Just do zero reps with infinite weight baka

Stop coming up with excuses and lift you faggot.

>>42754004
It's not an excuse. I already do crosshit and I'm just curious if it's worse on my body than what powerlifters put their bodies through.

>>42754126
At least powerlifting isn't gay.

Let me guess, you fags just go lift by yourself, headphones on, looking at the floor and anytime a bitch mires you you awkwardly smile back not fully knowing what to do.

>>42754387
>not going to the place that has the highest concentration of torn rotator cuffs and broken shins
Let me guess, you fags just go to a regularly priced gym and lift weights with strict form and rational rep ranges, and when a bitch smiles at you you don't even limp over and and wince at her.

>>42754126
Yes it is. Just shoot yourself in the head if you want a safer exercise than crossfit

>>42754387

Is crossfit really that bad? My gym has it and the people in it are in really good shape. I've never done it because I'm on a cardio-fast.

No. It's a pretty good form of HIIT training. Just don't use it as your only gym source.

>>42754805

it gets you in shape. the biggest issue with crossfit and the reason people make fun of them so much is they all get injured so often.

>>42753903
Neither with good form

>>42753903
training at higher intensities (% 1RM) is just inherently more damaging, you'll probably get more wear and tear and the chance of an acute injury is higher

>>42754126
if you want a safer alternative to crossfit, do snatches for time in a minefield

>>42754805

it isn't that bad if you keep track on certain exercises and don't do them, or take care to maintain proper form

like sdhp, high rep olympic lifts for time, or kipping pull ups

>>42754805
Nothing. Crossfit is perfect

What matters is that you train all body parts 2-3x per week and lift to fatigue on each set. There is scant evidence beyond this to support training in any given rep range. What makes logical sense to me is heavy weight is harder to maintain good form with and heavy weight results in more severe injuries when form breaks down. Some claim repetitive stress injuries on high reps but that's a bogus excuse you're not doing enough work for repetitive stress injuries like a person working 10 hours a day every day doing the same motions.

Yeah, so?

>>42753903
>low reps, heavy weights
More likely to have an acute injury that causes long term issues.

>high reps, low weight
More likely to have repetitive use injury or issues with tendons/ligaments.

So the answer is, don't lift at all. Stay on your couch eating Cheetos.

As for myself, I pretty much never lift above 90%, triples is about the lower rep ill do, even then its pretty rare. But I only train for my general fitness and health. I don't care if someone lifts more then me. I am not a power lifter or a bodybuilder or a Olympic weightlifter.

I usually workout in all rep ranges.
3x5 for my heavy lift of the day (usually around 85%
3x10 on a variation of a major lift, usually around 65%-75%
3x12-15 for accessories, usually 2-3 per workout session. Weight isnt a big deal, more about feeling the muscle with these, although I do record them so I can see how im progressing over time. I also rotate these every 2-3 weeks

>There is scant evidence beyond this to support training in any given rep range.

except for, you know, the many myoelectric studies that have established suggested rep ranges

"I don't know about" != "there is scant"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24714538

tl;dr - you can gain the same amount of muscle with 7x3 as 3x10, with the caveat that 7x3 is fucking crushingly difficult and everyone was burned out at the end, 3x10 was piss easy and everyone wanted to train more (and if they trained more like they wanted to and did more volume, they would have gotten even better results)

so we have at least one study that supports the idea that training with higher reps is more efficient for hypertrophy, as well as decades of anecdotal evidence/experiential learning by people lifting for size that has led to a clear trend for hypertrophy oriented routines to have higher rep ranges

>>42756578
All they establish is the differences aren't all they cracked up to be. What's going to matter most is variation, consistency and volume. Strength is one of the easiest things to maintain you can probably do less than one strength session per week.

>>42753903
Heavy is for strength
Low is for muscle mass

Just do fucking calisthenics. If you don't want to snap your shit you need a strong core. Stomach vacuums and crunch variations and glute ham raises every day.

Low weight, focus on bar speed and explosivity.

where are all the weightlifters with exploded knees?

Don't know how well it works for men, but for women the pyramid method gets you to build flexible strong muscles fast with better stamina.
15-20 reps at low rate full range of motion
10 reps at full weight with breathing in between.
5 reps at +5% full weight. Do for two weeks then increase weight.
