I know that alot of power training gives you the hardened look so i was thinking about doing 1-3 rep sets on my thigh exercise with lots of weight. I realize my leg size might go up slightly but that isn't a big problem.


thanks a lot

Training in the 1-5 rep range is for power lifting and Olympic weight lifting. The idea that 3 reps makes the muscle look dense and hard and 12 reps makes you soft is another silly myth. All you need is to keep your body fat low and develop good muscle size. Reps from 6-12 are best IMO, but you can do low reps occasionally as well as high 20+ reps.

Thanks Drew, I can be difficult at times but to be honest it is just with one group ( one person) on this Forum. As a RN student I take offense to those who give advise without and respect to science, and who give out dangerous advise when it comes to black market steroids.

Lol. I liked your post replying to the 14 year old who thinks his overtraining is helpful.

dont do too many sets with reps that low, and be sure to warm up reallllllly well first, otherwise youre asking for an injury,

Your rep range used in resistance training is going to have virtually no effect on how cut you are. You have to simply start counting calories and reduce your daily intake to lose some body fat throughout. To get truly ripped, it requires a lot of dedication.

The only thing I can suggest is that you increase your rep range and start doing some circuit training. This will turn your workouts into a cardio-like affair that will lead to a greater boost in your metabolism.

You could also start implementing more cardio into your routine. Try sprinting or HIIT cardio if you dislike jogging. Either one is highly effective at boosting your metabolism.

you are such a hyprocrite as 99% of your posts lack any scientific backing. at least you don't post in the Anbaolic section anymore with your 1960 steroid cycle information.
