I feel bad for always clicking on the summary timestamp... thank you guys for your excellent work!
Don't feel bad, it's there for a reason. I completely understand not everyone has the time to watch every minute of the videos :)
@@HouseofHypertrophy yeah! i trust you, and only care what yer findings where, not how you got them.
I watch on 2x speed
@HouseofHypertrophy - Having chapters and a summary are hallmarks of a thoughtful creator, cares more about the viewers than squeezing out a couple more pennies. I appreciate that you don’t “bury the story” like other creators, and this is a big reason I click quickly when I see your videos. I click on the summary, then go back to the sections of most interest. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
I always watch the full video, I Just get carried away everytime :)
The advantage of bands is having 100lbs of resistance in a device which weighs less than 1lbs.
This is why they are a great feature in home gyms. Cheap, portable, store small, still provide decent tension. Pretty much perfect for those days you have little time or can't get to the gym.
Resistance band works on both aganise n antaganise muscles. A very useful n challenging exercise tool for core stability over mobility. I love using gymstick, its so very tough workout indeed.
I utilized bands for years... Great pump. No gains 😤
@@AppalachianApeThat's more than likely down to a multitude of factors other than the bands themselves. Nutrition, overload, RIR etc.
The videos on this channel influenced my workouts more than any other channel. Particularly useful is the research that indicated that 30+ reps, provided they are to the point of failure will grow muscle. This means that on days that I cannot or do not want to go to the gym, I can train at home even though I have a limited number of equipements.
Thank you, dude, that's very nice to hear!
30reps? Quicker and better to do sets of about ten to FAILURE... and when I say failure I mean YOU CANT DO ONE MORE REP!
@@repentandfollowjesuschrist6170 Well, what if you don't have the weights to do get to failures in 10 reps? Well, the research presented in this video is useful. It shows that if you have enough weights to get to failure within 30+ reps you can still build muscles. Also, higher repetition training seems to be less damaging on my joints and connective tissues.
Tbh might as well just take a deload in those circumstances unless you're like me and only go to the gym once a week anyway.
Hasn't really made a difference to my gains going so little. Got to 27 ffmi as a natty. In fact I think going less often is a major component in that given that 2 weeks off resets the cellular mechanisms that limit responsiveness to training.
So tldr just take the day off lol.
@@Arkhs One thing I learned from this channel is that every bit helps. So, I agree with you. Skipping a day/week because life catches up with you is not going to make the days that you managed to get to the gym useless.
Thank you for all your hard work! Your no-nonsense, no-theatrics approach is such a breath of fresh air on TH-cam and I'm so grateful you are sharing your passion with the world. Such a positive force - keep up the amazing work. Salute.
Thank you my friend, I sincerely appreciate those words!
Let's fucking go!! Notification army!!
Haha, thank you! I hope the video is interesting in some way!
Quit cussing
@@rockyjonesspacecadet7089 fuck yeah!
@@felixjimcal On my
Great work man. The most recent vids have incredible quality. Keep it up!
Thank you my friend, that's very kind of you!
Excellent video as usual. Your channel is without exaggeration the single best in its field. Truly is. As an engineer i also always thoroughly enjoy the structured , systematic approach.
That's super kind of you, thank you!
@@HouseofHypertrophy It's the truth.
Most objective and insightful TH-cam account in this genre that I've found in 8 years
This is a brilliant, well-thought, video on the topic. It is interesting and entertaining.
Love your work!
Your fan and subscriber from Sydney, Australia
Thank you so much my friend!
With body weight and resistance bands you just have to be more creative. It took me a while to figure exercises that could challenge my hamstrings or quads with resistance bands but once you find those exercises you are goos
Great point, thank you for sharing. I wish you the best of gainz!
this is literally the channel of my gym science nerd dreams thank u sm !!
Thank YOU for checking it out!
Thanks for the awesome content, as usual, still waiting for the myo-reps/rest-pause video!!
Thank you my friend! Hopefully I'll get to that soon!
at the end of the day you body doesn’t care where the stimulus comes from just as long as you are getting it from somewhere
The alpha progression app is game changing. I find it surprisingly difficult to be consistent with my logging and I’ve always wanted an app like this, they just usually suck. Glad to be able to support you even if it’s just by using your code. Love the content as always ❤
I’ve spent 10 minutes playing with the app and holy moly. I knew that you wouldn’t use your platform to recommend something unless you truly liked it, but the amount of detail, usefulness, & customizability that obviously went into this app is comparable to Greg Nuckols’ MacroFactor in my opinion. Once again, thank you so much for everything you do for the community at large.
