you really need to work legs more bro...at least twice a week minimum.

you overthinking it...eeach day is different.try to change your workouts because after 3-4 weeks your body adapts. There is no reason to write bench press, barbell bend over etc. instead try to include different movements in your daily routine, For example, deadlift with biceps and triceps is a good variation. chest and triceps,biceps and back, legs alone;),biceps triceps,shoulders traps, I mean try to change your workout routine.You will notice great difference. In essense do different type of workouts not only focusing on one muscle.Try to include deadlifts and squats a smuch as you can because they elevate your hormone levels and make you stronger. Never layout exercises,is the wrong approach for me

No point in continuously changing workouts etc... How does one know if it's working if you keep switching it up? I'd say plan yourself a workout and stick to it. If say for example Monday is Chest day, then try adding in some variation, one week doing some chest flys and the next week doing dumbbell Press etc... While using Flat barbell Press as a staple for your workout.

It depends how experienced you are in the gym. If you are training for 2-3 years you can’t understand what I am sayiing.if you are using steroids you also can’t understand what I am saying. Lifting weights is basically an adaptation to stress. If you keep doing the same exercises with the same order for a certain amount of time, it becomes more difficult to stimulate the muscles. at my first 3 years of training I was training 1 muscleper day like you but after 3 years it became more difficult not only to build muscle but to get that good burn. Is all about that stress nothing else.... at least 12-15 reps per exercise. 30-45s ret between sets

I remember you. I thought you were studying exercise science. Why are you pushing the myth of “hypertrophy rep range” and short rest intervals when you know perfectly well through your studies that it’s bullshit? Weren’t you working on a doctoral dissertation or something when last we communicated? Surely you’ve seen the exact same same controlled studies I have that have thoroughly debunked the rep range hypothesis and concluded that longer rest intervals are markedly superior for hypertrophy. So… I guess I’m just confused why you’re pushing blatant broscience when you know better.

Not hating, just honestly curious what changed.

Get serious dude. Your making stories by yourself. Post a comment that I said rest less between sets is not good for hypertrophy which is actually stupid even for discussion. everyone trains like this since the stoneage. Believe me your not training different from anyone else because if you had you wouldn’t be in this weight with 10 cycles.... and this is just a fact.quys like you are all day spend their time in the forums trying to “expose” people on every word they are saying.you get frustated, trying to go back find stuff about people,fake pics,fake stats and tons of other bullshit which are irelevant with your goals as a person. Your ironic comment serves no purpose, I don’t need self assurance from people on how I look or on my training ideas. Just take it or leave it.... I don’t give a fuck.it’s not my job to pick the valuable information for you

What on earth are you talking about? I was nothing but respectful towards you and asked an honest question. Your reply was rude and profane. That’s not necessary. We’re adults here. Let’s please act like it.

Post a comment that I said rest less between sets is not good for hypertrophy

That would be a valid request if I made such a claim that you had said that. As it happens, I have not. I merely disagreed with your advice to rest only 30-45 seconds between sets, which science has found is not the best method to train for either strength or hypertrophy. Luckily we are no longer in the Stone Age, and have luxuries such as modern medicine, fossil fuel transportation, and oh, scientific studies regarding exercise science that are conveniently public domain. Such as this one:

Abstract
Strength training has become one of the most popular physical activities for increasing characteristics such as absolute muscular strength, endurance, hypertrophy and muscular power. For efficient, safe and effective training, it is of utmost importance to understand the interaction among training variables, which might include the intensity, number of sets, rest interval between sets, exercise modality and velocity of muscle action. Research has indicated that the rest interval between sets is an important variable that affects both acute responses and chronic adaptations to resistance exercise programmes. The purpose of this review is to analyse and discuss the rest interval between sets for targeting specific training outcomes (e.g. absolute muscular strength, endurance, hypertrophy and muscular power). The Scielo, Science Citation Index, National Library of Medicine, MEDLINE, Scopus, Sport Discus and CINAHL databases were used to locate previous original scientific investigations. The 35 studies reviewed examined both acute responses and chronic adaptations, with rest interval length as the experimental variable. In terms of acute responses, a key finding was that when training with loads between 50% and 90% of one repetition maximum, 3-5 minutes' rest between sets allowed for greater repetitions over multiple sets. Furthermore, in terms of chronic adaptations, resting 3-5 minutes between sets produced greater increases in absolute strength, due to higher intensities and volumes of training. Similarly, higher levels of muscular power were demonstrated over multiple sets with 3 or 5 minutes versus 1 minute of rest between sets. Conversely, some experiments have demonstrated that when testing maximal strength, 1-minute rest intervals might be sufficient between repeated attempts; however, from a psychological and physiological standpoint, the inclusion of 3- to 5-minute rest intervals might be safer and more reliable. When the training goal is muscular hypertrophy, the combination of moderate-intensity sets with short rest intervals of 30-60 seconds might be most effective due to greater acute levels of growth hormone during such workouts. Finally, the research on rest interval length in relation to chronic muscular endurance adaptations is less clear. Training with short rest intervals (e.g. 20 seconds to 1 minute) resulted in higher repetition velocities during repeated submaximal muscle actions and also greater total torque during a high-intensity cycle test. Both of these findings indirectly demonstrated the benefits of utilizing short rest intervals for gains in muscular endurance. In summary, the rest interval between sets is an important variable that should receive more attention in resistance exercise prescription. When prescribed appropriately with other important prescriptive variables (i.e. volume and intensity), the amount of rest between sets can influence the efficiency, safety and ultimate effectiveness of a strength training programme.

It’s not my job to gather valuable information for you, either, yet I do so because I genuinely want to give the best information possible and help people. But, unfortunately, you showed your age on that last post and clearly have no intention of having an adult discussion. I’m afraid we’re at an impasse; I’m interested in science, you’re interested in drama. Ergo I must find myself, in the parlance, chucking deuces. G’day.

"Why are you pushing the myth of “hypertrophy rep range” and short rest intervals when you know perfectly well through your studies that it’s bullshit?" translates into the exact same thing, I posted. You were nothing but respectful. At least admit your irony and don't try to roll around it. Also, I've never said that rest 30-40s is the only way to induce hypertrophy..it depends on the individual. It also depends on the type of exercises and the equipment used. Machines require less rest and heavy movements longer rest. I am not going to rest 30s when I deadlift,squatting etc, but normally I rest 30s sometimes less. If you use steroids because you get better blood flow into the muscles,rest less between sets will help you grow faster and burn easier fat. 3-5 min rest interval for me is way too much, it makes my workouts useless. You have to go back and realize that am not the one who started a conversation without meaning. Just say I disagreee because of that bab bab bab...finish. Dont try to say something through irony....and if you believe it wasn't irony you have to go back and read again your comment and pretend it was me who wrote it.

Making me confused now :-)

But if include ez. Deadlifts with biceps on Friday, we'd same week already did Deadlifts with back and ends up doing deadlifts twice

But not always the same, like when I said OR, means WK 1 I perform exercise and WK 2
I include the other.

I try to keep one muscle workout a day to be more strong instead of make ez. Chest, bi, tri in one day

All I wanted to say is that you have to change your workouts. Don’t stack to the common 1 muscle per day regemen. I gave you some examples but it doesn’t have to be like this. Your body knows better which muscle group needs stimulation. Try to listen your body and not writing down exercises. It serves no purpose
