Or is it all myth and a set and rep combination gets someone the same results overall, given two people doing equivalent effort and the only meaningful variables are the sets and reps being done with a particular weight and changing the resting time doesn't change the results someone gets after a few months to a year or more of doing this?
I've seen this one beginner workout scheme as follows:
Endurance: 3 sets of 12 to 20 reps, 30 to 45 seconds of rest. To improve your endurance, you basically need to force yourself to resume working out after only a short period of rest, and keep doing that to the best of your ability, gradually either inceasing reps or shortening your rest period. Lighter weight is typically used because so many reps are required but with far more limited rest time, so no one can do it if the weight used is too heavy. Its said to be very brutal in terms of discomfort, and to not get you ripped per say, but it unquestionably improves your stamina or ability to push through strain over time- if this works. Is perhaps similar to military training.
Muscle Growth: 3 sets of 6 to 12 reps, 60 to 90 seconds of rest. To improve muscle growth, you need fewer reps and longer rest but heavier weight. Enough rest should enable muscle fibers to heal more which should facilitate larger muscles over the long term if your nutrition is good.
Strength: 6 sets of 3 to 5 reps, 2 to 4 minutes of rest. To get more strength, you allegedly need even heavier weight but much fewer reps and more resting time, but more sets to counterbalance the relatively low amount of reps you're doing.
Power: 6 sets of 1 to 3 reps, 3 to 5 minutes of rest. To train power, use the heaviest weight you can bear to sustainably lift, but only do up to 3 reps. It's meant to push your limits, because it exerts so much effort, you need few reps but more rest when doing this, but more sets are done to make up for the lower amount of reps.
In theory, you can train all of these attributes each day or to train only one or a combination of 2 or 3 of the 4 attributes aforementioned, and you can end up with wildly different physiques and capabilities, in accordance with what type of training you gave priority to.

by having low amount of body fat. That's it. You could neglect your core entirely and so long as you eating a deficit you'll get that there 6 pack. It'll be worthless and it won't even look good, but you'll get it.-Ocelot- wrote:How do you people achieve 6-pack? Do you exclusively eat eggs and tomatoes or something? I can't do it.

Sure they look good but that's it, and you wanna know what looks better? Going up a few pounds on the bench. That *feels* better, man.V A N Q U A R I A wrote:Kubra wrote: More or less.
Folks shouldn't care too much about a 6 pack, even a well worked one. There's only a few instances where you'd actually want them, like going down a weight category in certain contact sports. For the average lifter, it's enough simply that the core gets strengthened and holds its own during compound lifts, not that you flaunt it.
I disagree. Abs look good. Helps with girls 2

I think we're different people when it comes to working out then. I dont care about functionality, Im more about aesthetics. Natural aesthetics ofc. Maybe when Im a more mature adult then Ill realize functionality is more important than aesthetics but right now Im too horny to give a shit.
