High Rep Compounds

If you don't give a fuck about numbers and just want aesthetics, can you fuck off with the 5x5 compounds in programs like PPL and just go for high rep diddlys, squat, bench, and ohp?

high reps don't get aesthetics, that's just a particularly stubborn piece of 90s broscience

Yes and you'll get better results.

high reps are only good for burning weight off, though you need to lift pretty heavy weights for high reps to do much

>Yes
>Maybe

Which retard is correct?

The one you quoted

All of them.

PHUL with compounds + calf and forearms is the best of all worlds

Rep ranges have little effect on hypertrophy despite what most people think.
Low reps 1-3 have the greatest gains in 1RM, high reps 15-20 have the greatest gains in muscular endurance.
All rep ranges should be used as they cause muscular growth through different means.
What seems to matter most is “volume” but despite what people say volume should generally be thought of as number or working sets not reps.
Intermediate reps 5-12 are typically thought as as the hypertrophic range because they although for decent volume whilst being less prone to injury (more common with low reps) and are easier to progress on (difficult to add weight on higher reps).

Hypertrophy is achieved by lifting how many reps it take to bring the muscle to exhaustion, more easily achievable through higher rep ranges but theres no specific number. You could just as efficiently use heavier weight with low reps and finish every heavy set with a drop set and fatigue the muscle that way. The most important thing is to SQUEEZE EVER LAST REP OUT AND FEEL THE BURN it doesnt matter how much weight/reps. Additionally, higher volume is always better on top of everything I just said. Now stop making noob threads that we have everyday

I thought the answer was time under tension, which is similar to volume but not quite

There is practically zero evidence that TUT affects hypertropht

>0 time under tension results in no gains
>More than 0 time under tension results in gains
Take that, atheists

It will wreck your joints

Progressive overload is all that matters

This is the true answer

No it won’t. Many compound lifts are actually much easier on your joints than isolation movements such as BB/DB bench vs Flys and OHP vs lateral raises.

I only do compound lifts in an UL split as follows:
U:
Hang high pull 5x3
OHP 6x-
DB bench 6x-
Bench pull 6x -
Chin ups
L:
Power clean 5x3
Diddly 4x-
Squat 4x-

ULUxLUx
I cycle rep ranges from 15 to 1RM something like:
Week 1: 15-8 reps
Week 2: 8-3 reps
Week 3: 3-1 reps
Repeat cycle. The volume and working sets depend of the next cycle depend on my 1RM performance.

Pushups and Dips are some good high rep compounds.

Pull ups are hard so it may take some time to get 15+ reps per set. Either way its a good compound move for back development.

this is why i only date increasingly heavier chicks
