Not OP but I read it. It's stupid, they compare sets of 12 to sets of 20-30. So basically they invalidated their own argument by using what we would consider "high reps" as their baseline for "low reps".

>no hypertrophy in 20-28
A poignant message about the immense difficulty in controlling for volume at such high reps.

But that isnt to say you dont build muscle with a 28rm, as schoenfeld 2015 displays

Look at schoenfeld 2014 to see the comparison of 2-4 reps to 8-12 (same volume = same growth)

Then look at his 2015 study to see 8-12 vs 25-35

I read the article and the conclusion to the study (I ain't reading all that nerd shit) and the conclusion is that muscle failure lead to muscle growth, regardless of rep range. Muscle hypertrophy was the same in both groups. Leg press 1RM was the same in both groups, while the low rep group achieved a higher bench press 1RM.

Also in this article: strengtheory.com/hypertrophy-range-stats-adjustments/ Greg Nuckols did a meta analysis of several studies regarding the same topic. And basically, it was a toss up between rep ranges.

TL;DR: If the exercise is hard, you're gonna make gains. Do both low and high reps.

>implying my body can count reps and not the amount of stress via the weight it has to push

Tfw I can lift my pencil and leave humanity behind

Whatever you do will work guys, just remember to never ever, EVER, do 7 reps

>do 7 reps
>workout is wasted

>tfw liberal science can't even leave lifting weights at the gym alone

>strong men intimidate me, please do not lift heavy things

Thank you based reminder

Then how come you're still DYEL with those pussy ass weights you're pushing round?

Yeah, I think this is well summed up. If you're working hard you're doing well.

This. I had to do touch-up sets to get past that stupid 7 reps. All those fucking wasted sets.

>accidentally did 7 reps yesterday
>woke up next morning a skinny fat dyel

Anyone got that graph that explains this?

HOLY SHIT!!!

THIS IS VERY GOOD NEWS!

..for faggots like me anyways.

See i just got diagnosed with a hernia, and until treatment starts (or rather, ends) i am not supposed to lift.

Fuck that.

I am gonna lift some babyweights.

How many reps of 65lb on ohp would equate to 5 reps of 135lb?

I wanna maintain my shoulder gains...

Also, how necessary is going to failure? I feel like that level of exertion could fuck my hernia up, even with the lightwst of weights

Does this mean I'll get stronger and build more lean muscle mass if I do low reps high weights?

Ok.. So setsxrepsxweight is total volume, right?

135 x 5 = 675
45 x 15 = 675

..is 15 reps of the empty bar really equivocal to pressing 1pl8x5 reps?

Because i just did the empty bar for 25 reps and that was WAAAY easier to do than 135x5

..will i truly build more muscle this way?

Yes, except it will be harder to get a large amount of volume in with high intensity sets only, as i understand it.

According to the study muscle failure was what lead to muscle growth, regardless of rep range. I'd still be real careful when it comes to a hernia especially when it comes to exercises that involve intra-abdominal pressure. So maybe do seated shoulder press instead of standing, and also do some other high rep shoulder isolation work.

And you won't build MORE muscle in a certain rep range, you can just build AS much muscle with low reps and you can with high reps.

assuming this is the article being discussed:

sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/07/160712094259.htm

The researchers used 20-25 reps for the light lifts at ~50% 1RM

The thing is for the heavy lifting they had the subjects do 8-12 reps per set at 90% 1RM.

So I think they mis-defined heavy because I can't see how anyone can do a 12 week routine with all of their sets being 8-12 reps at 90% 1RM. Assuming they're on a set rest time and execute the lifts with appropriate form

so take the study with a grain of salt guys

>not being able to do multiple reps of your 1rm
Dyel?

Fuck man.

I guess i will just cut to anorexiamode, then explode with gains when i lift again

Are you getting it surgically repaired

Most likely.

I have an appointment tomorrow to go over test results and discuss treatment options, but i was told surgery is the go to treatment 90% of the time.

Got my surgery 6 months ago , good luck user
>pic related

It's either surgery or do the alternative treatment that takes years to heal your hernia. Any smart person would just get the surgery done and over with.

That was my fear

How long after surgery till you could lift again?

Beat me to it, a good summary article of multiple studies that actually looks into this broscience idea rather than some click bait bullshit article OP gave

Godspeed Herniabrah, I hope everything goes well for you

>mirin dem trips too

One month until I could lift heavy

Shiieet that aint so bad.

Ill just get the surgey asap and lose on month of gains.

Thanks for your help, fellow herniabro

The scar gets sore when I squat heavy tho
