THT (G1 : W5 - Friday)

Add Comment , , , , Edit

Holy crap I felt good today. I read an article about some advanced bodybuilding techniques and realized I've been approaching this program incorrectly. I've been stopping at 12 even if I'm just shy of failure, and that's not the optimal way to build muscle. 8-12 is the sweet spot for growth, but if I can squeeze out an extra couple of reps that's going to help me grow moreso than just sticking to the numbers religiously. I can just increase weight the next set if need be. Failure is the name of the game.

 I'm also going to try and fail sooner with lower weight on the chest and back exercises by going a bit slower. I don't want these shoulder issues I've been having to get out of control, and that's what's going to happen if I keep packing on the plates. I'm also adding an extra couple of sets of abs on Monday and Friday because one set for my entire core just isn't cutting it.
