New Research Shows Why 60% Or More Of Your Max Builds The Best Muscle...

A recent study finally gives weight to what many bodybuilders have been preaching for decades. When setting up your training regimen for the sole purpose of creating strong yet physically aesthetic muscle mass, the low weight high rep technique definitely has a stopping point. The study discovered that dipping below that 60% of your max lifting weight begins to dramatically decrease the ability to create muscle mass.

But the best part is, sticking to 60% and up to even 80% of your max weight capacity could have the ability to keep protein synthesis firing, leading to more "food to muscle" conversion, while also preventing the weakening or "breakdown" of muscle tissue.

This would mean that to experience the most dramatic levels of muscle-making, your training routine should incorporate the following elements:

+ 60% or greater of your max weight lifting capacity
+ 30-60 second rests between exercises
+ Exercise modulation, concentrating on focused muscle groups each day
+ Clean protein consumption for protein synthesis before and after workouts

Interesting.
But what happens when you want to build so much that youre 80% becomes your max without even realizing it.
Have to always be careful to keep changing things up.

Hey Bro I was thinking the same thing. Definitely have to throw in a 1RM to see where you are every now and then. I like to change it up every 3-4 weeks with either the 1RM, All out super-sets, drops, tri-sets...etc
