Dave Palumbo on quad shots

[Ripgut]

Against @Poppy orders I went for another PR… In my defense it wasn’t a one rep max I hit it twice… Might have hit it three times but I hit the bench frame on the first rep

Sitting around 205lbs

Don’t look like no fuckin 205 in your profile pic bro…

 

[Uglyman101]

Ha… not sure if that’s a compliment or doubting me. All good bro either way… that profile pic is older and in that pic I am probably closer to 200lbs. I am 5ft 8.5in dude. Check my last winter bulk post. I hit 215lbs. Trimming down for summer now.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I’d take as compliment you always look bigger than your weight

 

[Poppy]

Be careful brother!

My advice…again… hahaha

Imo… reps of less than 5 are only good for ramping up for platform or maybe an every 6 months or so test.

 

[Poppy]

Ditto what @Dirtnasty said

 

[Ripgut]

Looking around 230 all cock diesel in shit…

 

[Ripgut]

Ok ok I’ll wait another 6 months…maybe 3…

 

[Ripgut]

@Poppy so your saying every six months take it to the extreme to engage some different fibers or what?

 

[Ripgut]

Your 205 looks a lot bigger than my 190.

 

[Dirtnasty]

What is your goal are tryingto build muscle or strength is what you have to ask yourself. 5 reps and lower is strength training which comes with a larger risk of injury. 6-30 depending exersize is goig to more towards hypertrophy I like the 8-12 rep on compounds and heavier lifts the. 12-20 on iso movements. I’m not in good shape so anything after that becomes more of f an issue with cardiovascular than muscles

 

[Ripgut]

Size . But I’m just trying to mix it some with lifting heavy this last week or so. Then I’ll go back maintaining lighter…

 

[Ripgut]

Usually start at a lighter weight… With 20 reps… then increase the weight until I can’t do more than 8 to 10 reps

 

[Poppy]

Everything @Dirtnasty said.

Hard to serve two masters.

When training for hypertrophy… you’re going to get stronger. No way around that… just not as strong as “strength” training. Maybe do as @Dirtnasty and a lot of PL’s do (in off season) and work in cycles of hypertrophy then strength. Couple of months of each….6 weeks of each…dirt is right though, strength training if not done with temperance will have a higher risk of injury.

 

[Mossy1985]

For me I strength train and hypertrophy each week. I have a day for upper and a day for lower strength training. Not 1-3 reps though. More like 5-8. Other 3 days a week is hypertrophy of 12-20 reps. When I start getting tired I’ll swap to a PPL program and train hypertrophy only until I’m bored. Then I’ll add my strength work back in. Just what works for me.

 

[Ripgut]

Yeah I might lean towards something to the standard. Hypertrophy is nice… But strength is needed… to me that way I can move towards hypertrophy with heavier weights…

 

[Mossy1985]

My strength days I’m usually using from 65%-85% of what should be my 1 rep max. Keep track of all your numbers and all that math will come in handy.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I used to do ppl first 3 days where the heavy days then second three were hypertrophy/form work

 

[Dirtnasty]

You should actually be looking at the other way build hypertrophy strength and size to be able
Yo add to the lower reps. I’ll tell you know lifting heavy on lower row range doesn’t do ahit to help with Hugh rep ranges but it goes the other way as added size give more potential

 

[Mossy1985]

YayYay I dig it. The tough part for me with PPL is the 6 days a week to hit everything twice. I like my Wednesday’s and Sunday’s off. That’s my therapeutic time in the garden or sitting by a fire.
