You can also increase the time under tension, increase range of motion, lower rest periods, add sets/reps, etc. Most people only think about weight when it comes to progressive overload. But they're many variables to make the exercise harder. If people in prisons with the weights taken away can still get big, almost anyone can
Exactly all they do inside is high reps and they are huge and their endurance is off the charts if u can do 500 pushups and 800 squats your going to be able to do any physical task all day without getting tired and that is way more important than being able to lift something really heavy a couple of times
I don’t understand why people want to be HUGE. My goal is to be healthy, strong, and look good - yes, I think we should continue to push ourselves but I think finding a healthy body set and maintaining it is enough.
I don't go to planet fitness but I mean, unless you're powerlifting (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) then you can implement (negatives, pause reps, static holds, supersetting the same muscle for example a dumbbell chest press follow by a dumbbell chest fly.... there's so many ways to continue to grow without having to go heavier ... just my piece of mind 🤷♂️
do you know what max out means ? it means to get to the point where it’s so easy you stop making gains. you don’t do 10 pushups and struggle you eventually get it, becomes to easy so you bump it up. Staying on the same weights and not pushing your limits won’t give you gains lmfao. PF is good for beginners or people who’re getting their foot in the door, old people to.
Planet fitness is very underrated. You can become a natural bodybuilder with consistency and proper diet. Most people can’t even lift the 30 or 40 dbs let alone 75lbs. You can’t become Mr Olympia at p-fit but you can still definitely build your body up and make good gains.
I just left Gold's cuz the fee is 40 a month and I'm not training to compete anymore however, the move is bittersweet cuz I've been at Gold's since 2016-2019 with a trainer/coach and 2020-2023 without one. Once I max out, maybe go back to Gold's. I had a great gym, can't complain about 10 a month for PF fee. Any advise from weightlifters or bodybuilders at PF? Do's and dont's. I would appreciate the heads up.
It is as a matter of fact about the weight, you have to lift 6-15 reps to make optimal growth and if you’re not going until failure while being in that rep range you won’t grow as fast as if you did. You’re SUPPOSED to lift as heavy as you can for said amount of reps
@@vonicrimson3619 What you're talking about is the rep range for hypertrophy and rep to failure/hitting that last two rep struggle. The only reason I commented is because 75lbs is plenty for 99% of gym goers and shouldn't deter them from going to PF. I doubt this dude is doing 75lb db incline bench for 15 reps and even if he were able to, he could get to failure off of maybe 2 additional reps or adding a tempo change. If he plateaus at PF, it's unlikely due to 75lb DBs Time under tension with optimal ROM will create growth. Try a a lift that's under what you are capable of and do a 4040temp, full rom. 15rep versus what you've been doing and you'll hit failure.

I just signed up for Planet Fitness today. Going to start my Journey. Well to be honest I already started a few months ago with home workouts. And I've gotten bored lol. I feel like going to the gym will make me put out more effort. Wish me luck !
75 is not tooo bad, surprised Planet Fitness goes that heavy. You either need to: 1) bring a resistance band and wrap around the dumbbells and your back 2) make DB press your absolute last chest exercise so the feel heavier.
Yeah when you said in your live stream that you were going to planet fitness I was thinking that you'd be way too strong for everything and they'd kick you out for being too jacked and juicy. I respect the grind though 💪💪💪
@@DUA1SH0CKlol I'm sure someone like you can't do crap with 75lbs, acting tough behind your screen. Boyos here acting like 75lbs is too little while struggling with 20lbs dumbbells.
I purposely go to PF to avoid the gym bros and gym thots. There’s always equipment available and I can always get in get my workout and get out. It’s an uplifting positive atmosphere and the equipment is sufficient for staying fit healthy and strong. The only drawback for me is the lack of a pool and saunas etc. but overall, PF is a great gym with great value.
