In his pyramid book 3rd edition and even in general he talks abt training heavy compounds in lower rep ranges however when u go to the muscle and strength pyramid website where they have the sample programs based on his book

He has chest pressing, overhead pressing, rows etc in the 10-20 rep range

This isnt rlly in line with what he says nd also just seems impractical to do a 20 rep set of bench press yk

What are your thoughts on this

Is is more like phd holders like eric helms and layne norton or perhaps influencers like tnf

Which creators do u think are worth listening to and are usually very knowledgeable in regards to training and muscle growth

So obviously the sbl community advises against bulking such as paul carter elijah mundy etc since eating at maintainance calories maximises muscle growth

My point is if your eating at maintainance how could you ever go from say 140 to 160lbs how would u maintain your way up

Basically i checked all the grade boundaries in last 5 years and compared it to my mocks

PORTFOLIO BTW

In physics my lowest is 2 ums above a A, in business my lowest was 8 ums above a B and a A in one boundary and in math it was a mid C as the lowest and around a B as highest

I think realistically i shd get ABB but im scared what if i get like BCC

This is the whole chart i made
