How much do you >the press™ Veeky Forums and how frequently do you do it?

>Trying to help
But again, you knew nothing of the context that the sets/reps are performed. I appreciate you looking out for it, but under the circumstances, you weren't in a position to offer advice. Best keep your mouth closed.

Also work ohp 3x a week right after bench lel

I'm getting sick of your shit, where the fuck do you live? I'm honestly going to kick your ass if you live anywhere in the bay area.

>high volume
>5x5

pick one

autism the post

>3x8 is somehow more volume than 5x5

I just don't understand how you guys can see one tiny piece of information and feel like you can give solid advice to somebody that you know nothing about.

Again, that's one lift. You don't know what other exercises are being performed. It very well could be high volume for delts if you're also doing lighter back off sets, bench, delt raises, etc.

Dude don't be a dick, he was just trying to help

Never

Two times a week and today i did 62.5kgx4

Calling 3x8 volume compared to 5x5 is flat out wrong though. 5x5 you have an extra rep and are moving more weight with each rep. More reps + more weight = more volume

Don't do 3x8, I do 5x5 low bar squat then do 75-80% of my 5x5 weight for 4x10 high bar squats.

I press every 5 days but alternate between barbell and db press.

barbell - 3 x 8, 47.5kg
db - 3 x 8, 17.5kg / db

Is it normal for the difference between barbell and dumbbell weights to be that big? I understand there is a lot more stabilization going on with dumbbells, but 35kg VS 47.5kg seems kind of excessive.

In terms of shoulder accessories, I do lateral and front raises. Rear deltoids I work on back day.

Assuming he is this guy He was comparing 5x5 and 3x5. 5x5 for volume, 3x5 for tension.

two times a week, 45 kgs. Goddamn I'm weak

Hey guys, been lifting regularly for about a year.

I started as a skelly, 69kg at 180cm. I am now 78kg.

I'd like to talk today about chest VS shoulder gains. Ten months ago, my bench was 62.5kg (3 x 8) and my OHP was 32.5kg (3 x 8).

Today, my bench is 75kg (3 x 8) and my OHP is 47.5kg (3 x 8). So, while OHP has progressed over 50%, bench has only progressed like 15%.

I have basically the same routine for both - 3 x 8 of the main lift and then one or two accessories. Any idea why this has worked so well for shoulders but poorly for bench? I work both muscle groups every 5 days.

Thats retard advive. Heavy 5×5 with a lighter 3x8 would be way easier to recover from than 5x5 and 3x5. Youd just fatigue yourself and burnout sooner with the latter.

Weight is actually intensity.

So 5x5 would typically be both higher volume and higher intensity than 3x8.

will you fucking retards stop arguing about your retarded lifting semantics

There are different definitions of intensity.

Weight on the bar and effort (reps of your X rep max).

5 reps of your 5 RM is 100% intensity, while 8 reps of your 8 RM is still 100% intensity.

Weight on the bar is tension intensity.

don't you EVER reply to me again

Why not?

I reached 1pl8 at the end of SS, switched to PPL 1 week ago, now my OHP comes between BP and incline BP so i'm back to doing 3x5x40kg

because your post doesnt end in dubs when my OCD only lets get post in dubs

I OHP 190lbs. Do it scheduled once per week, but throw it in if I feel like doing them other days too.

Because of your severe autism I'll assume you are estatting as well.

Isn't it more autistic to offer advice without a frame of reference, because you think you know more about whats best for the person without any information?

Kek at this dyel keyboard warrior virgin

I don't know why you're getting dumped on, user. Everything you pointed out was true. Guy was talking out of his ass and offered unsolicited advice.

42.5 kg lmao

I never do it because it hurts my shoulders. I use 17.5kg dumbbells instead.

76lbs
SS, 1.5x a week
I feel like upper body progression isn't for me.

Too much reddit here now. No one was this sensitive before normies invaded

1pl8 5x5, normally twice a week. It is literally my only lift with a "Good weight" =(

San Rafael motherfuck, let's do this shit if you're not a pussy

I think I've done 75kgx5. could have been 73kgx5, I would have to check my log

I don't OHP but I do pressing workouts 2-3 times a week
I usually favor handstand pushup progressions over OHP
I can do 4x4 with 4 inch blocks under my hands now, I want to work up into doing them off a bench or with blocks as tall as my head

about 1 plate, finally back again

I weigh 151lbs

I do OHP once a week, with rear delt raises as an accessory on another day

My shoulders were always a prominent feature

same actually, except I do 5x5

You'd probably make better progress if you did 5x5 for volume and 3x5 for as heavy as you can.

160 lbs
1ce 5x5 per week but i also do one set of 135 amrap every day.

>squatting 3pl8 for reps
>The press™ 120lbs for single

why?

100kg 1rm, do it twice a week after benching, took me about a year from 60kg, pretty much my favorite lift, I weigh 110kg btw

In Castro. It's on bitch. Meet me in The Powerhouse bathroom at 4:00

Are you guys gunna fuck?

>its /fit
You guys are gunna fuck

OHP: 65kg (143lbs) for 5 reps
Flat Bench: 85kg (187lbs) for 5 reps

Why is my bench so shit Veeky Forums

Once a week.

