Yes i see what you mean about deloading and doing more reps and building back up again maybe putting in same dbs on the bench or swopping between the the bar and dbs . As for the journal id think that would be a good idea as we are all in the same boat on this forum to build muscule well try lol Thanks for your advice

You are welcome mate.

IMO, I feel 8-12 rep range will give you the biggest muscles.
But I will do 5 reps on maybe my first exercise and then do 8-12 on the next exercise so I cover all my bases. Hell many times I will do a set of 20 reps to finish off.

i do the same though

i find my weight of which the 10th rep is abit of a struggle then i up it 2.5kg for 8 reps then up it another 2.5 for 6 reps then another 2.5 until fail, which is normally about 4 or 5 reps

That is funny.

Tried a set of 21's for bicep curl today

7 reps just using lower half of range leading into 7 reps top half of range leading into 7 full reps. Felt like a screwdriver had been driven through each bicep by the end of the set. Knowhere near as difficult as 20 rep squats but still a good painfull shock for the biceps.

Both bench and dips are coupound movements, the flys and pushdowns are not.

agreed we do pullovers for triceps followed by dips-never pushdowns etc-and arms are acheing next few days -sore to straighten arm

**hackskii** · 09-04-2008, 01:40 AM

Well, dips are a compound exercise and tricep pushdowns are an isolation exercise....
No guess to which one I prefere....

I prefer porn, but that's just me. :jerk:

IMO there are no rules for reps building size.

As long as you give progressive resistance and workout capacity you will grow.
