pure mass? or mass/strength blend?

the idea behind pure mass is simple...you need to keep tearing the muscle fibers apart as much as possible and forcing their recovery faster and stronger than usual.

the only way to do this is PURE total exhaustion and failure at the gym...in conjunction with aggressive branch chain support, glutamine support, huge surplus nutrition, and 10-12 hrs of sleep a day. (with 1-2gal / water per day as well)

pretty much pure mass
so you're saying take most all sets to failure and even then drop set for more failure etc? im talking more about the training right now, i know to eat a ton and the sleep etc

i dont understand 2k calories for working out 6 days a week with hiit before and after weightlifting...

isnt that asking for catabolism?

yes. that is how to do it.

the more failures, drop sets, and forced reps you do...the more you tear the muscle fibers which ultimately leads to the maximum muscle size and volume (but not necessarily density)

negative. You are getting enough BCAA's, protein, and fats to prevent atrophe and catabolism.

You requested a proper CUT and this is how to do it. There is no such thing as a cut which would result in muscle gain...this cut simply PREVENTS/MINIMIZES as much muscle-wasting as possible.

i see thanks

alright.how much volume would you say to do per workout doing all those sets to failure? let's say you're hitting each body part once a week on a 5 day split

here's a sample routine for day 1:


Chest


Bench Press 5 sets breakdown/failure w. forced reps and cheating reps until failure

Incline Bench Press - same as above

Decline bench Press - same as above

Dumbbell flies - 5 sets pyramiding up, then 2 sets breaking down

cable flies 21's - 6 sets (3 to the middle, 3 from the bottom) all pyramiding up


At the very end of this routine, do one solid set of pushups until total chest failure



For the other muscle groups, do the same style

damn that's alot lol
anyways would you say dips are > decline bench though?
also what about the amount of reps per set? the 8-12 range?

Pullovers and Dips > decline bench, yes.
