x2 soak up as much as you can with anatomy and physiology
Lower reps >5 and really heavyweight, as opposed to 8-12 rep weights will really improve your “tone” and give you a “harder” and more “dense” look.[/quote]
More so it’ll give you the dense “feel” you’re after. Heavy lifting breaks muscle down more efficiently and the new tissue and bigger muscle that comes in after recovery is thicker and harder. Not only that, the heavier weight makes your brain tell your body “holy shit, recruit more muscle fibers, this shit is heavy we gotta work harder!” Nothing against 8-12 or 15 because it obviously works for hypertrophy, endurance, and some strength but lower rep heavier weight is all about man power, and a stronger muscle is a harder one.
I’m an old fart but was reenergized by Waterbury’s Huge in a Hury.
Then I found Wendler’s 5 3 1 and love it even more.
Now he has his 3 month challenge that I’ll try after I get back from vacation.
I hope this helps.
