and you WILL be happy
>You WILL stop going to faliure
Why tho? I like to do every set till failure. I feel like if don't push everything, I am slacking off
>You WILL rest 3-4 days a week
That leaves 3 full body days, or x2 upper/lower days.
That is already mega cramped 2h+ sessions, I need the fifth day.
You don't need to and it may be counterproductive. Of course on isolations it doesn't matter because the total fatigue in negligent, the only limiting factor is overuse injury.
But if 5 or even 3 sets of squats with 1-3 left in the tank each set causes enough of a stimuli for your next session, doing 5 sets to failure is just hampering yourself along with higher risk of injury.
>stop going to faliure
>steady pace throughout the workout
>get serious about cardio
shoo shoo, gains goblin.
>doing 5 sets to failure is just hampering yourself along with higher risk of injury.
people who go to failure on every set don't need to do 5 fucking sets for a growth stimulus.
>people who go to failure on every set don't need to do 5 fucking sets for a growth stimulus
I do six
>w-why?
I love the pain
Yeah and you'll soon discover that 5 sets of high quality but high effort reps is more sustainable than 3 sets of balls to the walls folding over on the last 1-3 reps. I lifted that way for a while and for sure it works, until a point. I still do it on all vanity muscle lifts.
>3 sets of balls to the walls folding over on the last 1-3 reps
literally just do reps until you can't do another rep. don't "fold over", don't compromise form. just do the exact same thing as many times as you can. what's confusing about this concept to some people? my last rep looks like my first rep but slower. then I try one more and fail to get the weight to its intended final position, so I declare the set complete.
You need to lift close or to failure in order to grow. It doesn't take a fucking basedence to understand that, doesn't it ?
>lift to failure necessary
It isn't. In fact, it can cripple your gains, depending on how often you lift, diet/recovery factors.
>I feel like if don't push everything, I am slacking off
Your fee fees don't matter.
Post injuries
never had one (from lifting weights)
I really think people who associate failure with injuries have never actually tried it or they egolift. you're way more likely to get injured from going through the motions on a cardio routine or from going for one rep maxes. doing bodybuilding style training is really fucking SAFE.
>lift to failur-ACK
another victim of deadlifts, the chud ACKcersise
That's not an injury. If you lift heavy while holding your breath, when you release the tension the blood will leave your head for a short while and you'll black out. Maybe if you lifted more than 2pl8 once in your life you'd know that
>when you release the tension the blood will leave your head for a short while and you'll black out
Almost as if the human body wasn't meant to do this...weird.
The human body also wasn't meant to sit in a chair for 8 hours a day and yet 90% of this board does that
that's lifting for STRENGTH. I don't lift for strength, I do bodybuilding.
LIFT TO -ACK
can any strongchud explain the point of these pipe things? Like, how are they better than just regular barbells?
It's to simulate a log press
pretty sure logs dont have convenient holes with handles
And now you know that all gym lifting is cope
retard, learn to read:
I like how everyone came to help immediately.
I lifted to failure all the time.
It worked, but there are better ways.
Alert: GAINS GOBLIN THREAD
Do not attempt any of this shit
Dude that would make you aesthetic and that's gay, you want to be plump and swole for the gaybros like the Greeks did.
DYEL pussy? post body
There is no bigger dyel flag than not ever going to failure. There has literally never been someone with a good physique who doesn’t at least occasionally lift to failure.
The thing I think most people don't realize is that yes lifting weights is a cool hobby and it's a great way to be healthy and stay in shape it's 100% possible to turn it into an obsession. Obsessions are not healthy for the body or mind and you'll find yourself going crazy, especially with weightlifting. Making weightlifting into an obsession turns you into a dog chasing its own tail. There is no end goal in weight lifting. Only arbitrary numbers and subjective images in the mirror. You can literally spend years obsessing over weightlifting and make 0 progress due to body dysmorphia or having unrealistic expectations.
Give yourself a moderately hard goal to achieve and then just have fun. 1/2/3/4 at 12% bodyfat. There. Youre strong and you'll look sexy. Now you can free yourself from your obsession and actually live your life
>You WILL rest 3-4 days a week
Maybe you will, grandpa, but my 6 days of lifting and 3 days of bouldering per week are sustainable for me at the moment.
>You WILL stop adopting gymbro attitudes towards lifting
Why?
as a dyel newfag i dont know who to believe
The only one of those I do is cardio
>The only one of those I do is cardio
Cardio is for women and homosexuals. Which one are you?
is rowing cardio?
Depends on your rowing program, but yes, it's probably one of the straightest forms of cardio.
>You WILL stop adopting pointless and harmful gymbro attitudes towards lifting
Don't really know what that attitude is specifically but although I like lifting to me it's just a means to an end (just like everything else kek)
>You WILL rest 3-4 days a week
>You WILL stop going to faliure
No
>You WILL adjust your training volume to keep the steady pace throughout the workout
Get better work capacity
>You WILL aim for higher reps
Rep range is exercise dependent but I have no issues doing lower body compounds for high reps
>You WILL get serious about cardio
Eh
>You WILL stretch often
Already fairly flexible (nearly able to do front splits) from doing everything with full ROM, I only stretch hard to get areas (gracilis for example)
>You WILL drink only clean water
I drink green tea sometimes but besides that yep
>You WILL have a balanced diet that includes of macronutrients
Balanced diet is an irritating term but I mostly eat whole foods so sure
>You WILL get at least 7 hours of sleep every night
Sure
>You WILL read books and learn a useful craft instead of wasting all time on a gym
If you aren't doing supersets/giantsets to do 50% more work in the gym while saving a ton of time what are you even doing with your life? Books sure but craft I dunno
>You WILL become the best version of yourself
Sure
>and you WILL be happy
Nice joke
Is this a how to stay dyel guide? If so, then very well done you fucking dumb moron.
I WON'T do any of these things.
>You WILL rest 3-4 days a week
Why fucking bother at all?