This is really awesome to read, thank you for writing it! I'm really glad you like the app :)
And I've heard great things about MacroFactor, I've got to check that out :)
Great videos! Love how you put in the work! 👏👏👏
Excellent video - thank you for clearing up some confusion!
Really nice to hear, thank YOU for checking it out!
so happy i found this page, the amount of time and effort put into these videos is unmatched.. well done lads! keep up the work
Thank you dude!
Another fantastic video my friend! Loved every minute of it. Keep working hard :)
Thank you my friend!!
This video came out just in time for my push workout 😂 Currently listening on the shoulder press machine 💪🏻
I love this channel. It gives me so much motivation and confidence in the workouts I've been doing since May. It's so cool when the things I've noticed about myself and my own training are backed up by studies in your videos.
Haha, awesome to hear. Thank you for those nice words, and I hope you had a great workout. May the gainz continue!
This channel is amazing. Studies like this should be the Standard. Greetings from Germany!
Thank you my friend! Greetings from the UK
Excellent summary referring to scientific studies. Thank you!
Thank YOU for checking it out!
Incredible. Amazing video!
Thanks for having a summary for when you're short on time.
No problemo :)
While it's useful to keep things simple, 3 RIR for a low rep set (eg 5 reps) and 3 RIR for a high rep set (eg 20 reps) are two very different things. With the latter, it's much harder to judge how many reps you still have left in you, and doing those reps is much more a matter of will (it burns!) than being physically incapable of performing another rep.
Those are good points!
I totally see this channel with 1M subs in two years
Thank you dude :)
Dude this was better than I thought it was going to be. Thanks.
Haha, awesome to hear! :)
Great video!
Thank you!
omg my favourite person ever house of hypertrophy
Haha, thank you :)
The was excellent like all your other videos. I take the science you share to modify my workouts. Thank you
Thank YOU for the kind words my friend!
Killed it once again.
Thank you my friend!
As a current exercise science student, I enjoy watching your videos a lot 😂 something about your videos are just mentally stimulating for me 🙌🏾
This is really cool to hear, good luck with your studies!
I'm thinking about changing to exercise science (currently studying psychology). How do you like that major so far? Which profession are you aspiring to? Greetings from Germany ✨
I reintroduced myself to the gym on January first. Just listening to you explain this, really motivates me to get better in my workouts. 😊
This is really great to hear, good luck with your workouts.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I have been struggling with sore arm muscles for years. Your education videos finally helped me understand what I've been doing wrong I can't wait to use the alpha progression app thank you.
This is really nice to hear, thank you so much !
This is the best no bullshit bodybuilding youtube channel i found
Thank you dude, that's really nice to hear
Excellent video.
Thank you :)
I've been following numerous fitness channels for years and my conclusion is pretty much this: "good" and "bad" is mostly a question of "for whom?"
Many fitness gurus like to point to elite athletes, ignoring that most people (even fit and strong people) are neither elite nor super athletic. We regular folks need different training programs. The fitness industry suffers from worship of the select few at the very top. Most of us have to ignore these lone cases, they're not us and we're not them. Their training programs are crazy, and they often have some of the best medical support in the world for optimized recovery and nutrition and technique and stuff. And even then they sometimes hide bad symptoms they're experiencing.
That's not us regular folks. We need something much less extreme.
thanks for the free book 😇
No problem :)
Another *AWESOME* video!!!
Thank you my friend!
Went ahead and gave that app a shot, big 🐕. It does look very good from what you showed. I've done about 3 years now of weight lifting and just wrote my own routine/program recently. While it wasn't hard and I feel it's probably fairly decent, I wouldn't mind having something to generate one for me, plus considering all the options it has. And the price, IMO, is very reasonable ($5/mo for a year, at the normal price). Thanks for having a sponsor that isn't just junk.
This is really nice to hear, thank you for sharing dude! All the best with the app :)
Great video, keep up the good work!
Thank you! :)
oh, I forgot to say, another absolutely brilliant video.
Thank you my friend!
Great video 🤓
Thank you!
Thanks you for you hard work
great video as always 👌
Thank you my friend!
