I just enjoy the pump so I do full body workout and eat while still exercising this really helps to keep me going. But I feel real good closer I get to the second hour. I start with either bench or squats. What ever I start on I will break it to fail then while that part is recovering I move to and work on either the opposite body section until fail usually my second lift is dead lift. And work my way up or down the body. I will then return to the first body part I started on and start breaking it down while reducing the weight until I'm at 30to40% Less then my starting weight capacity. When I get the shakes or want to puke I know I'm done. On my down days I usually do cardio to build a sweat and keep my body warm and loose like bikeing, walking and calf strengthening. Most of the time I'll take a 34 hour rest before lifting. sometimes it will be 48 hrs rest. I never had anyone to learn from. until now. I ussaully just listen to my body. I finally got a smart phone two years ago. Now I'm being filled with all types of wonderful input on all kinds of subjects. Unfortunately a lifetime of self training has left me how do I say. Lacking in symmetry. I'm really uneven. I'm not a body builder I just enjoy the feeling.

Excellent video I am new to lifting and well the gym in general actually. LOL. I used to weight around 450 pounds and lost 295 of that in basically a year. Since Jan 2019 I have been hitting up the gym. First started with just Cardio, then did some weight machines after a cardio session. Just basic upper/lower/core spilt. Then I started to fall in love with weights. I find cardio in the gym so boring, but weight make me feel amazing and like superwoman. So mid Sept 2019 I up'ed my training game big time. I do the Bro Spilts of back/Biceps/core, chest/shoulders/triceps, legs each twice a week and for my day 7 it is Cardio & Core. I train about 2 hours to 2. 5 hours for my spilt days, and my day 7 is usually just 1. 5 hours. I always start with cardio for 35 mins, then do weights for the rest. I do my compound, stronger exercises right after cardio, because at the end of workout I am done and exhausted for sure. As such, I appreciated each one of these training myths

Great video. and as a seasoned lifter myself (been in the gym for over 24 years now, I would like to add: Myth nr 6 - Thinking that you can continuously raise the weight you are lifting (ie gain size and strenght)I think it is needed to be said out loud that progression in the gym (progressive overload) is not an infinite process, meaning that you are going to plateau with plates on the bar as well as your muscle gains sooner or later. In my experience it happens in cca 5 years of serious training. And to add to this, there is no training routine (hack or whatever) that is going to make you go beyond your natural capacity in sense of gaining more strenght or size. Of course, this is assuming that you are not going to take vitamin S.

The big positive for bro splits is that your arms get more volume. I hit chest on monday, and triceps on thursday, and back on tuesday and biceps on friday. The total weekly volume for my arms is much higher with a program like this. The downside is the leg training, but for people like me, whose arms are the weak point, and not the legs, this program is greatEdit: I used to run a 5 day split (pull, push, legs, core, calves, (repeat without rest day) and that's better for legs, chest and back, BUT not for arms. It's arguably also better for the shoulders to use a bro split. During push workouts you tend to do more for the chest and less for the delts.

I think toning for high reps is more for lean muscle for endurance rather than size. I rely on soreness/fatigue to tell what muscle was worked out on the most / which one was the weaker one. I don't think muscle confusion is important for muscle growth, but more so for muscle strength. I've noticed the day where I take 2 days break for working out rather than 1 is the days where I preform slightly worse than the days where I only take 1 day of break because my body is developing a habit of having a rest day in between every other day. Perhaps it's just me, but I try to keep that in mind when I train my body.

Im not trying to disprove anything because I only watched the first two but technically the first isnt a myth. Hypertrophy training higher reps does increase muscle tone hence the idea of toning. And low reps is usually for max strength and power lifting. Which is why competitions with worlds strongest typically has one or so reps and are bigger human beings mass wise. This is all assuming you are training using calculations from your 1RM. Most people that do more than reps or do it for time arent doing it to failure they are scientifically going to tone by default

The problem is, that everything 'works' to some degree, and these work a lot more for beginners/pre-intermediate. Of course some stuff is just far more efficient and optimal. However, there are a lot more beginnerintermediate than advanced lifters. This is why there is so much disinformation out there as lots of people can [genuinely] say Oh, well i did this thing and it worked for me, so it must be real without realising that the reasons stuff worked was because you were basically just getting those newbie gains and getting you fitter in general.

One myth is that everyone wants to be huge, not everyone wants to be buff or huge some people want to have lean muscle, like a Spiderman type of body I believe most women are attracted to that body type instead of a huge bulky muscle type but everyone has different taste some people like being huge and some women dig bulky guys, I'm a skateboarder but I like to work out I don't want to be bulky it'll make my board look like a finger board and it'll make me less flexible and agile so I prefer a lean body muscle type it's what I'm working to achieve.

Another myth: You need to stick to exactly three sets of (10, 12, 8, whatever) and hold that number as sacred. If you insist on this, then the only way you can do it is by making your first set easy; the second one a bit hard; and only going to failure in your last set. You are not working hard enough, if you can actually complete all of your sets. Jeff Cavalier of Athlean talked about this. Anyway, great video. Peace
