If you wish to construct twice the muscle, you’ll want to begin together with components in your coaching the place you utilize half the load. On this video, I’m going to point out you the right way to construct extra muscle mass with lighter weights. This isn’t nearly lifting gentle nevertheless. As an alternative, it’s about understanding with heavy weights and light-weight weights on the similar time. Let me clarify.
The method proven right here is known as offset loading. I show it on a few of the extra well-liked exercises like shoulder presses, aspect lateral raises, bench press, tricep extensions, dumbbell curls and lunges. The important thing idea is that you just need to use dumbbells of differing weights to carry out your units. Typically, you select the heavy weight (that is the same as what you’d use in your 8-10 rep max on the train) and a lighter weight (equal to half of what the heavy weight was).
The main target then turns into on how you progress these dumbbells by area as you carry out every of the exercises. The primary apparent good thing about this nevertheless is the impact this can have in your core. With one aspect being a lot heavier than the opposite, your core muscle groups must contract strongly to maintain your physique upright and never tilting to at least one aspect. This happens even on the exercises that you’re laying down on just like the dumbbell bench press.
That is simply the bonus nevertheless, because the main focus right here is on utilizing this lifting method to construct extra muscle. So, the following possibility you’ve is in how you’re going to elevate the weights. Typically, you’ve three decisions. You’ll be able to both elevate the lighter weight at a slower velocity to maintain tempo with the heavier weight or elevate the heavy weight at a quicker velocity to maintain up with the quicker touring gentle weight. Every of those can have a special impression in your coaching that it would be best to pay attention to.
First, let’s talk about the sunshine weight transferring slower. That is nice for if you need to educate your muscle groups extra management. Muscular management and command is a key factor of hypertrophy. It not solely calls for extra time beneath pressure on the working muscle groups however it’s an asset that pays dividends in hypertrophy as witnessed with the legs of a male ballet dancer or olympic gymnast. Each of those athletes characterize the epitome of muscle management.
By having to gradual the lighter weight down, you’re forcing your physique to turn out to be extra deliberate the the muscle contraction occurring within the goal muscle.
You’ll be able to choose as an alternative to try to maneuver the heavier weight at extra explosive speeds, to that of the lighter dumbbell. That is an unbelievable solution to faucet into extra Sort II muscle fibers and work on the quick twitch fibers to elicit hypertrophy and muscle features. Once you add the factor of elevated velocity of contraction, you’re engaged on energy. The extra highly effective you turn out to be, the stronger you get and the larger you get in nearly each occasion. Do that if you happen to aren’t accustomed but to coaching for energy and you’ll discover a fast burst in dimension features.
The third possibility is one the place you may get very deliberate with the motion of the load to isolate and burn out the goal muscle. This includes taking what would have been your lighter weight and making it your “heavy” weight after which chopping that weight in half to turn out to be your gentle weight. Right here you carry out every of the exercises listed above with a really gradual tempo and a really outlined contraction.
You’ll be amazed at how heavy a weight begins to really feel if you use this system. The cool half is nevertheless that you will discover that because of the neurological wiring of our our bodies, the heavier weight will be taken alongside for the trip and lifted with this similar degree of effort simply by lifting them collectively. You’ll be able to see this demonstrated on the aspect lateral raises after which utilized to any of the exercises.
The bottom line is, if you need to construct muscle quicker it’s a must to use some completely different coaching strategies and get severe about your workouts.

But seriously, if I accidentally slow my movements (tut) to slightly longer or less long each workout (by about 1-2 seconds), would that mess up my gains and count as training inconsistency? I sometimes count too fast because I'm focusing on form, but I'm not seeing results early on here because sometimes the tut is not exactly at the target 6 seconds for some of my exercises. Does it matter?
Would holding a weight in one hand deliver a similar response, aka, a 1-arm chest press or do you think you need to hold a dumbbell in both?
His bone marrow produces muscle fibres and not blood
I am struck with few pairs of dumbbells (A pair of moderately heavy) and some light ones …😁 I was ignoring anything related to light weights till now
Saw it in a meme so I'm here
his veins got gains
He didn't explain if you swap the dumbbells the next set? Also, I still don't clearly understand the advantage of this type of training.
Been watching since 2013 Jeff.
I'm constantly amazed at how much value, and much I learn from you.
Heaps grateful mate.
Good info
Nice have to really count though to balance volume on each side
I’ve done this for a month, but I didn’t know I was supposed to switch sides. Now I’m ripped on one side and skinny on the other…
he has the control because his veins balance the weight out
Can you do a glutes sore in 6 video?
Question: If you do one set with a 4 lb weight in right hand and an 8 lb pound weight in the left hand, do you have to another set with the 8lb weight in the right hand and the 4 lb weight in the left hand?
Is there a benefit if I contract the muscle fast and extend slow?
No
How does this video not have more views? Such an incredible video!!! Another great job Jeff!!
Why are you always flexing abs
I allot myself 2 hours of computer time eaach day. Much of it is spent on this channel. DJust knowing the variety of exercises takes away all excuses for not going. Can't have too much knowledge. Will do more of thesse. I now do farmer's walks with heavy in one hand but nothing in the other. Is there an advantage wiwth lighter weights in the other?
I dont understand a thing. I will be back when i can 🙁
Can I use it if I have muscle biger than muscle
This is for advanced lifters right?
Ive never seen that .. Ill give it a shot
That looks like total nonsense… your body has a strong side and a weak side… boxers are either Orthodox or southpaw… sometimes ambidextrous… your eyes are the same you have a strong eye and you have a weak eye… ever try aiming a gun!
Brilliant!
For the super pos/super negatives are you still offset loading or are the weights the same? Say you have 30 on the left and 20 on the right, when you are done should you immediately switch?
Swinging the damn things all over the place. Lol
2:51 wow! I didn't know that
Great actually but I have a question here. Assume that I started with the heavy weight on the right hand and the lighter one on the left side, then I would switch. Doesn't that make it destructive for muscles on the side which started with the heavy weight (in this case: the right side)?
Do you have to alternate sides during sets?
Question, I was told by a surgeon I need total joint replacement in left shoulder. I can still use it as is . Can I strengthen the muscles to a point I don’t need surgery.
The most muscularly proportional ballet dancers and gymnasts are short stature mesomorph body types. It's hard NOT to be muscular when you are short, and much more difficult when tall. Good advice however, as usual.
I have a walking lunge circuit. I will try this with off setting the weight. Lunge, calf raises, bicep curls, shoulder press. Im start with 15lb & 25 dumbell.
That's some mean vascularity right there
At one point do you switch them over? ie. heavy on left, lighter on right then which set light on left and heavier on right? How many reps and sets? 4?
leave 1 hand empty, in case you need to support the other hand and you get the same effect of overloading 1 side…and no weird looks cuz of using 2 different weights…
Man he is awfully lean!!!! he looks like he’s well below 8 percent bodyfat. I would say he could be as low as 5 percent bodyfat.
Jeff, how old are you?
so the next set you swap over with the light and heavy side?
What about the muscle inbalance?
Hii Jeff I just want to know isn’t one side of the body going grow bigger than the other…?
If you speed up the heavier weight… aren't you just using your body's momentum rather than strength to lift?
I'm deffinetly trying this out.
I've been watching for along time and almost all your videos are for gaining mass.
-what's the key to strength training?
jeff i do 5 different excercises for body parts how many sets would you recommend ,im not worried about reps just sets,thanks ,great videos
cliff notes, on every video ffs
Jeff, Do u recommend having the same amount of reps per side. At what point do u switch? After reps or at sets?
