Lifting heavy is a meme

[TeraCope54]

Imagine buying into the meme that lifting heavy builds more muscle. Even if it's true, it's marginal and not worth the fucked up joints and injuries like this. Just lift heavy broo

Is he dead?

 

[Pythagoras]

First time I benched 2 plates I got euphoric for 2 hours straight, pure joy. the thing about lifting heavy is instant gratification that lifting lightly can't provide. It's just too addicting. but now I only lift heavy on pull ups and shit (attach weight) because pushing exercises and heavy lifting will pretty much always lead to problems.

Lifting heavy sets you new goals therefore keeps you motivated and the more motivated you are, the more you will be going to the gym

With the right technique, you won't get injured.

In the case of bench - shoulder extension, scapular retraction, tucked elbows and a small arch will protect your shoulders in the long run.

It’s pretty much impossible to keep the perfect technique in the last 2-3 reps of a 8-10 reps set

Depends if you go to failure or not. Even then, as long as you don't lose arch and lat tightness you won't fuck up your shoulders in the long run.

I rarely train 8-10 reps to failure because I am a powerlifting-cel.

If you're not powerlifting or competing in a strength sport, it's not necessary to do barbell bench for purely hypertrophy purposes. Can get by with just using dumbbells, although it's probably not ideal because you can progressive overload harder with barbell (push 10-20% more total weight) vs dumbbell.

I know I was kidding

 

[Deleted member 8904]

I usually do reps of 8-10 for strength/volume gains

yep. the point is to LOOK like u lift a lot. Training for hypertrophy is not the same as training for strength or heavy

Lifting Literally Bodyweight Makes Guys Jacked:

 

[Ethniframementalcel]

gotta lift big if you want to get big and bodymog these fucking normie faggots. even HTNs and up go to the gym these days so you need to match them in the arms race

 

[TyroneIncoming]

It's all relative.

Get to benching 3 plattes, squatting 4 plates, deadlifting 5 plates then switch to hypertrophy.
