    If you want to bulk up you need to lift a weight amount that is slightly strenuous but not too much, and do it until you’re physically incapable of doing it anymore. It WILL hurt and you WILL feel sore (especially in the beginning) but it’s the fastest way to bulk up. Once you’ve reached the size you want you can do lighter lifts but more reps to build lean muscle and get better muscular endurance.

    Muscular hypertrophy is optimum at the 8-12 rep range. Strength is at 3-5. Endurance = high reps.

    There is no ‘fastest’ way to bulk up, but the most optimum way is high calories and actually applying yourself w/ heavy compounds. Should be a weight that you struggle with the last 1/2 reps for.
    DOMS (Delayed onest muscle soreness) isn’t a sign of a ‘good’ workout either (I know you didn’t say this, just putting it in here before someone else does), it’s just where your body isn’t used to the strain. I don’t even get it anymore unless I go heavy as fuarrk on a new exercise.

    When I used to do rowing they’d just make us go on the rowing machines/weight lifting until we physically couldn’t do it anymore. The better you got, the longer you could go for but you’d break down eventually. The key is to make sure you’re doing the exercise right so you don’t get injured but to build up muscle you do actually have to “tear” it.

    Of course you’ll still improve whatever, I’m just talking optimum. I know the muscle has to suffer microtears, but at the same time theres no need to brutalize it completely as you’ll just take longer to recover and thus it can be counter productive. Of course I do go to failure sometimes / on certain exercises, not hating or trying to start an argument sorry if that’s how i’ve come across, just trying to get correct information out there..

    No argument! Just two different ways to go about the same thing. You’ll achieve results either way. In the end it’s what works out best for you because you have to know your own body/limits and also what you want to achieve.

    For sure man, it’s all a means to an end.

    Going to failure all the time and for every muscle isn’t good for you as it can cause long term damage if you’re not resting for long enough after and if you’re working muscles that cross over in movements. If you’ve having to rest 2-3 days to heal after each session, this is counter productive as you could of done 2-3 work outas in that time if you’d of just gone a bit easier.

    For things like rowing, it’s not so bad, but when heavy lifting, it can be dangerous, especially if you’re not used to it. There’s only certain exercises that I’d go to failure on myself. Things like dead lifts, squats etc. I wouldn’t as it’s so easy to fuck up your back if you’ve tired out them muscles and you try and lift heavy, and these are the exercises you’ll want to be doing to “bulk up” not so much things like isometrics, as these are more for toning specific parts of your body, rather then bulking up.

    What Daft says is true.

    Also if your going to failure on lets say an OHP, your triceps are going to be pretty munted, so when it comes to your bench thats going to suffer as well as many other things.
    The only thing I’d really go to failure on would be an iso exercise like curls but I’d do it after I’d done my heavy compounds so that my back doesn’t suffer (Most compounds w/ biceps in also use back)

    Also..

    HEAVY WEIGHTS WITH STRICT FORM > HIGH REPS.

    Would you believe it, this includes abs too? I’ll do my decline crunches with plates 12 times while you do 200000 body weight crunches and we’ll see who gets better abs, ‘nomsayin?

    fancy a bum?

    Of course technique and keeping form is most important as well as pushing your limits, that extra rep per session is truly what makes you bigger, I know a lot about working out in general. Obviously not everything but I go with a personal trainer who is my mate who answers all my questions.

    I do go to failure for every excercise although I can still work out maybe 2 days later on that muscle group since it needs recuperation, although I did deadlift for the first time a couple weeks ago… And my god! My back hurt for 3 days but loosened up after doing another gym session on full biceps.

    Informative thread. My brother’s into body enhancement. Along with hard workouts and a strict diet, he takes HGH.

    yeah see this is probably why you’re not bulking, as you’re not doing the compound lifts. Also you’re back shouldn’t really hurt after dead lifts as it’s mainly for your legs (although some back) … you might have your form wrong as it’s very easy to use your back muscles instead of driving down with your legs as you’re supposed to with dead lifts.
