    Lift heavy loads 80% -85% 1RM Fail 6-8 Reps

    Those in love with those infinite rep metabolic workouts might not like what I'm going to say. But working out in the gym with 6-8 Reps of 80-85% 1RM with longer rests between sets is better for building muscle size.

    There are many effective ways to train. Wich is best, who knows. Who cares. Just do what works for you and what you enjoy . If your making gains its good.

    Have you heard of Scott Stevenson's Fortitude Training?It's an approach that seems to blend full-body, strength, and high-rep


    This is how fortitude works
    bluntly !

    Fortitude is a crazy mix of Full-Body, strength and metabolic training.
    You train 4x a week

    You do two days of carrying heavy loads

    Example
    Load upper body

    6-12 reps
    1min30s rest

    And do pump reps "pump sets for light weight legs"

    25-30 reps
    1 min rest.

    The other day of loading

    You do the opposite you load up your legs and do pump pump sets for your upper body.
    25-30 reps

    And there are two days of Muscle Rounds that are nothing more than Clusters-Sets reps divided into sets

    When you do cluster sets for the upper body

    6x 4/4/4/4/4/4
    with just a Rest-Pause 10s
    You put on bomb pump sets exercises for the lower body

    The other day of Muscle Round is opposite

    muscle rounds for legs

    You do leg clusters

    6x4/4/4/4/4/4

    10 s rest -pause

    And put pump pump sets exercises for the upper body



    Observation is a training approach worth trying!

    I apologize to you in front of everyone on this forum if a while ago I was stupid with you. I've always liked this forum and met good guys around here! I can look sissy when I ask you sorry, but life is too short to fight with other people. I wish you and everyone on this forum the best.

    After you've been lifting 20-30 years, you realize that there are multiple ways to achieve the same or similar results. I thought I had the "formula" down many times over the years, but it just comes down to resistance. Anything you have to push or pull against that requires effort will result in hypertrophy, given adequate nutrition and rest... and gear (if you're at the genetic limit).

    hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahah dont make me laugh bro hahahaha. No. Pump training, mid volume training is going to build the most muscle. Im talking two MAYBE three movements per muscle group per session. Train everything twice a week. Train 6 days, 8-12 reps with 2-3 reps in reserve. This builds muscle, its science. What you are saying builds strength and also injures you. so total weekly set per muscle group will be 4-6 depending on your effort. Focus on the negative that actually builds more muscle then the positive part of the movement. Trust me this is how its done.

    for example: all these will be 3-4 sets
    Monday is chest/bis
    incline dumbbell press, 8-12 reps 2-3 RIR moderate weight with focus on the negative part of the rep explode on the positive.
    cable pec flys, 8-12 reps with 2-3 RIR same as movement one.
    decline hammer strength press, 8-12 reps 2-3 RIR same as first two movements negative is really important to control that.
    Bis
    dumbell curls 8-12, you can go higher to 15 if you want. 2-3 RIR focus on negative
    single arm preacher with a dumbbell or machine, 8-12 2-3 RIR focus on negative explode on positive.
    you could do another movement for bis but they should be toast at this point same with pecs if you're training properly, perfect form and focusing on the negative and exploding on the positive with max stretch and max contraction you will be fucking toast after this. Also the negative part of the movement and max stretch is more important than the squeeze. but remember you have to Train everything twice a week. So you can do it how ever you want you can do upper chest first workout and mid/lower part the second session that week. This is how its done.
