Lift big to get big? What do YOU think??

[bigjd69]

Lift big=being big. What good is it to be big and weak? my philosophy big and strong

Good form is the key, quality lifts not quantity - We are not power lifter we are bodybuilders.

I had a buddy that kept agging me to do a high rep workout with him. i tried it for about 4 weeks and hated it. I actually got weaker. It wasn't my mental state either, if I'm gonna lift I'm puttin everything into it. I'll never do it again.

lift BIG = get BIG

this is very easy, lift big to get big. high weight low reps works for everyone who's ever tried it as far as i know.

I am no pro but I always do my 3x10 rep sets at about 75% and then on the last set couple of sets max out for 3-5. Is this an effective way to hit both High & Low?

Brother some of it is purely personal but for me it's 5 X 5's, 5 x 6's or drop sets - 8, 6 , 4, 8, 15 on defining lifts.

i've seen cutler workout and the most he ever put on the bench press was 245.... lift real slow... 5-5-1 counts for ten to 15 reps.... just what i saw

Lyle McDonald wrote something a few years ago stating something along the lines of, if you are lifting the same amount of weight (whether it be heavy, light weight, high rep, low rep, etc) from one year to the next, with no added change in strength, then you will probably end up looking the same and not be much bigger.

Over the years, I think I agree with this.

Yeah, and I've seen Ronnie go really heavy for set of 2.

Moderate to heavy weights, basic exercises, strict proper technique and a full range of motion works best for me.
