Row heavy, row often, row more than you press. A yoked back is insurance for your bench.
Time-set dumbbell presses are a great trick. Don’t count reps—fight the clock. Forty-five seconds matches the storm of the test. But without horsepower, it’s just sweat.
@StrengthDebates@StrengthDebates is the order of exercice matter for hypertrophy for you? E.g. doing 10x3 weighted pull ups but before that doing 100 pull ups bodyweight to be « in the zone », always take me ages for mind muscle connection
@StrengthDebates I notice I am doing better with 1 push per week, and 2 back session and 1 leg day, with shit load of volume each time (I am doing mostly weighted pull ups/dips and dumbbell press shoulder) vs « classic » 3 upper session per week and 1 leg day, thanks for reinforcing my thinking !
Muscle growth stimulus is fairly similar across 5-30 reps if the set is near failure. But for MAXIMIZING muscle gains, go holistic! Mix up rep ranges, tempos, free weights, machines, contraction types, etc. It's the whole package to maximize muscularity.
Circuit training with smaller exercises after a couple of main barbell lifts is one of the best ways to train your average personal training client. Clients don’t usually wanna do 90 minutes of nothing but heavy grinding 3-5 rep sets. At least not for very long.

Low Rep Hypertrophy Sets
This one is for every single person who has asked me…
“HOW MUCH REST BETWEEN SETS?”
Or my favorite, “IT TAKES TOO LONG”
Here is the answer, with plenty of logic
