Beginner, Have been doing 6-8 sets per muscle a week. And people are over here saying 50 sets per muscle? Wouldn’t that take hours and hours? Just to clarify when I say muscle I mean like 8 sets of excercises a week for chest (per muscle) am I reading it wrong?

Protein requirements

The recommended protein to build muscle is around 2 grams per kg of body weight, but this is assuming full body right? In theory if a guy only trains upper body would he need less protein per kg of body weight compared to someone that trains both?

I've seen it all

The TNF Mechanical dropsets
The sissy squat leg extension superset of doom and despair
the lenghtened partials
the mr mike israetel high volume workouts
skipping the eccentric "due to muscle damage"
overly long eccentric
the stretch
the "stretch doesnt matter"
deadstops
"time under tension"
1 set fullbody every other day
upper lower 6x a week
low volume low reps
5 effective reps
kelso shrugs vs rows
preacher curls vs recline curls

I've seen it all, bring it on sbl

What should I do when doing bicep curls and the weaker arm goes to failure and the stronger arm still has 1-2 reps left till failure?

It feels like the weaker arm is receiving maximum stimulus while the stronger arm is being artificially held back.. Should I stop at equal reps or push for those 1-2 extra reps on my stronger arm?

High volume results

Am i some sort of weird specimen or is it age? I understand that all the tiktok influencers etc talk abt how low volume is the best for growth and strength and their logic makes sense to me

But after a reading that article greg knuckols put out i thought ill bump my volume and give it a try and suddenly out of nowhere my bench plateau got blown way past in two weeks

Is it possible i just respond better to high volume? 18M 73kg 6’1

Being a beginner is humbling

I love lifting and building muscle and have gotten very serious about it for a little under two years now. But im still learning new stuff/making mistakes constantly.

Still fixing dumb mistakes with my program, like realizing i put in too much or put something where it doesn’t work as effectively

Still discovering new places that hurt and having to work around that and learn how to heal the damage (my right hip, wrist, ankle, shoulder, AND left forearm)

Still realizing some technique i was doing has bad execution and having to drop the weight to get it right, twice this past week

Still realizing some piece of equipment has some quirk that totally changes how to approach it, like one of the cable machines feels almost twice as heavy as every other machine in my gym, even though the weights say the same thing. Huh

Still figuring out how to eat right and how to time my meals.

Still figuring out how to track progress and not not get too eager one week and set an unrealistic goal

Not complaining though. Just impressed with how skilled and disciplined the experienced lifters are.
