well i mean...i used to literally increase weight...by five pounds everytime i could hit 12 reps twice in a row...i used to rep somewhere between 180-210 on bench...but the muscle was never really getting that great a workout. this way i'm like half of that and the next day pec is feeling worked...so i think its just about the focus on the muscles...

thats still pretty big !


i try to do as much weights as i can handle usually.. (while maintaining form of course) and then lower the weight down throughout my sets

so basically my sets try to go: warm up, higher, higher, same, lower, very low.

this way i totally kill the muscle.. i wont be able to go back to near that muscle group for a couple of days.

i am seeing results this way in size, and strength

i should try you way too flooriller see how it works.. i guess everybodies body is different.

well..shit you can't argue with results hehehe. and like i said...i've seen results that way too. i'm just trying something different for a little bit.

but see here is the difference i'm noticing...

when i used to do that...with big weight you get to your last reps and you're struggling, but are you struggling because the muslce is tired or because you're body is tired? when i'm getting to those last reps with what i've been doing now...my body is fine...i'm out of breath, but the muscle is seriously just too worked to lift the weight anymore. i think when i used to just try to put up a lot of weight...my body would just be exhausted or the supporting muscles would be ehausted and that would cause me to not be able to do more. i think when you do more weight then you should, you basically force the secondary muscles to take over to lift the weight, whereas if you use a lighter weight you can focus on the actual muscle lifting it...

and well...its not like an impressive 16 hehe...i'm still a fat ass hahaa


if i was you nrg...i'd do whatever you're doing while you're still getting results. maybe if you hit a plateau...then go ahead and try out what i'm talking about...i guess the most important thing is the results hehe..

Word!

I agree with you about lowering the weights. If you're working out at too much weight, you cheat. But if you lower the weight, you'll do the correct range of motion, thus getting better results!s

I used to be able to throw up around 300 on incline bench. those pictures from 2 years ago on page 1 were what I looked like. All my gains have been from focusing on a slow negative, a flex on the contraction, and a solid push for contraction. Proper form necessitates a lower weight. and getting the strong fibers tired and then dropping down and making all the weak ones lift means 80% of your muscle will grow instead of the already strong 20%
