>people will work up to a max bench press of like 200kg, and then they'll drop down the weight to like 100kg and do 500 reps and that's just pure stupidity. You've already trained the muscle to lift the maximum weight, why would you drop back down and teach that muscle to lift less weight?
Is this true? Have backoff sets been destroying my gainz?

this guy is clearly on gear so if you’re natty you should ignore everything he says.
if you’re on gear yourself then maybe he’s right.
it’s that simple. natty and roid weight training are two completely different sciences.
>if you’re on gear yourself then maybe he’s right.
no. You just can't lift 95% of 1RM for sets every single day
and to answer why people do it: For volume. Once you lift a heavy set your nervous system is all warmed up to get a good pump
This.
I bench just over 3 plates for my working strength training sets one day a week right now. As soon as finish my working sets, I drop to 2.5 plates for a set of 6-8, then 2 plates for a set of 15-20. It's mostly for volume, and also because it's fun. It's probably not optimal but I enjoy doing it and I'm still getting stronger.
Do you ever do straight sets? Like just do 3x5 with a lower weight than you usually do or 2x6 or 4x5?
I'm currently working on 325 lbs x5 for 3 sets right now. Right now I'm getting 3 to 4 reps. Previously I was working on 315x5, and I didn't progress until I confidently could hit that for 3 sets. My other press days are typically in the 8-12 range with lighter weight.
I wouldn't fully listen to me, though. I'm moronic, lift mostly for fun, and have been favoring bench press after I got in a car accident that prevented me from being able to squat for about a 16 months.
500kg deadlift?
Not how it works
>You've already trained the muscle to lift the maximum weight, why would you drop back down and teach that muscle to lift less weight?
moronic bro-science of the highest degree. You muscles will lift whatever the frick they are capable of lifting. You can't "train them to lift light vs heavy" that's stupid as frick
>overtraining meme
Just lift until you get a pump and feel sore
I cant into trad wifes. Im into athletic twinks with veganas
whatever more for me to choose from then
It's exaggerated but volume is more or less volume if it's over a sufficient % of orm. Usually people work the other way. Towards reducing/maintaining volume but increasing intensity because strength drop-offs are harder to get back from than volume drop offs. Idk why or care to. But if you can reliably get back to those numbers in a month or so I don't see a downside.
I can just imagine the incredibly autistic "trad" household here
I've got a buddy in that situation, she was a tinder hookup who taught him he liked to choke a b***h, but they're more like the "Happpiest Childless Millenials in Disneyland" than """trad""" larpers. We got to be friends through hotrodding and he's still pretty serious about that shit (while I've stopped upgrading my car, but I'll drink his beer and help him lift things).
Whatever, his dad died of MS, if he doesn't want to breed, I guess I can't argue with it.
lmao more like tard wife
The joke is shes a child
Whatever that quote is, its wrong. Good programs mix strength and hypertrophy training, though admittedly usually on different days, but there’s nothing wrong with doing them the same day either.