Excellent report as usual 👌 👏 👍. My personal experience has been, the best for me ever were the machines of Arthur Jones, they were outstanding.
Great research. Thanks
Thank you for checking it out!
As always an excellent video without bias. I do believe that more stable exercises are going to be superior to less stable one even if that superiority is subtle when it comes to optimizing hypertrophy but I don't think anybody can disagree with anything you said that.
Thank you my friend! :)
💯💯💯💯
Thank you for another great video! I have been bodybuilding for over 20 years and totally agree with everything. When COVID-19 first hit in my area and we could not go to the gym I purchased loop resistance bands to work out at home, despite being leary about their use. I think it might have been the different stimulus, but certain muscle groups actually grew more from band training.These days I use barbells, dumbbells, machines and resistance bands, depending on the exercise or injuries I am training around. I understand they each have their limitations, but can also work very well for the right person in specific circumstances.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing!
the best program includes ALL of these modalities at various points
Squad 🔔
Haha, always great to see you dude!
@@HouseofHypertrophythanks bro. Always great seeing a vid from you. I see you uploaded one before Monday.haha Nice.
Haha, yep, I finished editing it early :)
Could you do a video on isometric training? As you might know, there are a few products claiming isometric exercise can produce more strength and as much hypertrophy as other modalities in much less time. I have only been able to find a few related studies, including one by NASA where they found it maintained muscular tone/strength in space the same as resistance machines, but then dropped it from use by the astronauts.
We appreciate all the work and thought that go into every video you make. Keep up the great work!
Thank you my friend, and I do plan to have more information on isometrics at some point!
@@HouseofHypertrophy it's always the training model that causes the biggest fights. "Bruce Lee used it!". I would really love to see where it lands on the curve, as an older lifter.
100k subs! 👏 👏 👏
Thank you :)
Going to have another 30 minutes of chilling and learning.
Haha, hope you enjoyed the video dude!
Fantastic as always. Thank you :)
No problemo, thank you for checking it out!
Great video, although I will point out in relation to bands you can make them work RE: tension and stress on the muscle in both the eccentric and concentric, so long as you're mindful of whats going on and train smart and adapt, such as with the bicep curl used as example in the images you can do a variation of 21's(or even just partials) as with bands you have the option of gripping them at different points to control how much tension at the bottom of the movement and control the range of motion re partials
Resistance bands are great to use with weights if training at home to make the most out of light weights
Thank you for your excellent content!
I am definately looking forward to the ultimate guides :D
Will also give the Alpha Progression App a look.
Thank YOU for the kind words and the support!
Barbells are simple, heavy in nature, weight can be adjusted and you train 2 limbs at the same time. Plus, the barbell is thick, therefore results in having stronger grip.
Would like to see you dive deep also on isometrics and how effective they are.
I will cover this :)
When using resistance bands you're supposed to pre stretch them by either stepping further away from door you have attached to, or if under foot or platform grabbing bands further down rather than just from the top of the bands before starting said exercise, therefore you absolutely DO have tension throughout the entire range of motion, as well as bands pulling back on you so that there absolutely IS also eccentric load as well and not just lose band with no resistance during eccentric portion of exercise, plus adding resistance is as easy as continuing to grab lower and lower on bands and or then graduating to a stronger band once one you're using is no longer able to be prestretched any further, then just do same thing with the next biggest band, grabbing that one lower and lower as you progress and then again there IS tension throughout entire range of motion as said before as well as ability to progressively overload as also said before, you're using bands completely wrong if using way it was demonstrated here in video
Thank you!
I am training with machines only for i have no spotter yet . But i will use all the methods discribed here in the years to come
Could you consider putting your episodes on podcast platforms for those of who set new year resolutions to use TH-cam less?
There are some resistance bands that have high tension from the moment you pull the slack out of them and the tension doesn't vary that significantly. It all depends on the material you use. For example 80kg at the bottom of a squat up to 100kg at the top of a squat with a band I feel is okay.
Oh, I did not know this. I guess I overlooked this, my apologies!
I have been looking for something like this without luck, do you have any material/brand names? Thanks.
For Bands there are somethings to consider:
1. Progressiv overload with resistance-bands is not a problem. You can pick stronger ones and also combine them, also you can add more reps/sets as you wish or need.
