I bulked for 3 years and then did my first diet. I didnt go all crazy in my bulk obviously, just a small surplus. But I prefer size over being lean. You can get big even if you are skinny now. Look for good information and read up, I like Renaissance Periodization, Mike Israetel is frequent on podcasts and youtube. Also maybe check out Eric Helms, more information is not hard to find if you start with reading and listening on their stuff. Anyhow, being big helps with girls obviously. But as othe…

Dont do 5x5, do higher reps and higher volume. Read this for why: https://mennohenselmans.com/optimal-training-volume/ Find a linear progression (LP) program with more volume. One that I can recommend is r/nsuns, it got good amount of volume and is LP. The problem is that it progresses week to week and you want workout to workout, so look around a bit, there Ive heard of Greyskull LP on reddit, but havent checked it out.

Write down your RMs for all reps, try to beat them frequently. You can always beat them in one rep range, maybe sometimes you train for strength and beat a 1-3 RM, other times you try as many reps as possible and beat a 15-20 RM. That gives you a goal to lift more. Train with friends, that always pushes me to do more when Im tired. It makes me stay longer at the gym and do more when I alone would have gone home. Write down every workout and try to beat it the next time with more reps, set or wei…

I've trained Krav for over 2 years. Ofc you will never be secure against multiple attackers, but you can be more or less prepared, more if you train for it. About the last part of your comment, Krav will train mostly standing fighting and you will not waste your time at for eg clinch
/r/askTRP09/07/18 03:25 PM

Go for krav maga definitely. Multiple attackers, training against weapons and training with street mentality. Its not a sport for a reason. Mma or BJJ is stupid, you dont want to crawl on the ground, his friends or some random (that see you winning -> youre the bad guy) will kick you in the head. If you want to train a sport go for thai or kick boxing. But for self defense the best choice is krav maga.

All diets work for same reason calorie deficit or surplus. Eat what you like most. If its easy for you to be in deficit/surplus with keto sure do that if you enjoy it, but ist not something magical as much people say.

I would lift. It gets you to look better. Also, how many fights have you've been to in your life? And third if you want to know self defense then actually learn that, like Krav Maga. MMA is a sport and only 1v1, no weapons etc, its not really transferable to street fights

Buy a neck harness, just bought one and they are awesome. But you could also do it with a hat and a weight on your forehead (or back of the head for reverse ones). Theres vidwoa on youtube, think it was alphadestiny (or he was on omarisuf channel), you'll probably find it if you search. I think unweighted are too light, but you might start with it. In the video there are wrestlings exercises for the neck also, if you want to progress with bodyweight

Well it's true. You can build muscle with high reps or low reps. However low reps are ineffective due to creating a lot of fatiuge, as you mentioned. Are you doing reps of 6,8,12 now? That's absolutely fine, in the article from RP, he assumes a working set to have reps between 8-20. I guess the normal range would be 8-12, but sometimes you can step out of it and do 5's or 15, or even 20 if you feel like it. But too high reps, above 20 and perhaps 20 as well, would probably train your endurance m…

So who train for strength then? Only amateurs? I would say powerlifters train for strength, and that strength training is mostly around 3RM. You don't have to limit yourself to 3-4 days if you don't want to. 5-6 days are absolutely fine if you prefer. Bodybuilder splits are stupid yes, due to lack of frequency. Hypertrophy training with much volume and frequency is how you should train for growth. As you state 8-12 reps are suitable and hitting each muscle group 2-6 times per week depending on g…

What is wrong with you? It's not optimal in any way to only focus on getting stronger and doing 3 sets per week. If you want to get bigger you need to do enough volume, it's no fucking preference. If you prefer shitty gains it might be.

I don't know why mine is relevant, but I did 175 kg at 77 kg BW, giving 2.3 times my bodyweight. You can absolutely get abs without doing deadlifts. And although deadlifts are good for other reasons its not the best way to build abs. Also if you want a really nice stomach, how would you build obliques with deadlifts and squats? Jeff Nippard can explain it for you, 2 min in this clip "Squats and deadlifts actually don't activate the abs very well. Which should be fairly obvious (not to everyone a…

Doing heavy sets is not enough to grow in an optimal manner. Yeah sure people might not have time, but then they can superset exercises, lower rest time, both of which is easier with lighter loads. Of course you need progressive overload also, when did I claim the opposite?
/r/TheRedPill03/04/18 01:01 PM
1

Yes they are, your idol has chicken legs. You think Israetel did studies on steriods users or what? Exactly my point. You cant do enough volume with heavy lifts due to fatigue. You can still grow on it, but its not optimal. Anecdotal "evidence" isnt valid, but much people dont seem to get that.

Or if you're too lazy for that as well, just read the quotes, they litterally say: volume is key driver for hypertrophy and volume > progressive overload. Now, your turn, …

Well here you have some volume landmarks for quads. So frequency is at least ok, within 1.5-3 times/week. What about volume? MV is 6 sets, this will maintain your muscle. MEV is 8 sets, minimum volume to grow. MAV is 12 to 18, you want to be here to grow good. MRV is 20, you want to stay below this most of the time to recover well. And what do we got in the program. 3 shitty sets per week? No, I think it's way too little. According to Isreatel you wouldn't even maintain your muscle on it. It doe…

I think it's bs, haven't heard anyone mention it and I follow kinda much profiles in lifting. If it would have been that important as he claims, they should talk about it, however its not what they mentions as most or even important for hypertrophy, it's volume and progressive overload that are mentioned.

