Remember, it's not just the number of reps you do that matters, it's HOW you do them. Make sure you are doing them right with this video here => ruclips.net/video/vKDYfRtfqng/видео.html
It would've been helpful if you'd stated the point at the end, because that made absolutely 100% no sense. You didn't say HOW to use that information, you just said you can move the green dot and that you have to understand your training, but you didn't say what moving the green dots means or what that understanding of training is. What do those things mean???? Maybe the people who already know what you are saying understand it, but for those of us who are new to this, it makes no sense at all. I'm far from stupid; I'm a 4.0 GPA. Weight lifting, however, is new to me, so I need an explanation, please.
@@shivasharma1342 Hey there, I hope that you and all of your loved ones are well, if not we will be praying for them. It would mean the world for you to give me 5 minutes of your time by reading this. I would love to tell you about Jesus and what he truly did. This is what Jesus said, ““For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him]." John 3:16-18 AMP
Jesus is the Son of God. Before He came into the world, He and God were in perfect union. When God good made humans everything was perfect until we sinned against Him. Here is a problem: God is good, just, all-loving and perfect. And because He is a Just, Good and all knowing Judge, He can not forgive us. Since He is a Good and Just Judge He has to punish us for our sins, which He will do in Hell. But out of His Love for us, He sent Jesus, who willingly choose to come into the world out of His Love for us. He came into the World and lived a perfect life… but was crucified according to the will of God, so that God can forgive you and me of our sins He died so that you can be forgiven. Rejoice, and shout for Joy! Because three days later He rose again from death, and now as we speak He is enthroned with all power and authority. He lives so that you can live. There is real Freedom, Peace, Hope, and Joy which can only be found in Jesus. Repent (turn away from your sins) and turn to Christ who will definitely forgive all of your sins and He will make you a completely new person. Thank you for getting this far, it truely means everything thing to me that you know this truth. I love you, and I pray that you and all your loved ones may come to know Christ, so that all you can be in the coming earth with Jesus forever.
Jeff, I am also a Physical Therapist and I usually never comment on any video blog on RUclips. However, this time I felt to leave one. I must say that you really combine the fundamentals of Physical therapy and Strength conditioning into your videos impeccably. Unlike other trainers who just advise PREs with increasing reps, you diligently pay attention to eccentric unloading, biomechanics, different types of levers for mechanical advantage, and other critical tidbits. Great going and wish you all the best.
My physical therapist told me to work out like this and my gains were incredible... Had everyone talking about it in the gym especially for how out of shape I stared at the gym.
As a doctor, I appreciate the level of professional advice. We need more of this and less "bro" science and muscle magazine workouts. Great info. Has been helping me achieve my best physique at 46 yrs old.
Long story short, QUALITY reps (getting the mind muscle connection and the squeeze in the target muscles), along with moderate loads/intensity (to meet the mechanical load threshold) is the optimal formula for hypertrophy.
@@caleschnell the problem is that it takes too long to finish my sessions, usually hour and a half to two hours. I will make it only two exercices for arms (triceps and Biceps) instead of 3 since i am not seeing much growth especially in my truceps, what do you think?
My notes: If you are training for strength then your goal with every exercise should be to make it as efficient as possible. On a bench press for example, you would want to be sure that you are pressing the bar with good speed along an optimal bar path with all muscles contributing to the lift. If on the other hand you were trying to use the bench press as a hypertrophy exercise for the chest in particular, you would want to find a way to lessen the contribution of the triceps and shoulders and more favorably press with the chest. In addition, you would want to make the movement more inefficient by spending more time on the negative of each rep as well as holding and squeezing the contraction of the pecs at the top of every rep as much as possible. If instead you were trying to train for hypertrophy and muscle growth then you would want to apply this concept of movement inefficiency to every exercise you did.
