so what's the best number of sets / reps for hypertrophy ? (ie getting swole)
I tried 4 sets of 12 reps at 80% of my 1 rep max, but my muscles seems way less tired than when I pushed myself to failure, so which one is best?

is going to failure only useful for strength gains?

4x12x60%1RM

either roids or troll.

Whether the case, you don't need a serious answer

why troll ?
my 1RM is shit since I'm only begining anyway
>>
depends on if youre on gear or not and what body part
>>
>>36436913
not on gear
i'm mainly talking about upper body

if natty you should follow a powerlifting(ish) routine and focus on making as much progress on the big compounds as possible. optionally you can add some higher rep assistance work after the important exercises are done.

if not natty you can do a lot more sets and reps.

Power is "quick-strength" (the maximum amount of strength against a vector in the minimum time).

Rep range is mostly irrelevant. What matters most is the number of sets and then how close to failure you are, so basically more work = more hypertrophy.
