Here’s an ELITE Leg Press video for y’all that shows PROPER execution Notice: - Continuous tempo - Controlled but not overly long eccentrics - Explosive concentrics - Excellent depth at the bottom - Low-Moderate rep range - Set taken in close proximity to failure TAKE NOTES!

If you want to actually train your Chest as efficiently/effectively as possible instead of WASTING YOUR TIME…. I’d recommend doing something like this each week: Upper A - Incline (Clavicular Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Pec Fly Machine x 2-3 Sets Upper B (Performed 3-4 days after Upper A) - Flat/Seated (Sternal Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Seated Low to High Cable Flys x 2-3 Sets This will result in you doing somewhere between 8-12 sets of direct Chest work per week Low likelihood you need any more volume than that to improve your Chest mightily if following the notes below: 1) The ideal rep range to be using when performing the exercises mentioned is the 5ish to 10ish rep range — Choose a weight you can do for 5, 6, 7 reps @ 0-2 RIR…once you can do that weight for 8, 9, 10ish reps, increase the load by 5ish pounds 2) You should perform all reps of all the listed exercises with a controlled (but not overly slow) eccentric and an explosive (but still controlled) concentric 3) You should perform these exercises very early in your workout to ensure they are as efficient/effective as possible — If you perform them later on, you will not get as robust a growth stimulus from the sets because of the outstanding fatigue that will be present from the earlier sets/exercises in your workout Additional notes: - You may sub any of these exercises for comparable exercises due to preferences and/or equipment availability — Ex: Flat/Seated Machine Press subbed for Flat Smith Machine Bench Press or Flat Barbell Bench Press - I probably forgot something that I should’ve mentioned…if I think of it I’ll drop it in the post below

Do you need to train heavy to build muscle? 💪 For years the mantra was you need to go heavy to build muscle. Or you needed to go heavy to stimulate large type II fast twitch fibers but go light for more reps to stimulate smaller type I fibers. But new research has challenged that dogma. Several meta-analysis have shown similar muscle growth with low loads vs high loads when set number is matched & proximity to failure is similar (PMIDs: 28834797, 35015560, 33312275, & 33433148). While muscle hypertrophy was not different between high and low load training, strength increased significantly more with high load training in all these meta-analysis As far as targeting fiber types, it becomes kind of irrelevant when you take an exercise close to failure because fiber types tend to be recruited in order from smallest to largest. So with high load training, small & large fibers get recruited quickly but you don’t do many reps. With low load training, you initially recruit smaller fibers but as the muscle fatigues it is forced to recruit the larger fibers as the exercise is taken close to failure. The net effect is that taking sets close to failure with high or low loads produces a lot of muscle activation and similar hypetrophy The take home is, do what you enjoy if muscle growth is the goal. Just make sure you train HARD & go close to failure (within a few reps) & do enough total sets. But if strength is a priority you’ll need to train heavy & be careful going to failure as it can impair strength gains From my first conversation with Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

Here’s my take on technique/form/finding the right weight to use for a given exercise: Let’s say you do a set of 8 reps and if we were to rate each rep on quality, the breakdown would be… Rep 1 - 10/10 Rep 2 - 10/10 Rep 3 - 10/10 Rep 4 - 10/10 Rep 5 - 10/10 Rep 6 - 10/10 Rep 7 - 9/10 Rep 8 - 8/10 That is a perfectly acceptable outcome It is an indication that you selected the right weight and did the set properly Now let’s say you do a set of 8 reps and if we were to rate each rep on quality, the breakdown would be… Rep 1 - 10/10 Rep 2 - 10/10 Rep 3 - 10/10 Rep 4 - 9/10 Rep 5 - 8/10 Rep 6 - 7/10 Rep 7 - 6/10 Rep 8 - 5/10 That is a surefire sign you need to reduce the load and pick a weight you can actually handle with better overall technique/form for the FULL DURATION of the set Some minor slippages in technique/form are probably going to happen in plenty of instances when you’re training hard/pushing yourself I’ve often said “your first rep should look very similar to your last rep sans concentric rep velocity” Very similar = it should be close enough Ultimately, there is FINE LINE between (A) pushing hard yet maintaining technique to the point that it could still be considered “pretty good” even when approaching/reaching failure and (B) pushing hard but letting technique fall by the wayside in the pursuit of continuing to move weight from point A to point B by any means necessary Example of elite technique from end to end:

Training to failure isn’t needed to max gains? Some people believe that you must take every set to failure in order to maximize muscle gains, but emerging literature suggests this may not be the case A new study examined training to failure vs stopping 1 to 2 reps shy of failure & found that the participants gained the same amount of muscle mass from both training styles There are several strengths to this study. First of all, they used a unilateral design where each participant was their own control by training one leg taking each set to failure and stopping 1-2 reps shy on the other. This helps negate any genetic induced differences since each person is acting as their own control Second, they matched training volumes to the participants previous volumes. This is a HUGE strength that is often overlooked in other studies Third, they used participants that were well trained (at least 3 years resistance training experience) Fourth, they had them all eat in a slight calorie surplus This adds to a growing body of literature demonstrating that training to absolute failure isn’t needed for gains & is likely counterproductive for optimal strength gains due to excess fatigue Interestingly, each group had no difference in total reps performed. That may seem strange when one group is going to failure but the other is stopping 1-2 reps shy. This can be explained by lower inter-set fatigue in the non failure group. For example if a failure group hits failure at 10 reps in set 1, they may only get 8 on the next set, and 6 on the next set. Whereas they might have been able to do 8 reps every set if they didn’t go to all out failure. As such, if you do train to failure I recommend only going to failure on your very last set of an exercise If you want to know how to implement this sort of programming make sure you check out the Biolayne Workoit Builder to get access to all my evidence based programs to help you get strong AF & build muscle 👊
