I switched to lighter weights with a minimum of 15 rep with little to no rest between sets. I have definitely been seeing more results. I can focus more on form and mind-muscle connection. Also, by using light weights you can really target the muscle without other muscles jumping unconsciously to compensate.

The first thing to come to mind is safety. Lift to correct any muscle imbalances. Then after this lift with strict form targeting as much as possible the muscles trained. All of the topics covered in the video is great advice and to add to this for more intensity you should increase your volume of your workout by increasing your sets while pausing your reps during the contraction phase of the exercise until failure.

I go back and listen to all the body builders talk about their body and how it is destroyed from lifting heavy weights. Then I wonder why in the hell would anyone want to rip their body apart for not much good reason at all? Most of them are far from healthy. Worn out joints, torn muscles, tendons, discs , so on and so on. Robert oberst, talked about how no normal person should be doing dead lifts how it is just an injury waiting to happen. Even bench press is the cause of a lot of inury because it's just not a natural movement to lay on your back and push heavy items away.

Agreed, and weightlifting regularly, like trying to lift everyday at least, even if you don't make it everyday, is part of the good stress that you chose to inflict upon yourself, so when the bad stress comes, you can hopefully manage it properly. Physical stress, and psychological stress don't fully overlap, so maintaining your limits on what you can handle psychologically is important, because it's harder to know what the breaking point is. With the mind, you can break apart, and not know that you were going to break apart.

I think society broke her, and I blame how cold, how untruthful, and delusional our societies choose to be, and then they teach and force this onto others.

For almost a year I've seen only a small progress and it made me want to give up. I was doing full body with a barbell 3 times a week. I watched Ryan Humiston and changed my attitude. I added 15km of nordic walking 3 times a week (with 5kg in my backpack) and started training to absolute failure with a lighter barbell ( from 30kg to 20kg) and put a big emphasis on muscle connection. And holy sh*t it worked. Hope it helps somebody. Never give up brahs, we all gonna make it.

I lifted heavy to failure for 15 years and it was great (loved the challenge each and every set), but now that I’m headed toward my 40’s and I lift more for health, I’ve been lifting a lot lighter. I’ve seen similar results, but my body’s entire foundation was based off of my heavy lifting, so I may just be seeing muscle memory.

I train my muscles hard, then I dont train for 10 days. When they are getting used to it I train them again. Then I keep the gap in training days random. Sometimes 2, 3, 13. That way my muscles are always confused and they got no option but to grow.

The perspective to consider is constant TNT (time under tension) and absolute focus on the muscle that's being worked. That gets you to failure whether you're training lighter or heavier. Some people move the weight too quickly, pause at the the beginning and end of the movement thereby removing tension on the muscle, and are not mentally focused on what they're doing.

Its simple: heavy on compounds. And moderate on isolation exercises (8-12 reps) with a lot of focus on form.

don't lift too heavy. start off with compound bodyweight moves like push ups, pull ups, knee raise, kick outs, planks, and stretch 2-3 times per day. do that for a couple weeks to get your smaller muscle groups prepared then start adding weights into it. you dont need to go super heavy but its obviously going to rip muscle fibre quicker in a session as your lifting more weight in less reps so its a good idea to go heavier to save some time in the gym

You got to do both, like 2 days heavy , 2 days light . Two high intensity low volume, two low intensity high volume . Lifting heavy make you look Dense , hard . Lifting light make you look bigger . That’s why you need both.

Here it is cut and dry: 1) Warm-up your muscles with low weight and high reps to get the blood flowing. 2) Do heavy (80-95% max) to failure and lower the weight if you can't get 8 reps. 3) Finish work should be light and 15-20 reps with a good squeeze on each rep (also to failure). At the end of each set, do several small and quick reps until the you can't take the burn any more (the burn is metabolic stress). 4) Then go home and have a post-workout snack or meal. I usually have a protein shake.

Like others mentioned the size of these are a little bigger/longer than traditional weights so they aren’t the perfect solution for everyone. However, if you're looking for a flexible and space saving design for a home workout I’d recommend these.

Fascinating. Using heavier weights gives you faster workouts, less pain, and more burst strength. That said, lighter weights are less likely to injur you.

Over the last month I've been adjusting my weight so that I always fail between 45-60 seconds. 1-2 seconds concentric and 2-3 seconds eccentric contractions. There has been an obvious improvement in hypertrophy. I've never seen such rapid results before.

