HIT Rob Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I like it!! For hypertrophy purposes, the thing I've found is that when the resistance is super heavy, your focus is purely directed toward just moving the weight from A to B, but when the weight is moderately heavy, you can get a better mind to muscle connection and really focus on making every inch of the movement hard on the given bodypart. I also find it nearly impossible to squeeze and really contract the muscles hard if the resistance is too heavy. Good chart:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellon Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I wouldn't really agree. Some points are right but powerlifting training has a number of aspects. Speed training is high in the number of sets and very low in loads used. Also, in my case 80% of a day's movements are moderate in weight with a medium number in sets and reps, 5 sets x 10 reps being a rough guideline for good volume. Plus, if you're a bodybuilder, using max strength training can improve your hypertrophic results indirectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT Rob Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Here's a good wee article, talks about the difference between optimizing strength (lifting performance) vs optimizing muscular development, http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/why_bodybuilders_are_more_jacked_than_powerlifters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
