What do you gymcels think about the new "trend"

[Clqs]

Upper/Lower and full body splits and doing 1-3 sets per muscle per workout

Personally I'll try it out cuz I'm a lazy fuck

Bump

 

[aryan mogger]

idk cuz i dont go to the gym but here take a bump

 

[ectomorpher]

idk cuz i dont go to the gym but here take a bump

why not, I though everyone here goes to the gym

 

[aryan mogger]

why not, I though everyone here goes to the gym

because theres no gym for my genetics
i need surgery, just like most of people here

Yes, I think so too but isn't it better to have a nice body with a nice face?

How is that new?

I prefer it. By definition full body isn't a split though. Body building is gay anyway. Just strength train and you will look like you workout which is all women care about.

Is this the most optimal way tho?

I do 5 sets of 2 things a day.

used to do 10 sets of 1 thing but age caught up.

U started this after building a good amount and just wanting to maintain i assume?

nope I literally build my body doing 10 sets of 1 thing and only switched recently to 2x5.

 

[DavidLard]

Most optimal is gonna be PPL with as many sets as you can recover from, but almost any approach will still stimulate muscle, which is why I do full body now. I’ve pretty much hit my genetic limit for muscle mass so I just do a little exercise to maintain.

Thats the route jews want you to go
U should hop on instantly after hitting ur genetic limit

 

[Always Stay You]

They're just autistic kids, changing split has minimal influence on results over the long run. Just train hard, eat food, and you will grow. You can speed up results for certain muscle groups by prioritising them - increasing their volume at the cost of other muscles, training them first etc.

Its more about the sets than it is about the split

I don't see how 6-10 sets per muscle per week is enough but I'll still try it

i did hop on lmao, but i had to come off bc of my parents, but that’s fine, im fine w my muscle mass rn bc it’s in the range that girls rated most attractive.

The new trend is stretch mediated hypertrophy and going out of your way and do weird things to create more range of motion which is extremely gay and by no means how to build muscle.


Also, to lift like Dr Kike you gotta lower the weight to like 40% of your 1RM for every exercise which is a fucking joke.

 

[RealNinja]

It’s retarded. I wrote a research paper for English about weekly volume for hypertrophy, read through a ton of studies and papers/articles. Moderate to high volume training typically produces more muscle growth. It’s the opposite for strength, if you’re a powerlifter then you do low volume and very heavy weight.

My anecdotal personal experience also backs this up. You get out of the gym what you put into it. Whenever I’ve had a muscle group I wanted to bring up, I trained it more and trained it harder and it grew accordingly. If you want bigger biceps just fucking curl more and curl harder. Muh recovery bro. Stop being a pussy. If you’re eating and sleeping right you can recover fine from 15+ sets for a muscle group in a week. Especially if you’re a beginner. I’m 17 with a year and a half of training experience. I’ve been training with relatively high volume (15-25 weekly sets) since I started working out and I’m bigger and stronger than many older guys in my college gym.

That being said everyone is different. Always listen to your body. Ramp up your volume over a few weeks. If your soreness starts carrying over to the next workout, if you start getting aches and pains, etc, then dial it back a bit and stay there.

I agree with you on Dr Mike but I found many studies when writing my research paper to support the idea that a tempo with a slow eccentric is better for muscle gain.

It’s not like you’re not going to gain muscle if you don’t use a slow eccentric/deep stretch. But it’s worth including. You don’t have to take it to the extreme like doing 1pl8 RDLs while standing on a 3 foot block. But I do control the weight and get a stretch especially when hitting chest, lats, tricep long head, and legs

 

[AverageCurryEnjoyer]

basically mentzers philosophy

 

[twojei]

Upper/Lower and full body splits and doing 1-3 sets per muscle per workout

Personally I'll try it out cuz I'm a lazy fuck

What about Myo reps? My upper body workout sessions are 1 hour max. It is highly intensive though

 

[itzyaboyJJ]

Anything is better than PPL to be real.

I’m trying this but with 3 upper days next week no legs before this I only trained chest once a week as I believed they were the slowest recovering muscle group and that was all they needed however it seemed chest is one of my best muscle groups atm so I’ll try bump it up 2x a week instead of 3x and see how it goes

but your biceps will lag!

 

[Orc]

but your biceps will lag!

almost every upper body movement involves your arms.

my arms are like 18 inch now and the only isolation I do is barbell curls twice a week.

[DarkTriadBeliever]

I don't do any of this, full body calisthenics + weights and cardio everyday

 

[Tonymontana]

Building muscle is ridiculously simple.

Get stronger, and train close to failure. Upper/lower, and full body splits are just more efficient ways of accomplishing that.

Volume (# of sets) is overrated, and close to meaningless. Hit the muscle with 1-2 intense, heavy sets then get out so you can recover, and give it another effective stimulus 2-3 days later with more weight/reps.

Going from 1-2 sets to 3-8 sets in a workout is not going to speed up the rate you grow muscle. Your genetics and training experience determine that. All you're doing is wasting more time, and increasing fatigue/recovery time which can even slow down your progress.

 

[looksmaxxed]

minimal workout routines are generally meant for highly anabolic dosages.

for natural or androgen enhanced people, you want 70-80% exertion on a near daily basis. most people don't grow because they can't or unable to work out everyday.

 

[cytoplasm]

Its all about intensity
