Shutting down all the bro science being spread on the misc.
Progressive overload/increasing the weight isn't how you build muscle. You need to build muscle first lol and lifting heavy does not build much muscle at all, it increases strength.
You also think because you went on a bulk and increased your leverage from the extra fat in your arms that you are building muscle but you aren't.
Strength training is a Fuking joke designed to get you to buy pre workouts, wrist straps, adipowers, inzer belts and all the other crap. *******s spending their money on creatine just to add 5lbs to a lift because they are holding extra water and have better leverage.
Why do you think all the strength based programs are reccomended for beginners? Why are all the half natty youtubers selling strength programs to beginners ? Because they will build muscle from their noob gains regardless lol
The strongest powerlifters are ALL fat, and this is bodybuilding.com so if you want to look like chit while having these silly numbers in your sig like it means something carry on. For the ppl who actually want to be aesthetic Wake up man.
This is how you build muscle.
The rep range for building actual muscle is around 10-12 and once you build some muscle and the weight becomes "easy" you don't suddenly up the weight you perform the reps MUCH slower, work the negative and get a good stretch/squeeze then once you master that THEN you increase the weight. Lift it don't shift it.
you don't even need to be oncellular technologySamsung Galaxy just stop training like retards.
Come at me.

Im pretty sure the strongest powerlifters aren't in the sub 200 weight class but you're right tho, Galaxy plus elite genetics is a helluva drug.
No progressive overload preaches adding weight to the bar every week or so. It doesn't emphasise truly mastering the weight and slowing down the motions.
PO is literally "keep eating and getting fatter (increasing leverage) and keep adding weight to the bar"We don't negotiate with feminists.

Strength isn't the same thing as leveraging. So much stupid in your post. There also isn't a rep range for building muscle. You can build muscle doing static contractions for fuks sake.
If you want to get stronger or bigger, progressive overload is required. If you never overload a muscle there is no stimulus for any adaptation. Form and weight are not mutually exclusive. Lifting with good form should increase the tension on the muscle, making the exercise feel heavier/harder. For maximum growth and strength increases, one should train with the heaviest weight possible, with minimal amounts of momentum and using form that keeps tension on the muscle for a sufficient amount of time to create a growth stimulus.
You don't need more than one set per exercise, you don't need to do a certain number of reps. Results depend on intensity and tension, which are functions of weight and form.

i agree for the most part
form, full range of motion and TUT are key to muscle growth. That and weekly consistency, aka more than 3 times a week. YOu do need to increase the weights at some point though, I do 8-9 reps per set... is there any realy proof that 10-12 reps grows muscle better? it just feels too light to get bigger doing 12 reps I uno that how I feel doe
