Not much of a difference if it's close to failure. You'll get vaguely less strength gained at the 12 rep range but it's pretty negligible.

This podcast is goated and this episode in particular dives deep into the differences between hypertrophy, strength, and endurance gains. What they say is cutting edge and backed by science, no ifs ands or buts.

Thanks gonna peep this now.

ppl do this s*** just for the gram likes lmao

Here's a written summary of this podcast

podcastnotes.org/huberman-lab/episode-65-dr-andy-galpin-how-to-build-strength-muscle-size-endurance-huberman-lab

Just saw dude in gym deadlift 405 for reps without a belt, now I don't want to cut now

Was doing squats on hack squad machine and when I was squatting down something popped in my inner right thigh and followed by sharp pain, couldn’t even get it back up, had to almost crawl out the machine lol

Thought it would go away after a while but I legit couldn’t do anything else anymore, tried doing quad extensions on the lowest weight and couldn’t even do that, was so pissed that I had to end the work out

Tried doing some lat pull downs but my left bicep keep hurting and hasn’t healed and it’s been like 2 months already

S*** got me depressed that I’m already barely working out because I’m really busy rn and I’m getting hurt and bicep not healing

Ultimately workout A is slightly more intense, it works out to a higher one rep max.

However tons of reps may make you out of breath before your muscles are fatigued.

So do whatever you like best, the one rep max difference is like -12lbs on workout B so nothing to worry about.

But I will say stalling on something for the time being on higher reps isn't a mentally shocking and distressing as stalling on a lift with lower reps.

That's just me though

I’m afraid TikTok fitness will lead to a lot of destroyed lives in the future because of how prevalent gear is on it and how it has manipulated people to seek for attention like nothing else before

Low reps and big weight with longer pauses for strength-focused training
More reps and lower weight with shorter pauses for bodybuilding-focused training

i operate on low calories but even this is wild. How tall are you mate?

Its 1500-1600 caloric intake not deficit i miss-word that, cause i got low muscle mass i guess

Aaah got ya

Didnt go gym for 4 days and never felt weaker

Pre workout addiction is a b**** lol dont like the side effects but damn im killing s*** when im on it

Anyone in thread deal with a shoulder injury and got tips? Have a torn labrum in my shoulder and I can’t really do overhead lifts anymore

yeah bro had the same injury, got a shoulder reconstruction, and then partially f***ed it again

are you seeing a physio? you should, then work through the exercises they give you, mostly band resistance stuff

problem with the labrum and most shoulder capsule injuries is they dont heal without surgical intervention so you can only get so far doing the above, when did the injury happen? also depends on how bad it is, have you had an MRI or seen a specialist?

with an unstable shoulder you want to avoid anything "behind" your head like skullcrushers and i also do seated db press instead of OHP (more control using the dbs and can angle forward a fraction). definitely dont do dips.

everyone on the planet should be doing lateral raises, front raises may also be beneficial for strengthening your shoulder

go see a dr

25 minute morning jog and light workout feeling great

Delayed coughing last nights spliff

You put me onto seitan in the vegan thread man. I saw you made it and had to try it, helped me get my protein in on this cut that I'm almost finished with. Appreciate you

Ok so it happened in like November 2020, and I went to see a sports doc who referred me to a PT

Did that for a few months and got on a resistance band regiment but I moved apartments and stopped going

I remember the doc saying that surgery would be the next step if PT didn’t work out, what was that experience like for you?

it was pretty smooth, being in a sling for 6 weeks was annoying but manageable, and then it's like 4-6 months of rehab which is easy just super boring

this was before i was going to the gym, but i was returning to sport (reason for the surgery)

tbh if it's an injury that doesn't hamper you much outside of the gym idk if surgery is worth it, if quality of life is unaffected and you're not gunning to play a sport I'd be inclined to just work around it

cost wasn't a factor to me but it might be to you depending on your country of residence and personal financial situation... and if you need to take time off work etc.

best to confirm with a doctor what it means long term, you dont want to get f***ed by arthritis or something similar

sounds like you need an MRI at least to assess how bad the tear is as a starting point

Pull ups and chin ups getting easier by the week avy status soon
