When on a hypertrophy routine, how exactly do you progress?

Lets take a random example. Say you are benching 100 pounds for 4 sets.

Set 1 = 12
Set 2 = 8
Set 3 = 7
Set 4 = 5

Now is the goal to keep going at the same weight till you get all four sets to 12 reps and then move up in weight?

I'm no expert on this matter, but what I do is a similar set pattern to what you posted, increasing weight each time.

So it'd be something like:

12x100
10x110~
8x120~
6x130~

Then try an extra set for as many reps as I can do at the top weight.

Stay within the 10-12 rep range. Move down weight if you need to in order to stay in that rep range.

if youre doing a hyp 4x12, it would look like 100x12, 95x12, 90x12, 90x12, not what you posted (staying in 8-12 atleast)

you start in hyp range and move to strength range

progress can be either by upping weight or increasing reps

hey you should try out 4 sets of 6 using a 3 second positive and negative, and work up to 10 reps, and lmk how it goes (if you are bulking)

vormav says for compounds he likes to use a consistent weight eg. 4 sets of 100 lbs for 12 12 11 10

for accessories you can go a little harder like 4 sets 60 lbs 11 reps 60 lbs 10 reps 55 lbs 11 reps 50 lbs 12 reps etc

yeah, but gotta stay in hyp range if hyp is the objective of the routine, 10-12 is fine, 5 is a bit odd

never said 5 reps =o just changing the weights to 55/50lbs in the 2nd example all 10-12 rep range when i was doing hypertrophy i'd go as low as 8, but I can't stand bodybuilding anymore, I enjoy powerlifting way more

I wish some of you would actually read what we post in the articles thread sometimes.
