question.

Was probably overlooked as their CNS's are burned...

Some great information on this thread.
I'm looking forward to putting them in practice. It shall hopefully lead to impressive new gains.
Just hope I don't end up getting too big. Don't wanna end up looking like the Hulk. :o