@@douglasgaunt537 It's when you're taking back the weight to the initial starting point after having moved it. Take a bicep curl: the positive (also called CONCENTRIC) is when you lift it up and your bicep fibers shorten. The negative (also called ECCENTRIC) is when you bring it back down so you can start again. The idea here is that according to Jeff, this negative (bring the weight back down) done SLOWLY is a good stimulus for muscle growth.
And there is a study suggesting that you can get 25% more gains if you focus on the eccentric part. That means that only 33% of the gains come from concentric, so you should do it as fast as you can and control the eccentric.
Thank you for this most excellent tutorial - it has changed my workout completely. I am 73 years “young” and workout at our gym 4 to 5 days a week. I now incorporate the things I’ve learned from your tutorial into absolutely everything I train… and I love it! I only do light weights but the amount of burn I get from using your method is phenomenal. Again… thank you! UPDATE: My spouse works out at our gym three times a week. She has now changed her mundane routine to this new way. She can now barely move - and she loves it!!
This has to be the most influential and informative channel for fitness on YT. This guy has gotten me from 148lbs to 180lbs damn near all muscle following his hypertrophy advice
From the looks of all the comments in this thread, I'm guessing you're not going to see the hashtag "no homo" in anybody's comment. Sorry, girls - I'm in the wrong section.
Jeff doesn’t use an eraser on the white board. He doesn’t even erase it with his hand. He waves at the ink and scares it away. Serious note; thank you for all you do for people Jeff. You have tremendously helped me through the years.
That's so stupid, of course he doesn't. Walnuts over a long period of time does nothing to progressively overload the muscles that contract your eyelids, it'll just stretch them, causing you to require to explore your eyelids' new ranges of motion. Jeff performs either cable one eyelid rows, or weighted eye dips using a dog leash and 45lbs plate in order to encourage muscle damage.
doesnt matter that much, with alot compound exercises its even better to hold breath during the concentric movement because it increases stability, and strength. the reason why people say you have to breath out during movement is because in ultra rare cases the blood pressure becomes too high which results in fainting. it has nothing to do with the uptake from oxygen . choose how to breath, can be different depending on exercise, just go with what gives you the best result/power output. there are no reliable studies yet that proof that holding your breath during a rep is bad
@@03Kursad always remember this.. "muscle is a byproduct of strength". Train everyday to increase your strength. Note down your heaviest weight and its rep count on key lifts like bench press, shoulder press, deadlift, squat, bar curls and triceps. Try and beat that every time you hit gym, making new record every now and then. Thats how strength is made. And thats what result in muscle. Quantitatively analyse your progress in such a way. Otherwise you would be grinding everyday with all these stuff you hear on internet without knowing weather you are actually making any progress. So whatever you are doing, keep a track of your heaviest weight with its reps (typically 4-6 rep range) on key lifts i mentioned. So you would know if some technique you are working on is actually making any progress or not. Simple as that. For eg this is my log of key lifts i track:- BP - 80kg/5 SP - 40kg/6 Tricep PD - 9 plates/10 Pullups - 10kg/5 Biceps DB Hammer- 15/10 Lunges - 50kg/5 LP 40/8 This gives u an idea i hope. Or you could always take steroids .jk XD . dont.
finally figured out how Jeff is able to push out so much content with new ideas - at 1:35 you can clearly see there is a second Jeff in the background making another video. The question now becomes, just how many Jeffs are there?
Should have done a skit at the end where jeff looks around the gym to see if anyone is there, then he tries the robot curl and starts getting into it but half way through jessy walking in and he switch back to normal curls quickly like nothing happened xD
Been training for30 years and you always give me something else to consider. Thanks for all your hard work effort on your channel, I have been a subscriber for years.
I'm 55 , been working out since I was 18 or so. Variable frequency and intensity.Since subscribing, I notice my exercises and technique not so great. Shoulder problems now. You've helped tremendously, i'm back into it again with less pain. Thanks E.....
So you can lower the weight and use a single muscle to do most of the work, and as that muscle gets fatigued, you can utilize the other synergistic muscles to assist more as needed, thereby keeping the intensity high for the particular muscle you're targeting the entire set.
Thanks, i had a little trouble understanding what he said, it seemed like he was saying isolate the muscle which was confusing since we know compound lifts are way better, now i see what he means, thanks.

