who needs training partners? no need to go to failure that much anyway. I go to failure on 1 set, once every 4th week as a test after a small deload. you need to get volume in at a given rep range and weight to create an adoptive reponse from the body, going to failure isnt needed.

no one is saying just lift heavy weight will make you do 100 push ups. but in combonation increasing your 1rm and doing push ups 2 or 3 times a week will get you there. you need to do both. im 6'2" 225 and never do push ups now, but when i try them once in while for fun i can do over 70 just...

look at a 1 rep max chart, as your 1rm goes up so does your total reps at a given weight. when you are stronger a given weight will feel lighter and not tax the muscle as much, this allows you to lift the weight for more reps. the further something is from your max the more reps you can do...

This is what I'm talking about. If your diet and timing is right you can do anything!

you can tone with light weights, but you will look bigger and fuller doing 5x5 with a heavy weight, then say 4x10 with a much lighter weight. dieting wont hurt heavy weights if you take in alot of protein and are not doing an extreme diet.

On the money :digger: rep range wont do anything. stick to periodized routine and add lots of cardio/interval training combined with the diet above you will lean up fast.

Research shows Iso-Whey and Whole-Whey peptides absorb at almost the same rate. There is really no need to choose and iso or whole whey in the morning or night. Post workout is the only time it may be beneficial. The difference in peeking time is about 20minutes. Will this make a difference in...

BCAA's good if your doing extreme dieting. if not you get plenty from your protein sources.

if his gym only has 75db's i doubt they have chains and bands. your better off switching to Incline Barbell bench on your heavy days. Simple Enough

Hate to break the bad news to you, but you are not going anywere with that routine. your doing 25 sets on mon, 28 sets on sat. never going to happen. you have to many exercises and no direction with them. it seems you just put in exercises you like. i see no reason for some of the combos...

as long as you conintue to use periodization you will get stronger. force the body to adapt then change the stimlus and your strength will continue to grow. But, at some point 3x5 will not be enough stimlus as you become advanced, you may need more volume to get an adaptive response from the body.

I hear ya.. I squat and dl alone twice a week because i really dont feel up for anything else after im finished. Good luck, post the vid.

Bino, you are already overtraining with your smolov routine. i think several people noted in your post that routine wasnt meant for anyone but the top elite lifters and that you will overtrain. Well its been 1 or 2 weeks and your already over training. Kill that routine adn go with modded...
