Missed window of opportunity?

I know this guy in my gym who started with ss, hes grown but im bigger, i always did a hypertrophy routine, currently doing ppl and always 3x8-10. dont worry keep on eating big and training

>>34903731
do PPL with 3x5 or 5x5 on the compounds increasing the weight each time
also add in two or three accessory exercises


the biggest pitfall people make when doing PPL that makes it useless is doing it once a week
anything less than twice a week and you might as well not even bother

so long as you are slowly increasing your volumne from week to week and you're using that muscle group twice a week you'll get gains

I did do/am doing PPL 2x a week

>increasing the weight each time
>increasing your volumne from week to week

What if it takes longer than this to progress? I guess I am cutting

>>34904016
it all depends on the muscle group you're working
for the heavy barbell compounds i'd go 5x5 adding 1.25kg to each side when you complete the reps
once you stall a couple times go to 3x5, don't go under that because the total volume would probably be a bit too low

for muscle groups like rear delts, calves etc; where progress in weight is a lot slower and adding weight is a much larger jump it's not a bad idea to add an extra rep or two each time you do it
start with 4x8, next week 4x10, 4x12 then increase the weight and drop back to 4x8
or add in another set

all that matters, aside from eating and recovery, is the each week you are doing a little bit more than the week before

>each week you are doing a little bit more than the week before

Yeah everyone says this but what if you can't? Is dropping down and doing less reps while keeping the same wait really the best thing to do? Why not just keep pushing?

>Yeah everyone says this but what if you can't?
then you do it anyway
its fucking hard work if you don't want to do it then you won't get anything out of it
