Scott:
No, I indeed don’t want to gain much muscle mass!
So, to avoid hypertrophy, what level of tiredness should I aim for after 10 reps in Base training: should I theoretically be able to do another 2, 3, 4 reps? When I get to training Max strength, should your program of 4 reps per exercise leave me unable to perform a 5th to do a set, or should I have some reserve there as well?
I have gained some 3-4 pounds already during the last 8 weeks transitioning abd starting base training while NOT going to muscular failure (diet and work and the rest of my life have remained the same). Is it natural to gain some kgs, does that stop at a certain point during the training program? Is there a rule of thumb to find my optimum between getting stronger and getting too heavy?
Thanks, Harmen.
