If you are doing 3 rep chest presses and 3 rep shoulder presses , I am just extremely hopeful that you are at the very least going 4/5/6/7/8 reps with that weight before upping the weight again . Or I am going to put a lot of money that in a years time you will barely look like you have changed.

yes i am i just seem to overshoot a-lot of sets i usually go for 5 reps on my pressing movements is that fine to do

[Joe]

I would do a second set that is lighter

alright would you say this for most so like shoulder press if i get 3 reps to do another set for like 5 reps? Also i train fb eod so isnt there a possibility i cant recover from this but i will give it a go mate thanks jordan

[Joe]

Then keep going

alright i do have a question though lets say i get like 1 set on incline bench for like 3 reps would you say to do another set of incline or do a set of pec fly or just leave it at 3 reps as ive been thinking maybe i do need to up my volume

[Joe]

Are you visibly growing ?

i haven’t actually compared myself to since i was training in 8-12 but i am progressing my lifts well especially in my chest which was lacking and my arms are slowly coming up ive been training in a low rep range for a couple months though and i feel as i have grew

[Joe]

Can I ask why you train in such low rep ranges?

As for knee sleeves TBJP now has some! This will provide some warmth to the knees
I recommend looking into making sure execution of movements is nailed, and making sure you are doing your prehab and stretching work

i train in such low rep ranges as i feel this is what works for me and i progress quickly with this im just trying to get as strong as i can right now and i feel that the size with come with it ive had a look at tbjp and the only ones with my size are double ply i got my brother to measure my knee and idk if ive done it right because i dont have like massive knees and im an xl but are double ply fine?

[Joe]

Don’t like wraps personally. But single ply sleeves by tbjp are perfect

yeah ive just had a look and i dont know if im measuring wrong but im xl and they dont havr them in stock sadly is double ply just the same?

[Joe]

The main issue i see with the younger group now is they seem to forget that all training of any kind will build you more muscle than you ever thought possible

Bro split = 50 pounds of muscle , all training = 50 pounds muscle

So the realism is if you dieted to lean lean , your mid / low 70kg , you could get bigger doing press ups and chins ups in the park

So when you ask these questions , and we all reply , “it literally doesn’t matter” ,
You need to really try to take that in . The young generation now can’t listen to answers very well that don’t agree with the content they are consuming from people with no muscle .

Pick a split , progress your lifts . If you can’t pick , literally flip a coin

Done

I get this but you said about how frequency is important so i was asking a question about it as all i want to do is build as much muscle possible in the quickest way

[Joe]

Hi Joe,

It’s not uncommon for movements later in the session to be a bit more of a grind, but something has to be first, and something has to be last.

Instead of looking for a full rep, have you tried microloading?

Get some 0.5kg plates, one either side is an increment of 1kg, which over the three weeks is 3kg. It’s all progress.

yeah ill try it mate i just thought because if im stuck at 5 reps i just didnt know what to do because i know theres fixing form tempo etc which i did or either beating the reps from last time or upping the weight i would of tried upping it but obviously i would of lost a rep with 2.5 so ill give that a go mate thanks rich

[Joe]

Joe , how old are you and what do you weigh ?

18 and im around 88kg -90kg i haven’t weighed myself in a while im not very lean atm though but im not like fat

[Joe]

Flip a coin . It makes zero diff . Pick one , do it for a year , then do the other

I thought frequency was important though and if im losing frequency going from eod to 2x a week?

[Joe]

Before you switch splits, how long has that been the case for? How long since you had a deload? How long have you been on this set of movements?

i have not deloaded in a while and i have stayed on this set of movements for 2-3 months from when i added 1 other set

[Joe]

i mean for like a month or so i think im gonna stay on fb eod though for a while as i feel like if i can stay on it i should and ill see how fb A goes tomorrow

[Joe]

I agree with Joe

Full body is all cool if your new to training, I find we can quickly outgrow it

Sounds like it’s upper lower or PPL time for you

idk how to program upper lower though[/quote]
Hi Joe,

It sounds like a lazy response, but I highly recommend you go and watch the videos in the educational section.

You will get an insight into how the sessions should be set up rather than someone just giving you a template

A small investment of time will massively inform your understanding when you’re then putting a session together and discussing the set up on here.[/quote]

okay thank you rich i also agree i think i replied straight before going to sleep not gonna lie😂 but ill have a look mate thanks hopefully it goes well. I think ill do fb today though as i dont wanna not know what im doing when im at the gym so ill do my fb b today and switch it so i have a day to sort it all out thanks again everyone

Sounds like you’re not enjoying it man and 3 hours is really long for anyone. Could understand it taking jp that long cus of what he lifts but most people shouldn’t be taking that long. Time for a change and get back to enjoying it. Switch to upper lower.

i think ill give it a week though if im still not enjoying ill switch
