AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I SWEAR TO GOD I HATE MYSELF.

I JUST FUCKING WENT TO THE GYM AND ALMOST DID 3 SETS OF 10 ON THE BENCH BUT PUSSED OUT AT THE LAST ONE.

I THEN HIT MYSELF ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD, I FUCKING DESERVE THAT FOR BEING SUCH A PUSSY.

I'm not a gain fag I just want strength but I fucking can't do more than 30, I just got back to working out a week ago. I fucking hate myself for that. Everytime I workout I feel sore.

>Inb4 that's good.

How do I regain my strength/get stronger?

If the answer is just straight up steroids tell me now and I'll just do thay because fuck I'm mad.

I'll also post this on 32chan and see what they say.

My problem is strength.

All I get is gains ironically.

How much are you lifting? You should do less reps but more weight.

You're supposed to do more reps with less weight.

That only works with small muscles like the biceps or if you are a roiding faggot.

3 x 5 at 70%

Then a 4 set as many reps as possible.

If more than 8 up the weight.

If less than 8 down load.

Repeat until strong.

Support your claims because I need a straight answer.

I've heard weight>reps helps but I'm not sure.

What do you mean 4 set, I'll try moving up by 5 daily but then what

Nigger, they're practically the same. How the fuck do you think you tell when it's time to lift heavier stuff? Just, one method is more of a strain on the cardiovascular system than the muscular system, and vice versa.

You do both >>125466

It's not a binary choice. You can do a gorillion reps at 20lbs but it won't get you anywhere, just like you can only do one set of 1RM every other day and you won't progress. Higher reps bring fatigue into the picture, which is why 1-5 rep sets are utilized. 8x3 at a higher weight may get you further than 3x8 at a lower weight, but it will take significantly longer to do. Pick your tradeoffs.

The flexing and tension in the muscles is what makes you bigger and stronger. Just do isometrics.

Can you either dumb that down or smart it up? I can't tell whether I'm reading something serious or something seriously stupid.

Food makes you bigger, lifting makes you stronger.

You fuckers aren't arguing anything of value. Just work hard and the rep range will be of little difference.

Chill the fuck out.

Spend 2 weeks doing isometrics, handstands, horse stance, plank, planche progressions, lever progressions, v sit progressions, general gymnastic progressions. 20 minutes of cardio. 5 days a week. Imagine you're a tree growing every day.

Focus on high rep ranges, volume for a while (3x50-100), say, 2 weeks. Also, full body. All the compound lifts, volume train, superset. Do cardio too. 40 minutes of cardio. 6 days a week. Imagine you're a sun growing every day.

After 2 weeks, do 2 weeks of 6x3 with a weight you can move quickly and explosively. 5 days a week. 30 minutes of cardio. Make sure to do power clean and jerks, box jumps, plyometrics (explosive athletics; clap push ups, jump variations, agility work, sprints, etc; strength + speed). Shadow kickbox, or hit the bag for cardio. Imagine you're an explosion growing every day.

Then, 1 month of standard strength training. 5x5. 4 days a week. No 3 days in a row. Test your maxes before you start the month. Body building accessories at 3x15 after the compound movements. Alternate [Bench, Squat, Pull ups]/[OHP, Deadlift, Row], and do a "shadow workout" of the one you did the day before, performing a light warm-up of each main exercise you did just to boost recovery (for instance, if you're ABXABXX, you would do a light version of A on B, and B on X). 40 minutes of cardio. Imagine you're an iron titan growing every day.

Then, do 2 weeks of a Push/Pull/Legs hypertrophy split, 6 days a week; 3x12 generally. 50 minutes of cardio. Imagine you're a mountain growing every day.

Repeat. Add more cardio and mobility as you cycle through this, until you reach 2 hours of cardio (fuck you do cardio faggot) and 30 minutes of stretching. Pay attention to the other kinds of gains you don't usually care about: athleticism, agility, stamina, speed, energy, health, mental, mobility, balance, etc.

First part builds stabilizers, body control, important neglected muscle chains, that sort of thing.

Second part boosts recovery potential, stamina (so you have strength beginning to end of your workouts) and smooths your form out through repetition.

Third boosts tensions generation and explosiveness so you can use your initial explosive momentum to get through reps; or even to randomly explode through a slow spot in the middle of a rep.

Fourth is standard. Use any standard strength training program if you want.

Fifth is for the muscle you'll need later on.

Cardio for recovery gains, stamina, health, athleticism, that sort of thing.

Try going 5 reps, then 5 reps, then as many reps as you can

If you can do more than 10 on the last set add some weight

Even taking just a week off from working out it takes me time to adjust back

Every day you go to the gym you're running laps around your alternative reality self that decided to stay home
