How’s this for an interesting approach? Ever heard of muscle rounds? I know, what a stupid name but like any culture filled with cool people you’re gonna get cool ass names, so let’s just ignore that for a second. Basically the idea was taught to me just to stimulate stubborn muscle groups. However, after testing it for a bit, I’ve discovered there’s a fair bit More to it than that. The concept is: aim for eight reps, plus minus, relative to what you’re doing. It could be a little bit more around 10, depending on your strength and stamina levels. We aim for six sets, eight reps each set. 10 second rests only between each set. So you choose a weight that you know you can get 8 reps with before failure. Your first set you’ll easily hit 8 reps, the second set will be harder and so on. Until you hit full failure on the eighth rep of the last set. I found personally that if I have something left in the tank, I keep pumping out the reps on the very last set until failure. What I have discovered as the most significant attribute of this technique is the lack of central nervous system overstimulation. When attacking the heaviest possible weights you can do until extreme failure, you extremely stimulate the central nervous system and yes it has a limit that you can exceed. It like limited bandwidth - if you exceeded it, that’s it. Doing this technique allows you to work with weights that are much more manageable, with a focus on hypertrophy because of volume and time spent actual working the muscles. You still get extreme response because you get to failure and in actual fact Most of the weights you start with you’ll find are not that far off your max working weights in any case, which is awesome. One of the many great benefits of this technique is that your workouts go much faster, much less waiting around, much more fun getting busy with things that are stimulating and the whole workout ends up feeling much more like sport, rather than destroying yourself, and when you leave the gym, you leave feelings still alive instead of shaking and trembling because your nervous system has been maxed out.

Hola I’m Hamid, 18 years old from Sweden. I am 79 kg, lost 21 kg in last summer. My goal is to reach 70 kg. Right now I am working out 3 times a week. It’s full heavyweights lifting and some cardio. I have a normal diet, just protein and an enough amount of fat and carbs. I am a shy guy so I won’t post a pic of my physique 😂. Hope y’all have a great day.
