9 is a holy number after all
three is the number of the divine all around the globe, be it the holy trinity, or the number pi, used for the approximation of the circle, representing the earth and cosmos in its totallity (an infinte irregular number, going beyond what we can visualize).
9 is 3 squared = 32 = 3*3 = 3+3+3
Odin hung 9 days and nights off the branches of the world tree to gain wisdom and I will do 9 reps to gain ... gains
A lot of pinup artists have a similar style, and half of them were just digitally painting over reference photos anyways. That’s why AI is quite good at doing that 3/4ths view of only the head and torso, but struggles with most other poses/angles.
Someone posted links to his twitter here once, he’s actually in great shape. Dude does ten mile runs at an 8 minute pace like an army ranger. He’s also rich somehow.
It's not about the exact rep number, it's about going to failure within 6 to 20 reps (works up to 30 but past 20 is suboptimal) for Hypertrophy.
To optimize for strength gains, go to failure between 1 to 5 reps, but it's highly advised to stay in he 3 to 5 rep range, as 1 to 3 rep range is olympic lift and can easily lead to injury for those who are not experinced enough to know how to do properly.
I honestly don't care that much about the exact number of reps, as long as I go close to failure I should be okay.
the actual peak is around 10, didnt you read that researchpaper my nigg?
Yeah but my body says something else
dis homie doin cardio
The peak is at 9 reps. 8-10 reps is the peak hypertrophy range. 11-15 reps is equivalent to 1-5 reps.
wtf? And 7 reps does nothing?
>he didn't know it
NGMI, I'm sorry
Nobody does 6 or 7. That would be even more moronic than doing 5. Fill in the missing data, but you'd be a fool to actually do 7
I do 6 or 7 all the time
Its actually worse than if you had stayed home and skipped the gym
all lifters are crypto-jews
god demands them to rest on the seventh rep
They had no data points for 6 or 7, and the auto-generated graph is now a meme.

I fricking love this image (having seen the original)
for me it's increasing load and decreasing reps so I get 12 10 and 8 to make sure every exercise isn't stolen by the hypertrophy israelite
>hypertrophy!!!!!!!
>counting reps
wait you guys don't seriously do this, do you?
i always do 100 no matter what
if i cant i take a smaller weight and do 100
Isn't this what Piana did back in the day for pre-bedtime sets or some shit?
Wait... That's the coomermensch.
It depends on your body and the contractions. Just go by feel. You know when you are working hard enough.
Where did the AI art style come (xdd) from? It's not like Stable Diffusion invented it out of nowhere, there has to be some artist that used it first
it's literally a slight combination of all digital art, with emphasis on "realistic" digital art, it's its own unique style at this point

wow der coomer really changed his life around. glad hes making it

Drop sets are the real thing.
It gives a better pump for sure, but that's not necessarily long-term growth.
>still can’t do hands after one year
Omg so this is the power of ai???
to be fair, most humans can't draw good hands after years of practice and we are literally designed to notice when they look off
Damn
Der Coomer looks like THAT?
The AI even gave him stitches on his right bicep, probably from a jerking off related injury.
All the matters is not finishing at 7 reps
ONE COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Provided similar number of sets taken similar proximity to failure, no. Same gains, different fatigue, pump, and joint stress maybe.
Post body
so 1x15, 1x8-12 ?
>no more than one set
>to failure
As simple as
13-14 reps gives you zero gains.
