@snacks i'm deeply confused by a hundred hours of aim training does literally nothing but wall sits for a week results in being able to pick shit up off the floor fine

@snacks some of the stuff i read over the years said you shouldn't necessarily be sore. that means you broke something. some of the gigachads said the best is to pick up the heaviest thing you can and stop 1-2 reps before failure.
though it seems the lift every day folk run in to disagreement with their tendons, so. hm

@icedquinn i don't think i really changed anything when the doms stopped. It does seem to be a getting used to using those muscles more thing mostly.
Also, if your muscles hurt it's really nothing to worry about unless it's "muscle torn" kinda pain, just give it some rest. Muscles are some of the most regenerative cells somehow despite not being able to divide at all

@icedquinn also, just go to failure imo. How tf are supposed to consistently keep reps in reserve. Additionally, from what we know the reps close to failure are the only ones driving muscle growth

@snacks experience, or doing set amounts of reps, afaik.
the people lifting 500lb barbells aren't doing repmaxxing

@icedquinn if i get more than 10 reps in the first set i up the weight. If i can do 2 sets with the same reps i know i'm an idiot and didn't actually push hard enough.
I think it's just the simplest way and people get big like this too, but everyone prefers other stuff for hypertrophy. I'll never get what kind of masochism makes you prefer doing high reps over big weights tho, you're just fighting against your pain after 20+ reps

@snacks its because bodybuilding became a bimbo aesthetic and all the marketing pivoted to looking like a roided out arnold.
reps and steroids are how you look like a brick. push isometrics and 200lb deadlifts are how you look like a dad while picking up a building.

@snacks @icedquinn Of course muscle cells don't divide - otherwise you would be carrying around huge bloated muscles everywhere.
Muscles are repaired by myosatellite cells and a bunch of other things, that do divide - the result of healing is a bigger muscle cell, rather than cells of the same size (and thus the same strength, to replace it.
