heavy vs reps on the shit???

[theboneman]

does anyone cycle the low reps,?? go heavier each week and bring the reps down the same way? or do it all in same work out,, does it reall matter on the sauce

 

[theboneman]

is that it ?? come on i need 2 more cents, what else is on the schedule

 

[JMB1]

Variety, shock the muscle. Compound movements the 8-12 rep range is
best for building size IMO. All of
the other variables (food, rest, gear) have to be right though or its time wasted.

 

[SFGiants]

You need both like us Powerlifters.

You want real heavy to get strong but also reps from 8 to 12 to build size for more potential strength.

Your best bodybuilder come from a powerlifting back ground and is why they are so thick.

 

[theboneman]

i agree 100%, you can ALWAYS tell the guys with power lifting backgrounds, the density ! you dont get that way without that power experiance, yea theres a couple that thick without the power background, but there doing it in there program now or they wouldnt have that maturity.. ive been mixing it up, im working up to heavy poundages, then get in workin sets,,then im burnin it up.. so many people think its easy on the j...e, but it aint, im working at a very different intensity leval, and the shit actually has me lifting weight more than the muscle is use to handling. im tearin it up, but thats just their lack of knowledge and common sense, whataya think ?????????

 

[theboneman]

hell yea, you can always see the dramatic differance in the muscle with the power lifting background,like night and day,the density is remarkabe.. ive been working right up to heavy weight,then getin in some workin sets,then burning it up!!!

I incorporate PL movements in my workouts occasionally. It's also a good gauge
for where my strength is at.

 

[theboneman]

pl, ?? polymetrics???? can you elaborate???

duhhhh, i got ya bro, power liftin, haha sorry bout that i got lost in code.. lol i went back and read it and i was like duhh, the topic, haha

 

[theboneman]

we;ve covered the reps,, what about the eats, lets go start it up bro,how many calories on the shit????????????

 

[DADAWG]

heavy weight adds thickness that reps cannot match

 

[theboneman]

hey do you go to max every chest w/o or max out every so often

 

[theboneman]

hey do you go to max every chest w/o or max out every so often

and what about the eats, im having trouble consuming all my calories, yea i im slammin shakes too, but i cant seem to plow serious food, anything besides E-Q, that;ll build appetite, ???????

 

[Mudge]

hey do you go to max every chest w/o or max out every so often

Search around for Westside Barbell techniques, maxing out every workout is a no win situation.

 

[theboneman]

oh i do agree w/you, i dont go under 3 reps and after the 3 i drop and get the workin set in, after the workin sets, i throw some reps,, but all an all i mix it up pretty good..

 

[JMB1]

"do you go to max every chest w/o or max out every so often"

No, I don't find it necessary to max on
chest. I don't like to put that much strain
on my front delts. I am a BB, not a powerlifter.
The heaviest I go is
4-6 rep range.. with perfect form.
I usually work in the 8-12 rep range
for about 6 exercises. Plenty for me.

EQ will work for stimulating the appetite. It makes your body produce more red blood cells.
As for your diet, what and how much are you eating? Need specific info to give a
informed answer.

and what about the eats, im having trouble consuming all my calories, yea i im slammin shakes too, but i cant seem to plow serious food, anything besides E-Q, that;ll build appetite, ???????