Well I'm doing about 15 different exercises per week, and it might go one week before I do it again. Also that's on different rep ranges, say only two different rep ranges and if would be 30 items to remember.

Good for you, why you even track calories, you don't remember what you eat and get a feel for that? Yeah, as you didn't read, I've been lifting for 1 year and 4 months. Also I saw a really big change from going from low volume programs (Madcow, Brian Alsruhe Linear Progression) towards a program with higher volume and frequency (Upper Lower split 5 times per week, 5 sets x 10 reps per exercise).
/r/TheRedPill02/04/18 07:49 PM

Well I can only talk for myself and there is no way that I would remember all my lifts during one week. Also if I do 10's for some weeks and then want to do 5's I have to go back several weeks to see what's appropriate to start with there. Updated the post with my stats and pics.

If you don't plan nothing and just go to the gym and overload by feel you will not overload as much as if you plan for it and try to beat your previous lifts. Of course I write down all my lifts, it's awesome. How do you overload if you don't know what you were doing previously, makes no sense.

Well, if you want good result you have to do the work, not only in the gym but also using your mind and setting up a good plan. Of course you can get mediocre results by just going to the gym mindlessly. It's like saying that to loose weight you only need to eat less. Well sure you might get results from that. But not the same results as if you track your calories, lower them over time and make sure you get progress.

I think you could try to train with higher volume, it's less stressful and will help you achieve better gains as well.

Similar routine as I just did. I did an Upper Lower split. Trained the two workouts consecutively and afterwards one rest day. Did this the whole week so 5 workout days per week. That volume did wonders, did 5x10 for 4 weeks then 5x8 for 4 weeks.

Also if you have platued I think its time to leave full body workouts behind if you have time to train more than 3 times per week. Realize that you need to recover both body parts and the whole neural system so take your rest days. When you rest and sleep you grow. Also you want to be able to train hard next time so dont work yourself out on all muscle groups in one day.

Theres norhing wrong with curls but isolation movements should dont be a big part of your routine. Do 5x5 if you havent developed any substantial strength yet, go to the gym 3-4 times per week if you do 5x5. If you have stalled on 5x5, I recommend doing another program, do a upper lower split with one rest day after so you have upper, lower, rest, upper, lower, rest etc. That gives you 5 times per week.

Not exactly all of them, but most of them. I've had exam periods where I've lost a lot of strength due to all outside stress. But if you are in normal circumstances you should progress every workout, and it dont have to be in weight, do one more rep or one more set or look up an old 15RM or 20RM and beat it.

I cant recommend any particular, if you want to buy one choose one that suits how many days you want to workout and if you want to focus on full body or a specific muscle group.

Perhaps you're right on the carry over part. I myself dont understand why its so hard for people to grasp that volume is the key driver for hypertrophy and not strength.

So you mean that if I increase my weight in say bench press from 80x10 to 90x10 that wont have any carry over ro my 1RM? Doesnt make any sense. You wont build size by doing 5's and 3's at least not as fast as by doing 10's.

It seems kinda good I think, you have a decent amount of volume. Why not try it and go for RP after? I didnt post any program really, but I think that during the RP programs you will not be as strong as before due to heavy volume and overloading. However if you test your strength after the program and after deload and peak Im sure that you will have made strength gains as well. I just want to build muscle right now and dont care for strengrmth anyway and why should you? Who will care how much yo…

Do as you please. His advice isnt for steriod users though but whatever. No one cares about how strong you are. I respect him more than Berkhan, much better scientific ground in RP than leangains. No bullshitting.

Maybe not the same variation of it as you then. Sure you might have good form before starting madcow, so what. What I meant is that strength at 1RM depends a lot of neurological adaptations, thats more than form, its about activating the muscles needed and thats a big part of what you'll practice if you train below 3RM. Obviously you need to overload, where do I say that you don't? I said that if your goal is strength and powerlifting you want to train a lot with <3 RM creating a lot of fatigue …

Sure but it's still not the fastest or most effective way to build abs, check out Jeff Nippard on this on youtube. No one is denying that getting lean and squatting and deadlifting wont work, its not the most effective way though.
/r/TheRedPill01/04/18 02:34 PM

I would say that 8 sets per week for a muscle group like chest is low even when cutting. Probably 10-12 would be reasonable while cutting and when bulking going from 12 up to 20.

Still if you want to build abs, deadlifts and squats is not the best way to do it. About frequency, several studies shows that 2-3 times per week is optimal, still Berkhan sticks with 1 time per week in hos default program. You can squat more than once per week

Wow, so you mean I don't have to stick to a fixed rep that someone told me to do? That's awesome, here I've been doing what I'm told and not thinking that I can alter it at all. Seriously, everyone does that, and if they don't they are just retarded. It's just common sense. Israetel don't just fixed reps in his templates neither.
/r/TheRedPill01/04/18 12:58 PM

True but he exaggerates sometimes saying things like you only need deadlifts and squats to build abs, which is total bullshit. The abs are only activated by deadlifts and squats but by no mean optimally trained by deadlifts and squats.