I constantly float between 60kg - 72.5kg for 2-5 reps. The stalling on OHP is the worst though.

I'm going to do BBB or Mad Cow to try get it higher for next year. Ideally Ill get to 2 plate and leave it at that. Anything higher and frankly I think i'll just hurt myself.

hit a bodyweight press at 175#, have since gained some weight and hit a 180 press. I press once per week for volume (5x5) and do seated shoulder press as accessory

>thinking rep ranges matter
this is the fastest way to tell if someone doesn't actually lift. as long as you're doing between 3 and 7 working sets and between 1 and 15 reps it doesn't really matter.

edit: my 5 rep max is 155, 3 RM is 165

>bay area
faggot detected

You must be doing something wrong

2x weekly
165 lbs for 5x10
>tfw just got injured and will have to take time off

Rep ranges do matter to the extent that different fibers are recruited and you can optimize your routine for specific goals based on the intensity.

>broscience: the post
Sure there will be minor differences but in the end doing 10 reps won't increase your overall hypertrophy by an appreciable amount over doing 5, and doing 5 won't increase your strength much more than doing 10

This is what a dyel actually believes.

this is dumb because you were clearly the overly sensitive one, fuck man... the shear disassociation.

>You don't know my specific goals, you don't know what type of progress I have been making, and you don't know my personal routine or day to day. Why would you talk out of your ass like that?

translation: YOU DONT KNOW ME

boo fucking hoo its an anonymous board grow up

have you actually changed up your rep ranges before? I have, and the gains were the same either way as long as the frequency was the same

>what are beginner gains

>implying
I've been lifting for over five years, rep ranges don't matter. stop subscribing to and perpetuating this broscience. there's literally nothing to back it up.

I assume he meant 4am so ya of course they're gonna fug

>F-FUCK YOU WHAT ARE YOU A FITNESS GENIUS I JUST WANTED TO HELP, B-BAKA!

Nah, you all carried on like little bitches when he said, "thanks, but no thanks."

>autism

So using heavy weights in a moderate rep range is the same as light weights in a high rep range for strength and growth? Endurance training recruits the same type 2 fibers from the beginning of the set as a heavier tension, which has no impact on overall hypertrophy or strength? The same neural components of strength are generated with a 15 rep set as they are for a 5 rep set?

precisely, you're overthinking your training. you can read as much literature on training as you want, but unless you are an elite strength athlete who trains for 6 hours per day, doing sets of 5 will give you pretty much the same results as doing sets of 15.

A tad roasty aint it, toasty?

Where do you think you are?

>pulling advice out of my ass the post

You keep sounding like a dyel.

You're fucking retarded. There are plenty of studies done that show lower reps are better for power and strength (depending on speed) and higher reps for hypertrophy.
>what are type 1 and type 2 a & b muscle fibers
I can't believe you actually believe this shit you're spouting. And now you have some other guy believing.

This was modified for 6+7 rep meme but still

Can you share a pastebin with all those links kind user?

80 kg x2 @ 76kg

>higher reps for hypertrophy

These studies seem to disagree

>I don't understand that volume drives progress: the post

>Training Level of Population
Where's that column?

you're missing the point completely. there are probably just as many "studies" showing the opposite is true. things as specific as rep ranges are difficult to study scientifically because there are so many external factors. the fact remains that as a casual (i.e. not professional) lifter, as long as your rep ranges and volume are reasonable, the difference between high reps and low reps is going to be negligible.

So somebody exclusively training exercises at 15 reps will make the same gains in terms of muscle size and strength as somebody training 5-10?

You sound retarded as fuck.

have you tried it? I have, and the gains are comparable. just because some bros on the internet told you 5-10 reps gives you "better" gains than 15 doesn't make it true.

Every other work out, and I do weight training 3 times a week. I can hit 195lbs for a triple. I was hoping I'd be able to hit 225 for 5 before I had to switch to a more intermediate/advanced progression, but I'm not sure I'll make it.

Once a week on shoulder day, 165 3x5. Can't break into 170 lately because I'm having trouble being fat as shit. 195 bw for reference

You'd probably make better progress if you did 5x5 for volume and 3x5 for as heavy as you can.

You don't know my specific goals, you don't know what type of progress I have been making, and you don't know my personal routine or day to day. Why would you talk out of your ass like that?

Usually hit OHP 2x a week. Best I've hit was 120lb for a set of 3.

I just can't get past the 115/120lb barrier. It's like I hit a point where the first half of a set is fine, but the second half my back starts to bend, can't get the weight up, etc.

Normally train 3x5.

I deloaded from 115 to 105 at 3x5, brought it back up to 115, still got smoked at 120.

Spent two weeks training at 115, now I've deloaded back to 105 and I'm going 3x8. Feels like blasting volume is the only way to go about this, but those sets of 8 are hard.

Any tips for breaking a OHP plateau?

I've found that squatting and front squatting have helped with stability for OHP. You focus less on holding the weight and more on pushing it up.
You could try a few push presses to get used to heaviery weights too.

Twice a week, one heavy set one volume set.

140x3x5
100x3x12

As of last week, tomorrow is the first heavy day of the week.

Why is his stance and arm placement so wide.

if you can micro plate it might help.

I can do 90 lbs, obvious skelly

I press 2-3 times per week, I started making progress when I started eating
