I struggle to count past 15 so i usually aim for that.

[StrongandConditioned]

Speaking my language here brother. Thank you for the shout out as well. Extremely humbled! Hopefully your words get more folk on the burpee train!

[lilith]

Higher reps is not just about work capacity, it's also about having a strong mind to go through all the reps. It's tough

[EugeneMatlin]

Work capacity is truly the x factor. It's what takes your strength/ muscle gains and makes them actually applicable in the real world where you need to perform for longer than 45 seconds. Strength endurance is a bad word in bodybuilding but it really shouldn't be.

I've been working for a moving company for 7 years moving furniture in 100+ degree heat in the summer and moving heavy ass furniture sometimes over 10+ hours if they have a big house. I didn't realize until fairly recently how much it helped my work capacity and GPP . Combined with some beet root for nitric oxide and the rep PR's get crazy and I may only need 2-3 minutes rest tops between sets. Appreciate you not only preaching strength and muscle but overall being a healthy lifter!

I've always loved 20 rep db rows, bb rows, hack squats and leg presses, i just love that mental grind. Also, mountain biking is giving me insane work capacity

[GuillaumeLeValiant]

Higher reps are the key to continue our hypertrophy journey, while reducing the risks of injuries!

[benamitchell]

Congrats on 350k Alex!! Well deserved and thank you for all that you do for this community.

[SlickRieck]

The Iron Wolf shout out is legit - he walks the talk, a marine who does 1 hour of unbroken burpees, counting em out loud and doing them live. He's the reason I got fit enough to smash my BMQ.

[Fazlifts]

Yeah I don't think work capacity is talked about nearly as much as it should be. I made a video about full body training recently and discussed one of the main criticisms people have about full body which is that they feel it's just 'too much' per session to which my reply is that if people feel like it's too much, perhaps that's an indication that's what they need to work on! Solid message here as usual Alex 💪

[GoldenEraBookworm]

This is the same reason why Silver and Bronze Era Lifters were incredible athletes. They performed 20 rep squats, 20 rep deadlifts and 20 rep clean sets, for up to 4 SETS !! Talk about conditioning and incredible work capacity!

[Fitness_Lorenzo]

Looking back at my 2022 bulk
My best gains came from Oct - Dec.
that’s when I did 20+ reps for everything.
I was hitting :
225 deadlift for 30 reps
225 squat for 25 reps
185 chest press for 20 reps

I did a “5 second method”. When i thought I was at failure, I stopped for 5 seconds and then continued my set.

Even though I am experienced, my mind would tend to give up first. But with the “5 second method”, I was able to pass a lot of boundaries .

Would I do this again? Yes, and even better. It just takes A LOT of mental strength.

Getting used to High reps to faliure must be like becoming David Goggins.

[TheBcoolGuy]

That chest expander thing really is special. I have an old spenby and I do upper back extensions with it, which also works the tris, and it's a fantastic challenge. I'm at 14 reps with 2 springs. You're really strong.

[Sanfu]

Love the video. I’ve been watching and listening to a lot of David goggins and his book. Today I decided to try to hit 500 push-ups in one session pacing myself by starting with sets of 10 and 1 minutes rest intervals. It actually ended up being easier than I thought. It took 1:17:11 and I did 532 reps. My sets toward the end like the last 100 reps I was still hitting 8 reps per set. There is a lot to be gained mentally and physically through these high volume routines. I’m gonna go for a thousand on one of my days off.

[MF-D_BO]

Yo Alex just checking in I just wanted to say thanks for the messages over the years I just hit a 3 plate bench in my 2 years of lifting, feeling limitless 💪

[StrengthHacksCoaching]

I totallly agree with your points about the hypertrophy rep range. When I was doing a set of hamstring curls the other day I hit rep 31 and was thinking “hmm according to the science I’m not building muscle optimally anymore 🤡” The feeling I had in my hamstrings was saying otherwise.

Great video man keep em coming! My Leonidas Strong tee is on the way, I can’t wait to cut the sleeves off and wear it to hit some big PRs

[sonzai]

Hey big bro, we need to see your max pullups after those 73 dips 💪

[SaturnReturns]

Repping that 315 reverse bench off the safeties is just crazy...

[Derwynn]

Alex I can’t wait for your new books to come out I want to reinvent my programming. I feel like your new books will include a lot information I have learnt from your channel in 2.5 years I’ve been lifting, but I just want to let you know I’m really excited for them. Well done for achieving 350k subs, you’ve helped my life transform. I know you’ll hit 1m subs one day for a fact.
