Science-based gymcelling guide GTFIH if you still do 4x12

It’s extremely individual and you have to try all types of training until you find what works for you tbh. And even then it tends to need to be switched up periodically. Progressive overload is bullshit beyond maximising your CNS noob gains.

all these nerdy words like adduction and distal am I right?

It takes few seconds of google search to understand what they mean

Deload and plateu should be good things in your universe where PO doesn't matter tho??

Unc, just for lolz, tell me what was your bench press when you started training, and what is it now? Or whatever exercise you are doing for chest.
Did your bench increase or are you benching 135x12 for 5 years straight?

It does matter, it just only matters for CNS.

Started at 15kg, got to 5x60 on progressive overload then stalled a lot, got to 3x95 after doing a lot of work in 20-30 range. My genetics are shit.

The whole thing is: max out your CNS gains, then do hypertrophy routine to build more, then max out CNS again, etc etc.

I’m gonna stab a teenager for calling me unc though. Not the one who called me unc, just a random teenager when I go ER. Fuck you all.

No.

You can not achieve meaningful hypertrophy if you do not increase the weight. Hypertrophy = more myofibrils, more myofibrils = more units to contract. More units to contract = you have to use more weight or reps in order to get close to failure = necessary PO in order to stay close to failure. Your example proves it. You built more muscle mass and therefore you can lift more weight.

I don't judge the exact number bro, I'm just interested if you did or did not increase weight.
Good progress concidering genetics bro keep it up.
