Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Spliff]

What is the magical number/threshold to distinguish the rep ranges between high and low volume? Is it subjective?

It's not the rep ranges in that routine that's the problem. 6-8 reps tends to be ~80% of max effort which is where muscle fiber recruitment maxes out. Pretty standard.

The frequency along the intensity required for strict 6-8 reps + rest/pauses and drop sets will burn you out fairly quick

Pay attention to how often the shoulder gets hit when looking for routines. Rotator cuff stabilizes in every direction. It's important to give it a rest.

"The number one mistake by natural lifters is doing too much volume. "

*proceeds to outline a routine with high volume*

Completely ignore CNS recovery, brehs.

Yeah I'm not a fan of that routine at all. I roll with a few basic movements.

Used to despise doing arm workout and now I'm lowkey starting to love it...I've been seeing good results. My biceps are near equal strength now and it takes me longer to get arm fatigue on back exercises. My right tricep is still noticeable smaller and weaker though and I can feel the difference on my right side when I bench.
