Omar I'm fat now and don't even work out anymore (or diet) but I still am subscribed to your channel and always will be. You won me over years ago with your personality and you're hilarious. And I still find this stuff interesting so I'll know what to do when I finally decide to get back in shape again, someday… lol *cries*. but naw man keep it up, your personality sets you apart from everyone else. One day you'll be at the 1 million subscriber mark, just wait on it!

Can anyone point me towards Research that explains what happens in your body/muscles and your energy systems during a set and during and shortly after the set?

Greater training density, same work done in less time.

Question: How can you apply this to straight sets?

for example, if you want to do 4×10 bench with the same weight.

If you don't go easier on the first set, leaving more reps in reserve, you'll hit failure too soon?

How do I program for RIR / RPE with a straight set and avoid failure?

put moderate weight on you can lift and do it till you fail,especially on the machines if you don't have a spotter,dont worry about fucking reps,they're just for mental aspect of the game,you're building muscle with tension,if you can do 50 push ups with ease,thats not going to build muscle,51+ and so on will,same with weights.

5 sets of 20 reps for sarcoplasmic growth. 3 rep max for mylofibular growth. Simple.

In that study they did 3-5 sets of 10 with 10RM with 1 min rest periods? That's should be impossible. I doubt I could do that even with 15RM.

Good video. Along the same lines is the importance of rest periods. I don't understand people who don't time their rest periods. A great way to increase the intensity of your workout is to simply reduce rest time. Do 4 sets of the classic 8-12 reps with a 2 minute break. After doing the same exercise a few times over 3-4 weeks, simply reduce your rest period to 90s. It completely changes the whole workout. Way more intense. Way more gains!

I just read a T-nation article that said high reps and medium weight for Squats and low reps – heavy weights for bench press are now considered the better way to build upper body strength. Not sure if that's useful for us powerlifters though?!

I'd love to see a video breaking down volume and rep-ranges for different experienced groups of lifters. always been curious of the bread an butter of what is actually "enough" reps/volume per muscle group.

I think drop sets are the best for hypertrophy. I use to bench 275 X 10 total of 2,750lbs per set. And then I started doing 210X14 for 2 sets then, 190X14, 160X14 drop sets and I went from 46 inch chest to 48 inch chest in just 3-4 months. And I have been lifting 8+ years. Straight sets are better for strength though. I've even been seeing great results doing as high as 30 reps per set on some exercises. I also use to squat 300 for 12 reps just straight sets and then wanted to know what would happen if I started doing 3 sets of 100 bodyweight jumping squats.. and sure enough I gained an inch on my legs and I feel much more explosive.

Good point being addressed here (haven’t watched the video yet) just would like to contribute my two cents here. In my experience working on sets of five reps (one single breath for each easy set , more breaths and huffs and puffs on the heavy stuff) is ideal for building strength and athletic performance on a person in his late twenties . That is squatting three times a week (m,l,and h days) benching and pressing once and twice, DL once and Power cleaning , Snatching , and clean and jerking , the good stuff. Spread the idea tha strength training is approachable to all demographics! Peace!

It's not the repetition that builds muscles dude… you can do repetitions all day long and if you're not working a muscle you will get nothing… everybody does bench presses and gets know muscles!

if you don't allow enough recovery time between the sets you will reach failure sooner!

Reply
Dan Stafford September 25, 2020 - 4:22 am

Training to failure on your reps is not even necessary… but not enough tension time is!
