Heavier weight and lower reps vs lighter weights and higher reps
People will tell you the studies say they build similar muscle
What exactly are in those studies?? I broke it down for you
The breakdown includes 23 studies on this topic

Debate: do straps ruin your grip?
Plenty of lifters, powerlifters especially, won't touch straps. They say it kills your grip. Those same people also use hook grip

Replying to @StrengthDebates
@StrengthDebates introduced swole press today. Kids enjoyed it. Asked where it came from: “Coach swole”
Hypertrophy studies, and the way they are being presented is very misleading IMO to see my full break down including the lists of studies and stats on my opinion comment “study” I’ll send the link for you to read yourself.
I feel like when I see people making this statement, it’s always in defense of high rep sets. People are terrified that what has been believed and championed for decades might actually be inferior
Many use the statement that both high and low rep sets produce “similar” hypertrophy. Define similar…. The word itself seems a little misleading. What’s similar to me might not be similar to the next person. In fact when I dug in the low rep sets often had a slight edge, which I point out in my full video. I’ll send the link to that if you comment “Study”
For any study, no matter the subject. There is no “proof”. If you see someone saying there’s “proof” of xyz, that to me is a red flag. There is “evidence” not proof. And the evidence is only specific to the timeline of the study. It would be incorrect to assume results in a 8 week study would remain the same at the 3 year mark.
You will see in my breakdown, I layout participant types being an issue for me. You’ll also see I point out the amount of studies using single joint exercises. Not all of them, but a significant amount. I would never use the low rep set models on single joint exercises, why use them in a study?
Maybe the biggest issue is the mainstream opinion on hypertrophy is so far wrong that people have to protect them with poorly designed studies and good old fashioned gaslighting.
Before you say, oh I’m just selling low rep set programs. Yes I sell what I believe in, and I also understand people have preferences so I sell high rep sets as well. But in my personal pursuit, I’m a major believer in low rep sets
Had a some good feedback from the strength level testing
If you are not a powerlifting competitor you can now see your rankings against non competitors
If you’re a competitor you can now see how you rank against tested and non tested

Stop training to failure. Watch the bar instead.
Training until you can't do another rep is too far. My definition of failure is different: it's the moment bar speed starts to slow.
Today's Rx: Back squat · 8 × 3 @ 80–85%

How many times can you bench press 225??
There is actually a lot of technique that goes into the test and it always starts with the mindset then execution

Ready to jump right into low rep sets for tonnage? Comment “Jump” to jump into a free week.
Not everyone should jump right in, for that reason I have an alternative option that will ease you into the concept and progress your tonnage week to week. Comment “Ease” I’ll send you a link to start a free week.
There’s a lot of questions on this topic, which I have spent a ton of time adding education to my programming so you are learning while you train
The math I’ve come to is this, you are lifting 1,500% up to 2,500% of your 1 rep max using this concept. You don’t want more and more each session. You need recovery, so there are ups and downs purposely but the opportunities for PRs DRASTICALLY increase
Normal 1-6 rep maxes are always on the table and now you’re adding tonnage PRs on top of that trying to set new PRs for pounds lifted on 18, 24, 30 and 36 reps. Although I don’t use 36 for most people. My programming uses 24 and 30 the most
Ultimately it’s a choice. Most people have already decided to do 24 or 30 reps. My question is, how are you going to get there?
If you’ve been in a rut, or you’re just not happy with the results traditional training concepts have yielded, this is the change you need
