    A big "problem" around here is that most of the people on here with 20+ years training experience (and I'm not grouping you in this basket, just an observation) don't hold the same view as the first part of this sentence. They're not open to new methods or ideas and certainly not any scientific...

    You can't get stronger or more muscular whilst dropping body mass?

    Anybody doing any home projects?

    That's good to know, thanks Mick! He's gone overseas for 4 weeks from today so I might sneak around there and spruce it up when I get some spare time, give him a bit of a surprise

    You're still both misunderstanding what I'm saying. Of course you will add weight at some point and drop the reps back down to work back up. All I'm saying is that adding weight isn't the only method of measuring progress.

    Then the next week you can do 15 reps instead of 12 or 13...So you've gotten stronger without adding weight to the bar? Like I said before? Is that not progression?

    Does it matter? If it's 1rm and you get 2 or 3 reps at the same weight a week later or 10 reps and now you can do 12 or 13...

    That's more or less what I'm saying. Not the extreme of "you don't need to add weight to the bar" but that it isn't as big a factor as a lot of people seem to make out (for those seeking strictly hypertrophy). If you're not training for strength, you don't need to try and lift more than what...

    Do I really need to simplify it and say it's the same dude? So if you do 2 more reps at the same weight, everything else being constant, have you not made progress?

    Another way to look at it... Who's stronger or going to get better results in terms of size? Dude A - lifts heavier, does 10 reps in 20 seconds, has 3 minutes break between sets Dude B - lifts 10-15kg less than Dude A, does 10 reps in 45 seconds and has 1 minute​ between sets

    Ok, say a bodybuilder wants to add half an inch to their chest. Does this strictly mean the only way to achieve that is by adding more weight to the bar? No way...

    1rm or 15 reps, the weight matters little compared to the quality of reps, TUT, mind muscle connection, etc etc. I'm not saying to make it easy, but the weight on the bar is one of the smaller factors. You can be the strongest guy in the gym and not be the biggest, just like you can be the...

    Adding weight is only a measure of progress if you're training for strength. The weight on the bar is pretty irrelevant to a bodybuilder. You can induce hypertrophy without adding a heap more weight on the bar.

    Anybody doing any home projects?

    I'll try and remember to snap one next time I'm round there...far from mint condition, it lives out in the elements most of the time these days but still cooks just as well as the day he got it. It would probably clean up ok given the Weber coating is very durable and little bits and pieces can...

    Anybody doing any home projects?

    Came up a treat Mick. My old man's would be from the late 80's, early 90's at a guess, still has the wooden handles. They need replacing (he's been saying he wants to do it for ages so I might source some for him) but the rest is still going as strong as ever.

    Samson Barbells Seated or Standing Calf Raise.

    That's the gastrocnemius. Standing calf raises. Lots of volume and variants. Different weights, rep ranges, foot position etc. Pause and squeeze at the top for 3-5 seconds