Just wanna say: i watched your videos as an athlete and as a personal trainer and they have helped in both aspects. We appreciate you Jeff, keep up the good work
i knew most of this but the way he frames it is genius making it all fit together and giving you a bigger picture and deeper understanding of individual aspects loved it
It's not that Jeff accidentally miscounted but he wanted the graph to be at regular intervals like 1,6,11 but since he wrote 10 he replaced the six with 5.
I think he's talking about increased visibility of Jeff's vasculature due to the vasodilation from the heat in the room, which is simply for aesthetic purposes.
Thank you. I’ve been training for building lean muscle/weight gain for 2 months. Using your tips along with a few other trainers, I went from 145 to 170 in 2 months. Now that I got my momentum, I’ve been having questions about the details, in which you answers all my questions so far. Now more than ever before in my life I get compliments almost everywhere I go. Keep producing the fine details in a scientific way and I’ll stay subscribed for life! I’ll also keep you updated with my growth over time.
@@TPK_MAKG I took some natural test boost supplements for a few weeks. Some mix of herbs. But after research i stopped taking them. I also started drinking more water and taking creatine. The boost in waterweight combined with newbie gains gave me a huge boost. I also went from having little fat to storing lots of it. During the day i drank a meal replacement shake with my protein powder just in between meals. At night i would make a casein protein shake. I stopped doing as much cardio especially when i got my electric scooter. I took melatonin pills to get better rest. That plus i was taking BCAA after everyworkout. I took beetroot powder plus 50 different greens in it with my preworkout.
Jacob Devine What about sleep and recovery? The most overlooked aspect. Anyone can hit macros with all the powders, and get to the gym and think thats good enough. But the gains come from proper rest and recovery. Something as simple as a bad mattress that makes your REM sleep spotty can be a big hinder in recovering.
It's been ten months. My left arm was the weak one with 15 inches in circumference. My right arm has 18 inches in circumference. My left arm is 21 inches in circumference. Your plan worked too well, sir.
@@Mike-be7uk def wrong I do it with my right hand and my right is stronger than my left hand BTW who told you this can affect muscles it can't only slow amounts are erected that can't affect them that much indeed doing it at night before you go sleep can increase your hormones and a better sleep....
Bottom line, to quote the great Arnold Schwarzenegger: you've got to get the mind-muscle connection. Lose the ego, grab a lighter weight, and start feeling the contraction of the muscle you're trying to work.
Most of population percentage of this planet won't have any idea what Jeff is talking about here.. But this the best body strength maintenance procedure ever. Luv it.. keep going jeff
It's a pity that we don't have athletes like you in Poland Who have so much - real knowledge. My English is not good enough to understand everything and benefit, but I try. Thank you.
implemented that too for a few weeks now ... works for some exercises better than others; what do you think of alternating between explosive and slow/controlled movementswhen performing an exercise?
@Thirsty Girl69 These are all great questions. I will be sure to cover some of them in my next Q and A on the channel, but I don't want to make you wait for an answer so I'll go over each for you here. To answer your first question, your frame is bigger so you will need to put on more muscle for it to show than a smaller frame person. This is showcased by the history of Mr. Olympia. I believe that Arnold and one other guy are the only people to ever win that were above 6 foot. Also, touching on training specifics, different hand and foot placements along with different variations of certain exercises will make your training more effective. For example, certain people find the sumo deadlift easier than the conventional due to limb length. Your next two questions go hand in hand. Rowing on a row machine is a good form of cardio. Cardio like @Christopher Har V should be down after lifting and or on off days. You do not need to perform cardio on lifting days, but if you choose to it should be after lifting (except for cardio used in your warm-up), As for your last question... I'm going to get pretty sciency so bear with me. From how you described yourself above, you seem to have a lot of type 1 fibers and not so many type 2. You can think of type 1 fibers as slow-twitch, type 2A as fast-twitch, and type 2x as intermediate-twitch fibers. Now intermediate-twitch fibers do not actually exist, but this term will suffice in describing them for the moment. We cannot change the number of type 1, type 2A, and type 2x we have in our bodies... this is solely determined by genetics. What we can do though, is take advantage of how our Type 2X fibers function. Type 2X fibers are very unique in that they are the only muscle fiber that really adapts and takes on different characteristics. What this means in simpler terms is that if you train for explosive movements, plyometrics, and athleticism your type 2X (intermediate twitch muscle) fibers will behave more like type 2A (fast -twitch muscle) fibers. If you train more for endurance, long-term exertion, and slower contractions your type 2X fibers will become more like your type 1 (slow-twitch muscle fibers). It is a long message, but if you are serious about finding answers these should be helpful to you!
Finally, a video that is not just about ''size, size, size". It's because that what people ask for, but please post more about power ,.Or include what tweaks, for functionality/ efficiency and power only, to make in your "get bigger X" videos.
Luis Robles explain how my comment implied Integrals arent taught in calculus? He just described integrals all I did was comment the technical term for his definition
And you can't even help them, because of their ego, or because maybe you are new, but try to be safer when exercising, but you don't feel validated cause... you are skinnier.
@@FieryHammer Yeah, I stopped helping other guys, because they got angry since I'm muscular but not a tank like them so they think my adice sucks. Okay bro, keep on doing upright rows and behind the neck barbell press.
10:31 I train metabollically and that's exactly what I tell myself! I always say "The set begins when the burn comes". Every rep prior to that is just uselessly leading up to it. It takes a lot of effort to push with the burn especially considering that higher rep counts increase your heart rate significantly. I really love that burn. Makes me think I'm truly training.
@@meti9230 I think you should use both. If it has to be one or the other, I would avoid higher reps as they aren't as efficient. You're doing a lot of useless work, and taking a lot of time to do it. And after a while of training, it becomes a nightmare to perform at an intensity that stimulates your muscles without feeling like you're doing a session of cardio for 80% of your set; and my full workout now typically last more than an hour. You're also not really gaining any strength because the weight is low and you activate mostly the slow twitch muscles; yes the fast twitch muscles do intervene when you start to fatigue, but at a very late point in the set you are no longer able to be explosive with the movement. I know we're talking about mass gain here, but strength and size go hand in hand. You get stronger > lift more > gain more.
@@detectivespoonan7603 I am still clueless after this video, and am just starting weights. I want strength, first and foremost, so how do you performs reps/sets to focus on strength? I do understand that mass will come, and I am cool with the increase. I just don't want to trade off size for strength.
@@TheStevenHarris For strength you should focus on compound movements (ones that require multiple muscles across multiple joints), doing low reps with high weight *that you can handle without relying too much on momentum,* and long rest periods between sets (90-120 secs). Look it up, I'm not an expert but those are the basics.
@@detectivespoonan7603 Thanks for the input. The only problem with looking it up, is there are as many opinions as there are hits in Google. You seemed to be talking from experience, and communicate it clearly. Appreciate the tip!!
Great Video.. thank you Batman and Robin .. Jesse is hilarious. . Serious, I love these videos as you guys not a huge frame and similar natural build to myself but explain the science and technique so well that is helping me learn and train at a late age. 63
Thank you Jeff... For far too long the question has been high or low reps. It all depends on your training GOALS! Thank you for touching on this factor and explaining in-depth that specificity is important.
Damn jeff, can you make a video on how to increase over all agility and speed? Cause at this point to win this competition I'll have to click on the link in less than 1 min if in to stand a chance

