Can be an effective part of a routine, but it can also have a negative impact on the rest of the routine.

>i.e working out without a routine
How are these even remotely the same thing?
>>
it will shock your muscles but after some time they'll adapt
>>
>>37774867
nah mate you just gotta shock them otherwise...
for example a few weeks you tell yourself you gonna train biceps but hit triceps
but you will adapt to that so instead of telling yourself biceps and doing triceps you need to do chest or smth

>>37774867
Not if you confuse the muskel
>>
>>37774888

fuck yeah I knew muscle confusion was legit.

>>37774888
It is weird that sometimes if I was supposed to workout a particular muscle, and I didn't get to the gym that day, the next say that muscle will feel somewhat sore

>working out without a routine
that's not training to failure, that's just training to fail

What if you train the main compound lifts with progressive overload? I basically do a U/L split.

>>37774216
Stupid for weight lifting, good for bodyweight/calisthenics

What about training til failure when trying to aggressively increase weights (but youd still not go past 5 reps)? so if I only got 4 reps id still increase weight for the next session effectively making it training til failure. Im only doing this for one lift per day

bonjour reddit

I have had just as good results switching exercises every workout but keeping a similar format. At least 2 compound lifts per session. Do calves instead of upper part of legs more often.

And abs first.

Volume sets/days can be good.

>i.e working out without a routine
Bloody hell, at least make up a routine that suits what you're after and see how it lines up with other established routines. It's not that much work.
