I'll let people who are much more knowledgeable than I in the field of muscular hypertrophy discuss such fine points as to whether there is or there isn't a level of muscle hypertrophy due to ultra low rep training. My point is this: Olympic weightlifters belong to a sport that does not feature muscle hypertrophy on any of its training radars. What it features and focuses its attention on is the improvement of the lifter's neuromuscular efficiency above and beyond any other factor. It's this NME that would allow the weightlifter to activate and recruit the maximum amount of muscle fibers as possible, in the shortest amount of time possible.no way you get hypertrophy from 1-3 reps. what you do get is hitting different muscle fibers.
and 1-3 is a specific fiber

I've previously made mention of the strength and power that a chimpanzee monkey has, and the reason behind such strength from an animal that has never visited a gym once or lifted any barbell whilst living in some zoo. The "secret" to this animal's strength lies in his ability to activate and recruit all his muscles at once at any given moment in time. We humans are a finely tuned machine, where we can manage to perform a super delicate task as the threading of a needle, and we can also lift huge weights when we train for it. The chimp lacks this fine tuning, hence his all or nothing muscular recruitment is what separates his strength and power from ours.
and how exactly do you separate powerlifting to olympic weighlifting???
you do reaslise they are one and the same, except the lifts are different, its exactly the same goal. right?!
When you sober up read that post again and you will see how retarded it is.
You're comparing a heavyweight bodybuilder with a middleweight weightlifer.
Compare people in the same class.
0ni, you had your shit together, don't blow it now
I perfectly understand what the word volume means. And rather than ask you what your understanding of it is, I'll let your words explain it here...Volume is what matters, not the number of reps you do per set.
And again here...I've been doing nothing but low rep, heavy high volume training for almost 5 years now.
I also understand what the word "high" means when it's relating to the parameters of reps, sets, volume, and intensity. So just to see if we're on the same page here, I put it to you that you're doing about 12x2 on legs, correct? That's heavy (90% of your 1RM), and "high" as in high volume, tells me that your total reps are in the vicinity of 25..., correct?My legs are growing currently doing sets of 2. The volume is high
Whattabout the cyclists...?
Whattabout the cyclists...?
No, fuck it. I'm going all out here
These are drug tested athletes with ridiculous leg development and are being compared against guys who vastly outweigh them with a free for all drug stack
Volume is what matters, not the number of reps you do per set. There is no "bodybuilder" style of training. There have been successful bodybuilders with every training style. The notion that you need to do more than 5 reps per set to grow is retarded in the true sense of the word (undeveloped)
Oni, just how good were you at cycling?. could you send me a link to your results? I have never found anything.
