I’m exactly where you were. Moved to a new town, sick of working for commercial gyms, little money, renting out a place hourly (like just started last week). It took me what seemed like forever just...

Yes, I’m quite disappointed in how I explained what I was trying to say. I’ve never posted in any forum such as a Fitness forum and didn’t use intensity as in what a Fitness professional should. I...

Grammatically, I’m using it as a way to describe the workout. If that makes it easier to clear your confusion.

Ya man! The whole certification, bachelors, and everything! Pretty cool huh? But yes my guy, two types. Intensity-simply put the amount you lift or %1rm and Intensity- as in Rate of Perceived...

His off season program was all lifting and basically no conditioning which is what we focused on. He was a freshman going into his sophomore year, trying to make the starting squad. His in season...

Well before you were being kinda condescending. I give him all the credit man. Like I said we trained 3-4 days a week. I would say the programming and specificity of what he wanted to get better at,...

Also nice to see a fellow Wisconsinite on here. 💪🏼

I mean essentially it was both. When you change your leverage and center of gravity, you changing/adding the muscles engaged. So if you’re doing a dive bomb push up, slow and controlled, you’re...

And Mr.Cornhole, I actually do but I’m working on building my own business. I live in a very small town with no commercial gyms, which I’m glad because most of them just focus on sales and not...

So essentially, hypertrophy days would be stretching and tearing with slow, controlled movements, getting as deep into the movement as possible. Strength, I would be changing my center of gravity,...

I mean hypertrophy really refers being able to promote growth by tearing the muscle fibers right? Strength in body weight training would be concurrent to how well you can move your body weight around...

Haha well duh, and the fact that depending on your body weight, strength, etc. you aren’t going to get much benefit out of body weight unless you’re pushing yourself almost to failure. Unless, like...

My body weight actually stayed about the same, I went from like 206-200ish. Just because I was also doing a daily fast. Like I said, during those none hypertrophy days I was doing 20 Minute circuits...

Haha I do what I can with what I got. Weights are expensive bro.

There’s two types of intensity. If I’m using body weight, I’m using exercise intensity as it pertains to energy expenditure.

If I’m doin my hypertrophy days I’m doing quad and some kind glute or...

It’s high intensity. Keeping my heart rate up, going as much as I can without stopping. Going to failure. The Fitness community is so all over the place with what half this stuff really means.

I estimate body fat % based on calipers. Using the main body fat spots on your body. Technically high intensity, as it was created, pertains to training the point of almost muscular failure. So...

You boys are taking it quite to literally. I’m asking, basically, if anyone has had experience training high intensity and hypertrophy at the same time. Are you kidding me? What is this ********? We...

Hey All,

I've been bouncing this question around in my head for quite a while. Can one train for a bit of size as well as muscle endurance/strength/power? I know it sounds a bit nuts but I've...