2. The potential drop at the eccentric phase could also happen with every other tool (probably except heavy load besides its an accident) when you train with bands you have to focus on constant tension and TuT as with all other modalities.
3. The variable strength curve is exellent for our joints, by deloading the weaker stretched part, where our joints are the most vulnerable to getting heavier the further we go. Arthur Jones was a big believer in variable resistance as youself quoted here. Which is perfectly given.
4. The stretched position is also getting more and more loading as we progress, also you can train to failure until you meet partial reps.
5. You can modify your band loading by prestretching and changing angles very easily.
6. If used to muscle exhaution and further and further smoking your muscle fibres your muscles will close and a kind of occlusion training will kick in in the last reps or atleas as long as you can give the muscle any work, which will further improve metabolite stress.
7. A highly mobile tool to train literally everywhere.
So we have Occlusion Training, joint friendlyness, deep tissue fatique slow and fast twitch fibres, nearly infinite overloading capability, the possibility to easily modify TuT, prestretched positions, and partial reps.
Excellent ❤😮😊
Thank you my friend!
Why not use them all? I adopted a hybrid training style many years ago. I use all forms of resistance, different rep schemes and other protocols. It’s called variety in training, nothing magic like periodization just variety. Many times I use dumbbells, machines, bands and body weight for the same muscle group in a workout. It’s all about tension and overload. How you do it is more about preference and variety.
Yep, combining them can certainly be complementary and a great way to train!
Hi could you make a video on sprinting/running? Some people claim if you incorporate it into your training the right way it can boost gains.
I'm not sure there's any solid reserach on this unfortunately. For trained individuals, I'm very skeptical it would benefit hypertrophy. If anything, it could intefere with recovery and the amount of volume you could attain with weight training
Just move and keep moving
Could you please do a video on stamina and endurance? Or have I overlooked a video?
What specifically are you interested in? Like maximizing muscular endurance with a certain exercise?
@@HouseofHypertrophy more like building strength endurance. All though I’m no where near an expert on endurance at all so I may not know the differences
Regarding bands. Tension at the beginning of the movement can be achieved by simply pre-stretching the band.
In addition, partial reps at the end of the set in the lengthened muscle state can be made, or indeed, an additional separate set of partial reps in the lengthened state with a heavier band.
Bands and tubes have been a revelation for me, and I'm getting great results. But you must know how to use them.
Thank you for this, brother! 🙏
I try to involve all training stimuli in my training.
But at 27:05, let me assure you: such a difference is impossible 🤭 I myself am a hemiplegic patient (the complete left side of my body is “paralyzed”/spastic), which means I’m not allowed by the doctors to train my spastic side cause that would result in even more spasms, so I only train my right bicep, and believe me when I say: it’s not that drastic as it is in the picture 😅 You can see there’s a difference, but it’s not THAT noticable :)
PS: I do train my left tricep too though, as well as chest and back, so my bicep will automatically grow even a small bit 💪
This is very interesting, thank you so much for sharing brother! 🙏
nice educative vid man... would like to see your workout clips and your progress..
Thank you my friend! I personally want to keep this channel just as animations. I'm anonymous :)
@@HouseofHypertrophy 😄...
Very good information. I primarily use DBs and cable machines. Other than pullups, bodyweight just doesn't work for me and I strongly dislike using bands. BBs come in handy for RDLs.
Awesome, I wish you continued gainz!
So my takeaway is to just rotate between barbell/ez-bar and dumbbells every week or month to get the results you want. And being wary of a few muscles you might need machines or a good ceiling to develop properly.
The best training mode is BEAST MODE! 👹
You are a flippin legend my man🫡
Haha, thank you :)
What i should use to keep my power on training for long time
FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!
Thank you! :)
I train with machines because I'm too lazy to re-rack weights.
I agree about the possible limitation of bands but there are other types of bands without a handle and You can shorten Your grip (gripping them in the middle f.ex) thus increase the tension.
Resistance bands/tubes and bodyweight excercise can complement each other actually to overcome the overload problem.
Tubes are actually better for training since they are less flexible than bands and more durable. Also pre-streching the tubes gives resistance from the start of the movement and a light free weight can be added too to even out the curve. If one combines these three solutions then you overcome the weakness of resistance tubes. Also only one *long* fairly light tube is needed since you can increase the resistance by doubling the band. This not only doubles the amount of tubes you have to push/pull but also shortens the tubes lenght by half, quadrupling the resistance.
