Today we are going to finally settle this battle between training for strength and training for size. I will go over all the differences, so for example the difference between reps and sets, rest periods, exercise selection, training frequencies, and nutrition. So you can make and educated decision if you want to train for strength or size. No matter which way you decide to go, you have to consider your own goals first. You have to enjoy what you are doing, thats the most important thing!

I started training first for physical strenght, was always that skinny girl. But now I'm addicted to training because I noticed the mental strenght I get from it. I feel so much stronger! Love it. ❤ Also your videos!! 😎

I train Mentzer style. He clearly attempted to mix both strength and size gym routines to gain the maximum amount of results from training. I do 3 different sets (usually 3 myo sets) for each major muscle group while resting a lot like the strenght split, however i aim for the 6-10 reps mark usually on machines/cables for the hypertrophy part. Seems to work well....

I tend for prioritize strength while still doing some hypertrophy sets. My legs are big and strong as hell, i’ve been heavy my entire life, so I only train legs for strength, but for shoulders I’ll start with heavy shoulder press and end with rear delt and lateral raises to grow em. I actually do train 6 times a week 😂 but half are just strength and half are hypertrophy My uncle is actually an olympic powerlifter, just learned about him last week, so i’m going to have him build me a better split for my goals

Both sends different signals to stimulate adaptations to the weight carried. Good form while testing limits can add significant growth. I always felt doing a hybrid & adding a few flexibility features can really add lifespan to how much work you can put efficiently. Think of Uncle Joey having to bring fridges up to apartments every day. Its cool if he lifts it once, but having to lug that shit daily is gonna need everything health and fitness gives to squat and lift an awkward appliance to balance before placing it down without chucking it forthright. Train to how functional you want to be in your future & enjoy the size and strength you get along the way 💪 😀

I find this very interesting, I have been training for 12 years. Initally I was very skinny and I have a hard time putting on weight even fat is very hard for me. My best results for getting bigger has come from lifting heavy with fewer reps, when doing traditional bodybuilding for mass eith higher reps it simply does not do as much as when Im doing between 3-8 reps.

@SortoMario89 4 ай бұрын

I’ve always focused on training for strength for building size. The stronger you are the faster you and larger will grow when it comes time to put on muscle, however if you train for size first sure you will grow faster at first but plateau faster as well. Once again how I’ve always trained over the years, you will plateau while building strength. That’s when it’s time to build size and before you know it not only did you build size but because of the size you have become stronger and broken the plateau. At that point i focus on strength and repeat.

training for size. i don't want to be huge, but i do what to have a nice balanced aesthetic physique. you know, the V taper, broad shoulders, back, chest, narrow waist, strong legs. that whole thing. but it's extremely tricky developing the right balance for all of your body parts. especially when you find something like the back or side of your shoulders aren't keeping up with the front. or when your upper chest is there, but not as developed as your lower chest.

@wiktordembkiewicz4763 4 ай бұрын

Hmm, my training plan is a bit different. I train compound movements for strength, such as benching with 5x5 or 4x8, and the same goes for squats and deadlifts. However, for all the other movements, I aim for the 8-12 rep range. I adopted this approach mainly because I focused solely on hypertrophy for one and a half years, and now I want to build more strength in bench, squat, and deadlift just for fun, as I find it enjoyable.

Question: I'm currently training for strength, I'm in high school, weigh 180 lbs, and I'm doing running related sports. I want to switch to size, but I think strength might be better for sports. Should I wait until after high school, or should I switch now?

@aescoss 4 ай бұрын

Running sports are very different than the gym for this, as you're actually moving rather than staying in place so often. There's no much question of speed or acceleration in the gym, while you do have a balance between your weight and strengh in running: your movement is relative to the resisting force with the ground, you're not just extending the body: Too much weight, your endurance will drop quickly while going fast. Too much strengh and unsufficient weight, you will run far but not that fast. Depending of what running category you're in, you might find the better balancing for you, you need to mix both. There's no marathonian of 100kg, and there's no sprinter of 50kg.

Hey Trainer Winny Sir, I wanted to convey my problem Recently its been 2 months in gym for me(before that I was only doing home workout for years i.e Bodyweight Exercise) After watching your video on PPL, I decided to follow that regime, and started to gain muscle as well as lose body fat(I run 2.5km everyday at 10km/hr) But the problem is that many people from nowhere start to advice me, I don’t get manipulate easily but somehow their talk remains in my mind, Suddenly one will say stop PPL, its not effective do Bro split, then someone else will come and say the vice versa! Then another will say you got huge muscle imbalance do this do that, then someone else will say everything is alright Someone will say eat more you won’t gain fat, some say eat properly or you will gain fat again I AM LITERALLY TIRED MASTER, what should I do?

You're a beginner. PPL is great for you, as well as fullbody. If you want to do bro split you also can. Do the one you prefer and the one thatvd make you train for a long period of time. Consistence is really what will get you somewhere. Also, try to avoid injuries. They sucks.

This channel is very good to learn the basics. I would recommend you watch his video about the upper lower split and try to go to a gym but, if you cant do that you can still get jacked from home with push-ups and variations, pullups or negative/assisted pullups if you cant do one yet and also high rep bodyweight squats and nodic curls.

@goooooog 6 ай бұрын

you can choose basically any exercises as long as you do it properly (there are a lot of videos on his channel for beginners) but with your bodyweight and height you need to focus A LOT more on eating as that 45kg at 172cm is dangerously underweight

Very good but powerlifting adds a press command so it’s more of a shorter pause rep vs a touch and go. Also your other lifts matter so you might have shorter arms and thus be able to pull less on dl. What is your total?
