Quick workout tonight, had a lot to do! Almost done with my little challenge. Dont think ill ever do 25 reps again hahaha
You are doing Great !
Are these reps to failure at 25? You can still hit hypertrophy at high reps with lighter weight. I've experimented with this recently keeping the rep range between 20 to 25 I mean the pumps are insane and if working to failure I get quite sore the next day.
Awesome stuff man, appreciate it! Let me know if you start doing the 25+!Came across this post and thought sounds very similar to a very effective training plan I used for about 6 mos the change things up.
Month 1-
3 sets of 20 per exercise, pyramid up in weight each set. Core lifts (bench or squat for example) do burnout 4th set.
7-8 exercises per workout
6 days per week split (1 muscle group per day: arms, chest, legs, back, shoulders, abs)
Month 2-
3 sets of 8 per exercise, pyramid up in weight each set. Core lifts (bench or squat for example) do burnout 4th set.
7-8 exercises per workout
6 days per week split (1 muscle group per day: arms, chest, legs, back, shoulders, abs)
Noticed that on my 20s months I would set a PR right on week 4 from the previous 20s 2 mos prior. For 8s was the same deal, PR every week 4 vs 2 mos prior. Really effective routine but it wore me down after 6 mos and I'm now back on pyramids (12, 10, 8) 7-8 exercises 3 sets per exercise except core exercises that I have a burnout set. On months with 20s was also a few lbs lighter and just looked leaner, 8s definitely just felt strong af. I'm about to hop back on 20s or maybe try 25s though after seeing this. Good stuff bro keep it up![]()