I would go with Starting Strength or Stronglifts as a beginner and move to RP when you cannot perform well on those. If you want add in a fourth day on those programs to get a bit more volume. But RP seems to be more directed for intermediate lifters.

It's a full program. You can choose full body. The body part templates has extra focus on that body parts but you still train the whole body, some muscle groups might be put on maintenance and you shouldn't expect too much growth there.

Mike Matthews built an aesthetic physique. I'm not comparing Israetel and Berkhan, you are, and I don't get why. Anyway Berkhan don't train for strength. He still sticks to the 8-12 rep range. But he do way too few sets/week to make enough growth.

So what if Berkhan has great genetics, who cares? That still wont work for the majority. Obviously you have to push yourself and train hard. When people are in a study they train to real failure, you have people screaming at you and you are much more closer to failure than 99% of the people at a gym. They don't ask them, "do you think that was failure?", where the fuck did you get that shit from...

So what if Berkhan is stronger than Israetel? Who cares? Israetel isn't in it for strength even. Berkhan don't dare to bulk up and grow. He is strong sure, but he is not aesthetic at all. If you can't overload on high frequency and volume you are just stupid.

Look the video I've sent you from Kinobody saying how you shouldn't do deadlifts or squats. Instead do some pussy ass bulgarian split squats. They're different since Kinobody took Berkhans approach and made it stupid. Eric Helms isn't on steriods. But anyway, try it out and see for yourself, or don't and don't grow as much as you could.

Yeah he only have a phd in this shit. Why trust him? Or why listen to Mike Israetel, saying the same things, also phd? No let's trust some drugged powerlifter instead. Martin Berkhan is great but he's wrong on the volume part. If you only train for strength the only that you will do is fatigue yourself and not grow. You grow by training with high volume and doing 8-12 reps.

Hm read your comment again. First I agree that everyone takes from everyone in the fitness industry. But Kinobody took a lot from Leangains and simplified it and stupidfied it. So I think it's better to go to the real source than follow Kinobody. Sure, no one says deadlifts or squats are neccessary. But they are great exercises and if you can do them you should. They activate and build a lot of muscles in short time. But sure if you want to change deadlifts for like 3 other exercises, do so, but…

Don't know what program you followed but it surely wasn't madcow. You don't reset anything in madcow, you keep adding 5lbs to all lifts every week until you plateau (meaning fail to hit all reps on a lift 3 attempts in a row... sometimes even 4 attempts). And the deload is just subtracting 20lbs from the lift you failed and working your way back up until you blast through the plateau. I did Madcow. I worked up to my plateau, doing too little work until the plateau and after that failed super fas…

Do pullups, leg raises, toes to bar, dips, handstand pushup, inclined push ups, push ups with someone on your back, squats with someone on your back.

I agree that you should build up a basic strength. But what Mike talked about in the podcast was frequency for beginners and not volume. So perhaps they could do 4 or even 5 workouts with 5x5, instead of the common 3 times per week. However haven't heard that much about it, was just discussed briefly in the podcast mentioned above.

Check this out by Eric Helms. Problem with training for strengths, low reps, is that you create a lot of fatigue. Limiting how much volume you can train and recover from, therefore limiting your gains.

If you say that you train for strength. Everyone assumes that you are training for maxing out your 1RM. Yeah strength is a big factor. And I also think it's good to train it sometimes, maybe take some mesocycles and focus on it. But I still belive that main focus should be volume and strength comes second.

Low intensity for several weeks, super easy workouts and then in the end it gets super hard for like 2 weeks until you have to start over... You don't need to do any 3's or 5's on squats or deadlifts if you dont want to, you can shoot for 10's or 8's works great.

No shit. No one is saying that you don't need strength. But focus shouldn't be on maxing your 1RM and training with <5RM for any substantial amount of time, if your goal is to build muscle. You will get stronger by doing 8-12 reps as well.

That's what Israetel says in the article and that's what I wrote as well. Leave 1-4 reps in the tank, you don't want to go to failure etc... Btw, on the note on beginners, just listened to a podcast with Dr. Israetel and he talked about that beginners can train more frequently than advanced since they are lifting so light weights that the damage isn't that great. So maybe it would be beneficial to do something with more training frequency than Starting Strength. But haven't found it in written f…

Greyskull Phark’s Haven't seen that program. But you add in more sets and keep the reps at 8 - 12. There's no reason for not squatting or deadlifting for 8 - 12 reps or higher. Did it myself, not in the RP program, but did 10 reps for four weeks and then 8 reps for 4 weeks and I grew a lot. I only did bench, squats, deadlifts, pullups, seal row and military press. Upper lower split, one day rest between workout days, so 5 workouts per week and 5 set per exercise. Worked wonders.

Start with this or starting strength! You need to build a base strength using linear progression and learning the compounds movements. This will give you a good foundation to stand on.
