You won't get XBOX HUEG if you lift heavy and low reps.

Its ideal for strength, but not as hypertrophic, right?

Yup. 1-2 reps is neuromuscular. 3-5 is mostly strength, not as much hypertrophy.

Taken off from site:

Muscles are strong by two means: the muscle itself, and the neural connections between the muscle and the brain. Now, the muscle itself has clear-cut limits, for the most part. But the limits of neural connections between the muscle and the brain are vague at best. Most of the strength in the muscle actually comes from neural connections; some estimates are as high as 80%. Just imagine--your muscles can be outstandingly stronger, and not much bigger, simply because of a mighty connection between the brain and the neural factors in the muscle. This considered, strength training need not only exist in hypertrophy range. One could become extremely strong yet remain small, lean, and compact.

Word. Try lifting your max without mentally preparing yourself for the stress and forcing the movement. You will fail.

I hate that crap. Instead of saying "concentrate and prepare before lifting, you will do much better", they throw in all that pseudo-scientific bullshit.

The point isn't "concentrate and prepare before lifting, you will do much better", it's that working in low reps with heavy weights increases your neuromuscular strength, and it explains why.

This guy is amazing, granted, and he obviously is very physically healthy; but I suspect that he is not so much mentally. Healthy, that is.

Frank is actually pretty smart. He's really philosophical, if you read his blogs.

Plus, he's Asian. Automatic +1000 intelligence level.

Philosophy is great. Still pseudoscience. I'm sure the guy is great, and obviously his stuff works, but his explanations border on "stuff I pulled out of my ass because my chiropractor gave me a book one time".

This site says do 10 to 15 reps to get bigger, but Rippetoe says do 5 to get bigger. Whom do I believe?

I don't remember him saying you'll get "bigger", more along the lines of more strength.

i heard about this, training to become stronger but not making your muscles bigger, its exactly the type of training i want! how do we go about doing this!?

so when they say do 1-5 reps they mean the most weight you can do 1-5 reps in correct?
>> Anonymous
>>181294
Yeah, heavy enough so that you won't be able to do another rep afterwards.

Is this the dude who wrote this?

Gonad Wheelchair


Billy is a part time handicap
and his wheelchair is part of his gonads.
On the days when he has a bruised knee, it extends out from his scrotum
and he rides on it.
Other days when he is well, he stores it back inside his scrotum
and he walks like a normal guy.

One afternoon
I jogged alongside him while he rode on his wheelchair.
We stopped at a basketball court where two 20 feet tall Jews
were stabbing each other with knives until they were bleeding.

It is a full sized wheelchair, so I ask him...
HOW DOES IT FIT?

He goes "Mi Mi Mi mi mi mi mi mi..Mi mi MiMimiMiMMiMiMiMimimimimimimimimimimimi."

As opposed to stabbing people until they melt?

Neuromuscular development means that by training a special movement, you develop more nerves and thus better control over your muscles.
There's nothing pseudo about it.
Even Rippetoe wrote it down. Notice how beginners make huge jumps in weights, although they only put on muscle after a few weeks?
Yup, nerves develop, connections in the brain are made, the lift becomes more effective.

You don't "develop more nerves" you dumbass.

There's a reason why injuries that damage nerves never really heal on their own.