Great video. One thing you might also want to address next time is the risk of injury and stress on joints when going heavy. 😉💪🏼

Great info, thank you. I studied sports science but haven't been invested in resistance or stamina training for some time. Well researched, very interesting. 👍

Once you properly fatigue the muscles, they will adapt to not feel fatigued under the same stress. It doesn't matter whether you do this with light or heavy weights - what's important is exposing the muscle to stress that stimulates adaptation. However, the biggest difference (which may explain strength gains) is myofibrillar vs sarcoplasmic hypertrophy

I recently started to do low weight high rep sets. The thing I found was that my form on almost every lift sucked. This has allowed me to build muscle in my weak areas. For example my shoulders take over in a lot of lifts and going light has allowed me to see when that is happening and adjust so that I am really working what I am trying to work. I will probably go back to heavy again at some point but I think trying slow and low for awhile has really been a positive experience. Honestly if you plan on making weight lifting a life long thing you should probably try lots of different thing if for no other reason then to keep from getting board.

after training on and off for over 30 years, I Find using lighter weights results in more consistent gains, fewer skipped workouts, less dread and more workout enjoyment. since entering my 30's (im 48 now) I found high effort/high intensity/heavy weights just became harder and harder to summon up the energy to be ready for the task. Now with a dedicated higher rep workout (super basic bodyweight workout: pushups, pullups, rows, squats x 5 sets each) I've stuck with the program longer than any other time and made much more consistent gains. All the while i feel it has an effect on making stronger tendons and reduced risk of injury. A torn muscle is no joke. Also related to my issues with having a hard time struggling to summon the energy for all out sets to failur, i have embraced the (Russian) idea of leaving a bit of gas in the tank. the belief is that training to failure puts the lifter in a failure mentality, while a strong finish on a set feels like a win, so the lifter feels like a winner! So I stop around the point where i could still do 1 or 2 reps if my life depended on it, but only with great effort.

Your channel will be one of the top fitness channels in the near future I believe

Thanks for this video! I just started doing some lifting to gain some muscles and strength to use in playing ball. This is very useful. Now i understand why my muscles after 3 months seems to not grow that much and slow in gaining strength. I need to add light lifting after heavy ones :)

I like this method of using research to back up ideas and opinions 👏🏾

This is why I mix up strength training with hypertrophy / higher volume training. I find if I only go heavy, constantly, I build up stress damage to my joints / tendons / ligaments. I find mixing up higher volume training tends to drive blood into the muscle tissue and encourage healing.

bro its simple.. bigger weight fewer reps and intake more carbs than protein. lift lighter weight more reps and intake less carbs and more protein (recommend having 1 meal with more carbs if your planning on doing this) Also, make sure to change the type of movements you do to shock your muscles and gain more

There are several components to dieting methods at home. One plan I discovered which successfully combines these is the slim tactic formula (google it if you're interested) definately the no.1 guide that I've heard of. look at the unbelievable info .

At first I started working out to lose weight 3 years ago. In a year I reached my goal weight with medium reps/weights and steady cardio 3 times a week. Noticed that it is really hard for me to actually grow muscle past certain point. Experimented a lot with different workouts. Even done full body scan (not sure if I translated it right in English) every month to check results of them. Then, I started doing 2 sets of every exercise. 1 max weights till failure. 2nd max reps with low weight. And that actually worked wonders for me! So my point is, combine both.

As a powerlifter that's what I do. We like our strength and some of us like to look good too. I follow the 5/3/1 program, but I also like to through in some light weights and high reps after my workouts for that extra pump. I have noticed it does make a difference.

Wow, this channel is so good. Well researched and clearly presented without bro science or emotional bs

Ugggggggghhhhh am I supposed to remember this. You should just do a video series where you help a beginner from start to a point where they can workout by themselves

yeah my whole life changed when i started doing very slow controlled reps with light weights, focusing on mind muscle connection and form. it’s one of those things i think you can never truly grasp until you experience it yourself

Really interesting description of mechanical vs metabolic stress and strength conditioning.

MrInzombia I thought I was just a wuss (maybe I am). I built a workout plan where I got up to15 reps x 3 sets of full body (10 different exercises) within 20 minutes. All I had was ground workout and 2 25lb dumbbells. 3 sets of 15 holding a 25lb dumbbell (as well as the same doing lunges and the other exercises) almost made me puke a few times. I just got a gym membership (first time at a gym), and am changing my workout plan for specific muscle groups and heavier weights... should be good

"Heavy weights or light weights?" "Yes! Definitely!" 😁👍

Don't worry about the weight. Worry about slow and controlled reps of 10, 8, 6 with a failure at 6. Start there and increase weight while maintaining failure at 6. Gains come quick that way. Lots of water and a high protein well rounded diet.

