I kept being distracted by the guy in yellow rocking the weight up. How about form, rep timing and timing for hormone targets? Also you're looking at aerobic benefits of high reps without examining rest time between sets. All of these are substantial factors. In my 50s I studied this and for the first time factored them into a high intensity short workout three times a week that created a 10 hour oxygen deficit and optimal hormone profiles. I shed pounds and my muscles grew like never before.

I guess I really need to talk to someone because I've been going to the gym for almost 3 months now and see almost no results.
I started with 6 sets of 10 reps, then went to 10 sets to 10 reps on the leg press from 270 lbs to 320lbs.
Abdominal machine now 145lbs 10sets, 10reps
Back extensions 220lbs 10sets, 10 reps
Calf Extensions 10sets, 10 reps 270lbs.
Adduction machine 115lbs 5 sets, 10 reps.
What can I do to start seeing anything?

1) Load, how heavy the weight is relative to YOU (Heavy = 1-5 reps / Moderante = 6-15 reps / Light = 15-30+ reps)
2) Volume (number of sets performed per week)
3) Frequency (how often you train)
4) Rest intervals (1-3 minutes rest between sets)
5) Exercise Selection (Types of exercises that target your desired muscle group)
6) Set Endpoint (Making sure you're training close to failure)

Just stick to a modified version of Max OT Training in the general rep range of 4-8 reps. And rest between sets for 2-4 min. But MORE SPECIFICALLY, actually do 4-6 reps on COMPOUND Mvts and resting 3-4 minutes between sets. For ISOLATION Mvts, do 6-8 reps, & resting 2-3 min between sets.

Once you are past your forties, it is extremely important to have enough rest between workouts. As an example, If you train your arms extremely hard on Monday, your next arm workout should not be until at least Thursday and Friday is better.

so when dr. scott connelly invented metrx, he also researched the best rep / sets range for optimum muscle growth. it turns out that 10 x 10, using antagonistic movements, was the best. exp: chest & back / biceps & triceps / quads & hams

Guess Dorian Yates was doing it all wrong when he decided to train a muscle once a week instead of upping his frequency lol
Why rest 2mins? Rest for as long as you want and then your total volume will be up from the extra quality reps

Red shirt guy is a total noob, but yellow shirt guy has serious form clearly developed over years of dedicated commitment to perfectly developing his technique and perfecting his form. How can I hire him to train me?

I haven't changed my diet but have increased Reps from 8 to about 20 per set. I feel like I've lost some belly fat for sure and look leaner In my shoulders. Could be my imagination though.