I would love to tell you about Jesus and what he truly did. This is what Jesus said,
““For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him.

John 3:16-18 AMP
Jesus is the Son of God. Before He came into the world, He and God were in perfect union.
When God good made humans everything was perfect until we sinned against Him.
Here is a problem: God is good, just, all-loving and perfect. And because He is a Just, Good and all knowing Judge, He can not forgive us. Since He is a Good and Just Judge He has to punish us for our sins, which He will do in Hell.
But out of His Love for us, He sent Jesus, who willingly choose to come into the world out of His Love for us.

He died so that you can be forgiven.

@@03Kursad always remember this.. "muscle is a byproduct of strength". Train everyday to increase your strength. Note down your heaviest weight and its rep count on key lifts like bench press, shoulder press, deadlift, squat, bar curls and triceps. Try and beat that every time you hit gym, making new record every now and then. Thats how strength is made. And thats what result in muscle. Quantitatively analyse your progress in such a way. Otherwise you would be grinding everyday with all these stuff you hear on internet without knowing weather you are actually making any progress. So whatever you are doing, keep a track of your heaviest weight with its reps (typically 4-6 rep range) on key lifts i mentioned. So you would know if some technique you are working on is actually making any progress or not. Simple as that. For eg this is my log of key lifts i track:-
BP - 80kg/5
SP - 40kg/6
Tricep PD - 9 plates/10
Pullups - 10kg/5
Biceps DB Hammer- 15/10
Lunges - 50kg/5 LP 40/8
This gives u an idea i hope.
Or you could always take steroids .jk XD . dont.
I never thought I'd use integrals at the gym.
😂😂😂😂
finally figured out how Jeff is able to push out so much content with new ideas - at 1:35 you can clearly see there is a second Jeff in the background making another video. The question now becomes, just how many Jeffs are there?
Lol

i didn't know Jeff could use the markers for something other than marking his muscles
😂 LOL
I mean even then, his muscles defined themselves by how lean he is
He noticed it led to inefficient muscular hypertrophy in the marked area, thus creating a muscle imbalance.
You beat me to it.

