you don't even think about how much your lifting, do you blindfold yourself and just pick up two dumbells from the rack? doesn't matter what weight as long as you demolish them?
Still not sure why shorter breaks will lead to more muscle hypertrophy. Conditioning yes, hypertrophy, dunno.
why is every "bodybuilder" so scared to be strong?
Your not explaining anything to me, your just saying shit that I wasn't even talking about.
I agree that there are other ways to build strength than low rep training, I never said otherwise. Low rep training can and does work for gaining muscle for many people but its not the only way and i never said it was. To say weight on the bar or strength doesn't matter is just bullshit. Which ever method you use you need to get steonger. If you are lifting the same weight the same way as you are now in 2 year time good luck growing any muscle unless you just keep upping the gear you smash into your arse.
what do i mean "ur not blindfolded"? of course im not blindfolded champ..
I still haven't seen convicing evidence about shorter rest = more muscle hypertrophy, post the studies then.
I'm sure this has been posted here before but the guy above was an decent powerlifter who went on a cut there is an article about it on Tnation.
I'm not saying its the only way to train, but one way or another you have to be getting stronger to get bigger whether thats more reps at a lower weight or more weight at the same rep range, if your not progressing upwards somehow your not getting bigger simple.
Alot of what he said in the second article about lifting for longevity has plenty of merit. Any training method works but heavy compound has to be the most efficent way to train.
Pumpin I'm not disagreeing with what this guy says rather saying there is many ways to get swole
I was on power and bulk years ago the blokes on there that dude was pumped with chemicals
the link to the studies, not what Scott Abel says.

I just read a couple of scott abel things online don't 100% agree with what he is touting but found this line pretty funny, kinda reminds of some of the goings on here.
I've had people on my forums who go by the tag "Big Guns 21" or something ridiculous like that. Then, I'm doing an appearance and this guy comes and introduces himself. "I'm on your forums, I'm Big Guns 21," and the guy looks like he's never been in a gym in his life!
But he's doling out advice on 5 or 6 different forums on the net. It's the "blind leading the blind" and "bullshit baffles brains" technique. To these guys I say, shut up and show me.
I dont think he would make up studies, look mate im not gonna argue with anyone anymore, the info is there to read.
Ive tried training for str for 2 years-i did get stronger quick aka my deadlift went from 100 to 160 in 1 year but i still didnt look that much better in pysique enhancement, which is why i invested my money into a coach, which is scott abel. If ur still on this forum in 2 years time, i will show you my progress. Most likely im gonna look like most of his other clients, which all have fuckin impressive pyhsiques.I will actually reach my goals,as appossed to barely progressing at all like the last 2 years for following certain methods like *training for str*- that have led me to getting injured... like the begginning of the year i fucked my lower back dealifting cause i was training in the 3-5 rep range as heavy as i could.
Yep. I think those photos must be close to 10 years old now. I don't think it was ever hidden he was on something but still a very impressive physique built on low reps and being strong. I can't remember exactly but was lifting some big numbers.
lol true, Im not giving out advice , im referring people to advice from a professional.
Don't sweat it bro I didn't mean you. Your out there lifting, doing it your way some peeps here who shall remain nameless are serving up advice and I doubt they've ever been in a gym.
Don't take this the wrong way but it's a bit much to say strength training didn't work for you because you deadlifted 160 and weren't that big. 160 is still well within biginner level. Get that deadlift over 250 and then see what it's done for you. If its done nothing then say low reps might not work that well for you. I would bet Sticky gets his beginner males to a 160 dead in a few months.
To say low rep strength training didn't work for an individual I would think they would have to actually get strong first to be able to determine that.
