Should you do low reps, high reps, heavy weight, light weight, do slow reps, or do fast reps? Well, although we do have quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to the way we should perform our reps to grow muscles faster, it has also shown that for you to build muscle fast, it would be in your best interest to execute your reps in the following fashion. First, stick MOSTLY to a hypertrophy rep range of roughly 6-12 reps for each of your sets. Second, use moderately heavy weight or resistance. And last, use a lifting tempo that is around 1 second on the way up and 1 second on the way down of each rep. These 3 rules will, for the most part, help you build lean muscle faster. However, there is another major area most people tend to overlook: tension. Because if you want to gain muscle fast, then maximizing tension needs to be your priority. And when it comes to the fastest way to gain muscle, there are 2 steps to start applying right away. The first step you need to implement to grow muscles faster is mastering the execution of every single rep. Because your body is designed to cheat. While you may be lifting heavier or doing more reps, youre not actually providing more tension to your target muscle and hence wont experience the growth. Take a look at your exercises, and see if youve been compromising your form during your reps. If so, lighten the weight or decrease the reps so that you can execute your sets to the point where every single one of your reps are identical and executed with precision and optimal form. The second step to implement to gain muscle fast is to apply internal focus, the idea that we can stimulate and grow our target muscles to an even greater degree by shifting more of our focus to them working during each rep. Meaning that as you perform your reps for any exercise, your main goal should NOT be to simply do your required number of reps and sets for that day. You need to realize that we dont just lift weights or do reps. With each of our exercises all we are doing is contracting our target muscle by bringing its origin and insertion points closer together, which then as a result then moves whatever load or resistance were using. And thats what I want you to try to think about as you perform your reps, as opposed to externally focusing on just getting the weight up or doing a certain number of reps. This idea goes for something as simple as biceps curls too, if you want to build muscle fast. Rather than thinking about just lifting the weight up, note the origin and insertion points of the biceps, and instead just think about bringing those two points closer together to fully contract the biceps as you curl, which will then as a result lift the weight up. So think less about the action or movement involved and more about fully contracting the right muscles every single rep, as this will result in far greater growth and with less work. Applying this will inevitably result in your exercises now becoming considerably more challenging. It can be tempting to stop using this internal focus purely in order to achieve your target number of reps or hit a certain amount of weight for that day. But these extra reps and weight just do more harm than good, because that extra tension isnt being directed towards growing your target muscle. Put your ego aside and realize that this is indeed the fastest way to gain muscle (instead of mindless reps. The only exception to this is that for heavier sets of lower reps, and especially for compound lifts like the deadlift for example, you would want to instead focus your attention on execution and simply getting the weight up. All in all though guys, you need to realize why youre doing your exercises. If your aim is to use those exercises to stimulate your muscles to grow them, then youre going to get far better results in the long run by prioritizing your execution and focusing on the muscles youre supposed to be working as opposed to just moving weight from point A to point B. Apply this simple concept to each one of your reps and I guarantee that youll start to build lean muscle faster as a result. And for an all in one, step by step program that comes complete with both exercise tutorials for each and every exercise, AND follow along guides showing you exactly how to maximally activate each of your muscle for growth so that you can see faster results with less work, then simply take the analysis quiz to discover which science-based program would be best for you and where your body is currently at below

Congratulations on your new gym. Thanks so much for all of your quality videos. I've watched all of them and l'm implementing a lot of what I learned in my own personal workouts. I'm slowly progressing. I'm 50 years old and 64kgs and suspect have a height similar to yours (around 173cm. I'd love to know where I can get a tank top like the one's you wear in your videos.
Important question: What brand of tank top do you wear? I'm a fellow Canadian in South Korea, but I've scoured all the major sports retailers in North America and can't seem to find a decent fitting tank top like yours.
Where can I get that tank top that you wear in your videos (the blue or gray?
Can someone help me?

Jeremy, this was excellent advice! Thank you for the extra information to improve muscle activation or muscle growth. At 65, this gives me an extra boost. Oh! And by the way, Jeremy, as a gym newbie, thank you for the PSA note about curling in the squat rack. I will be honest, I did not think that people were joking about this. until I did it. and experienced the equivalent of the wrath of God. Some of us are not familiar with the stuff everybody knows because we are not like everybody. Thanks, Jeremy!

60-year-old ex-bodybuilder who I met 25 years ago told me exact same thing, you have to focus with your mind to the muscle you are working on. Not focusing to the radio, not what you see in the mirror but that muscle group you working on. When the nervous system is focused it creates greater strength for it to process the intension.

Mind-Muscle connection is the most important factor involved in active muscle growth and hypertrophy BUT it is mostly ignored because of ego lifting. This guy is literally the inspiration you need in today's time. Hats-off man.

Big takeaways from this vid:
1. Bicep curls in the kitchen stimulates greater muscle growth than in other household areas (5: 46.
2. Never sport a muscle shirt, in gym or otherwise, sans the compulsory gold chain.

Love how you structure and visualize the knowledge you pass, and also have everything fully transcribed, too. That often helps to get the information quicker and in situations when I cannot listen. Many thanks for that!
