I watched this video like a week and a half ago and it must have triggered something subconsciously. I'm trying to rebuild my life right now and I wrote "start now" on the back of my bedroom door. Sure enough, I am starting to workout again--not because I want to be like the models, but because I want to feel good about myself. Thank you for that!

building muscle. To build muscle, a range of 8-12 reps is needed. Anything more and you are just increasing muscle endurance and strength but will see little actual muscle growth. Anything less will also see mostly just increases in strength with little muscle growth. If strength and fitness is what people want, then it's cool, but if visible mucle gain is what they want then 8-12 is about right. Keep up the good work though, whatever works for you, I just thought I'd add my thoughts.

The deadlift is one of the excercises that is capable of releasing large amounts of hormones into the bloodstream and is also one of the most difficult, using around 80% of the body's entire muscle. I guess it just depends on how hard somehow is willing to train - but building muscle takes many years and a lot of will power. Push-ups won't build much muscle, you can't increase the poundage and when you start being able to do 30 or 40 t's pointless because you are then out of the rep range for

Your body is basically a machine - it knows what it's capable of and if you stop short of pushing it to it's limit, it will not see the need to build muscle. You have to sqeeze every last rep right out, most people just stop whenever they start to feel a bit of a burn and pushing past this limit is what builds real muscle. Also, doing compound excercises increases hormones and testosterone in the body which help to build more muscle.
