Workout Intensity

Hey Guys,
I am new here. I would like to ask a question. I am trying to build size. I know that if I want to go for size then I need to do around 5 – 6 sets and fail at the 10 th or 11 th rep. But my question is that can I work out as hard as I want? Put all my effort in the lifting. Basically, I am asking can I give it all I can? Or is there a limit or something. Please let me know.

Thanks

Do it and find out.
 
check out the other logs on here
watch how people are training and learn
 
if you're asking if you just go in there and throw around heavy weights the answer is no
I mean do you see anyone at the gym doing that
 
we want to learn more about you first
how many years have you been training and how old are you and give us your stats
 
Hey Guys, thank you for your reply. I will be hard to answer everyone. But I see the point everyone is making. And I agree with everyone. Many have asked what exactly I am doing and my stats and also I have notices I need to post a log. I dont really use a log but this is that i am doing for size, I work out 3 days a week. 1st day I do chest and biceps, the next day I do back and triceps and then the third day I do shoulders. I also play sports. My weight is 72kg, I am around 34 years old and my height is around 172cm.

@Arbaaz good to see you respond

what you need to do is start a training log on EF
this way you get guidance from the EF family

We have 100s of years of experience between us, you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.

Please post a Log Journal asap for us

Please click the anabolic forum
top RIGHT, you see: +POST THREAD
click that

in Title: write your cycle name, like> My _____ Cycle Log
___ = the name of your log
example: My Training Log
in body: write your planned cycle or cycle you doing now, your diet, training and we will help you along on your cycle

here are examples of LOG Journals

@Arbaaz bro its always a good idea to start slow and gradually increase numbers......
 
You can either train hard, or long, but you can't do both. If you are really going balls out to failure then you'll get one real set in per exercise - and the per workout volume tolerance range varies widely from the hardgainers at 3 exercises for 1 set each, to average people at 3-6 exercises, and then those people that can tolerate quite alot of volume 6-10+ total sets to real failure per workout.

Most people training like this do best training once or twice a week. You can do all the exercises in one workout, and then wait a week to train again, or you can split the exercises into an A and B using whichever two non-consecutive days you choose - like Monday-Thursday. The number of exercises per workout, and the frequency of your workouts is entirely predicated on your individual tolerance to exercise stress in a given session, and how quickly you can recover and supercompensate before the next workout.

I always recommend training to absolute momentary muscular failure because you will build just as much muscle as someone doing 3 sets or 5 sets per exercise. I instinctively trained this way from the first set of barbell bench press at 13 years old with my Sears concrete weight set - bench press with leg extension for good measure.

If you do this long enough you will truly know when you are going to fail on the next rep, at which point, if you want to try a volume approach you will be much better able to gauge your training intensity. You'll also be able to train where you stop at the last full rep you know you can complete - whereas alot of guys nowadays are training half-assed going rir (reps in reserve) of 1-2 when they had 3-4 in them etc. How can you rate your rpe(rate of perceived exertion) if you haven't consistently gone to absolute momentary muscular failure to know what that actually is?

Basically train HARD, rest, repeat - over and over. This is the way.
