Unconventional Lifting Tipsโฆ
No rep or set guidance here in this one just some outside the box lifting tips
๐ Manage your expectations
... First and foremost you're not going to look the way you want, have the strength you want or have the muscle you want as quick as you want it, manage your expectations, the biggest drop off for gym goers is that they think they will get results far quicker than possible
๐ Create habits
Habits make results, those small constant things done day in day out mount up, good sleep, tracking your food, having your protein etc. create winning habits
๐ Add weight to the barbell
Training is meant to be tough, keep on wanting to improve and add weight to the barbell but remember its a long game don't rush it small continuous steps
๐ Learn to be disciplined
If you really want results you have to be disciplined to put the work in
๐ Learn to squat
Very biased but the tools you learn when you squat high bar full range under control with weight will transfer, the spinal bracing you learn, the body awareness, the mobility that comes with full range squatting will transfer to other exercises

What Do You Do ๐ฉโ๏ธ
How Many Reps Do I Need To Do To Gain Muscle & Strength ๐ช
***Firstly remember to gain muscle you need to be in a calorie surplus***
***Secondly prioritising your recover will also have a hugely positive impact on getting bigger and stronger***
... How Many Reps per set ๐ช
Your options...
๐ช 1-5 Reps ๐ Develops maximal strength very well ๐ Highly fatiguing ๐ Compound lifts only ๐ Canโt accumulate a lot of volume in this range so not great for gaining size
๐ช 5-10 Reps ๐ Develops strength ๐ Fatiguing but with shorter recover time than 1-5 rep range ๐ Compound lifts only ๐ Can accumulate good volume in this rep range making it good for size gains
๐ช 10-20 Reps ๐ Not a great strength developer ๐ Less fatiguing than the 1-10 Rep range ๐ Can accumulate loads of volume in this rep range making it excellent for size gains ๐ Compound & Isolation lifts
๐ช 20+ Reps ๐ Not a good strength developer ๐ Least fatiguing ๐ Isolation lifts only ๐ Can accumulate a lot of reps in this range making it good for muscle size however a large part of the set is not very stimulating so unproductive for size gains
Overall
You can gain muscle from any rep range as long as you... ๐ Train close to failure ๐ Lift with good technique ๐ Keep adding weight to your lifts over time
You can get stronger across all rep ranges but if strength is your major goal lifting in the 1-10 rep range would be a priority
If size and strength is your goal a large part of your training should be in the 5-20 Rep range for a good mixture of heavy compounds and enough volume to cause growth

Do You Need A Cheat Meal ๐ฉ
First of all the pros & cons to a cheat meal
Proโs... ๐ Gives you a psychological break from your diet
๐ Thatโs really all the proโs to a single cheat meal
Conโs ๐ Slows down your progress, particularly if your where meant to be in a deficit
๐ Makes it harder to get back to your diet having just indulged and got the taste for โcheatโ food
Cheat meals are a big talking point in fitness but like most hype itโs all hype with not much substance
Often cheat meals give people an excuse to skip their diet to solve their cravings but realistically if youโre an average gym goer looking to lose body fat, gain muscle and youโre in the body fat of around 13-20% male 18-25% female itโs hard to justify why you โneedโ a cheat meal
If youโre craving a cheat meal itโs most likely your... ๐ Food timing ๐ Macro content ๐ Calorie target ๐ Food satisfaction (how full you are) ๐ Stress/sleep
Is off, rather than you needing a cheat meal or a boost in calories from a single meal
Having a cheat meal and not fixing the diet โproblemโ burying your head in the sand and not building long lasting habits (something you need to achieve you physique goals)
The majority of people CAN fit โcheatโ food into their diet with no problem
But...
Thatโs shouldnโt give you an excuse to blow over their calories and just say...
โDonโt worry itโs a cheat mealโ
Build long last habits with your diet that will get you results

Not getting the result you want from the gym can be very frustrating
Not getting results can be for a number of reasons
The main and obvious one is that if you're not getting the results you want
... You're not doing something rightโฆ
With so much information out there it is hard to know what is good information and what is bad information
Here a few things you need to do to start getting your results TODAY
Track your food, this is probably the main reason people don't get closer to their goals not putting the right/right amount of food in your body can keep you from gaining the muscle you want or the body fat you want to lose
Go to the gym and work hard, sounds obvious but often going to the gym can just be about the Instagram picture with the #grind tag with it when really no one was grinding through any reps that day
Stick to the bigger moments Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press & Rows pick a good rep scheme and start adding weight to the bar, training is meant to be tough, needless to say good technique is must
Recover, often really forgotten about but your recover is very important for you to make a change, the impact is has on your stress, hormones and your ability of your body to gain muscle or lose body fat
Recovery needs to be looked at as if where a training session, get sleep rest well and look after your body
Last but not least and you can probably guess itโฆ
Consistency & Adherence to the above for a long period of time
Getting results is a tough old slog, doing the right things for a long period of time is what gets you there
Finding it hard to get the results you want?
