Is my dad right? (GYMCELS GTFIH)

[Deleted member 3299]

I got some weights for free, made some out of steel and made a bench press so now I am ready to lift

asked my dad what to do to get bigger muscles (he was pretty muscular when younger) and he said to lift in 8-15rep range and add more weight when u reach 15 reps

he also said dont train legs that much just play sports and bike ride and lift for legs 1 time a week

is this legit?

Don't doubt your dad bro

Don't doubt your dad bro

holy fuck bro you are right

thank you for calling me out on this

i am a bitch for doubting my dad

 

[ChaddeusPeuterschmit]

JUST LIFT THAT HEAVY SHIT NIGGA!

 

[Julian]

well depends on your training goal really but for just sinple training thats ok, I would go to 12 reps tho and then upper the weight as 12+ is more for endurance

 

[Deleted member 1089]

Yeah but I would go with even lower reps, 4-8 and train as heavy as possible.
But what your dad said works.

HOW DID YOU MAKE A BENCH PRESS

 

[Deleted member 3328]

Go for 5x5 on compound lifts and 3x8-12 on other lifts

HOW DID YOU MAKE A BENCH PRESS

[Catawampus]

Yeah bro, he only wants to help you any way he can, you only get one. I'm sure he was glad you came to him for advice, its rare in this day and age when everyone just googles everything.

when it comes to muscle growth you have to find out what fits you best but many people say 15 reps are too much so if i were you i would chose something between 8-12 reps
about legs, well its better to train them too

Not a myth.

Best workout for naturals
Monday-upper body(heavy 1-6 reps)
Tuesday-lower body(light 12-20 reps)
Wednesday-rest
Thursday-upper body(light 8-12 reps)
Friday-lower body(heavy 1-6 reps)
Saturday-rest
Sunday-rest

15-20 sets per bodypart each week
Abs can be train 3-4x a week on any day

as a natural you need to focus on getting stronger to get big by either doing more weight,reps,or sets each week the simple principle of progressive overload

[Swolepenisman]

hes wrong do 5 to 8 reps max take about 5 seconds to go down and 3 going up time under tension is really what helps build muscle
