-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 i actually tell my friends, who are looking to get muscular, to ditch the low rep routines for 8-12 rep ones, with slow controlled movements. time under tension nets the best muscular results. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its pure eccentric exercises with a focus on hypertrophy including having practically no rest breaks between moves. It kills me but I always feel like I got a hell of a workout afterwards. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the mass schedule (the one i've been doing) has 2x upper body and 2x lower body workouts a week, and I actually haven't been able to complete a full week yet I knock out the 2 upper body workouts and 1 leg one, but my lower body always takes a bigger hit and I feel too sore to do the 2nd leg day. I think being so sedentary makes it harder to recover after doing legs. Also probably doesn't help that im trying to bulk so I always skip cardio. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even if he does use fake weights for demonstration purposes I don't see why that matters at all. Not every fitness youtuber needs to lift big when showing people good form, technique, etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Yeah, the fake weight thing didn’t bother me. These guys do a lot of takes when making their vids, so I gave it a pass. Jeff knows his stuff. Shit, he worked with the NY Mets. I fixed a trapezius issue with one of his rehab techniques. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
