    Build Muscle Faster With This Simple Training Method
    In today's video I'm sharing one simple training method to help you build muscle faster.
    When I say "build muscle faster" I specifically mean more efficiently. So, performing fewer total sets and reps but producing a comparable muscle building result.
    The bodybuilding method I'm talking about is called "muti-rep rest pause". It allows you to build muscle faster by essentially combining the benefits of 3 sets into 1 single extended set.
    The execution of this muscle building technique is pretty straightforward...
    1) Perform as many reps as you can with a given weight.
    2) Rest 12-15 breaths.
    3) Again perform as many reps as you can.
    4) Rest 12-15 breaths.
    5) Repeat one last time.
    What this does is keep you up near the point of muscular failure on the second and third attempt, allowing you to get in those quality "effective reps" without having to go through all the initial "junk reps" that you would have to do on completely separate sets.
    When it comes to the question of how to build muscle, remember that it's only the last few reps of the set where you're challenging the muscle's existing capacity that truly trigger a significant muscle growth response.
    With this method you'll build muscle faster by getting in a greater number of muscle building reps in less time.
    Ideally you should aim for at least 10 reps across all 3 attempts. So, it might look something like 12/6/4, or 10/5/3, or 7/2/1.
    This is generally more of an intermediate/advanced technique for building muscle and can be useful if you're looking for a more time efficient way to train or if you want a simple way to accumulate more volume for a given muscle group.
    Give this a try and see how you like it. Hope you found this muscle building tip helpful!

I made good progress and don't know why I quit and went back to the 3 sets of 12-15 reps, 2 exercises per body part. Since watching your video, I have started training with one set, using your rest-pause approach and am amazed at my progress. It's not overtly noticeable, but I can see improvement.

    I''ve been doing HIT for the last 7-8 weeks and the results have been incredible.
    I'm lifting heavier than ever, leaned down, and week on week I'm seeing improvement in strength. Been gyming for years but never did HIT properly.
    I go all out in every workout now. Fewer sets. Pushing muscles to failure. Really pushing the muscle to the limit.
    I'm not afraid to achieve even 2-3 reps these days if it means I get to the limit.
    Obviously one has to be careful so as to not cause injury, but im fairly cautious. I always make sure to warm up properly and build up the max.
    Mike Mentzer's philosophy is what I use as a guideline. So far so good.

    As a Powerlifter I always do rest pauses on my beach muscles exercises at the end of the session. Inspired by Dorian Yates style of training. Works great for stuff like Curls and Tricep extensions and allows me to get out of the gym significantly faster. Works great for pullups as well. If you do one set of Rest Pause pulls ups every time you go to the gym you will get very good at pullups.

    • @williamcastilla1963
      @williamcastilla1963 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for the advice about rest pause pullups. Should it be exactly the way Sean described it with one regular set, rest-pause for 10-15 seconds, then complete another set, rest-pause for 10-15 seconds again (for the second time), complete the final 3rd set and then you're done? Thanks.

    • @Icebergslim91
      @Icebergslim91 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@williamcastilla1963 Hey, personally I would only do a Rest-Pause as either the last working set or as just one set. The thing to keep in mind is if rest-pause is done correctly it is extremely taxing and on a big compound movement like a pull-up you don't want to over do it. If you go to the gym 3 - 4 times a week and do 1 Rest-Pause set per session it will be more than enough in fact as you get better at going to failure you might have to drop it back to 1 - 2 times a week and doing regular sets within 3 - 1 reps of failure on the other days. if you were just doing pullups once a a week you could do say 3 sets with the first two being normal sets and the last one being rest-pause.
      IMO You shouldn't be reliant of this type of training it is more just another tool to use and is really really time efficient, you're basically getting 3 - 6 of quality reps in a single set as opposed to say 1 - 2 on a regular set.
      I highly recommend researching Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates styles of training, I don't think everything that they say should be taken as gospel but the way they go about training to failure on a set is very insightful and I can safely say it does work it just becomes extremely mentally taxing after a while. They basically ramp up to a set to failure which often includes stuff like rest-pause and force negative sets, extremely time efficient but extremely brutal as well.

    • @papaspaulding

      Id just go by the amount of caffeine per mg in the coffee you drink /how many cups vs how many mgs of caffeine in your pre workout per scoop.

    • @Sean_Nalewanyj
      @Sean_Nalewanyj  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you use it excessively then yes, you'll develop resistance to the stimulant ingredients. Something like citrulline malate which is not a stimulant would be fine though. I recommend limiting pre-workout use ideally to 4 times a week and then taking 1-2 weeks off after every 6-8 weeks of consistent use. Doing that will allow you to maintain maximum sensitivity.

      random rare neopagan Constant use of preworkouts makes you less sensitive to caffeine. I would recommend using them when you need them rather than using them regularly. If you use them regularly then a good idea would be to go off them for a while to resensitise your body to caffeine again.

    • @Aaronduhmoron
      @Aaronduhmoron 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely, because it makes you less sensitive to your own adrenaline and makes it more difficult to guage if you're recovering properly since you just keep adding more to counter fatigue. Check out THIBARMY's "Why I Don't Like Stimulants"

      Yes.. Similar to Mentzer's HIT method but Mike did one set and thats it. Other ppl here on Ytube have similar methods such as Drew Baye and Jay Vincent. They also say that you should workout only about once per week. Unfortunately this method has taken a back seat to the more popular 3-5 days a week in the gym

    • @AdamScottfit
      @AdamScottfit 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I'm surprised seeing as people have got busier and busier. You would think that more people would want to play around with this method. The thing is, a lot/most of the research points to 9-20 working sets per muscle group, per week 1-3 reps shy of failure. That gets lost in translation because people forget that compound exercises like the bench press work the chest, triceps and shoulders to a great degree. That should be recorded as 1 set for each, but rarely if ever, is.