Yes Jeff is intense but his intensity in is in how much he cares about the quality of his teaching and the quality of our training. He’s so generous.

Dream collaboration - dom mazetti and Jeff 💪🏻
So you can lower the weight and use a single muscle to do most of the work, and as that muscle gets fatigued, you can utilize the other synergistic muscles to assist more as needed, thereby keeping the intensity high for the particular muscle you're targeting the entire set.
No way
Thanks, i had a little trouble understanding what he said, it seemed like he was saying isolate the muscle which was confusing since we know compound lifts are way better, now i see what he means, thanks.
How did him saying “squeeze” sound exactly like a squeeze?
Can you explain a little bit clear how to increase strength?

I'm fairly sure heat does not make you lose weight faster, if anything being cold helps more.
Lol
@@napjacob Correct, as your body uses more calories to maintain body temperature.
I think he's talking about increased visibility of Jeff's vasculature due to the vasodilation from the heat in the room, which is simply for aesthetic purposes.
i think he just meant he gets cold with his shirt off so he turns on the heat, you idiots
I really appreciate you helping me break the mentality of just counting 1 to 10; instead putting focus and intent into my workouts
Thank you. I’ve been training for building lean muscle/weight gain for 2 months. Using your tips along with a few other trainers, I went from 145 to 170 in 2 months. Now that I got my momentum, I’ve been having questions about the details, in which you answers all my questions so far. Now more than ever before in my life I get compliments almost everywhere I go. Keep producing the fine details in a scientific way and I’ll stay subscribed for life! I’ll also keep you updated with my growth over time.
hey, got a question, other than eating good, what else'd you do to increase your weight?
@@TPK_MAKG lol there’s 2 things, eating food and what this video is abt. Pushing heavy weights lol
So if I lift explosive and have 1 second negative, to 12 reps failure , it's useless?
@@TPK_MAKG I took some natural test boost supplements for a few weeks. Some mix of herbs. But after research i stopped taking them. I also started drinking more water and taking creatine. The boost in waterweight combined with newbie gains gave me a huge boost. I also went from having little fat to storing lots of it. During the day i drank a meal replacement shake with my protein powder just in between meals. At night i would make a casein protein shake. I stopped doing as much cardio especially when i got my electric scooter. I took melatonin pills to get better rest. That plus i was taking BCAA after everyworkout. I took beetroot powder plus 50 different greens in it with my preworkout.
i see jeff is doing calculus and integrals by finding the area under the graph. neat.
Jesse got gainz tbh. It's cool to see how far he's truly come. Props to Jesse for sticking to it
He doesnt seek gains
How many years Jesse been lifting now under Jeff? 2? He's still so small.
@@leanhanleleanah6929 he might not seek them but he got em
@@rykehuss3435 I've been lifting for 3 and I still look like a stick. I think, like Jesse, my main issue is diet
Jacob Devine What about sleep and recovery? The most overlooked aspect. Anyone can hit macros with all the powders, and get to the gym and think thats good enough. But the gains come from proper rest and recovery.
Something as simple as a bad mattress that makes your REM sleep spotty can be a big hinder in recovering.
To anyone saying that one arm is stronger than the other, just use the weaker arm in your daily “stress relief”
😂
Its that daily stress relief that makes it weaker
It's been ten months. My left arm was the weak one with 15 inches in circumference. My right arm has 18 inches in circumference. My left arm is 21 inches in circumference. Your plan worked too well, sir.
I just can't do it with the left🙄🤣
@@Mike-be7uk def wrong I do it with my right hand and my right is stronger than my left hand BTW who told you this can affect muscles it can't only slow amounts are erected that can't affect them that much indeed doing it at night before you go sleep can increase your hormones and a better sleep....

Bottom line, to quote the great Arnold Schwarzenegger: you've got to get the mind-muscle connection.

