I'm still in my offseason for about 8 more weeks. I want to grow but still be strong. What is a good rep range to increase strength but also grow?
This is a recipe for overuse injuries. If you plan on training in that low of a rep range, then you'll need longer than a minute rest if you expect to make it through the sets. The whole idea of rest periods is something I have a major issue with as it implies that if you deviate from them, then the end result will different, which is absurd. Hypertrophy is not dictated by rest periods; it is dictated by overload, progression, TUT, and preiodization.Only for compound exercises...like let's say bench press for example, ull start up with a few warmup sets so ur ready, then around ur last set u keep it heavy, so that u fail at around 3 to 5 reps...(def b careful with this tho, have sumone spot u!) Do ur set, then rest a min, then go on to the next set, keep going till u reach around 6 sets or so. There's a few diff ways to go about this too...and in powerlifting their rest is much longer than hypertrophy training (bodybuilding) but if ur really interested in all that u should do a lil research on it. Doing this should def build sum serious strength.
The longer rest periods are needed when training closer to a 1RM and your prescribed methods goes outside of Prilepin's chart. I hate to use the phrase overtraining in this scenario as it's not accurate, but his recovery and performance will suffer as a result of this.I never said hypertrophy was all bout rest periods dude...and I said there's diff ways to go about heavy training, and mentioned the longer rest...
You don't need to explain the rest-pause method or the intricacies of the CNS and strength. I am very familiar with each of the role of the CNS, hence why I brought up Prilepin's chart.His recovery will b fine, look up the rest-pause technique, another technique u go real heavy on while only getting 10 to 15 sec rest, u repeat that till u get bout 8 to 10 reps...anyways this is my advice to the guy, I would never tell sumone to do sumthing I haven't tried and applyd myself...strength is all bout the nervous system not so much the muscle...but yea, I'm not going to argue with anyone over this, u don't like it, then don't do it!
RP techniques are NOT what you are talking about. and if you are, you yourself need to do more research on DC training and RPHis recovery will b fine, look up the rest-pause technique, another technique u go real heavy on while only getting 10 to 15 sec rest, u repeat that till u get bout 8 to 10 reps...anyways this is my advice to the guy, I would never tell sumone to do sumthing I haven't tried and applyd myself...strength is all bout the nervous system not so much the muscle...but yea, I'm not going to argue with anyone over this, u don't like it, then don't do it!
