Building Muscle..What do you do?

[timtim]

time under tension is the main deciding factor on how the muscle activates. short, explosive reps or slow, deliberate muscle contractions build muscle differently. you want to grow, slow down the reps and focus on the contraction during the eccentric and concentric part.

This is a great thread bro, however it's in the wrong forum. There is a weightlifting forum for topics like that. Please make sure you pst in the correct forum.

Having said that, I do both high volume training and heavy lifting. Each has its time.

I mix it up but mostly moderate weight with moderate reps which wasn't an option on the poll. 8-12 reps. Maybe more for legs.

i think of it quarterly. meaning 3 months 5 rep sets, 3 months 8 rep sets. i switch back and forth.

I agree with Big Joe, I have founnd at our age you can train long or you can train hard -but! you can;t do both.
I'm a fime believer especially at our age that it takes more work to maintain what we are holding on to.