Thank you for sharing dude, very interesting!
It seems there is an effective strategy to general exercise, (# of reps to near failure over a week), and that your exercise type then is primarily preference based. It’s easy to find muscular people in every modality.
Yep, I think that's a fine way to look at it :)
All studies presented have a duration of weeks, not years. Do weight training and body weight training give the same results in hypertrophy after 3 years? That is the question for many.
FWs are more versatile, cost-effective and easier to store/upkeep, but the fact remains that machines are inherently better than FWs because they maximize stability.
Maximum stability --> Maximum force transfer --> Maximum yield to the target muscles. The more you destabilize an activity, the more you trade out stimulus of primary muscles to accessory muscles. It's like eating less chicken so that you can eat more rice to get your protein in. Makes no sense.
Not only this, but machines also safer without question.
"buT AthLeteZ NeeD TO uSe FWs"
No, there's is no skill transfer of resistance training to whatever activity the athlete performs unless it's literally a powerlifter that must get better at squat, bench and DL.
Hey house of hypertrophy, have you thought about using the summary parts as clips for your other channel? They basically are the same thing right, or are you already doing that?
I'll potentially do this :)
GUMBO! A little of everything.
That certainly is a fine method :)
Hypertrophy is nice but not to be confused with fitness. I used to train just with machines, and I got great results in terms of hypertrophy and ability to use heavier machine weight settings. I would train all winter consistently, but come late spring, a half-day working in the garden and I was sore all over! How does that happen when I do full body weight workouts 3 times a week for months? The problem with machines is that they lock you into a very specific motion and your body adapts to that specific motion. Once you deviate from that just a bit, your muscles aren't adapted to that. So, I changed to dumbbell workouts as much as possible. It was much harder, but better since the dumbbells allow full range of motion without being locked in to a narrow movement. The result was that I could engage in any activity outside the gym without becoming sore, and I had much better fitness.
I still use some machines for lifts that are hard to effectively do with dumbbells, but I go to dumbbells for everything else.
Interesting 🧐.
The principle of specificity is certainly important!
You dropped this 🤓
I do EVERYTHING😐 Barbells/Dumbells/Machines in the Gym and Bodyweight/Bands in home and work.
Awesome stuff, I wish you continued gainz!
The prophesied one.
I feel that high reps (over 17) tires you out before you can get to failure. In other words, you run out of gas respiratory wise before you’re muscles hit failure. So in that case failure isn’t muscular failure, making that set less effective for hypertrophy. For this reason it seems the rep range of 8-12 is better for hypertrophy
There is another way., get some resistance bands and use them for a few weeks and see what happens. That's what I intend to do.
If the last 7 years of TH-cam has taught me anything it's that people who do muscle videos are like drunk football fans arguing who the best RB in history is.
Its Barry Sanders btw
If you are trying to be a body builder or training for a specific sport, then I can't say much.
But if you are just trying to have a strong healthy body, nothing beats the barbell. It allows you to train multiple muscles at once with single compound movements. And these movements are quite realistic daily movements. And its very easy to measure progress. If you are lifting heavier weights, you are progressing.
You just need 4 or 5 compound barbell exercises to target all of the muscles in your body. Its so much easier.
Resistance bands without a doubt are the best way to build an upper back I have found
Interesting to hear that, I wish you continued gainz!
Plate loaded machines, Dumbbells, and cables. I don’t use anything else.
Excellent video, but I don't agree with your criticism on resistance bands when it comes to the eccentric movement. The same could be said for free weights or even machines. Crap technique shouldn't be a criticism of the tool used. Also, progessive overload isn't really an Issue. I'm doing 200+ lbs excercises without issue.
When it comes to load at a stretched muscle position, bands do have a disadvantage, but it can be mitigated somewhat by adjusting the resistance and pre-stretching the band. Is it optimal? No, of course not, but neither is most of what we do in a gym.
Resistance bands and cables help to pull weight down. Barbell and dumbbell don't have resistance on that direction.
Yeah, but I can't see any real mechanism by which this alters hypertrophy outcomes. Simply delibrately controlling the eccentric can be done with any modality :)
@@HouseofHypertrophy wouldn't it help with building strength in certain ranges of motion?
pure facts
:)
But what about vibrating plates and these electrocution machines?!🤣
