This subreddit aims to further your knowledge of training, nutrition, and all things bodybuilding without the use of PEDs. No pictures of food or meals (except nutrition day thread if you want).

Exceptions may be made for competition posts but still more detail is very much appreciated.ģ) Beginner/simple questions can be asked in the weekly beginner question thread or the weekly question thread. Use /r/ProgressPics or similar sub if you just want to post a pic. This allows progress posts to help others and do more than inflate your own ego. Include details of your training age, training style, height, weight, and other relevant factors. This helps us to keep spam down.Ģ) NO PICTURE POSTS!!! All progress posts should be text posts. If you have a question please find an appropriate discussion thread instead of making a separate post.ġ) No posts from your own youtube, social media, or blog, no matter how high quality it is.

This means you'll perform as many reps with a certain weight as it would take to tire you enough that you'd only be able to complete a few more before failure. You can also reap some of these benefits without totally gassing yourself, however, which is why in other instances, coaches recommend "leaving reps in the tank" during your workouts. Training until failure is thought of as a tried-and-true method for kickstarting the process that builds muscle, hypertrophy, and pushing your body to adapt to new challenges (that's the principle behind progressive overload). That's not only the case for when you're planning to max out on big lifts like bench presses, squats, and deadlifts-finishing off other exercises by performing reps until you can't do any more is also commonly encouraged by strength coaches.īut performing reps until failure isn't just to make you exhausted for the sake of feeling like you worked really hard.