Thank u Tom. You did answer my qn that made me watch this entire video.
Also use steroids like he did
What I find works best. Do about 4 sets of proper form. Then max out. That way you get the best of both worlds
Did he just explained the difference between isolation and compound?
It's like cumming

@@attabaig6848 I'm trying to understand what Jeff means... do can you explain it to me in layman terms?
implemented that too for a few weeks now ... works for some exercises better than others; what do you think of alternating between explosive and slow/controlled movementswhen performing an exercise?
@@coolzus take the DUP pill my brothers, it's specifically made to accomplish what you're all describing
Jeff please bring back Q and A.
What are some of the questions you have?
@Thirsty Girl69 These are all great questions. I will be sure to cover some of them in my next Q and A on the channel, but I don't want to make you wait for an answer so I'll go over each for you here.
To answer your first question, your frame is bigger so you will need to put on more muscle for it to show than a smaller frame person. This is showcased by the history of Mr. Olympia. I believe that Arnold and one other guy are the only people to ever win that were above 6 foot.
Also, touching on training specifics, different hand and foot placements along with different variations of certain exercises will make your training more effective. For example, certain people find the sumo deadlift easier than the conventional due to limb length.
Your next two questions go hand in hand. Rowing on a row machine is a good form of cardio. Cardio like @Christopher Har V should be down after lifting and or on off days. You do not need to perform cardio on lifting days, but if you choose to it should be after lifting (except for cardio used in your warm-up),
As for your last question... I'm going to get pretty sciency so bear with me. From how you described yourself above, you seem to have a lot of type 1 fibers and not so many type 2. You can think of type 1 fibers as slow-twitch, type 2A as fast-twitch, and type 2x as intermediate-twitch fibers.
Now intermediate-twitch fibers do not actually exist, but this term will suffice in describing them for the moment. We cannot change the number of type 1, type 2A, and type 2x we have in our bodies... this is solely determined by genetics.
What we can do though, is take advantage of how our Type 2X fibers function. Type 2X fibers are very unique in that they are the only muscle fiber that really adapts and takes on different characteristics.
What this means in simpler terms is that if you train for explosive movements, plyometrics, and athleticism your type 2X (intermediate twitch muscle) fibers will behave more like type 2A (fast -twitch muscle) fibers. If you train more for endurance, long-term exertion, and slower contractions your type 2X fibers will become more like your type 1 (slow-twitch muscle fibers).
It is a long message, but if you are serious about finding answers these should be helpful to you!
@Thirsty Girl69 Glad I could help 💪

Jeff doesn't drink water. He licks it for tongue hypertrophy.
That's why he making so many of them.
10:31 I train metabollically and that's exactly what I tell myself! I always say "The set begins when the burn comes". Every rep prior to that is just uselessly leading up to it. It takes a lot of effort to push with the burn especially considering that higher rep counts increase your heart rate significantly. I really love that burn. Makes me think I'm truly training.
I miss that burn. I trained like that for 2 years but its hard to go up weights. Which one is better for mass in your openion buddy? :)
@@meti9230 I think you should use both. If it has to be one or the other, I would avoid higher reps as they aren't as efficient. You're doing a lot of useless work, and taking a lot of time to do it. And after a while of training, it becomes a nightmare to perform at an intensity that stimulates your muscles without feeling like you're doing a session of cardio for 80% of your set; and my full workout now typically last more than an hour. You're also not really gaining any strength because the weight is low and you activate mostly the slow twitch muscles; yes the fast twitch muscles do intervene when you start to fatigue, but at a very late point in the set you are no longer able to be explosive with the movement. I know we're talking about mass gain here, but strength and size go hand in hand. You get stronger > lift more > gain more.
@@detectivespoonan7603 I am still clueless after this video, and am just starting weights. I want strength, first and foremost, so how do you performs reps/sets to focus on strength? I do understand that mass will come, and I am cool with the increase. I just don't want to trade off size for strength.
@@TheStevenHarris For strength you should focus on compound movements (ones that require multiple muscles across multiple joints), doing low reps with high weight *that you can handle without relying too much on momentum,* and long rest periods between sets (90-120 secs). Look it up, I'm not an expert but those are the basics.
@@detectivespoonan7603 Thanks for the input. The only problem with looking it up, is there are as many opinions as there are hits in Google. You seemed to be talking from experience, and communicate it clearly. Appreciate the tip!!
