i read this book where the author spoke highly of overloading. overloading basically means lifting as much weight as you can possibly lift in the 4-6 range. he says its basically (ideally) 85% of your 1 rep max. so ive been doing it in every single workout and i gotta say, i have never felt as strong. im relatively new to building muscle since most of my workout experience has been about losing weight so i would like some input from some more experienced guys.
basically, the author says any other forms of sets/reps are just bs and that the only way to get truly bigger and stronger is overloading. now, while i definitely have gotten ALOT stronger, i dont see much muscle coming in.
what other set/rep formulas have u guys followed that have given u guys great fast results? i hear about all these other number combos like 5/3/1 and 8/8/8 but everything gets mixed reviews. keep in mind my main goal is stacking as much muscle onto my 6'3 frame as possible before next summer.
