Let me save u this dribble rep the muscle to absolute failure you will grow providing ur doing all the other correct food n sleep requirements only other benefit of using a heavy weights for lower reps again to failure being the key is the strength gains there are ample studies out there to back this fact.

Surely time under tension supersedes anything, in regards to achieving muscle mass? With the lat pull down example, I am not surprised with those findings, as there is more time under tension. I do not believe that reps matter, as much as many people believe they do. This is a fixation of bro science.

If you were doing 2 sets of 5 as opposed to 1 set of 10 (for the lat pull down study, but really any exercise, wouldn't you expect to do higher weight on the lower sets? And wouldn't you expect the higher weight to impact the level of muscle growth?
Or did I miss the point of that study?

Keep in mind that these guidelines are for novice and early intermediate trainees. Some of the advice given in this video will NOT pertain to advanced lifters. Particularly, the theory of Effective Reps. In the case of an advanced lifter, total volume seems to be most important.

I quit lifting for Numbers and started doing alot of drop sets with in 6 reps to 12 reps. Weight dont matter just use what ever weight you can get 6 to 12 reps with and feel like i killed the body part im working. Good time under tention good pump good burn and doms.

so this video is saying 5x5 5x6 5x7 or 5x8 and up is not going to build muscle but only strength what a bunch of crap so not true on my chest day I do 5x8 and then max out on my last set with 2 to 3 reps and have been getting good results

I believe it-s time under tension. I can do 12 reps of squats, really quickly, not controlling the movement, which takes 15seconds all together. Or do it nicely, controlled, slowly negative, which can take for 40 second. It-s still not the same.

I workout when i can-t go to the gym, I do as many reps as I can on each arm which is probably around 25-30 reps but towards the end I am really pushing it, and then I-ll do pull ups in between sets. My goal is to get mass, is this even practical?

I have a degree in Science. I teach Physics and Chemistry at College level. I could not understand your terminologies. The 30 percent of this and 70 percent of that. How is the average Joe supposed to figure this out in a gym?

My body has shit endurance, but it's well equipped for strength. I can gain strength fast with a rep range of 5-7 for 2 sets. Once I go above that it takes longer and longer to up the weight.
