What happens if I reach 1/2/3/4 and instead of changing to another routine, I simply up the rep counts using the same weight?

Like
3x5 135lb OHP on week 1
3x6 135lb OHP on week 2
3x7 135lb OHP on week 3
Etc.

What results should I expect?

bump

Slower strength gains, more hypertrophy. At 1/2/3/4 you can be stronger than 90% of the people at some gyms, so if you want to get a bit bigger maybe it's a good idea for you.
>>
>>38396949
the result you should expect is stalling and not being able to do the extra reps. just because you make a plan on paper doesn't mean it will work in real lift.
>>
>>38396949
The distance between yourself and your race will get bigger.
>>
>>38396949
get bigger and stronger but perhaps not as optimally as possible

So my strength on my current lifts will improve while increasing muscle size is what I'm getting.

But I think that the jumps are too big

Should be
3x5 on week one
3x6 on week three
3x7 on week six
3x8 on week ten

Etc
I'm getting close to 1/2/3/4 and I want to be a Guinea pig

Kind of new /fit/izen here
What is 1/2/3/4? Is it relative to bodyweight?

no, that won't happen. you will not be able to do 3x6 with a weight you just did 3x5 with if that 3x5 was even remotely near your limit. the only way your plan will work is if you decrease the weight to something you can do all the extra reps with, but then you're no longer on a linear progression and you're doing some really slow, weird periodization.

>What is 1/2/3/4?
1 plate = 60kg press, 100kg bench, 140kg squat and 180kg deadlift

>Is it relative to bodyweight?
no, it's just babby's first strength goal regardless of bodyweight. if you're strongly against gaining any sort of muscle mass it will be harder to reach, of course, but that's what you get for handicapping yourself.
>>
>>38397092
The amount of plates on the bar for your Press/Bench/Squat/Deadlift

It really doesn't mean anything
>>
>>38397123
>regardless of bodyweight
Hate to break it to you, but a guy weighing below 85kg will have a harder time hitting those than one weighing above. If you weigh above 90kg I would expect those from you as the absolute bare minimum.
>>
>>38397108
actually accoding to some 1rm calculators i just tested, it's easier to add another rep than is it to add 5 lbs if you are doing 135x5 by like 1 or 2 lbs
>>
>>38397066
Drop the load 10-20% and do 3x something with that weight. Then you might be able to add one rep to the 135 lb sets every second week.
>>
>>38397206
It doesn't matter if you weight 70 or 100 kg, you should be able to hit these within a year.
That's why he said "babby's first strenght goal", because they are not impressive numbers.
Hell there are 120lbs grills totalling 975 lbs out there wich is 30 lbs than 2/3/4, ffs.

Agreed, give or take a couple of months.

good
>that bench
lmao
>sumo
lmao

>>38397206
hate to break it to you, but those are easy to achieve for any young male. how much you should weigh as a minumum depends on your height, but a lifter should weigh more than average for his height. if he doesn't he'll have problems reaching any sort of strength goal.
