**Some tips from [[Pareto Analysis]] for hypertrophy** Spending the ==least amount of time for the most amount of effect==. Use the [[Pareto Principle]] to effect. 1. Do **fewer sets** -> You don't even need to hit the [[~10-15 Sets Per Week]] to get most of the benefit 2. Push yourself harder -> Most sets should be taken **near failure** 3. Use **dropsets** -> Go to failure, drop by ~25-50% and take that to failure too 1. Or extend that out multiple times - called [[Myo-Reps]] 4. Use **supersets** -> On different muscle groups, not the same. 1. e.g. [[Bench Press]] a set, then go do a set of [[Chin Ups]], then back to pull-ups. Very short breaks to catch your breath. 5. Do effective exercises -> [[Big 6 Exercises]] 1. _note_ - balance this with the need to do long warm-ups to achieve your working sets 2. _note 2_ - balance this with the need to perform long set-ups and tear-downs, changing plates takes time # More ## Source - [How To Train Like A Minimalist (More Gains In Less Time)](https://youtu.be/xc4OtzAnVMI) - [How to Cut Down Your Time at the Gym](https://youtu.be/HzFHAHOOA4A?si=FLa1CHThTmF539xi) ## Related - [[Pareto Principle]] - [[Ideal Exercise Regiment]] - [[Workout - My Shorter Barbell Routine]]
