Why is training important to you?

04/12/2025

Here’s why 👇

Mechanical Tension: When you lift heavy, you’re putting a lot of stress on your muscles.

This tension is exactly what tells your body, “Hey, we need to get stronger!” It forces your muscle fibers to adapt and grow.

Progressive Overload: Working in the 4-8 rep range makes it easier to steadily increase the weight you’re lifting.

Every time you add a little more weight, you push your muscles to adapt even further. It’s a simple, consistent way to get stronger over time.

Efficient Fatigue Management: Heavy, low-rep sets target your muscle fibers more directly, meaning you get a really effective workout without wearing yourself out with too many reps.

This way, you keep your energy up for every set and every workout.

While there’s nothing wrong with doing higher reps, if you’re aiming for efficient strength and muscle gains, prioritizing heavy sets in the 4-8 rep range can really elevate your performance.

Here’s what it looks like in practice 👇

- Lying T-Bar Row: 2 sets of 5-8 reps
- Incline Dumbbell Bench Press: 2 sets of 5-8 reps
- Lat Machine Parallel Grip: 2 sets of 5-8 reps
- Dumbbell Chest Supported Upright Row: 1 set of 5-8 reps
- Dumbbell Incline Bench Press: 2 sets of 5-8 reps
- Machine Seated Chest Press: 1 set of 5-8 reps
- Cable V-Bar Standing Tricep Extension: 2 sets of 5-8 reps
- Cable Standing Overhead Tricep Extension: 2 sets of 5-8 reps

Save this and give it a go for your next session

Here’s what the science says

When you pair cardio and strength back-to-back, your body gets confused.

The “interference effect

means your strength gains get watered down and your endurance progress stalls.

Your body can’t max out both adaptations at once.

There’s legit molecular-level competition for resources AMPK (cardio) and mTOR (strength) are basically fighting for the steering wheel.

Translation
You end up with two half-sessions instead of one solid result.

How to fix it if you actually want progress

Separate your sessions lift in the morning, condition in the evening (if possible).

If you HAVE to combine, always strength before cardio. Every time.

1️⃣ Mechanical Tension – The primary driver of muscle growth. Heavier loads in this rep range maximize tension without requiring excessive volume.

2️⃣ Lower Fatigue – Machines and cables offer joint stability and remove the need for heavy bracing. That means you can push hard locally without frying your CNS or joints great for frequency and recovery

3️⃣ Effective Hypertrophy Stimulus – Research shows training close to failure (1–2 RIR) in moderate-to-heavy rep ranges produces similar or better gains than high-rep sets with less fatigue

1. Machine Lateral Raise
• 2 sets x 5–8 reps @ 1 RIR
2. Machine Seated Chest Press
• 2 sets x 5–8 reps @ 1 RIR
3. Machine Seated Chest Fly
• 2 sets x 5–8 reps @ 1 RIR
4. Incline Dumbbell Neutral Grip Bench Press
• 2 sets x 5–8 reps @ 1 RIR
5. Seated Cable Row
• 3 sets x 5–8 reps @ 1 RIR
6. Cable Standing Overhead Tricep Extension (V-Bar)
• 2 sets x 5–8 reps @ 1 RIR

Why can’t you place a High Intensity session back to back with a heavy strength session?

21/10/2025

Easiest way to guarantee progressive overload each week

If your rep range is 5-8 reps, don’t just lift randomly in that range.

Start heavy and hit the low end first (5 reps).
Then each week, add one rep until you can get all 8 reps with control.

Once you do, increase the weight and drop back to 5 reps then repeat the process.

Example
Week 1 – 60kg x5
Week 2 – 60kg x6
Week 3 – 60kg x7
Week 4 – 60kg x8
Week 5 – 62.5kg x5 and start again.

Simple, trackable, and actually progress
