Good advice. Was stuck in a routine for each exercise - one set of 15 reps followed by four sets of 12 reps. If I didn't think I could achieve the 15/12 reps, I simply didn't try and pile on any extra weight. A Mate at the gym told me I had it all wrong and to forget the 15/12 rep mindset. Am now adding weight, and yes, Jeff is right, I'm now lifting much heavier weight. Initially I might only achieve 3, 4 or 5 reps, but these gradually go up to higher numbers and achieve much better results.

Love when I see a vid from a guy of your stature that confirms the way I train. I do 10 rep sets last being to failure. Usually 3 sets hitting one muscle from different points. If I plattoe a few times I will just add weight an strive for those 10 reps the next time. Thinking to just go heavy every 2-3 times I do a certain routine after watching this. Hate doing heavy sets thou as form almost always is harder to keep. Liked an watched the ads as my thanks an support.

170cm, 80kg (Bodyfat aroud 25%) 30 years old, never exercised, used to drink alcohol and smoking for 15 years now, and i can bench press only for 30kg (5+5kg on barbell) for 4x12, and can't improve for like 3 weeks, dont know why, maybe because i eat less to bring down bodyfat percentage and dont have enough energy? Im afraid to put more weight because have no partner. What to do? I know it's a childish weight but.

Hi Everyone, I have a quick question I would like clarification for. Jeff has spoken in other videos about how the optimal TUT (time under tension) being somewhere around 45 second to 1 minute per set. But if you are doing say, 5 reps for a set, should each rep take about 10 seconds? Or is this a different method since you are overloading a bit more?

Well if you want to train you actually have to lift only 60% of what you actually can and once in a 30 days or even more do 100%. Thats what Big Z is doing ( 4 times strongest man in earth. If you dont listen to that one eventually you will come to a point where you train harder and harder but your results goes down.

IF you do HIT training to failure there is scientific results. SCIENTIFIC that if you go to FAILURE there was no difference in growth whether or not you go heavy and low reps or light and many reps Not to risk if you are older lifting heavy has much more possible to go. This heavy thing is relative

if you think 3-8 reps, that's exactly how many you'll do. Do as many as you can, but adjust the weight so it falls in that range. The mind is a tricky thing. 3-8 reps for your mind is probably not your true 3-8 rep weight range. Know where you're at, but never count.

#2 - exposes imbalances. So I have exposed my imbalances, what do I do with them? Do 3 reps on the left and 3 on the right even though I could've done 4 on the left and just wait until the right can do as many as left or is there a better way?

I hate heavy weight it's mostly the rest time you have to do I really don't have time to sit in the gym for hours on end because of that crappy rest time I prefer to just start light and work my weight up or vice versa witha 45 second restt
