If time us not an issue, is it worth it to do lower weight sets once you hit/near failure with a given weight?

      Bigger muscle

        Most muscles need more volume to grow. So yes, doing more can be beneficial to you. If it's too much stress, too much acid in your muscles, you will be hindering muscle growth though. So you gotta feel it out. Test/experiment, and adjust based on what happens.

    It doesn't matter dude. Just go to failure on every set and don't overtrain too much.

    5-10 sets with 8-16 reps to failure per muscle group is good, if you're going for sacroplasmic hypertrophy. With 10 getting to overtraining and 5 being just under training. I usually like doing 8 sets per muscle group.

      Just to expand. If you're a beginner and you're doing PPL, and your goal is just building muscle mass as fast as possible. Here's your push day:

      3x8-16 Bench Press, Incline, or Flat.
      3x8-16 OHP
      3x8-16 Chest Flys, or Pec-Dec.
      3x8-16 Tricep Pushdowns, Dips, or Extension.
      5x8-16 Lateral Raises, Dumbell, or Machine.

      Go to failure on every set, with 3 second negatives and 90 second rests. Each set you should be failing between 8-16 reps. There you go. Push day is done. I gained 20 pounds in 6 months doing this when I started lifting.

        Even with the highest growth hormone and testosterone levels a human can have, they can't add 20 pounds of muscle in 6 months. The best you can hope for, is 10 pounds a year.

          Nice NGMI bait. If you're a beginner and you work all muscle groups for hypertrophy. 20 is possible. I did it in high-school lifting 2 hours a day, on a bulk.

            Guaranteed half of it was fat or water. You got the lab results for you inhumanly possible transformation.

          >I couldn't do it so nobody else can

          Get over yourself dude. I was already eating healthy, but on the thin side. I probably added about 500 - 600 more calories to my diet and I added like 50g more protein.

          I actually didn't even notice until another big motherfricker in the gym complimented me on my gains. He asked how much I weighed and when I said 160, he said bullshit, you're like 180. We then went over and I weighed myself. I was 180 in a 6 month span and it wasn't fat, it was muscle. And no, I didn't use TRT, or roids. The big guy said a lot of beginners gain weight fast like that.

          Get a better program.

          Why does every single push day look exactly like this?

          Because it works.

            Well yeah but anything works to some extent. Just seems like a really short session to me (main issue with strict PPL IMO, there's barely anything to do on push day because you just need to hit pecs triceps and front/side delts. Much prefer non-strict, I've seen some people throw upper traps/neck/calves/abs/forearms onto push which makes way more sense since there's a ton of free space there)

              You can do whatever you want brother.

              Your scientific method, involved you gathering results with a standard scale. That measures all mass, not change in adipose tissue, water, and in your case being a young boy, change in bone density.

              >young boy
              Lol

              [...]
              I'm thinking that other anon is being bit autistic about semantics but I believe you gained 20 lbs fairly leanly. But fact is that 20 lbs consists of actual muscle tissue, bone density/mass, glycogen inside muscle (now more of it due to increased muscle mass), water weight inside muscle (due to glycogen) and some fat which may have been stored favorably.

              so you see you can gain 20 lbs and look good doing it but you shouldn't delude yourself thinking it is +20 lbs of pure muscle mass.

              You're right. But, when he says 20lbs is impossible even in a year, hee just wrong, then he went on to say it's all water weight and fat. If someone put on 20lbs of fat, they wouldn't start getting clear and more visible muscle definition.

          You can try the way i did it

          3x8-16 Bench Press, Incline, or Flat.

          or don't. It doesn't effect my life. But I'm telling you what worked for me.

          Yup.
          Your claims? Completey unsubstantiated.
          His claims? Backed by CRUCIAL evidence and CHADime.

          Btw? BOOM.
