So what is this channel for? Well, years ago it started off as a place to store my PB's basically, so it was even more raw than the current format. Rather than use KZread as a "just a library", I thought, why not impart some knowledge to anyone that wants to learn what it takes to get to a contest winning physique (on an amateur level obvs) and maintain a good level of muscle, strength and condition.

I'm 38 at the time of writing this, and I've been tweaking my current training method, one that allows for more rest, and I believe...quicker results. Recently (May 2024) I've reached what I believe is close to the final form of this training method, so I'll be assessing the results over the next couple of months to see how it can be improved further.

I'm not looking to monetise this information, I'm actually just here to share the experience and also leave something for fellow bodybuilding enthusiasts to follow and hopefully learn from.

Who knows, my way might just work for you.

  • @pstaplehurst
    @pstaplehurst2 ай бұрын

    Personally mate I try to aim for 8-10 reps with near perfect form, from there, do as many cheat reps as you can until the negative portion of the rep is basically exhausted and you can’t control the weight down anymore. One thing I have noticed recently is that my arms are responding way better to slightly higher reps (10-12’s) rather than 6-8 and ideally with constant reps, so no breaks in between reps, until you need a break for the cheat reps.

I do tend to stop and rest the weight on my thighs about 3/4 of the way through the set but I know ultimately its going to reduce time under tension so il drop the weight and to keep a more constant TOT.

    Never ever skip leg day…. unless yours are broken 🧑🏻‍🦽 I suffered for years with what I thought was arthritis in both my knees. I couldn’t walk up the stairs without pulling myself up using the bannister, putting my full weight through each leg was so painful. In the end I sought out help and wound up seeing the physio for the Team GB rowing team, 7-8 sessions later I was fixed. It turned out that my IT band was so tight on both legs it had been pulling my knee cap off centre and was rubbing against the bone… it was savage. I trained legs twice a week to get them to catch up with my upper body. I did whatever it took, monster sets, 50 rep sets, drop sets until you’re about to throw up, you name it and I pretty much did it. 18 months later I was on stage winning my second bodybuilding show and qualifying for the British finals 🏆🥇
