I wonder if this is the same for strength rather than just hypertrophy (size).
Also worth bearing in mind established sets for hypertrophy were never that high. (3x8-12 typically). So is it actually just saying there's no point smashing 2 extra sets when tired?
Tempting to change to 3x a week for strength, but I really just don't have the time at the moment and not sure my body would recover with the cycling on top.

Still on the hunt

Hey all,
Got a secret santa present to give and rather than buying tat off amazon does anyone have anything good. Alternatively any ideas for where to get one online?
Budget is £40. Cheers!

Cheers... Yeah I'm a physio (not sports) and I discussed with a physio with loads of experience in high end sport. He said it's pretty much the only meniscus injury he wouldn't just ignore and pound the strength work.
I can't complain too much though because all I can't do is run (really at all without irritating it hugely) or do yoga positions like hero (knees fully bent with bodyweight on them).
Hence finding myself back in this thread. Long may I remain.
These were the treat to encourage me. Would fully recommend fractional plates to all, lovely to not have 1.25kg plates as the smallest jump, especially for things like overhead press.

Super envious of some of the numbers in this thread...
I'm slowly working my way back to strength. Sadly physio has said no deep squats as I have a lateral meniscal tear awaiting repair so pretty much the only time it's advisable to not hit depth.
Mobility, squats 3x5 110kg to 95ish degrees, 1x5x120 DL then same sumo DL, 3x5x52kg OHP, bent over rows, pull ups and tiny bit of core.
It's lovely slowly getting stronger and my bike sprint in the club ride has gone from my weakest to strongest point over the last year, it's massively noticeable.
Slightly sad that my VO2 is hardly increasing due to the muscle and creatine weight but hey ho

I picked up @ChasnotRobert 's gyuto from my cousin's house finally... Was slightly dull (from long term storage I imagine), but after <2mins on a whetstone with almost no practice its now 100x better than any other knife I own - big thanks!
Not sure about the Gyuto shape but definitely a convert to good quality Japanese knives. On the hunt for a similar quality Santoku / Bunto and a Naikiri now.
In love with the look of these Niwaki knives. Any others that are better value currently?

PMd!
Last ditch bump as the previous one seems to have fallen through and now too late to get anything posted.