Believe it or not, we still dont know for sure if training to failure is required. Some research says yes, some research says no. This and many contradictions still occur in the research. Trouble is, the best scientific minds on the planet are trying to figure out quantum gravity and stuff like dark energy, not how to make muscle bigger. Thus... the research is often not statistically significant because the participants are few and the duration short. We should all be our own scientists, and try to determine what works for us.

Great info and helpful tips! I actually learned all of this through experience, but wanted to reassure myself. Am reassured now 🙏

Great video Jeremy. One thing though, remember that progressive overload in the aspect of increasing weight lifter not only causes more mechanical tension, but also causes more metabolic fatigue, even if you're training in the "strength rep range", since metabolic fatigue is widely influenced by total volume, which is defined as reps x sets x WEIGHT. Just to clarify that both terms aren't that easy to differenciate, since any way of progressive overload with induce a higher metabolic stress to the muscle regardless of the rep range. Keep it up, you're making awesome content man

The best videos I´ve seen, great ideas, my trainning has improved a lot, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I would say "your body can talk with you ". Example, when i train with proper wieght ( i m doing 10 reps x 4 sets ) like 10 days to 14 days i feel when i need to increase the weight. If you can't feel "Pump" when you are training, then it is time to increase weight. I m also only increasing weights by %15-%20. Each weight becomes easier within 2 weeks period and gain muscle. Hope it helps. Thank you for video Jeremy.

I’m going to do this bro thank you for sharing. Very well presented mate, enjoyable to watch and inspirational. It’s 2am and I feel like stumbling around in the garage looking for dumbbells but I’m sure the dog will bark and wake the wife and all hell will break loose for sure…. Best save that one for tomorrow but I will lay in bed and do a visualisation workout focusing on the two styles, heavy then pump. I love it cheers mate.

I love the way you explain everything nd the way you use your voice volume and your knowledge. It is enjoyable to see and watch. I do not enjoy loud and fast talking like I have seen in many others trainers and fitness gurus. You are such a sweetheart.

Love is the most powerful force in the Universe thats what i want to do but i dont have heavy enough dumbbells

Here are some key points for those seeking an optimum physique. First, genetics sets the standard. Second, seek a synergistic approach. Creating a whole greater than the sum of the parts. The rep, going to failure on each rep that you perform. Rest period between sets are 45 seconds. One minute of the same exercise, as weight increases. No rest period switching to another exercise, until started. Form utilizing the proper exercise per body part. Eat a balance diet especially complex Carbohydrates. Rest, your body need 3 days rest period per body part. Weight, Increase gradually. Most important do not take steroids.

Maintained two CPT certs for over 25 years. When first started training believed the “heavy for hypertrophy” mantra. If hypertrophy is the goal…experience and legitimate peer reviewed studies have shown lighter (not “light”) sets in higher rep range (15-25reps varies) have a lot of advantages, to name a few: 1) longevity - less injury; 2) generally better pump; 3) stricter form/better control; 4) better mind/muscle connection. While it can be almost a spiritual experience to go heavy and rage through a low rep set to failure and a new weight personal best…today I’ll take strict form, digging deep to failure with a higher rep more moderate weight with reduced risk of injury for sport longevity and better pump every time.

*IN CONCLUSION: GO LIFT*

As the body responds to specificity in training I am wondering if the best way to get both types of stresses would be for example to do mechanical tension early in the week, then switch to metabolic stress later in the week when the body is already a bit fatigued (making it easier to go failure) and then having a rest day or two over the weekend. Maybe a video on this subject at some point?

Awesome video , and your 100 percent right I started going heavy from light and and my strength skyrocketed the last 2 months

I think light is the best because even if you done fitness for a long time you're just going to end hurting yourself and paying the price in the long run

I've always focused on heavier weights and progressive overload in the 6-12 rep range. Lately I cut my weights 25-50%, focus on perfect form, slower and controlled concentric, squeezing and holding at peak contraction, and slower controlled eccentric. I'm also doing mostly dumbbell, cable and machine work. I'm doing 10-15 reps with this weight. I've noticed more in terms of muscle gain than ever. I have to assume this is because of better targeting of the muscle I'm trying to work and time under tension. This also as a result has a lot less systematic fatigue so I'm able to work out more often without taking days off to recover. Until I am able to do 3-4 sets with complete control I do not go up in weight.

This is a perfect approach

Heavy weights fuck up your body in the long run. Lightweights, more reps until failure has the same muscle gains. Basically whatever weight you use, even if you were to use body weight, the more reps you do, the more results you will see! Also using a lighter weight, you are able to do your reps properly 👍
