well from what i heard, the more the muscle is used(back, legs, chest)the more percentage of white fibers you have in that muscle area compared to red. everyones different tho.
good video but it was absolutley not funny when you compared the pump with crack cocaine..drugs are garbadge and a pump is not like crack cocaine to my muscles dont even compare the too,do u like crack? u seem to have experience..anyways good video GET THE PUMP
4 sets of 8-12 and 1 set of 15? What a waste of time. You need to read some Mike Mentzer/Ellington Darden books for a more productive workout.
Train everything all the time…there is no one secret. One week focus on negatives 2 weeks later focus on maximum contractions 2 weeks later do a 3up and 3 down count…to grow you have to increase the weights and keep the muscles guessing and fuel the system with adequate proteins to synthesize.
My 1st grader writes better than that, but good info though
Great Info Mr Muscle Nerd !
when u train very hard (intensty) the endorfine level in ur blood will increas and its action is like opioed action humm how to tell u!! but in general (stimulant + anti depressent) so u can imagine that now ?
thx so much for the video.. really helpful
I haven´t found it conclusively accurate that active hypermia (the pump)fully diminishes 30 minutes after the workout. I find it is totally dependant upon eating. If you have high complex carb, some simple sugar, protein and enough fat to slow this all down during digestion so that it holds for more than a couple of hours. also the idea of counting reps is not productive only watching the muscle ceasing to work when it is at it´s maximum volume.
also there is a point at which you can actually over train and completely flatten the pump you had perviously acheived with other sets. this is torture for bodybuilders by the way. so again counting reps can have bad consequence if your full pump was acheived before you are officially done with your workout routine. always pay attention to your body as an individual. your body knows best.
it´s just a saying we are all sorry to offend those who are sensitive to the ideas of addiction and abuse.
it depends on the person a long distance runner will have tons of slow twitch in his legs and sprinter who is explosive will have more fast twitch. it is totally genetic and training related and with everything is totally based on an individuals body.
Good video!
but your kind of leaving out facts.
im only a third grader at highschool, But i know that slow twitch muscle fiber (type 1) have a smaller fiber diameter then fast twitch muscle fibers (specificly type 2B , which is the most explosive and have the largest fiberdiameter/IE size)
So when you say train type 1 muscle fiber which naturally is smaller than type 2B you are kind of contradicting yourself.
marathon runner = type 1 (slow twitch)
sprinter= type 2 (fast twitch) and so on.
I don’t need strength, I just want mass for my smaller arm (left, and its stronger)
great info…
have been doing low reps with heavu weights for approx. 2 years now and the result being that i am much stronger (not bigger) whereas my friends followed the ‘PUMP’ approach and have alot of body mass as a result but they cannot lift heavy weights very well..
So it does depend on your goal..
i now follow both by alternating w/out’s.. one dedicated to strength and then next session’s aim is to achieve the pump..
me too…. left arm smaller but can lift same weight more reps…. dammit……..
lol, i just work both arms because they both need to work in co-ordination, cos say you are lifting a extreamly heavy weight, you aint gonna use only one arm are ya? it’s worked for me so far……
he is rather skinny isnt he hahha
hahahah the pic at the top right corner of this video was taken from below to make himself look bigger!!! he purposely folds his arms in every pic!!! y? does he even go to bodybuilding competitions?? no, because hes a piece of crap, why would you take tips from him…listen to mike mentzer instead
hey dud ur onto something. Ive been using mike mentzer training program for 6-weeks and gained 4 kgs man. Mike mentzer just one intense set it really works whn u just do the weights slower and more controled instead of 4 sets like wat i use to do
@ukatam 100% correct! Mentzer is a genius.
hey musclenerd, what about the benefit of expanding the fascia during muscle pumps? thus allowing greater growth and less limitations
cant i pound my muscles with a 5-7 rep range then do a pump set at the end? So im stimulating both types of hypertrophy? Because im not sure if you grow when you only pump your muscles up
I think pyramiding would accomplish both, is this right? About the rest periods for size are less and strength building sets a little longer. This is a good refresher on basics, thanks