I’m going to say exactly what Sam Sykes said what he said when he went to PF if you have a good mindset in a alright gym you can reach your goals and become who you want to be,but if you go in there with a bad mindset of I can’t do anything with this then your not going to see growth,a good lifter can adapt
Bro incline bench press on the smith machine. It’s great. Great for seated overhead press. Even flat bench. Only problem with flat bench is your back may slip on their benches so would want to wear something that lets your bare back make contact with the bench.
I just came from watching a regional manager freaking out outside his territory over the bench challenge. Also i was introduced to planet fitness actually having a little more weight a bench and squat rack with bars…3 years later they were abolished.
I don’t like it as a serious lifter who uses free weights. But you can definitely get a good workout in if that’s all you have. And with thousands of locations if you travel it’s great
PF is actually great. People always say "they have pizza fridays(or used to), they dont have enough free weights"... so on and so forth, but its a great starting place and honestly if youre not a body builder you have more than enough to do there
These life fitness/hammer strength machines are the best things at planet fitness lol. They have the incline press, yates row, under handed hi-row at a pf in a town near me, love them.
Only up to 75lbs is pretty nuts. I’m skinny and I’d feel a bit limited with 75lbs, especially with dumbbell rows, RDLs and maybe flat bench in the near future
It depends on if this guy is doing maximum strength or doing sets for hypertrophy. He can slow down the concentric movements to 1 to 2 seconds and do 2 to 3 seconds for eccentric movements if there are no more weights. Or, if he is focused on power, then he can do the eccentric and concentric movements faster but safely. Maintain form, of course.
Those MTS are good quality. Really smooth. I've tried Nautilus to Atlantis and these are up to par. Planet Fitness carries good and well maintained equipment.
Planet fitness is pretty slept on I've been going for 4 years and ive seen lifters of all levels still able to get progress in a small gym like planet fitness
A set of six isn't a real set. I see with your dumbbell press you only do 4. Try doing them correctly and I guarantee you won't get up twice. So it appears you have many years of Planet Fitness ahead of you. I would recommend going to a real gym long enough to have someone show you how to maximize your lifting. Just be aware they will probably tell you to put your phone away and get serious about lifting first.
I train in a Swedish gym with a roughly 30 dollar membership. There are over 200 locations in the country which are all available with this one membership.
I don't think the max weight of dumbbells is what makes a gym "suck". PF is a budget gym for the absolute beginner and up to intermediate level. I would guess that the clientele and the "lunk alarm" is much more disliked, no? Makes sense they didn't spend a lot of money on the very heaviest weights when they would almost never be used. But I get it. Criticizing PF is the lowest hanging fruit there is, as "everyone" agrees they are the worst. Which they might well, be, I don't know, they don't have PF in my country. Just seems like very basic content.
It's so funny to hear all these guys act like Planet doesn't have enough weights for them and yet they're shaking like a leaf when they're doing half that shit😂😂😂
Or do a home gym, I would say get your beginning setup from Walmart but if you want long lasting products that are good quality but aren't a 50,000+ setup, I would recommend getting your stuff from titan fitness, my entire home gym besides a few items is all titan fitness, I would recommend a $5,000-$20,000 budget, so just stay at planet fitness until you save up
It seems as though the majority of Planet Fitness complainers are men, which is understandable because men are built to lift far heavier weights than women. But as a woman, I love Planet Fitness. I'm not looking to pick up something as heavy as an SUV. I just want to have the ability to lift like 40lbs without injuring myself. $10 a month is a crazy good deal!
Exactly. I'm a guy & I love the place. I'm not trying to look like a bruiser, just stay as healthy as I can. Most people are in this category. I have zero interest in lifting 100 damn pounds.v LoL

You push a 100 pound dumbbell and your chest look like the size of a kid in 3rd grade
What's the goal though? Strength? Don't even need 75lbs if getting a big chest is the goal. 10-20 reps per set is ideal for chest size growth
Those MTS are good quality. Really smooth. I've tried Nautilus to Atlantis and these are up to par. Planet Fitness carries good and well maintained equipment.
U should save for a barbell and a power rack. Barbell and a power rack = whole body workout
