    HYPOTROPHY????Heavy Compounds, Light accesories...What do You guys think??

    I am cutting, and honestly what im realizing alot of my training sessions are mainly heavy weight. I mean even bicep curls i got heavy like 6 reps. Idk just throwing that out there...


    anyway...Im thinking 5-8 on compound movements (bench,rows,presses,squats) Deads i usually go anywhere from 1-3......But i was wondering should i traing curls and pushdowns and you know accessories lifts. Shoulder flyes etccc etcc....should i do them in a 10-12 rep range...To create Hypotrophy?

    Honestly you see many many bodybuilders (if you dont beleive me check youtube or your local gym) that train mostly in the 10-15 rep range. For example jay cutler and arnold and others have videos on youtube and there hitting basically every movement and muscle with HIGH reps. The only thing i was wondering was if I should give it a go. Hypotrophy takes place in 8-12...And there going high...


    What do yall think???????????


    Im trying to be a bodybuilder and maybe not hitting hypotrohpy(muscle building) rep ranges???



    ....SORRY IF I SPELLED HYPOTROPHY WRONG??? (:

    its HYPERtrophy, hypotrophy would suggest a lesser than normal muscle size. but no worries

    if you are looking for size then i would increase reps, you said hypertrophy is in the 8-12 range but i would increase that up 15 even.
    compound 6 reps and deadlift 1-3 is more for strength, you should benefit by increasing reps to 10 or more

    that whole idea may cause i quick plateau effect. choose one discipline or the other.... power or bodybuilding. they are very different

    Bodybuilding forsure. All day everyday. But honestly keep compounds in a 5 rep range + is not a
    Bad idea. Keeps you strong. I usually do a 8,8,6,6 (i dont shoot for those #s) but thats usually how compounds go...training heavy builds
    Muscle
    Dont get me wrong.
    But for accessories
    Im going to go
    Higher rep wise

    I agree diet is huge, i just recently started a very strict diet...consisting of about 3 chicken breasts a day each with brown rice and broccoli. Breakfeast is egg whites and rolled all natural oatmeal. Casein before bed. and ill also have a mixed whey and casein shake later in the morning...also a whey shake post workout....i can post my diet on here if you like, or open a thread with my diet in it?

    one of your last comments before you were banned was your rant about only wanting help from vets, so you are going to lower yourself now for ordinary members?

    they are b.s. questions because anything that comes out of you is b.s. you had members including vets trying to help you with your diet and you didnt listen to them so that shows you arent really interested

    your banned, and for good reason so why dont you just take the hint and not hang round somewhere you clearly arent wanted like a bad smell

    best to post ur diet in the diet section and post ur training routine here.

    a lot of the nutrition gurus are over there and can help u.

    no offence what u told me what u eat all day isnt great. reason is cause we dont the know the cals and stats on u

    post it up over there give as much detail about u and the diet and ur goals and u will get assistance
