Training

It's the difference between the guy who wastes time debating what to do in the gym and the guy who walks in, quietly knocks out his lifts, and goes on about his business.

We all know someone who’s on the treadmill from the time you get to the gym to the time you leave, attempting to sweat his or her way to a better body but seeing virtually no results.

Part of the reason most gym-goers avoid these low rep ranges is that it can feel uncomfortable and even dangerous. The truth is lifting heavy can cause injury, depending on the exercise and the way it’s performed.

​The inherent issue is the amount of fluid your muscles can hold is dependent on the size of the fibers. Consequently, you must focus on stimulating myofibril hypertrophy, not just sarcoplasmic.
